WIPER To control the wipers turn the band on the multifuncrlon lever.
MIST: Turn the band toward you and then release it for a single wipe
cycle. For more cyc1e.s hold the band
on MIST longer.
LO or HI: Turn the band away from you to either LO (low speed) or to HI --
(high speed), depending on the wiper speed you want.
c_

between wipes. Move the band to the
DELAY position. The closer you
move it to
LO the shorter the delay.

Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive ~
safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they're frozen
to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become damaged, get new blades
or blade inserts.
-
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will __
stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload.

DRn/lNG IN THE MAT
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 harder 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 your wiping 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.

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.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BLADES
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with
GM Windshield Cleaner,
Bon-Ami Powder@
(GM Part No. 1050011). The windshield is clean if
beads do not form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when
worn.
WEATHERSTMPS
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every
six months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR
CADILLAC
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Whicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often with lukewarm or cold water.
