up (right turn) until it clicks into position
to continuously flash the appropriate
parking light, tail light, and instrument
cluster turn indicator light.
After the steering wheel has been turned a
sufficient amount, returning the wheel to the
straight-ahead position automatically cancels
turn signal operation. The signal may also be
cancelled manually by moving the lever to the
center, or off, position.
• Changing Lanes—move the turn signal
lever in the desired direction far enough
to meet resistance to movement without
clicking into position. Hold the lever in
this position to flash the turn signal lamps
as long as necessary.
Hazard Warning Flasher
NOTE: For operation of HAZARD FLASHER,
refer to Section 3 "In Case of Emergency."
Cornering Lights
Cadillac front fender cornering lights oper¬
ate in conjunction with the turn signals. When
the turn signal is operating in either direction,
and the headlights or parking lights are on, the
corresponding cornering light emits a steady
sideward beam to provide additional illumina¬
tion.
Back-Up Lights
The back-up lights provide lighting toward
the rear of the car when the ignition switch is
in the "RUN" position and the transmission
selector lever is placed in "R" reverse posi¬
tion.
Power Steering
An engine driven hydraulic pump provides
steering assist during all driving manuevers
while the engine is running resulting in low
effort steering in all normal driving situations.
However, steering effort may increase during
parking with the brakes applied. This condi¬
tion can normally be corrected by reducing
brake pedal force sufficiently to allow the
wheels to roll slightly while turning the steer¬
ing wheel.
If the steering system power assist fails due
to some malfunction, or because the engine
has stalled, the car can still be steered. How¬
ever, much greater effort is required particu¬
larly in sharp turns.
