night vision CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One
reason is that some drivers are likely
to be impaired -- by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems,
or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
0 Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
0 Since you can’t see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. E’our
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
0 In remote areas, watch for animals.
0 If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.

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.
