the accelerator pedal. You‘ll now cruise at thc higher speed.

Tc) slow down in very small amounts, press thc button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this. you’ll go 1 mph ( I .6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another khicle While Using Cruise Control
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon vour speed,
load and the steepness of the hills. When going up stecp hills,iou may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill,
you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your
speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble and don’t use cruise control
on steep hills.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many
different driving conditions,
but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn
and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be
sure it isn't covered.
The
DRL system will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness
when:
The ignition is on
Thc headlamp switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in PARK (,P).
When it's dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
D RL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with anv vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.

MIRRORS
Automatic Inside Rearview Mirror
Your Cadillac is
equipped with
an
automatic
electrochromic inside
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 the
headlamps behind you.
The mirror will darken gradually to reduce glare. This change may take, a
few seconds. When the glare subsides, the mirror returns to its ckar
daytime state.
