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.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:

brake pedal;

these accessories for
10 more minutes.

Automatic
Your Cadillac may
have the optional
automatic
electrochromic
rearview mirror.
You may have the mirror that has a Three-position switch:
OFF, MIN and
MAX. If you do, just select a setting that suits your needs. When selecting
the
MAX setting, bright headlights far away will cause the mirror to
gradually darken. Use this setting in rural driving. By selecting the
MIN
setting, bright headlights have to be rather close for the mirror to darken.
Use this setting
for city driving.

This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from headlights 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
headlights behind you.
The mirror will darken gradually to reduce glare. This change may take a
few seconds.

To turn the mirror on, press the switch located at the base of the mirror.

daytime mode for a bright image
