MIRRORS
Automatic Inside Rearview Mirror
Your Cadillac is .
equipped with an

electrochromic
rearview mirror.

from headlamps behind

dark outside. Another photocell built into the mirror surface senses the
headlamps behind you.
The mirror
will darken gradually to reduce glare. This change may take a
few seconds. When the glare subsides, the mirror returns to its clear
daytime state.

keep holding until the letter
C appears. & -a

5 mph (8 kmlh) until the display reads a compass direction. For -
normal calibration, drive the vehicle on your everyday routine, and the
compass
will eventually calibrate.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you will 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 happens
to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember
to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind 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
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 it really is.)
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
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.
0 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.
