Q Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle afler an accident if I’m wearing a safety
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re upside down. And your
chance
of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can
unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.

Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags so people won ’t have to wear safety
A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in more of them in
belts?
the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with
safety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bag system ever offered
for sale has required the use
of safety belts. Even if you’re in a
vehicle that has air bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an accident -- even
one that isn’t your fault
-- you and your passengers can be hurt. Being
a good driver doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your control,
such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And the
greatest number
of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less
than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

THEFT
- Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft deterrent features,
we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
?- can help.

for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a

Parking at Night
- Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables
out of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take

When it’s dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps

off, and your low beam headlamps change

To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).

The Road Sensing Suspension (RSS) automatically controls the ride of
your vehicle. The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers
and struts in response to various road and driving conditions. The system
- .-
is capable of making these changes within milliseconds.
The Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control
and monitor the system. The computer receives input from vertical rotary
I__
position sensors, vehicle speed sensors, lift and dive signals and
determines optimum strut valving (suspension stiffness) for your current
operating conditions. The computer also receives feedback from the
various components to determine proper system operation. If the
computer receives an incorrect feedback from the system, an error code
will be set in memory and a SERVICE RIDE CONTROL message will
display on the Driver Information Center. If this message should appear,
have your vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.

The level control system automatically adjusts the rear trim height in
response to changes in vehicle loading. The system consists of an air
compressor assembly, air dryer, exhaust solenoid, compressor relay,
height sensor, air adjustable shocks and air tubing.
The height sensing function is performed by
the Road-Sensing Suspension
(RSS) rear position sensors. Rear trim height information is input from -
the rear position sensors to the RSS control module which controls
compressor and exhaust solenoid operation.
If the system has
a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a -
few seconds each time.
For a larger air leak the air compressor may stay on for up to seven
minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but
you can keep driving
your Cadillac. --

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however, FM signals will only
reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills may
interfere with
FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping, crackling or momentary hissing noises.
AM
-9 The range for most AM stations is greater than for EM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere
with
each other. (FCC regulations require some AM radio stations to reduce
signal strength at night to minimize interference.) 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.
This means your radio can produce quality AM sound comparable to
FM
stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality,
AMAX@includes more stations on the AM band. You don’t have to
do
anything to your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.

for about five seconds. Then it will go to the next station and pause, and
keep doing that until you press either the

upper knob.
SEEK This button selects stations, but it doesn’t keep moving as SCAN
does. When you press SEEK, up or down, the radio will automatically go

Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are
so thin that they may not
work well in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box,
it should say whether its bias,
or “equalization,” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120 p sec.
Your tape player
will adjust automatically for either type of cassette tape.
To Play a Cassette Tape
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Insert the cassette through the tape door. (The TAPE indicator in the
display will light.)
If you hear nothing or hear just a garbled sound, the cassette may not be
in squarely. Press the EJCT button to remove the tape and start over. The
tape equalization is automatically sensed and set. Inserting the cassette
also activates
DOLBY@ noise reduction.
DNR@ is the Dynamic Noise Reduction. It helps remove background hiss
noise from the radio.
*DNR@ is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor
Corporation.
3. Once the tape is playing, use the upper and lower knobs to adjust the
volume and balance, just as you do for the radio. Press the upper knob
to change tape direction. The arrow in the display shows which
direction the tape is being played.
