Page 131 It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll. Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
Page 132 In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart when you are already moving, use N (Neutral) only. Also, use N (Neutral) when the vehicle is being towed. Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous.
Page 133: Parking Brake
This position is also used for normal driving. However, it reduces vehicle speed more than D (Drive) without using the brakes. You might choose 3 (Third) instead of D (Drive) when driving on hilly, winding roads, when towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears and when going down a steep hill.
Page 134 A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on, and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). The brake light will come on and stay on until the parking brake is released. See Brake System Warning Light on page 4 50 for more information.
Page 135 4. Turn the ignition key to LOCK/OFF. 5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can leave the vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, the vehicle is in P (Park). If the vehicle is equipped with a console shift lever, use this procedure to shift the vehicle into P (Park): 1.
Page 136: Shifting Into Park
Torque lock is when the weight of the vehicle puts too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission. This happens when parking on a hill and shifting the transmission into P (Park) is not done properly and then it is difficult to shift out of P (Park).
Page 137: Engine Exhaust
Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn. Engine exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and even death.
Page 138 It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with poor ventilation is dangerous. Engine exhaust may enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled.

Page 181 There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (one second to two seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a selected follow distance will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed the further back your vehicle will follow.
Page 182 The vehicle ahead symbol is located on the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. The vehicle ahead symbol only appears when a vehicle is detected in your path. If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly, ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.
Page 183 Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes lanes. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes.
Page 184 Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations in curves, it may respond to a vehicle in another lane, or may not have time to react to a vehicle in your lane. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose control of your vehicle. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to use the brakes if necessary.
Page 185 ACC may detect a vehicle that is not in your lane and apply the brakes. ACC may, occasionally, provide a driver alert and/or braking that you consider unnecessary. It could respond to signs, guardrails, and other stationary objects when entering or exiting a curve. This is normal operation. Your vehicle does not need service.
Page 186 How well ACC will work on hills and when towing a trailer depends on your vehicle's speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the steepness of the hills. It may not detect a vehicle in your lane while driving on hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle's speed.

Page 279 Defensive Driving ....... 5-2 Drunk Driving ........5-2 Control of a Vehicle .
Page 280 Defensive driving means always expect the unexpected. The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 11. Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes.
Page 281 For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive.
Page 282 Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts, heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking, rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. The brakes might not have time to cool between hard stops. The brakes will wear out much faster with a lot of heavy braking.
Page 283 ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as required, faster than any driver could. This can help the driver steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As the brakes are applied, the computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
Page 284 The vehicle may have the StabiliTrak system which combines antilock brake, traction and stability control systems and helps the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions. This is accomplished by selectively applying any one of the vehicle's brakes and reducing engine power.
Page 285 The TCS and StabiliTrak light will flash when the system is limiting wheel spin. The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal. See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 4 51 for more information. If the vehicle is in cruise control when TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage.
Page 286 Adding non dealer accessories can affect the vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6 3 for more information. The vehicle may have Magnetic Ride Control that automatically adjusts the ride of the vehicle. The controller receives input from the system to determine the proper ride.
Page 287 There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you.
Page 288 The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. 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 the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
Page 289 In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems.
Page 290 Night driving is more dangerous than day driving because some drivers are likely to be impaired alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Night driving tips include: Drive defensively. Do not drink and drive. Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside rearview mirror.
Page 291 Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under your vehicle's tires so they actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. There is no hard and fast rule about hydroplaning.
Page 292 Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings while driving. If you become tired or sleepy, find a safe place to park your vehicle and rest. Other driving tips include: Keep the vehicle well ventilated. Keep interior temperature cool. Keep your eyes moving scan the road ahead and to the sides.
Page 293 Stay in your own lane. Do not swing wide or cut across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let you stay in your own lane. Top of hills: Be alert something could be in your lane (stalled car, accident). Pay attention to special road signs (falling rocks area, winding roads, long grades, passing or no-passing zones) and take appropriate action.
Page 294 Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby. If possible, use the Roadside Service on page 8 7. To get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers on page 4 3.
Page 295 Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes some time for help to arrive, now and then when you run the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than the idle speed.
Page 296 It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory installed options. Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry, the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification label.
Page 297 The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D). For more information on tires and inflation see Tires on page 6 48 and Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6 57 .
Page 298 Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
Page 299 Vehicle Capacity Weight for Example 2 = Subtract Occupant Weight @ 150 lbs (68 kg) × 5 = Available Cargo Weight = 1,000 lbs (453 kg) 750 lbs (340 kg) 250 lbs (113 kg) Vehicle Capacity 1,000 lbs Weight for (453 kg) Example 3 = Subtract Occupant...
Page 300 Refer to your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information label for specific information about your vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver, passengers, and cargo should never exceed your vehicle's capacity weight. A vehicle specific Certification label is attached to the rear edge of the driver's door.
Page 301 Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on the vehicle can break, and it can change the way the vehicle handles. These could cause you to lose control and crash.
Page 302 This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as the load changes. It is automatic, you do not need to adjust anything. This type of level control is fully automatic and will provide a better leveled riding position as well as better handling under a variety of passenger and loading conditions.
Page 303 Here are some important things to consider before recreational vehicle towing: What's the towing capacity of the towing vehicle? Be sure to read the tow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. How far will the vehicle be towed? Some vehicles have restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.
Page 304 6. Secure the vehicle to the dolly. 7. Release the parking brake. The Cadillac Professional Vehicle cannot tow a trailer. The driver can lose control when pulling a trailer if the correct equipment is not used or the vehicle is not driven properly.
Page 305 The vehicle can tow a trailer if it is equipped with the proper trailer towing equipment. To identify the trailering capacity of the vehicle, read the information in Weight of the Trailer that appears later in this section. Trailering is different than just driving the vehicle by itself.
Page 306 Do not tow a trailer when the outside temperature is above 100°F (38°C). If the vehicle has the Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system and it doesn't seem to be working properly while pulling a trailer, turn the system off. See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on page 3 42 for more information.
Page 307 Using a weight-carrying hitch, the trailer tongue (A) should weigh 10 to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight (B). After loading the trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they are not, adjustments might be made by moving some items around in the trailer.
Page 308 Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not attach them to the bumper. Always leave just enough slack so the rig can turn. Never allow safety chains to drag on the ground. Because the vehicle has StabiliTrak the vehicle's hydraulic brake system.
Page 309 When turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do this so the trailer will not strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance. The arrows on the instrument panel flash whenever signaling a turn or lane change.
Page 310 3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the brake pedal until the chocks absorb the load. 4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into P (Park). 5. Release the brake pedal. 1.
