The Road Sensing Suspension automatically controls the ride of your
vehicle. The system controls damping
forces in the shock absorbers and
struts
in response to various road and driving conditions. The system is
capable
of making these changes within milli-seconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control and
monitor the system. The computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration
sensors, wheel to body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive
signals,
and determines optimum strut valving or (suspension stiffness) for

sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
If they are, it could cause
a ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start
your Cadillac, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t
needed, and radios. This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries. And
it could save your radio!
I NOTICE:

If you leave your radio on, it could be badly damaged. The
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
Find the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery.
