NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to pour vehicle -- like a
. tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it's very important
to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle's engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle's systems
may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal'rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the popping, crackling, or a momentary
hissing sound.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines.
Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
Speed Sensitive Volume
Your Delco radio automatically adjusts the volume level to compensate
for road and wind noise as you are driving.
Dolby@
This feature automatically removes noise on Dolby encoded tapes (no
button is required).
*Dolby@ is a registered trademark of Dolby Laboratories.

Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires
that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen
if the road is wet
enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can
if your tires haven’t much
tread or
if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of
water is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees,
telephone poles, or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the water’s
surface, there could be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn’t a hard
and fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when it
is raining.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0 Turn on your low-beam headlights -- not just your parking lights -- to
help make you more visible to others.
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance. And be
especially careful when you pass another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear room ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted by
road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.)

GM PARTICIPATION IN BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
MEDIATION/ARBITRATION PROGRAM*
Both Cadillac Motor Car Division and your Cadillac dealer are committed to
making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle.
If a situation
arises where you feel your concern has not been adequately addressed, our
experience has shown that the Customer Satisfaction Procedure described on
Page
1 is very successful.
There may be instances where an impartial third-party can assist in arriving at a
solution to a disagreement regarding vehicle repairs or interpretation of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
To assist in resolving these disagreements, Cadillac
voluntarily participates in BBB AUTO LINE.
BBB AUTO LINE is an out-of-court program administered by the Better
Business Bureau system to settle disputes between customers and automobile
manufacturers. This program is available free of charge to customers who
own or
lease a GM vehicle.
If you are not satisfied after following the Customer Satisfaction Procedure, you
may contact the BBB using the toll-free telephone number or the address listed
below:
BBB
AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite
800
Arlington, Virginia 22203
Telephone
1-800-955-5100
To file a claim, you will be asked to provide your name and address, your Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), and a statement of the nature of your complaint.
Eligibility is limited by vehicle age and mileage, and other factors.
We prefer that you utilize the Customer Satisfaction Procedure before you resort
to AUTO LINE, but you may contact the BBB at any time. The BBB will attempt
to resolve the complaint by serving as an intermediary between you and Cadillac.
If this mediation is unsuccessful, an informal hearing will be scheduled where
eligible customers may present their case to an impartial third-party arbitrator.
The arbitrator will make a decision which you may accept or reject. If you accept
the decision,
GM will be bound by that decision. The entire dispute resolution
procedure should ordinarily take about forty days from the time you file a claim
until a decision is made.
Some state laws may require you to use this program before filing a claim with a
state-run arbitration program or in the courts. For further information, contact
the BBB or the Cadillac Consumer Relations Center.
NOTE: This program may not be available in all states, depending on state law.
