If this light comes on, 
when your wipers  are 
turned  on,  it  means 
you’re  low  on  washer 
fluid. 
- 
A CAUTION: 
II 
Driving  without  washer  fluid  can  be dangerous. A bad  mud 
splash  can  block your vision.  You could  hit  another  vehicle or 
- 
go off the  road.  Check your  washer  fluid  level  often. 
In freezing weather, don’t use  your  washer  until  the 
windshield 
is warmed.  Otherwise  the  washer  fluid  can  form 
ice 
on the  windshield,  blocking your vision.

warning  that you are  about  to  slow  down and exit. 
The  exit ramp  can be curved, sometimes  quite sharply. 
-. 
U t I! The exit speed  is  usually  posted.  Reduce  your speed according  to your 
speedometer,  not  to  your sense 
of motion. After driving  for any  distance 
at  higher speeds,  you  may tend  to think you are going  slower  than you 
actually  are. For example, 
40 mph (65 h/h)  might seem like  only 20 mph c_? 
(30 km/h).  Obviously,  this could lead  to serious  trouble  on  a ramp 
designed  for 
20 mph (30 kmih)!

DRIVTNG  A  LONG DISTANCE 
Although  most long trips today  are  made  on  freeways, there  are still 
many  made  on  regular highways. 
Long-distance  driving on freeways  and regular  highways  is  the  same in 
some  ways.  The trip has 
to be  planned  and  the vehicle  prepared,  you 
drive  at higher-than-city  speeds,  and there  are longer turns behind  the 
wheel.  You’ll  enjoy  your trip  more  if you  and your  vehicle  are in good 
shape.  Here  are  some tips for a successful  long  trip. 
BEFORE LEAWNG  ONA LONG  TRlP 
Make  sure you’re  ready. Try to  be  well rested. If you  must  start when 
you’re  not  fresh 
-- such  as  after a day’s  work -- don’t plan  to make  too 
many  miles  that first part  of the  journey.  Wear comfortable clothing  and 
shoes  you can easily  drive  in.

Is your  vehicle  ready  for a long  trip? If you keep  it serviced  and 
maintained,  it’s  ready to 
go. If it needs  service,  have  it  done  before 
starting  out. Of course,  you’ll find experienced  and  able service experts  in 
Cadillac dealerships  all  across North America.  They’ll be ready  and 
7 
willing  to help if you  need  it. -1 
Here  are  some things  you  can check  before  a trip: 
Windshield  Washer  Fluid: Is the  reservoir  full? Are all  windows  clean 
inside  and  outside? 
Wiper  Blades: Are they in  good  shape? 
0 Fuel, Engine  Oil, Other  Fluids:  Have you  checked  all  levels?

Include an ice  scraper,  a small  brush or broom,  a supply  of windshield 
washer fluid, a  rag, some  winter  outer clothing,  a small  shovel,  a 
flashlight,  a red  cloth,  and a couple  of reflective  warning  triangles.  And, 
if ' - 
you  will be driving  under severe conditions, include a  small bag of sand,  a 
piece  of old  carpet  or  a couple  of burlap  bags to help  provide  traction.  Be 
- 
sure you properly  secure these items  in your  vehicle. 
n 
Driving on Snow or Ice F 
Most  of the  time, those  places where  your tires  meet the road  probably 
have  good  traction. 
However, 
if there  is  snow  or ice  between your tires  and the road,  you can 
have a 
very slippery  situation.  You'll  have  a lot less traction  or "grip"  and 
will  need 
to be very careful.

An electric fan  under  the  hood can start  up  and  injure  you  even 
when  the engine  is not  running.  Keep hands,  clothing  and tools 
away  from any  underhood  electric fan. 
A CAUTION: 
Things that  burn  can get on hot engine  parts  and  start  a fire. 
These  include  liquids  like  oil, coolant,  brake  fluid, windshield 
washer  and  other  fluids, and plastic  or rubber. 
You or  others 
could  be burned.  Be careful  not  to drop  or  spill  things  that  will 
burn  onto 
a hot engine.

Before  closing  the  hood,  be  sure  all the  filler caps  are  on properly.  Then 
just  pull  the hood  down  and close it  firmly. 
ENGINE  OIL 
If the  “Low  Oil Level”  light on  the  instrument  panel  comes on, it means 
you  need  to  check your engine  oil  level  right away.  You  should check your 
engine  oil 
level regularly;  the light is an  added  reminder. 
It’s  a good  idea to check your  engine oil  every  time you get 
fuel. In  order 
to get  an  accurate  reading, the oil  must  be warm  and the vehicle must  be 
on  level  ground. c1
