warning that you are about to slow down and exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted. Reduce your speed according to your
speedometer, not to your sense
of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds,
you may tend to think you are going slower than you
actually are. For example,
40 mph (65 kmh) might seem like only 20 mph
(30 krn/h). Obviously, this could lead to serious trouble on a ramp
designed
for 20 mph (30 km/h)!
DmNG A LONG DISTANCE
Although most long trips today are made on freeways, there are still
many made
on regular highways.
Long-distance driving on freeways and regular highways is the same in
some ways. The trip has to be planned and the vehicle prepared, you
drive at higher-than-city speeds, and there are longer turns behind the
wheel. You’ll enjoy your trip more if you and your vehicle are in good
shape. Here are some tips for a successful long trip.
BEFORE LEAWNG ONA LONG TMP
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you must start when
you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s work -- don’t plan to make too
many miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it serviced and
maintained, it’s ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before
starting out.
Of course, you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready and
willing to help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are all windows clean
inside and outside?
0 Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?

If you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’t at or above
near
“FULL COLD.” add a 50/50 mixture of clean water (preferably
distilled) and a proper antifreeze at the coolant recovery tank. (See
“Engine Coolant”
in the Index for more information about the proper
coolant mix.)
1
A CAUTION: i
Jding only plain water to your cooling system can be
dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid like alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mix will. Your vehicle’s coolant
warning system is set for the proper coolant mix. With plain
water
or the wrong mix, your engine could get too hot but you
wouldn’t get the overheat warning. Your engine could catch fire
and you or others could be burned. Use
a 50/50 mix of clean
water and
a proper antifreeze.

It's a good idea to check your engine oil every time you get fuel. In order
to get an accurate reading, the oil must be warm and the vehicle must be
on level ground.
Turn
off the engine and give the oil a few minutes to drain back into the
oil pan. If you don't, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level.
,
L and clean it with a
paper towel
or cloth, ' then push it back in all
* I the way. Remove it
again, keeping the tip
lower.

To remove, turn the oil
fill cap to the left.
Just fill it enough to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating
range. Push
the dipstick all the way back in when you’re through.
What Kind of Oil to Use:
Look for three things:
0 SG
“SG” must be on the oil container, either by itself or combined with
other quality designations, such as “SG/CC,” “SG/CD,” “SF,SG,CC,”
etc. These letters show American Petroleum Institute
(MI) levels of
quality.

When to Check and Change:
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services"
in the
Index.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have
this done
at a Cadillac dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
Wait at least
30 minutes before checking the transaxle fluid level if you
have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90" F (32°C).
0 At high speed for quite a while.
In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200" F (82 " C to 93 " C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles (24 km) when
outside temperatures are above
50°F (10°C). If it's colder than 50°F
(10" C), you may have to drive longer.
