Mich. ) COPYRIOWT, CADtLLAC MOTOR CARDIVISION THIS TEXT APPEARED AS AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE SATURDAY EVENING POST 7 JANUARY 2ND. Leland, known as the master of precision, initiated his precision manufacturing techniques at the founding of Cadillac in 1902. His exacting standards prompted the motto by which Cadillac has beenguided over the years - "Craftsmanship Club of England awarded the prestigious -1 first in 1908 for achieving perfect interchangeability of parts and again in 1912 for introducing the electric self starter, electric lighting and ignition system. [. . . ] You may hear theanti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel the brakepedal pulsate, butthis is normal. Traction Control System (Option) Your vehicle may have traction controlsystem that limits wheel spin. The system operates of only if it senses that one or both the frontwheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, thesystem worksthe front brakes and reduces engine power (by shutting off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin. The "TRACTION ACTIVE" message will display on theDriver Information Centerwhen the traction controlsystem is limiting wheel spin. You may feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal. If your vehicleis in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, cruise control will automatically disengage. When the road conditionsallow youto safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. (See "Cruise Control"in the Index. ) The "TRACTIONDISABLED" message will display on theDriver Information Centerif there's a problem with yourtraction controlsystem. Adjust your the driving accordingly. 184 Braking in Emergencies Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to. With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same In many emergencies, steering can time. help you more thaneven the very best braking. STEEMNG Power Steering If you lose powersteering assist because the engine stopsor thesystem is not functioning, you can steer butit will take much more effort. Steering Tips Driving on Curves It's important to take curves at a reasonable speed. A lot of the "driverlost control" accidents mentioned on the news happen oncurves. Here's why: Experienced driver or beginner, eachof us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tiresagainst the road surface makes it possible for thevehicle to change its path when you turn the frontwheels. If there's no traction, inertia keep thevehicle going will in the same direction. you've ever tried to steer avehicle on wet ice, If you'll understand this. The tractionyou can getin a curve depends onthe condition of your tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, andyour you speed. Both control systems -- steering and acceleration have to do -their work where the tires meet the road. You can losecontrol. 185 What should you do if this ever happens?Ease up on the accelerator pedal, steer the vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down. Of course, the posted speeds are based on good weather and road conditions. If you need to reduce your speed as you approach acurve, do it before you enter thecurve, while your front wheels are straight ahead. Try to adjustyour speed so you can "drive" through the curve.
