This option allows you
to open up to three
garage doors. The transmitter unit fits the
overhead panel.
Your Cadillac dealer can tell you about the hand held power pack unit
and the installation you’ll need at home to make this work.
If your
CadilIac
is equipped with an Electriclear” heated windshield, you’ll have
to be closer to the garage door for the transmitter unit
to work.
FLOOR MATS
If your Cadillac is equipped with rubber-backed front and rear floor mats,
keep them clean by vacuuming and using a spot cleaner,
if necessary. Do
not machine wash.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (4.4L
NORTHSTAR)
Your traction control system operates only when the system senses that
one or both of the front wheels
is spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The
traction control system works at all speeds.
It limits wheel spin by using
the antilock and brake systems to apply the front brakes and by shutting
off
fuel injectors to reduce engine torque.
You may be able to spin the tires when accelerating from a standstill on
dry pavement. This is normal. The “TRACTION ACTIVE” message will

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
=
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay
on for several seconds or so. That's normal. If the light doesn't come
on, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on or comes on when you're driving, stop as soon
as
possible and turn the key off. Then start the engine to reset the system. If
the light still stays on, or comes on again while you're driving, your
Cadillac needs service. -Unless the regular brake system warning light is
also on,
you will still have brakes, but not anti-lock brakes. If the regular
brake system warning light is also on, see "Brake System Warning Light"
earlier in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come
on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire.

3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. Try not to use other electrical equipment while the system is working.
The system will
go off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system will only cycle for two minutes. 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.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield. 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.)
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco’ 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

how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most

of the advanced engineering that went into it.

Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should
be stored
in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette to see
if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has
no improvement in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Clean your tape player with a wiping-action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, and follow the directions provided with it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.
