CADILLAC MOTOR CAR DIVISION a Few automobiles are fortunate enough to have the rich heritage that is Cadillace The name Cadiflac is appropriately that o Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac, the French military f commander who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.

[. . . ] 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. 0 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 havea "running start" that more than makes up for the distance wouldlose by dropping back. you And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass, you need only slow down and dropback again and wait for anotheropportunity. But up take carethat someone isn't trying to pass you as you pull out topass the slow vehicle. 0 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 the passed vehicle to see its front your of in inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from you than it really is. ) 191 0 Try not to pass more than onevehicle at a time on two-lane roads. Even though the brake lights are notflashing, it may be slowing down startingto or turn. If you're being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get to ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease a little the right. LOSS OF CONTROL Let's reviewwhat driving experts say about what happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don't haveenough the friction where the tires meet road to do what the driver has asked. Keep trying to steerand constantly seek an escape route or area less danger. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable caresuited to existing conditions, and by not "overdriving" those conditions. The threetypes of skids correspond toyour Cadillac's three control systems. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the accelerationskid too much throttle causes the driving wheelsto spin. A cornering skid and anacceleration skid are best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal. If your vehiclestarts to slide (as when you turn a corner ona wet, snowor ice-covered road), easeyour foot off the acceleratorpedal as soon as you feel the vehicle start toslide. If you start steeringquickly enough, your vehiclewill straighten out. As it does, straighten the front wheels. Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety, you'llwant to slow down and adjust your drivingto these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery 192 surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited.
