2002 CADILLAC ELDORADO mirror

2-50 Power Remote Control Mirrors
The control on the driver's
door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.
Press (R) on the selector switch to choose the right
mirror or (L) to choose the left mirror. The center
position is off and will not move the mirrors if the
control pad is touched.
To adjust the mirror, press the arrows on the control pad
in the direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each
mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
if you have the optional memory package. For more
information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for
the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature
is controlled by the on and off settings on the
electrochromic mirror. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night
Rearview Mirror with Compassº in the Index.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors,
it will also be equipped with the curb view assist mirror
feature. This feature will cause the passenger's mirror
to tilt when the vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R).
This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the
curb when you are parallel parking. To turn this feature
on or off, follow the directions included later in this
section. See ªMemory and Personalization Featuresº
in the Index.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five second delay has occurred, the passenger's mirror
will return to its original position. If further adjustment
is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may
be used. The mirror then returns to its original position.

2-51 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Heated Outside Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.

front of the passenger's seat. To lock the glove box
door, insert the oval key into the lock cylinder and turn

The map/storage pockets are located on each front door
as well as on the passenger's and driver's front seatbacks.

2-53 Cigarette Lighter
NOTICE:
Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your hand
while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
The cigarette lighter is located near the ashtray. You may
also have a lighter located at the rear seat air outlet.
Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop
back out by itself once the element has heated for use.
Cigarette lighters can be used to provide electrical
power to accessories. See ªAccessory Power Outletsº
in the Index for more information.
Sun Visors
Swing down the visor to block out glare. It can also be
detached from the center mount and moved to the side.
The driver's sun visor is also equipped with a storage
flap that can be used for maps or toll tickets.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Move the sun visor down and lift the cover to see the
mirror. Move the slide switch up or down to brighten
or dim the lamp.

3-8 Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, the rear
window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated to
remove ice and snow from the surface of the glass.
Press this button to
turn on the rear defogger.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Ventilation System
Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or the air
conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets are located in the center and at each
side of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction of airflow by moving the center control levers
or you can stop the airflow by moving the lever located
on each side of the outlets downward.

4-14

Do not get too close to the vehicle you want
to pass while you're awaiting an opportunity.
For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area of vision, especially if you're following
a larger vehicle. Also, you won't have adequate
space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops.
Keep back a reasonable distance.

When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up,
start to accelerate but stay in the right lane and
don't get too close. Time your move so you will be
increasing speed as the time comes to move into the
other lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have
a ªrunning startº that more than makes up for the
distance you would lose by dropping back. And if
something happens to cause you to cancel your pass,
you need only slow down and drop back again and
wait for another opportunity.

If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait
your turn. But take care that someone isn't trying to
pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle.
Remember to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and
start your left lane change signal before moving out
of the right lane to pass. When you are far enough
ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal
and move back into the right lane. (Remember that
your right outside mirror is convex. The vehicle you
just passed may seem to be farther away from you
than it really is.)

Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time
on two
-lane roads. Reconsider before passing the
next vehicle.

Don't overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.
Even though the brake lamps are not flashing, it may
be slowing down or starting to turn.

If you're being passed, make it easy for the following
driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease a
little to the right.
