Rainsense Wipers (STS Only)
I
:-
This feature is mounted on the passenger’s interior side
of the windshield behind the rearview mirror and is used
to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring the
amount of moisture that is on the windshield.
The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the
wiper stalk
to one of the five sensitivity levels within the
AUTO DELAY area. Turn
the stalk toward you for
minimum sensitivity and away from you for maximum
sensitivity. A single wipe will occur each time
you turn
the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level. An initial wipe occurs when
you turn the ignition on as a
reminder
that Rainsense
is active. The windshield wipers also
remain in a “high park” Position,
even when the ignition
is turned OFF.
The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well
as, a continuous low
or high speed depending on the
amount of moisture and the sensitivity level. The MIST
and “wash” cycles operate as normal and are not
effected by the Rainsense function.
I NOTICE:
The Rainsense feature should be turned off when
going
through a car wash to avoid damage.
It is important to note that the Rainsense wiping feature
(AUTO DELAY) can be overridden at any time
by
manually changing the wiper control to LO or HI speed.
Note that
if you ever need to replace the windshield,
make sure it is Rainsensor compatible.

Mirrors
Electrochromic DaylNight Rearview Mirror
Your Cadillac has an electrochromic day/night rearview
mirror.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell
on the back of the
mirror senses when it
is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high,
the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take
a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.

Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway
hypnosis”? Or
is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?
Call it highway hypnosis, lack
of awareness or whatever.
There
is something about an easy stretch of road with
the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the
road, the drone
of the engine and the rush of the wind
against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t let
it
happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can leave the
road in
less than a second, and you could crash and be
injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that
it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
a Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
a Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
a If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take
a nap, get some exercise or
both.
For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
