Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the
door is left partially open? the changer will not operate
and an error will occur. When the door
is closed, the
changer
will begin checking for discs in the magazine.
This will continue for
up to one and a half minutes,
depending
on the number of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door
all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer. Whenever
a CD
magazine with discs is loaded in the
changer, the CD symbol will appear
on the radio display.
If the CD changer is checking the magazine
for CDs, the
CD symbol will flash on the display until the changer
is
ready to play. When a CD begins playing, a disc and
track number will be displayed. The disc numbers are
listed on the front
of the magazine.
All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons, except for ejecting the CD magazine.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come
and go.
The range for most AM stations IS greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other.
AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control
on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to
it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle -- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
-- be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation
of your vehicle’s
engine, Cadillac radio
or other systems, and even
damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere
with the operation
of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.

Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in
spurts
-- heavy acceleration followed by heavy
braking
-- rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a
mistake. Your brakes may not have time to cool between
hard stops.
Your brakes will wear out much faster if you
do a lot
of heavy braking. If you keep pace with the
traffic and allow realistic following distances, you will
eliminate
a lot of unnecessary braking. That means
better braking and longer brake life.
If your engine ever stops while you’re driving, brake
normally but don’t pump your brakes.
If you do, the
pedal may get harder to push down.
If your engine
stops, you will still have some power brake assist. But
you will use it when you brake. Once the power assist is
used up, it may
take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push. Your
vehicle has anti-lock brakes
(ABS). ABS is an
advanced electronic braking system that will help
prevent a brakmg skid.
When you start
your engine and begin to drive away,
your anti-lock brake system
will check itself. You may
hear a momentary motor
or clicking noise while this test
is going on, and
you may even notice that your brake
pedal moves
a little. This is normal.

LOCK
If there‘s ;I problem with the
anti-lock
brake system, this
warning light will stay on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake
System Warning Light” in
the Index.

Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass
while you’re awaiting an opportunity. For one thing,
following
too closely reduces your area of vision,
especially if you’re following a larger vehicle. Also,
you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle
ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a
reasonable distance.
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.
If other cars are fined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait
your turn. But 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
0

e
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.)
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at
a time on
two-lane roads. Reconsider before passing the
next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.
Even though
the brake lamps are not flashing, it may
be slowing down
or starting to turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy for the
folIowing driver to get ahead
of you. Perhaps you
can ease a little to the right.
Let’s review what driving experts say about what
happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering
and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where the
tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep ttying
to steer and
constantly seek an escape route or area of less danger.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light
to see the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What
you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise
to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have less trouble adjusting
to night. But if you’re
driving. don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may
cut
down on glare from headlamps. but they also nuke a lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take
a second or two, or even several
seconds. for your eyes
to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn’t lower the high beams,
or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly
into the approaching headlamps. Keep your
windshield and all the glass
on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside
of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps
light up far less of a
roadway when
you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way. it’s easier
to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim.
so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers sufkr from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of it.

One of the biggest problems with city streets is the
amount
of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out for
what the other drivers are doing and pay attention to
traffk signals. Here
are ways to increase your safety in city driving:

e
Know the best way to get to where you are
going. Get
a city map and plan your trip into an
unknown
part of the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try to use the fieeways that rim and crisscross most
large cities. You’ll save time and energy. (See the
next
part, “Freeway Driving.”)
Treat a green light
as a warning signal. A traffic
light is there because
the corner is busy enough to
need it. When a light turns green, and just before
you
start to move, check both ways for vehicles that have
not cleared the intersection
or may be running the
red light.
