The exit speed

usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not

slower than you actually are.

Make sure you’re ready. Try to
be
well rested. If you
must start when you’re not fresh
--
such as after a day’s
work
--
don’t plan
to
make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep
it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to
go.
If
it
needs
service, have
it
done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service experts
in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll
be ready and willing to help if you need it.
