Driving At Night - Cadillac 2006 Escalade Owner's Manual

After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has collected on the
underbody, chassis, or under the hood. These
accumulations can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the brake linings
cleaned and checked. These substances can cause
glazing and uneven braking. Check the body structure,
steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust
system for damage. Also, check the fuel lines and
cooling system for any leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent service due to
off-road use. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
for additional information.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to be
impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
•
Drive defensively.
•
Do not drink and drive.
•
Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare
from headlamps behind you.
•
Since you cannot see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you
and other vehicles.
•
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
vehicle's headlamps can light up only so much road
ahead.
•
In remote areas, watch for animals.
•
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
