Owner's Manual

When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper
lane well
in
advance.
If
you
miss your exit do not, under
any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the
next
exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed
is
usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going
slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a
Long Trip
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
Buick dealerships all across North America. They’ll be
ready and willing to help
if
you need
it.
Here are some things
you
can

Is
the tread good enough for
long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook along
your route? Should
you
delay your trip a short time
to
avoid a major storm system?
Maps:
Do
you have up-to-date maps?
