safely.
To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen
or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will
stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload.

windshield push the
paddle labeled PUSH,
then release it. After
washing the windshield
the wipers will stop,
unless you were using

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer.
It
can damage your washer system and paint.
CRUISE CONTROL
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40
km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below
about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.

Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a
reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want
to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in
advance.
If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
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.
BEFORE LEAVTNG ONA LONG THP
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
willing to help if
you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
0 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?
Lights: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?

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.
Driving on Snow or Ice
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.
