1996 CADILLAC DEVILLE low beam

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the DIC
will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about
a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may
be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and then release
it to change the
headlamps
from low beam
to high
or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will
be on
indicating high beam usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works
even
if the headlamps are ‘off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to use. When
you do:
0 If the headlamps are off, the high-beam headlamps
will turn
on. They’I1 stay on as long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn them
off.
0 If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high
beam and stay there. Pull the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward you.

Lamps on Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition while leaving the lamps
on, if the manual
headlamp control is activated. An exception to this is
when you’re using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day.
DRL can be helpful
in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in
the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The
DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps
come
on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the low-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be
on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the
DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit up either. When
it’s dark enough outside, the low-beam
headlamps (at reduced intensity) will change
to normal
low-beam headlamp operation. When it’s bright enough
outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and the low-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness
of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, tum off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Underhood Lamp
Turn the parking lamps on to operate the underhood lamp. The underhood
lamp will come on when the hood
is open.

Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Since
you can’t see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between you and other
vehicles.
Slow down, especially
on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road. in a safe place and
rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What
you do in the daytime can also affect y6lE night
vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you
are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes
will have less trouble adjusting
to night. But if you’re
driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down
on glare from headlamps, but they also make a
lot of things invisible. You
can
be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take
a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from
a driver who
doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps), slow down
a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside
of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust.
Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils
of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up
far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep
your
eyes moving; that way, it’s easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim,
so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of
it.

Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up
under your tires that they can actually ride on the water.
This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re
going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often.
But it can if your
tires haven’t much tread or
if the pressure in one or
more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on
the road.
If you can see reflections from trees, telephone
poles or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the
water’s surface, there could
be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There
just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The
best advice is to slow down when it
is raining.
Driving Through Deep Standing Water
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or
standing water, water can come in through your engine’s
air intake and badly damage your
engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you
can’t avoid
deep puddles or standing water, drive
through them very slowly.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0
0
Turn on your low-beam headlamps -- not just your
parking lamps
-- to help make you more, visible to
others.
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following
distance. And be especially carehl when
you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room
ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted
by road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See
“Tires” in the Index.)
