Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Making Turns
NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer
to come in contact with the vehicle. Your vehicle could be
damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other -
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the
trailer lamps will also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel will
flash
for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind
you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s
important
to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade. If
you don’t shift down, you might have to use your
brakes
so much that they would get hot and no longer work well.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of mini fuses, circuit breakers and maxi fuses. This greatly
reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow” one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value you need
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it (ie.
lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is powered by a MAXI TM fuse.
An electrical overload in the headlamp wiring may cause your headlamps to go
off and remain off. You will need to have your Cadillac serviced immediately.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MAXI fuse. An electrical
overload in the motor wiring may cause your wipers to stop working.
If
this happens you will need to have your Cadillac serviced.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load is too heavy (such as a switch being held on
with the window completely up), the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or the load is removed.
