TILT WHEEL
A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you
drive.
A tilt and telescope steering wheel allows you to adjust the height of the
steering wheel before you drive and to move the steering wheel toward
you and away
from you.
You can also raise it to the highest level to give your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the lever. Move the
steering wheel to a comfortable level, then release the lever
to lock the
wheel
in place.
POWER STEERLNG
Your Cadillac is equipped with Electronic Variable Assist power steering
system. Steering is easier at a lower speed and when parallel parking. At
higher speeds, steering efforts are increased to improve vehicle stability.
If your engine stops (or the power assist is reduced),
you can still steer.
But it will take more effort.

I NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads coula result in
I
costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Your rear drum brakes don't have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a
rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected.
Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires
are removed for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes
replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or
if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.

Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes
might not adjust correctly.
If you drive in that way, then -- very carefully --
make a few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so
your brakes will adjust properly.
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum
brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly
applying the brakes a
few times.
