1994 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD turn signal

c-
Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you’re
awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area
of vision, especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also,
you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or
stops. Keep b.ack a reasonable distance.
When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
lane. If the- way is clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that
more than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back.
And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back.again and wait for another opportunity.
take care thatsomeone isn’t trying
to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember to.glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When you
are far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal. and move back
into the right lane. (Remember that your. right outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you than it really is.)
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
0 Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to
turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get
ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease a little to
the right.

CITYDRZJTNG
One of the biggest .problems with city-streets .is the amount of traffic on
them. You’ll want to watch out for what the.other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety
in city driving:
0
0
0
Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and
plan your trip into an unknown part
of the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next section, “Freeway Driving.”)
Treat a green light as a warn@ signal.
A traffic light is there because
the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green., and
just before you start
to move, check. both ways for vehicles that have
not cleared the intersection or may.be running the red light.

r FREEWAYDRZWNG
,. . .
Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways,
turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest
of all roads. But they have
their own special rules.
The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and
keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the. other drivers are
driving. Too-fast or too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat
the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane.
At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway.
If you
have a clear view of the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp,
you should begin to check traffic. Try to determine where you expect to
blend with the flow. Try to merge into the gap at close to the prevailing
speed. Switch on your turn signal, check your-mirrors and glance over
your shoulder as often as necessary.
Try to blend smoothly with the
traffic flow.
Once you are on the.freeway, adjust your speed to the posted limit or to
the prevailing rate if it’s slower. Stay in the right lane unless you want
to pass..
Before changing lanes, check your mirrors..Then use your turn signal.
Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make
sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind” spot.

Passing
You’ll need more passing distance ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
Because you’re longer, you’ll need to go much farther beyond the passed
vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Backing 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.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade.
If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your
brakes
so much that they get hot and no longer work well.

ELUARD WMING FLASHERS
Your hazard warning flashers let you warn others. They also let police
know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lights will flash
on and off.
I
I
make your front and
rear turn signal lights
flash on and off.
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what position your key is in,
and even
if the key isn’t in.

I
To turn off the
flashers,
pull out on
the collar. When the
hazard warning
flashers are on, your
turn signals won't
work.

OTHER WNING DE'C.ICES
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at the side of the road
about
300 feet (100 ,m) behind your vehicle.
JUMP STARTING
If your battery has run down, you may want to use another vehicle and
some jumper cables to start your Cadillac. But please follow
the steps
below to do it safely.
