The turn signal has
two upward (for Right)
and
two downward
(for Left) positions.
These positions allow
you to signal a turn or
a lane change.
-- To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return automatically.

A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete
your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just
stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.

arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meet all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate
your lower beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be
turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with you own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Headlight High-Low Beam

headlights
from low

Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, shift the transaxle into “P” (Park).

Your Cadillac has a “tamper-resistant odometer.” On the analog
odometer, if
you see silver lines between the numbers, probably someone
has tried to turn it back.
The numbers may not be true. If you have the
optional digital odometer, it will say
ERROR if someone has tampered
with it.
You may wonder what happens
if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. If possible, the new one
has to be set to the same reading the
old one had.
If it can’t be, then it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s
door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.

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.
