The horn can be sounded by pressing any surface on the
center steering wheel pad.
Tilt Wheel
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before
you drive. Raising the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs more room when you enter
and exit the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you
to tilt the wheel. Adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and then release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal
a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete.
A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it's released.

A CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can’t drive safely at
a steady speed. So,
don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can
be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t
use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. (See “Traction
Control System” in the Index.) When road conditions
allow you
to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise
control back
on.
Setting Cruise Control
A CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you’re not using cruise,
you might hit a button and
go into cruise when you don’t want to. You could
be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise
control switch
OFF until you want to use it.
n ‘ .,...., -
1. Move the cruise control
switch to ON.
2. Accelerate to the speed you want.

message appears. Have your Cadillac serviced by your
dealership at once.
REDUCED ENGINE POWER - 41: This message
informs the driver that due
to wheel slippage your
vehicle is reducing engine power
to compensate for the
loss of traction. Accelerating too fast causing the tires to

Here's how anti-lock works. Let's say the road is wet.
You're driving safely. Suddenly an animal jumps out in
front
of you.
You slam on the brakes. Here's what happens with
ABS.
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one
of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will
separately work
the brakes at each front wheel and at the
rear wheels. The
anti-lock system can change the brake pressure
faster than any driver could. The computer is
programmed to make the most
of available tire and
road conditions.
." .,., ;,. ., ,
You can steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If
you get too close to the vehicle in
front
of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you have
anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and let anti-lock work for
you. You may hear the
anti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel the brake
pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Traction Control System.
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates only if
it senses that one
or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, the system works the
front brakes and reduces engine power to limit wheel
spin.
The TRACTION ACTIVE message will display on the
Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See “Driver Information
Center Messages’’ in the Index.
You may feel or hear the
system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit
wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control.
(See “Cruise Control’’ in
the Index.)

Us& ptxr anti-lock braking system when you need to.
With anti-lock,
you can steer and brake at the same
time. In
many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but
it will take much more effort.
MAGNASTEER (STS Only)
Your vehicle may be equipped with GM MAGNASTEER,
a system that continuously adjusts the effort you feel when
steering at
all vehicle speeds. It provides ease when
parking yet
a fm, solid feel at highway speeds.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS) (SLS Only)
This system varies the amount of steering effort
proportionate to your vehicle speed. Steering
is easier at
a lower speed for maneuvering and parking ease‘.
As
your vehicle speed increases, the steering effort also
increases.
At highway speeds, the amount of steering
effort is increased to provide manual-like steering for
maximum control and stability.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on
the news happen on curves. Here’s
why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to
the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The
traction
of the tires against the road surface makes it
possible for the vehicle to change its
path when you turn
the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia will keep
the vehicle going in the same direction.
If you’ve ever
tried
to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll understand this.
