In addition, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object such as a parked car which will move and deform on impact.
Page 48 after an air bag inflation? What will you After the air bag has inflated, it will then quickly deflate. This occurs so quickly that some people may not even realize that the air bag inflated. The air bag will impede the driver’s vision or ability to steer the vehicle, nor will it hinder the occupants from exiting the vehicle.

Many city roads and expressways, and even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic control during rush hours. A red X light above a lane means no driving in that lane at that time. that lane. Look for the signs posted to warn drivers what hours and days these systems are in effect.
Page 188 D E F E N S m D m N G 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 anything.”...

Page 190 According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drinks if each had 1-1/2 ounces or vodka.
Page 191 -------la BODY WEIGHT IN POUNDS The law in most US. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In Canada the limit is 0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower than that. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in one hour).
Page 192 person with a higher BAC might not be able to react quickly enough to avoid the collision. There’s something else about drinking and driving that many people don’t know. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries worse. That’s especially true for brain, spinal cord and heart injuries.

Page 197: Disc Brake Wear Indicators
Disc Brake Wear Indicators Your Cadillac has four-wheel disc brakes. Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed.
Page 198 Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with your brakes. Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets. Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel.
Page 199: Steering In Emergencies
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned happen on curves. Here’s why: Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The traction of the tires against the road surface makes it possible for the front wheels.
Page 200 That’s the time for evasive action Your Cadillac can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your brakes. It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space available.
Page 201 If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. You can turn the steering wheel up to contacts the pavement edge.
Page 202 lane as oncoming traffic for several seconds. A miscalculation, an error in judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or anger can suddenly put the passing driver face to face with the worst of all traffic accidents head-on collision. So here are some tips for passing: “Drive ahead.”...
Page 203: Loss Of Control
“overdriving” those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to your Cadillac’s three control systems. In the braking skid your wheels aren’t rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force.
Page 204 Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material on the road. For safety, you’ll want your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited.
Page 205: Night Vision
Don’t drink and drive. (See “Drunken Driving” in the Index on this problem.) Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlights you. behind Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles.

Page 208 Driving too fast throl Igh large water puddles or even going through some car washes can cause problems, too. The water may affect your brakes. Try to avoid puddles. But if you can’t, try to slow down before you hit them.

Page 218 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 more enjoyable. Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and transaxle. These parts can work hard on mountain roads.
Page 219: Parking On Hills
It takes longer to pass another vehicle when you're going uphill. You'll want to leave extra room to pass. If a vehicle is passing you and doesn't have enough room, slow down to make it easier for the other vehicle to get by. As you go over the top of a hill, be alert.

Include an scraper, washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel, a flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple you will be driving under severe conditions, include piece of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Be sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle.
Page 224 ---- What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about freezing (32°F;...

LITER ENGINE The 4.9 Liter transverse engine is an overhead valve, 90 degree V-8 design. The cylinder bore diameter and the piston stroke provide a piston displacement of liters (300 cubic inches). This engine utilizes an aluminum crankcase with a separate aluminum lifter carrier and removable cast iron cylinder liners.
Page 353 The cast aluminum pistons use two compression rings and one oil control ring. The pistons are tin plated to provide a non-scuffing surface when the engine is new. A steel camshaft is supported by five steel backed babbit bearings. It is driven by the crankshaft through a chain at the front of the engine.

Communication between the engine and transaxle through this computer controls engine output during activation of torque management or traction control.
Page 355 The Hydra-matic 4T60-E 4-speed overdrive, electronic transaxle consists primarily of a five element torque converter; two planetary gear sets, various clutches, final drive assembly, differential assembly, and valve body. The torque converter houses a pump, turbine, pressure plate which is splined to the turbine, and a stator assembly, serving as a fluid coupling, it smoothly transmits power from the engine to the transaxle.

A computer receives inputs from vertical acceleration sensors, wheel body position sensors, vehicle speed sensor, lift and dive signals. This computer evaluates the inputs from these sensors, of each of the struts and shocks independently suspension control.
