Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape
player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should
be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat.
If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette
to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.

Your power antenna will look its best and work well if it’s cleaned from
time to time.
To Clean the Antenna Mast:
1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna to full mast
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with clean cloth before retracting.
5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the radio or ignition on

I NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off your radio to
make the power antenna go down. This will prevent the mast
from possibly getting damaged.
If the antenna does not go down
when you turn the radio

cleaned.
In either case, lower the antenna by hand by carefully
pressing the antenna

YOUR DRIVING AND THE ROAD
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving. I
DEFENSM DMNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
c-
Please start with a very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts” in the
Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their
mistakes.

are common. Allow enough following distance. It’s the best defensive
driving maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never know when
the vehicle in front
of you is going to brake or turn suddenly.
DRUNIKE2v DRIVTNG
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a national
tragedy. It’s the number one contributor to the highway death toll,
claiming thousands
of victims every year. Alcohol takes away three things
that anyone needs to drive a vehicle:
Judgment
Muscular Coordination
Vision
Police records show that almost half
of all motor vehicle-related deaths
involve alcohol
- a driver, a passenger or someone else, such as a
pedestrian, had been drinking. In most cases, these deaths are the result
of someone who was drinking and driving. About 20,000 motor
vehicle-related deaths occur each year because of alcohol, and thousands
of people are injured.
Just how much alcohol is too much if a person plans to drive? Ideally, no
one should drink alcohol and then drive. But if one does, then what’s “too
much’’? It can be a lot less than many might think. Although it depends
on each person and situation, here is some general information on the
problem.
The Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of someone who is drinking depends
upon four things:
0 How much alcohol is in the drink.
The drinker’s body weight.
0 The amount of food that is consumed before and during drinking.
0 The length of time it has taken the drinker to consume the alcohol.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg)
person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will
end up with a BAC
of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the
same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses
of wine or three
mixed drinks if each
had 1-1/2 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin
or vodka,
It's the &.&at of alcohol that counts. For example,
if the same person
drank three double martinis
(3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an
hour, the person's BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who
consumes food just before
or during drinking will have a slightly lower
BAC level.

BODY WEIGHT IN POUNDS
The law in most U.S. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent.
In Canada the limit is
0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower
than that. The BAC will be over
0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in
one hour). Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohol is in
the drinks, and how quickly the person drinks them.
But it’s very important to keep
in mind that the ability to drive is affected
well below a BAC
of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills
of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching
0.05 percent, and
that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels
above
0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in an accident
increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of
0.05 percent or above. A
driver with a BAC level of 0.06 percent (three beers in one hour for a
180-pound or
82 kg person) has doubled his or her chance of having an
accident. At a BAC level
of 0.10 percent, the chance of that driver having
an accident is
six times greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chances are
twenty-five times greater! And, the body takes about an hour to rid itself
of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold
showers will speed that up.
“I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a
need
to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A

avoid the collision.
There’s something else about drinking and driving that many people
don’t know. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can
make crash injuries worse. That’s especially true for brain, spinal cord
and heart injuries. That means that if anyone who has been drinking
--
driver or passenger -- is in a crash, the chance of being killed or
permanently disabled is higher than
if that person had not been drinking.
And we’ve already seen that the chance of a crash itself
is higher for
drinking drivers.
CONTROL OF A VEHICLE
You have three systems that make your vehicle go where you want it to
go. They are the brakes, the steering and the accelerator. All three
systems have to
do their work at the places where the tires meet the road.
