Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a braking skid.
ANTI-
LOCK (0 ABS)
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 moves 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 Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
r
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid
sudden steering, acceleration, or braking (including engine braking by
shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is
skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues
-- such as enough water, ice or --
packed snow on the road to make a “mirrored surface” -- and slow down .
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock brake system
(ABS) helps avoid only the
braking skid.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on
them. You’ll want to watch out
for what the other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.
0
Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:
0
Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and
plan your trip into an unknown part of
the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next part, “Freeway Driving.”)
Treat a green light as a warning signal.
A traffic light is there because
the corner is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and just
before you start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have not
cleared the intersection or may be running the red light.

piece

sure
you properly secure these items in your vehicle. .__
