headlamp CADILLAC DEVILLE 1995 7.G User Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Hydrupluning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires
that they can actually ride
on the water. This can happen if the road is wet
enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle
is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your tires haven‘t much
tread or
if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of
water
is standing on the road. If you can see reflections from trees,
telephone poles,
or other vehicles, and raindrops ‘‘dimple’‘ the water‘s
surface, there could be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning
usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn‘t a hard
and fast
rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when it
is raining.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0 Turn on your low beam headlamps -- not just your parking lamps -- to
help
make you more visible to others.
Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance. And be
especially careful when you pass another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear
room ahead, and be prepared to have your view restricted by
road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.)

Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When vou run
the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightlv. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it
keeps the battew charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and
possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps. Let
the heater run for awhile.
