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
