Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving with a Trailer
n Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want to get to
know your rig. Acquaint
yourself with the feel
of handling and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform (and attachments),
safety chains, electrical connector, lamps, tires and mirror adjustment. If
the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are
working. This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
. During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and
that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to
go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left.
To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and,
if
possible, have someone guide you.

ENGINE COOLANT
The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
Overheating”
in the Index.
The proper coolant for your Cadillac
will:
Give freezing protection down to -34’F (-37OC).
0 Give boiling protection up to 262’F (128OC).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
0 Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use
a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant flush and
refill. If you use this
mixture, you don’t need to add anything else.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is powered by a
MAXI” fuse. An electrical overload in the headlamp wiring may cause
your headlamps
to go off and remain off. You will need to have your
Cadillac serviced immediately.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MAXI TM fuse. An electrical
overload in the motor wiring may cause your wipers
to stop working. If
this happens
you will need to have your Cadillac serviced.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy (such
as a switch being
held on with the window completely up), the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or the load is removed.
