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.

"Drive ahead." Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for
situations that might affect your passing patterns. If you have any
doubt whatsoever about
making a successful pass, wait for a better
time.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines.
if yo^ can see a
sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your
pass.
A broken center line usually indicates it's all right to pass
(providing the road ahead is clear). Never cross a solid line on your
side
of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
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, especiallv 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 specd as the time comes to move into the other
lane.
If the way is clear to pass, you will have a "running start" 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 c to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder ;ind check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors. glancc
OVC~ your shoulder. ;~nd start your lcft 1;tnc
change signal bcfortj moving out of thc right 12111~ to pass. Whcn you
are far enough ahead of the passul 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.
