2006 Cadillac CTS CTS-V Owners Manual

Driving in Rain and on  Wet Roads
The heavier the rain, the  harder it is to see. Even if your
windshield wiper blades are in  good shape, a heavy
rain can make it harder  to see road signs and
traffic signals, pavement markings, the  edge of the road,
and even people walking.
It is wise to keep  your windshield wiping equipment in
good shape and keep your  windshield washer fluid
reservoir filled with washer fluid.  Replace your
windshield wiper inserts when they  show signs of
streaking or missing areas on  the windshield, or when
strips of rubber start to  separate from the inserts.

CAUTION:
Wet brakes can cause accidents.  They will not
work as well in a  quick stop and may cause
pulling to one side. You  could lose control of
the vehicle.
Rain and wet roads can  mean driving trouble. On a wet
road, you cannot stop, accelerate,  or turn as well
because your tire-to-road traction is  not as good as on
dry roads. And, if your  tires do not have much tread
left, you will get even  less traction. It is always wise to
go slower and be cautious  if rain starts to fall while
you are driving. The surface may get wet suddenly  when
your reflexes are tuned for  driving on dry pavement.
After driving through a large  puddle of water
or a car wash, apply  your brake pedal lightly
until your brakes work normally.
Driving too fast through 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 cannot,  try to slow down before you
hit them.
