1994 CADILLAC SEVILLE wiper blades

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road y ou can’t
stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t as
good as on dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll
get even less traction. It’s always wise to go slower and be cautious
if rain
starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly
when your reflexes are tuned for driving on
dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see. Even
if your windshield wiper
blades are in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road
signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge of the road, and
even people walking.
It’s wise to keep your wiping equipment in good shape and keep your
windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts
when they show signs
of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or
when strips
of rubber start to separate from the inserts.

HIGmAY HITNOSIS
Is thh Actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just
plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack
of
awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum
of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t
let it happen to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than
a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.

scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of ,the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEMING THE OUTSIDE OF THE'
WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BLADES

wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.

Bon-Ami Powder@
(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.

windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced
when
worn.
