sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.

your Cadillac, and. the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine - IF YOU’RE STUCK: IN SAND, MUD, ICE OR
SNOW
- What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your
wheels.
The method known as “rocking” can help you get out when
you’re stuck, but you must use caution.
-
.---
NOTICE:
Spinning your wheels can destroy parts of your vehicle as well
as the tires. If you spin the wheels too fast while shifting your
transaxle back and forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
Rocking your vehicle to get
it out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will clear the area
around your front wheels. Then shift back and forth between
“R’
(Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible.
Release
the accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal when the transaxle
is in gear. If that doesn’t get you out
after a few tries, you may need to be towed out. If you do need to be
towed out, see “Towing Your Cadillac”
in the Index.

identical conditions.
There are
two different fuel economy estimates for each vehicle, one for
city driving and one for highway driving.
To develop these two estimates,
separate tests are used to represent typical everyday city and rural
driving.
The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates a 7.5
mile (12 km), stop and go trip with an average speed of 20 mph (32
km/h). The trip takes 23 minutes and has 18 stops. About one fifth of the
time is spent idling,
as in waiting at traffic lights or in rush hour traffic.
Two kinds of engine starts are used: a cold start, which is similar to
starting a car
in the morning after it has been parked all night and a hot
start, which is similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up,
driven and stopped for a short time.
The test used to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents
a mixture of "non-city" driving. Segments corresponding to different
kinds
of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test
simulates
a 10 mile (17 km) trip with an average speed of 48 mph (77
km/h). The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and no
stops.
To assure that the fuel economy numbers are most useful for consumers,
the EPA adjusts these laboratory test results to account for the difference
between controlled laboratory conditions and actual driving on the road.
The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward to arrive at
the estimates on
the fuel economy window sticker and the Gas Mileage
Guide. The city estimate is lowered by 10 percent and the highway
estimate is lowered
by 22 percent from the laboratory test results.
Experience has proven that these adjustment.s make the mileage
estimates correspond more closely to the actual fuel economy realized by
the average driver.
Even though these figures are adjusted, they still represent what the
average driver will get. Your fuel economy may be significantly higher or
lower, depending on how, when, and where your vehicle is driven. Here
are some things you can
do to increase fuel economy;
0 Combine errands into one trip.
0 Turn the engine off rather than letting it idle for more than a minute.
