The traffic police officer is also a source of important information. The
officer’s signals govern, no matter what the traffic
lights or other signs
say.
The next section discusses some
of the road conditions you may
encounter.
DEFENSm DmNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defens\
ively.
Please start with a
very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On\
city streets,
rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do.
Be ready for their
mistakes.
Expect children to dash out from behind parked cars, often followed by
other children. Expect occupants
in parked cars to open doors into traffic.
Watch for movement in parked cars
-- someone may be about to open a
door.
Expect other drivers to run stop signs when you are on
a through street.
Be ready to brake if necessary as you go through intersections.
You may
not have to use the brake, but if you do, you will be ready.
If you’re driving through a shopping center parking lot where mere are
well-marked lanes, directional arrows, and designated parking are\
as,
expect some drivers to ignore all these markings and dash straight toward
one part
of the lot.
Pedestrians can be careless. Watch for them. In general, you must give
way to pedestrians even
if you know you have the right of way.
Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable of accidents. Yet
they
are common. Allow enough following distance. It’s the best defensive
driving maneuver,
in both city and rural driving. You never know when
the vehicle in front of you is going to brake or turn suddenly.

room. That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around the problem.
Your Cadillac can perform
very well in emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes. It is better to remove as much speed as
you can from a
possible collision.
Then steer around the problem, to the left or right
depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If
you are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock
positions, you can turn
it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But
you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly
straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. You must then be
prepared to steer back to your original lane and then brake to a
controlled stop.
Depending
on your speed, this can be rather violent for an unprepared
driver. This
is one of the reasons driving experts recommend that you use
your safety belts and keep both hands
on the steering wheel.
I
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good
reason to practice defensive driving at all times.
OFF-ROAD RECOKERY
You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge
of a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Maintenance when Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer.
See the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are
especially important
in trailer operation are automatic transaxle fluid
(don’t overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belts, cooling system, and brake
adjustment. Each
of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will
help you find them quickly. If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review
these sections before you start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

Buying New Tires
To find out what kind and size of tires you need, look at the Tire-Loading
Information label.
The tires installed
on your vehicle when it was new had a Tire
Performance Criteria Specification
(TPC Spec) number on each tire’s
sidewall. When you get new tires, get ones with that same
TPC Spec
number. That way, your vehicle will continue to have tires that are
designed to give proper endurance, handling, speed rating, traction, ride
and other things during normal service
on your vehicle. If your tires have
an all-season tread design, the
TPC number will be followed by a “MS”
(for mud and snow).
If you ever replace your tires with
those not having a TPC Spec number,
make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating and
construction type
(bias, bias-belted or radial) as your original tires.
A CAUTION:
Mixing tires could cause you to lose control while driving. If you
mix tires of different sizes or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle
may not handle properly, and you could have a
crash. Be sure to use the same size and type tires on all four
wheels.
It’s
all right to drive with your compact spare, though. It was
developed for use
on your vehicle.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the system developed by the United
States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration which grades tires
by treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This applies only
to vehicles sold
in the United States.)

Just use warm water and a clean cloth.
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it
more than once.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent-type vinyl/leather cleaner.
CLEANING THE TOP OF THE
INSTRUMENT PmEL
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones
or waxes may cause annoying
reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.
Care of Wood Panels
Use a clean cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild dish
washing soap).
Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.
Wood surfaces can be polished using ordinary household furniture
polishes. Apply the
polish to a clean cloth, then rub the cloth on the
wood panel.
CARE OF SAFETYBELTS
Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely
weaken them.
In a crash they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.
