It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk Iid open because
carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You can’t
see
or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if electrica1 wiring
or other cable connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the trunk
lid
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest
speed with the setting on between
65 F (18” C) to 85 F
(29O C). That will force outside air into your vehicle. See
“Comfort Controls” in the Index.

THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways
you
can help.
__ Cadillac has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing
Key in the ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
When
you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your key
fr9m the ignition and take it
with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
~ for joy riders or professional thieves -- so don’t do it.

--
>-
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without
a trailer. This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Bucking Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer
to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and,
if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or
other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal
well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel
will
flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the
trailer lights will also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel
will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind you are seeing your signal when they are not.
It’s important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working. -

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination
of Mini Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Maxi Fuses. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow” one
of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value you need
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it (ie.
lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
