’hrn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the
way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
I A I An arrow on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it’s released.
If the turn signal is left
on, a warning chime will sound
and the
DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for
a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb. Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs
to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index) and check
for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling
a turn.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-To-Pass
When the headlamps are on,
push the lever to turn the headlamp high beams on, and pull it to the center
position
to turn on the low
beams. This light on the
instrument panel will be on,
indicating high-beam usage.
This lets
you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you briefly to
flash-to-pass. When
you do:
If the headlamps are either off or in the DRL mode,
the high-beam headlamps will turn
on. They’ll stay
on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the
lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are on low beam, low beam will
remain active and high beam will also illuminate
until you release the lever.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle may need a
different turn signal flasher and/or extra wiring. Check
with your Cadillac dealer. The green arrows on your
instrument panel will flash whenever you signal a turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up, the trailer lamps
will also flash, telling other drivers you’re about to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument panel will flash for turns even if the bulbs
on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your signal when they
are not. It’s important to check occasionally to be sure
the trailer bulbs are still working.
Driving On Grades
Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before you start
down a long or steep downgrade. If you don’t shift
down, you might have to use your brakes
so much that
they would get hot and no longer work well.
On long uphill grades, reduce speed to 45 to 50 mph
(70 to 90 km/h) and avoid prolonged use of
SECOND (2) gear and engine speeds above 3800 rpm. Climbing grades steeper than 4 degrees at temperatures
above
90°F (32 “C)
with a loaded vehicle and trailer is
not recommended. The cooling system may temporarily
overheat. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index.
Parking on Hills
You really should not park your vehicle, with a trailer
attached, on a hill. If something goes wrong, your rig
could start to move. People can be injured, and both
your vehicle and the trailer can be damaged.
But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here’s
how to do it:
1. Apply your regular brakes, but do not shift into
PARK (P).
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the
regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load.
4. Reapply the regular brakes. Then shift into
PARK (P) firmly and apply your parking brake.
5. Release the regular brakes.
