The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt adjuster to the height that is right for you.

Sit well back in the seat. 2. Start pulling the shoulder belt out. r i r 3. Just before it reaches the end, give it a quick pull.
4. Let the belt go back all the way. You should hear a slight clicking sound. If you don't, the adjustment featurewon't set, andyou'll have to start again. 5. Now you can add a small amount o f slack. Lean folward slightly. then sit back. If you've added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack. pull the shoulder belt out as you did before a n d start again.

How the Air Bug System Works 1-24
Where is the air bag? The driver's air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passsngor's air baq is i n the instrument panel011 the passenger's side. L. When should an air bag inflate? The air bag is designed t o inflatc in moderate to scverc frontal or newfrontal crashes. Thc air bag w i l l inflate only if the impact speed is above tllc system's dcsigned "threshold Icvzl." If y o u r vehicle goes straight i n t o a wal t h a t docsn't nwvc' or deform.
What makes an air bag inflate? In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity. the air bag sensing system detects that thevehicle is suddenly stopping as a result of a crash. The sensing system triggers a chemical reaction of the sodium azide sealed in the inflator. The reaction produces nitrogen gas, which intlates the air bag.

c Q: What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt, hut the child is so small that the shoulder belt is vet7 close to the child’s face or neck‘!
Wherever the child sits. the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the child‘s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
SAFETY BELT EXTENDER If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt isn't long enough to fasten, your dealer will order you an extender. It's free.

Tips about Your Audio System Be aware that 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 hclp avoid hearing loss o r damage: 0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their cases away from contaminants, directsunlight and extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause failure of the tape player. Your tape plaver should be cleaned regularly each month or after every SO hours of &e.
Power Antenna Mast Care To Clean the Antenna Mast 1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the alltenna t o full mast extension. 2. Dampen a clcan cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent. 3. Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt. 4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth before retracting. 5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the radio or ignition on and off. 6. Then repeat if necessary. NOTICE: Don't lubricate thepower antenna. Lubrication could damage it.
YOUR DRIVING AND THE ROAD r P ....,... . . Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and in varying wcather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips on driving. DEFENSZW DRDTNG The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively. Please start with a very important safety device in your Cadillac: Buckle up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.) Defensive driving really means “be ready for anvthing.
Assume that pedestrians orother drivers arc going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their mistakes. Rear-end collisions are about the most preventable o f accidents. Yet they are common. Allow cnough following distance. It's the best defensive driving maneuver, in both city and rural driving. You never know when the vehicle in front of you is going to brake or turn suddenly.
The Bloocl Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of someone who is drinking depends upon fourthings: How much alcohol consunlcd e The drinker’s body weigh1 The amount of food that is consumed before and during drinking The length of time it has taken the drinker to c o I w n x the alcohol According to the American Medical Association. a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinks threc 12-ouncc (355 1111) bottlcs of beer i n an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent.
There is a gender difference, too. Women generally have a lower relative percentage of body water than men. Since alcohol is carried in body water, this means that a woman generally will reach a higher BAC level than a man of her same body weight when each has the same number of drinks. The law in many US.states sets thelegal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In a growing number of U.S. states, and throughout Canada, the limit is 0.08 percent. In some other countries it’s even lower.
CONTROL OF A WHICLE You have three systenx that make your vehicle go where you want it to go. They are the brakes, thc steering and the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work at thc places where the tires meet the road. Sometimes, aswhen you're driving on snow or ice, it's easy to ask more of those control systems than the tiresand road can provide. That means you can lose control of your vehicle.
Braking action involves yereeption timeand recrction time. First, you have, to decide to push on the brake pedal. That’sperceptioll time. Then you have to bring up your foot and do it. That’s rerrction time. Average rerzcfiorz t h e is about 3/4 of a second.But that’s only an average. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or threeseconds or more with another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination,and eyesight all play a part. So do alcohol, drugs and frustration.
4nti-Lock Brakes (ABS) Your Cadillac has an advanced electronic braking system that will help )revent a braking skid. This light o n the instrunlent panel will come on briefiy when you start your vehicle. ANTILOCK (!I When you start your vshiclc andbegin to drive away, you may hear a momentaw motor o r cliclcing noise. And you may even notic; that your brake pedal nloves a little while this is going on. This is the ABS system testing itself.
You slam on thebrakes. Here's what happens with ABS. A computer senses that wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each front wheel and at the rear wheels. The anti-lock system can change the brake pressure faster thanany driver could. The computeris programmed to make the most of available tire and road conditions. . ..,... ,......\ . '.'*.... You can steer around the obstaclewhile braking hard.
Traction Control System c Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one or both o f ihc front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and reduces engine power (by shutting off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
. . ..... . . . . . .. ... . ... ... .. To turn the system off, press the button labeled TRAC OFF located inside of the glove box. The TRACTION OFF message will display on the Driver Information Center. If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the button, the system won’t iurn off right away. It will wait u n t i l there’s no longer a current need to limit wheel spin. c You can turn the system back on a t any time by pressing the button again.
3 Steering Tips The traction vou can get i n a CUI-VC depcnds on the condition of your tires and the roaddsurfacc, theangle a t which thc c u n is ~ banked, and your speed. Whilc you'rc i n a curve, speed is the one factor you can control. Suppose you're steeringthrough a sharp curve. Then you suddenly accelerate. Both control systems -- stccring and acceleration -- have to do their work where the tircs meet the road.
Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere,or a child darts outfrom between parked cars and stopsright in front of you. You can avoid these problems by braking -- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s thetime for evasive action -- steering around the problem.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY You mav find sometime that yourright wheels have dropped off the edge of a r m d onto the shoulderwhile you’re driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pave.ment, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then,if there is nothing in the way, steer so that vour vehicle straddles the edgeof the pavement. You can turn the steeringwheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge.
So here are some tips for passing: 0 "Drive ahead." Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroadsfor situations thatmight affect your passing patterns.If you have any doubt whatsoever aboutmaking a successful pass, wait for a better time. 0 Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines.if yo^ can see a sign up ahead that might indicatea turn or an intersection, delay your pass. A broken center line usually indicates it's all right to pass (providing the road aheadis clear).
0 Don't overtake a slowlymoving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the brake lamps are notflashing, it may be slowing down or starting toturn, 0 If you're being passed, make it easv for the following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you can easi a little to the right. LOSS OF CONTROL Let's review what driving experts sav about what happens when the three control svstems (brakes, steeringan> acceleration) don't have enough friction where the tires meet the road to dowhat the driver has asked.
While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try Vour best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration?or braking (including engine brakingby shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could causethe tires to slide. You may not realize the surfdce is slippery until your vehicle is skidding. Leain t o recognize warning clues-- such as enough water, ice or packed snow on the road t o make a “mirrored surface”-- and slow down when you have any doubt.
0 0 0 0 Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you. Since you can‘t see a s well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can light up only so much road ahead. In remote areas, watch for animals. If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older these differences increase.
D M N G IN THE RAIN Rain and wet roads can meandriving trouble. On a wet road you can't stop, accelerate orturn 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 d w a ~ wise s to go slower and be cautious if rain starts tofall while you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes ;u'e tuned for driving on dry pavcment. The heavier the rain, the harder it is to see.

Hydrupluning Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your tires haven‘t much tread or if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a l o t of water is standing on the road.
CITYDRIVING P r I P I r One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on them. You’ll want to watch out forwhat the other drivers are doing and pay attention totraffic signals. Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving: Know the best way to get to where you are going. Gct a city map and pian your trip into anunknown part of the city just as you would for a cross-country trip. a Try to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities.
FREEWAYDRM-NG Mile for mile, freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. But they have their own special rules. The most important advice on freeway drivingis: Keep upwith traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same speed most of the other drivers are driving. Too-fastor too-slow drivingbreaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the left lane on a freeway asa passing lane. At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway.
Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. When you want t o leave the freeway, move t o the proper lanewell in advance. If vou miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Dr& o n tolthe ncst exit. The exit ramp can be cuwed, sometimes quite sharply. The exit speed is usually posted. BEFORE LEAUNG ON A LONG TRIP Make sure vou're ready. Try to be well rested.
H I G m A Y HYPNOSIS Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel‘? Callit highway hypnosis, lackof awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, thedrone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that canmake you sleepy.
- HILL AND MOUNTMN ROADS I. Driving on steep hills or mountainsis different from driving in flat or rolling terrain. If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you’re planning to visit there? here are some tips that can make your trips safer and moreenjoyable. 0 Keep your vchicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brake;. tires. cooling system and transaxle. These partscan work hard on mountain roads. Know how to go down hills.
c . . . . . . . . . . . . e Know how to go uphill. You n w want to shift down to a lower gear. The lower gears help cool your cnginc and transaxle, and you can climb the hill better. a Stay in your own lane when driving on two-laneroads i n hills or mountains. Don't swing wide or cut across the ccnter of thc road. Drive at speeds that let you stay in your own lanc. e As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be something in your lane, like a stalled car or an accident.
WINTER D W N G Here aresome tips for winter driving: a Have vour Cadiliac in good shape forwinter. Be sure your engine coolant mix is correct. c n P You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk. P r- i c r ! I f- F Include an ice scraper, asmall brush or broom, a supply of windshield washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles.
Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the roadprobably have good traction. However, if there is snowor ice between your tires and the road,you can have a very slippery situation. Youllhave a lot less traction or “giip” and will need to be very careful. What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet icecan be even more trouble because it may offer theleast traction of all.

If You’re Caught in a Blizzard i If you are stoppedby heavy snow, you could be in a serious situation.You should probably stay with your vehicle unless you know for sure thatyou are near help and you can hike through the snow. Here are some things to do to summon help andkeep yourself and your passengers safe: Turn on your hazard flashers. Tie a red cloth to yourvehicle to alert police that you’ve been stopped by the snow. Put on extra clothingor wrapa blanket around you.
. ... ..... ,. :. . . . c Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When vou run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightlv. This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the battew charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps. Let the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engineoff' and close the window almost all the way t o preserve the heat. Start the engine again and repeat this only when y o u feel reallv u~~comfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Presewe'the fuel as long as you can. T ' o help keep warm,vou can get out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises eve1i half hour or so until hclp comes.

TOWING A T M L E R 3-34
NOTICE: Pulling a trailer improperly can damage your vehicle andresult in costly repairs not covered by your warranty.To pull a trailer correctly, follow the advice in this part, and see your Cadillac dealer for important information about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Load-pulling conlponents such as the engine, transaxle,wheel assemblies, and tires areforced to work harder against the drag of the added weight.
You can ask a hitch dealer aboutsway controls. 0 Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first 1,000 miles ( 1 600 krn) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine, axle or other parts could be damaged. Then, during the first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailcr, don’t drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier loads. Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer.
A If you’re using a “dead-weight” hitch, the trailcr tongue (A) should weigh 1 0 % of thc total loaded trailer weight (B). If you have a “weight-dist~-ibut.ing’? hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 12$+ of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After Vou‘ve loaded your trailer.weigh the trailer and thenthe tongue, separately, t o see if the weights arc proper. If they aren’t, you may be able t o get them right simply by moving s o n x items around i n the trailer.
It's important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large trucks going by, and rough roads are a few reasons why you'll need the right hitch. Here aresome rules to follow: Will you have to make any holes in the body of your vehicle when you install a trailer hitch? If you do, then be suret o k a l the holes later when you remove the hitch. If you don't seal them?deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from yourexhaust can get into your vehicle (see "Carbon Monoxide'? i n the Index).
Driving with a Trailer Towing a trailer requiresa certain amount of experience. Before setting out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint yourself with the feel of Ilandling and braking w i t h the added weight of the trailer. And always keep i n mind that thc vehicle you are driving is now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsivs as your vehicle is by itself.
NOTICE: Making very sharp turns while trailering coulcl cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. Your whicle could be damagecl. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. When towing a trailer? the green arrows on your instrument panelwill flash for turns even if the bulbs on the trailcr are burned out. T h , 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.
Parking on Hills You really should not park yourvehicle, with a trailer attached, on a hill. If something goes wrong, y&r riq could start t o move. People can be injured, and both your vel;icle and the trailer can be darnagecl. But if you ever have to park your rig on a hill, here‘s how to do it: L. 1. Apply your regular brakes, butdo not shift into PARK (P). 2. ILiave sonleone place chocks under the trailer whecls. Wzen You Are Ready to Leave A@r Parking on n Hill 3 2. Let up on the brake pedal. 3.
Engine Cooling When Trailering Your cooling system may temporarily overheat during severeoperating conditions such as: e Climbing grades steeper than 4% at ambient temperatures above 90' F (32" C) with a loaded vehicle and trailer. Stopping after high-speed driving. e Idling for long periods in stop and gotraffic. If the ENGINE HOT-A/C COMPRESSOR OFF message appears on the Driver Information Center, d o no be alarmed. Thisis a normal function designed to reduce the load on the engine and cooling system.

If abrasive cleaners areused on the inside of the rear window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR CADILLLAC The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and durability. Washing Your Vehicle U The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finishis to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm or cold water. Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct ram of the sun. Dodt use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soaps.
Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, treesap, bird droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc. can damage vow vehicle's finish if they remain on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicleas soon as possible. If necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that arcmarked safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter. Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, wcather and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period of years.
SHEETMETAL DAIMAGE If your vehicle is damaged and requires sheetmctal repair or replacement, make sure thebody repair shop applies anti-corrosion material tothe parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. FINISH D M G E Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be repaired right away. Bare mctal will corrode quickly and may develop intc a major repair expense.
