you may choose
60 F (16 ’ C), for maximum cooling, and 90 F (33 ’ C),
for maximum heating.
Then, you have these choices:
Off
Nothing is on, but air will flow rnrough your vehicle if you are moving.
The system will attempt to maintain the chosen temperature, but may
never reach it, because the blower motor will not operate.
Econ
Use “Econ” in cold or cool weather, because it saves fuel by not allowing
the
A/C compressor to run. But it doesn’t remove humidity from the air.
If it’s so warm outside that you need to cool the air, use the next choice. I 1
Auto

will first flow out the floor air ducts for a few seconds. That’s normal.
This
is to prevent a blast of hot air hitting you.
Fan Speeds

blower fan is usually
controlled

have the fan on “Auto

want the blower fan to
run only at high speed,
push the “Hi” button
until you see “Hi Fan”
on the display.
If you want the blower to run only at low speed, push the “Lo7’ button
until you see
“Lo Fan” on the display. If you want the system to be
automatic, but you like the fan speed a little higher than the “Auto Fan”
speed, push the
“LO” or “Hi” button until you see the “Hi Fan Auto Fan”

speed, push the
“Lo” or “Hi” button until you see the “Auto Fan Lo Fan”
on the display.
When first starting your vehicle with a cold engine, the fan speed will
gradually increase as the temperature
of the engine coolant increases.
Defiost
To get fog or ice off the
windshield, push the
Defrost button.
It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield). The fan speed
operation is delayed if the engine is not at its normal operating
temperature.
Heated Windshield (Option)
Front De-Ice
Here’s how to use your heated windshield in cold weather to remove ice
or frost quickly:
1. If any snow is piled up on the windshield, brush it away.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in P (“Park”).

light will come on
to tell you it is
working.
The system will go off after a four minute heating cycle (two minutes if
you shift out
of “P” (Park) within the first two minutes of the cycle). If
you want it to cycle again, push the switch. It will go
on for two minute
cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over,
you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
In warm weather the heated windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s
interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The
system’s solar control properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield will reduce the
useful range of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
Rear Window Defogger
To get fog or ice off the
rear window, push the
Rear Defogger button.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are warmed.
To turn it off, push the button again. After 10 minutes, it will go off by
itself.
To make it go longer, just push the button again.

The Electronic Solar Sensor is part of the Electronic Climate Control
System. It is located on top of your instrument panel speaker grill.
The sensor monitors
the sun's solar
radiation by telling the
Electronic Climate Control system what
angle and the intensity
the sun is at. The
Electronic Climate Control then can
automatically make
the necessary
temperature
adjustments.
AUDIO SYSTEMS
Your Dekoa sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it if
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delcoa system can
do and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the most
out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.

Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt
to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on
your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and
clearly.

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.

The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise
if you ever get it.
This means your radio can produce quality AM sound comparable to FM
stereo. AMAX3 reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality, AMAX8
includes more station on the AM band.
You don’t have to do anything in
your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM8 stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM3 to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark
of Motorola,
Inc.) If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAMa, your “STEREO” light
will come on when you’re receiving it.
