“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 you 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 isclear.):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 closelo the,vehicle you want.to pass while you’re
awaiting- an opportunity. For .one lthmg, following too closely reduces
your
area ,of vision, especially if you’re .following a ‘larger vehicle. Also,
you-won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahe:ad 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 1ane.and.don’t.get too dose. Time your move
so
.you wiIl.be .increasing speed 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 happensto.cause:youto cancel your pass, you need I
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
-If other cars are 1ined.u~ to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you:,pull outto pass
the slow vehicle. -Remember
to ‘glance over. your shoulder-and check
theblind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving.out
of the right .lane to pass,. When you
:are far:enough ahead
of ,the passed vehicle to see its front in. your
inside mirror, activate your right. lane change signal
and move back I
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 itreally is.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to
turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get
ahead
of you. Perhaps you can ease a little to the right.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Let’s review what driving experts say about what happens whe\
n the three
control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t ha\
ve enough
friction where the tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek
an escape route or area of less danger.
Skidding
In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid
most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by
not “overdriving” those conditions. But skids are always possible.
The three types of skids correspond
to your Cadillac’s three control
systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren’t rolling.
In the steering or
cornering skid, too much speed or steering
in a curve causes tires to slip
and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid too much throttle
causes the driving wheels to spin.
A cornering skid is best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and
quickly steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. If you start steering
quickly enough, your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a
second skid if it occurs.
Of course, traction is reduced
when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other
material is on the road. For safety, you’ll want
to slow down .md adjust
your driving
to these conditions. It is important to slow dowr on slippery
surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control
more limited.

Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet road you can’t
stop, accelerate or turn as well because your tire-to-road traction isn’t .as
good as on dry roads. And,
if your tires don’t have much tread left, you’ll
get even less traction. It’s always wise to go slower and be cautious
if rain
starts to fall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly
when your reflexes are tuned for driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the ha&r it is to see. ,Even if your windshield. wiper
blades are ‘in good shape, a heavy rain can make it harder to see road
signs and traffic signals, pavement markings, the edge
of the road, and
even people walking.
It’s
wise to. keep yourwiping -equipment,in.good shape ,and keep your
windshield washer tank filled. Replace your windshield wiper inserts
when they show signs
of streaking or missing areas on the windshield, or
when strips of rubber start
to separate from the inserts.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use your turn signal.
Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make
sure there isn’t another vehicle
in your “blind” spot.
Once you are moving
on the freeway, make certain you allow .a
reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well
in
advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and
back up. Drive
on to the next 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.
BEFORE LEAVTNG ONA LONG THP
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?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good,shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil. Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels?

There: are two;different fuel economy estimates ,for each vehicle., one for.
city driving
and one for highway driving ... To develop these two .estimates,. ;
separate tests .are used to represent typical everyday city and rural
driving.
The test used to determine the city fuel economy estimate simulates a
7.5 mile (12 km), stop and go trip with. an average speed of 20 mph
(32 km/h). The trip takes 23, minutes and: has 18 stops. About one fifth
of the time is spent idling, as in waiting at traffic lights or in rush hour
traffic.
Two. kinds of engine starts are used: a cold start, which is similar to
starting a car in the morning after it has been parked all night and a hot
start, which is similar to restarting a vehicle after it has been warmed up,
driven and stopped for a short time.
I
!
i j I i
The test used to determine the highway fuel economy estimate represents
a mixture of “non-city” driving. Segments corresponding to different
kinds of rural roads and interstate highways are included. The test
simulates a
10- mile (17 km) trip with an average speed. of 48 mph (77
km/h). The test is run from a hot start and has little idling time and no
stops.
To assure that the fuel economy numbers are most useful for consumers,
the EPA adjusts. these .laboratory test. results. to account for the difference
between controlled laboratory conditions and actual, driving on the road.
The laboratory fuel economy results are adjusted downward
to arrive at
the estimates on the fuel economy window sticker and the
Gas Mileage
Guide. The city estimate is lowered by
10 percent and the highway
estimate is lowered by
22 percent from the laboratory test results.
Experience has proven that these adjustments make the mile:age
estimates-correspond more closely to the actual fuel economy realized
by
the average driver.
