Instrument Panel - Cadillac 1975 Owner's Manual

When parking on hills—it is advisable to
turn the wheels toward the curb, lock the drive
wheels by placing the transmission selector in
"PARK" position and place the parking brake
in its fully depressed position. Also, when
leaving the car unattended, always place the
selector lever in "PARK" position and fully
apply the parking brake.
Track Master Computer
Controlled Rear Wheel
Braking System
In cars equipped with Cadillac's Track Mas¬
ter System (identified on brake pedal) normal
braking procedures should be followed. Addi¬
tionally, drivers should be aware that when
the ignition switch is turned to "start", the
Track Master system cycles one time causing a
"thumping" sound. During maximum brak¬
ing, a pulsing sensation may be experienced
on some road surfaces. This sensation is due to
the normal operation of the Track Master Sys¬
tem functioning to prevent sustained rear
wheel lock-up.
Track Master is designed to improve vehicle
controllability during maximum braking and
will also provide improvement in vehicle
stopping capability under many road condi¬
tions.
REMINDER: Drivers should remember that
the Track Master System controls only the
rear wheels, and that during maximum brak¬
ing front wheel lock-up could still occur, just
as it might with any car. Since front wheel
lock-up causes loss of steering capability, the
brakes should be "pumped" in those cases
where steering control is more important
than the shortest stop.
As with regular brakes, if the brake system
warning light glows red, it indicates there is a
malfunction in some portion of the brake sys¬
tem (see "BRAKES" warning light information
under "Instrument Panel").
