bulb CADILLAC ELDORADO 1995 10.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay on
a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If
a bulb is burned out, rcplacc it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses’’ in
the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Wiper Activated Headlumps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for approximately 23 seconds.
In order
to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the twilight sentinel
must
be in the ON position. This feature lights the way in poor weather
and
it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper
activated headlamps are
on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the
wiper activated headlamps
will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you turn off the twilight
sentinel
or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of
one or two seconds.
Headlamp High-Low Beam
To change the
headlamps from low
beam
to high or high to
low, pull the turn signal
lever all
the way toward
you. Then releasc it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue
light
on thc instrument
panel
will also be on.
Flash-To-Pass Feature
This lets you use your high beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of
you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps are off.

NOTICE:
Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer
to come in contact with the vehicle. Your vehicle could be
damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering.
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. DO this
so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel will
flash whenever you signal
a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the
trailer lamps
will also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel
will
flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you
may think drivers behind you are seeing your
signal when they are not. It’s
important to
che.ck occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still
working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start down a long or
steep downgrade.
If you don’t shift down, you might have to use your
brakes
so much that they would get hot and no longer work well.
