Competitive Driving

Competitive driving may affect the vehicle warranty.

See the warranty book before using the vehicle

for competitive driving.

Notice: If you use your vehicle for competitive

driving, the engine may use more oil than it would

with normal use. Low oil levels can damage the

engine. Be sure to check the oil level often during

competitive driving and keep the level at or near the

upper mark that shows the proper operating range

on the engine oil dipstick. For information on how

to add oil, see Engine Oil on page 5-18.

CTS-V Only: For competitive driving, it is recommended

that the brake ﬂuid be replaced with a high performance

brake ﬂuid that has a dry boiling point greater than 534°F

(279°C). After conversion to the high performance brake

ﬂuid, follow the brake ﬂuid service recommendations

outlined by the ﬂuid manufacturer. Do not use silicone

or DOT-5 brake ﬂuids.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving

because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by

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.

• Slow down and keep more space between you and

other vehicles because headlamps can only light up

so much road ahead.

• Watch for animals.

• When tired, pull off the road.

• Do not wear sunglasses.

• Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.

• Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle

clean — inside and out.

• Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns or

curves.
