New Vehicle CLBreak-In’’
NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate

you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
0 Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release
it. A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 b/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. when
you take
your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills,
you 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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control
or the ignition.

This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare
when set in the
M (Mirror) or C/M (Compass/Mirror)
positions. One photocell
on the back of the mirror
senses
when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell
is built into the mirror surface to sense
headlamps behind
you.

compass.
The mirror will stay in the day mode.
M: This turns on the day/night portion of the mirror to
automatically reduce glare.

Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
automatic mirror. When the shift lever
is placed in
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode.
This gives you a bright image in the mirror as you
back up.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature work. Once the compass is calibrated,
it does not need to be
recalibrated. To calibrate
the compass:
1. Set the switch on the mirror control to C/M.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition switch on. The letter C
should be displayed in the mirror compass window.
If not, hold the CAL switch (on the bottom of the
mirror)
for more than 10 seconds, and the letter C
will appear. To hold in the CAL switch, insert a
paper clip into the small hole on the bottom of the
mirror housing. The display will show a number first, but keep holding until the letter
C appears.
3. For quick calibration, drive the vehicle in a
360-degree circle at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) until
the display reads a compass direction.
For nonnal
calibration, drive the vehicle
on your everyday
routine, and the compass will eventually calibrate.

1. Find your location on the zone map. Note the
zone number.
2. Hold in the CAL switch (on the bottom of the mirror
