Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine _u_ TILT WHEEL
A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the height of the steering wheel
before you drive.
You can also raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
g_
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the lever. Move the
steering wheel to a comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel in place.

- POWER STEERING
Your Cadillac is equipped with Electronic Variable Assist power steering
system. Steering is easier at a lower speed and
when parallel parking. At
I_ higher speeds, steering efforts are increased to improve vehicle stability.
If your engine stops (or the power assist is reduced), you can still steer.
But it will take more effort.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you
can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can
help you more than even the very best braking.
STEERING
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine stops or the system
fails to function, you can steer but it will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on the news
happen on curves. Here’s why:
Experienced driver
or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of
physics when driving on curves. The traction
of the tires against the road
surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn
the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia
will keep the vehicle going
in the same direction. If you’ve ever tried to steer
a vehicle on wet ice,
you’ll understand this.
The traction you can get in a curve depends on the condition
of your tires
and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and your
speed. While you’re in a curve, speed is the
one factor you can control.
Suppose you’re steering through a sharp curve. Then you suddenly
accelerate.
If your traction control system
is disabled, those two control systems --
steering and acceleration -- can overwhelm those places where the tires
meet the road and make you lose control.
What should you do if this ever happens? Let up on the accelerator
pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down.
