Tips about Your Audio System
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound.
Sound that seems normal can
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions
by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts
to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Avoid needless heavy braking. Some peoplc drive in spurts -- heavy
acceleration followed by heavy braking
-- rather than keeping pace with
traffic. This is a mistake. Your brakes may
not have time to cool between
hard stops.
Your brakes will wear out much faster if you do a lot of heavy
braking. If you keep pace with the traffic and allow realistic following
distances,
you will eliminate a lot of unnecessary braking. That means
better braking and longer brake
life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake normally but don’t
pump your
brakes. If you do, the pedal may get harder to push down. If
your engine stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But you will
use it when you brake. Oncc thc power assist is used up, it may take
longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS)
Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent
a braking skid.
ANTI-
LOCK (@)
This light on the
instrument panel will
come on briefly when
you start your vehicle.
When
you start your vehicle and begin to drive away, you may hear a
momentary motor
or clicking noise. And you may even notice that your
brake pedal mows a little while this is going
on. This is the ABS system
testing itself.
If there’s a problem with the anti-lock brake system, the
anti-lock brake system
warning light will stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brakc System Warning Light”
in the Index.
