"Drive ahead." Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for
situations that might affect your passing patterns. If you have any
doubt whatsoever about
making a successful pass, wait for a better
time.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines.
if yo^ can see a
sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your
pass.
A broken center line usually indicates it's all right to pass
(providing the road ahead is clear). Never cross a solid line on your
side
of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
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, especiallv if you're following a larger vehicle. Also,
you won't have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or
stops. Keep back
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 specd 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
If other cars are lined up
to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone
isn't trying c to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder ;ind check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors. glancc
OVC~ your shoulder. ;~nd start your lcft 1;tnc
change signal bcfortj moving out of thc right 12111~ to pass. Whcn you
are far enough ahead of the passul 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.)
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing
the next vehicle.

brake lamps are not flashing,
it may be slowing down or starting to turn,
0 If you're being passed, make it easv for the following driver to get
ahead
of you. Perhaps you can easi a little to the right.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Let's review what driving experts sav about what happens when the three
control svstems (brakes, steering an> acceleration)
don't have enough
friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don't give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek
an escape route or area of less danger.
In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid
most skids
by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by
not "overdriving" those conditions.
But skids are always possible.
The three types of skids correspond to your Cadillac's three control
systems.
In the braking skid your wheels aren't rolling. In the steering or
cornering skid, too much speed or steering
in a curve causes tires to slip
and lose cornering force. And
in the acceleration skid too much throttle
causes
the driving wheels to spin.
A cornering skid is best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Remember: Any traction control system helps avoid only the acceleration skid.
If your traction control system
is off? then an acceleration skid is also best
handled by easing your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and
quickly steer
the way you want the vehicle to go. If you start steering
quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a
second skid
if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material
is on the road. For safety, you'll want to slow down and adjust your driving to
these conditions. It is important to
slow down on slippery surfaces because
stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine DMNG IN THE RAIN
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you 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 dwa~s 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 ;u'e tuned for driving on dry pavcment.
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
cven peoplc walking.
It's wise to keep vour wiping quiptnent in good shape and keep your
windshield wash&
tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts when
they show signs c. of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or when
strips
of rubber start to separatc from the inserts.
