COMFORT  CONTROLS  AND  AUDIO  SYSTEMS 
In this section  you'll find out how  to operate  the  comfort control systems 
and  audio  systems offered with  your  Cadillac. 
YOUR CIILLACMR SYSTEM 
This  part  tells  you  how  to make  your Electronic  Climate Control (ECC) 
work  for you. 
Outside  Air 
Outside  air  always  flows  through your Cadillac  when  the car is  moving. 
Even  if the  car is not  moving,  you  can always  get  outside  air to flow 
through  by selecting.any  air choice  (except  the  rear window  defogger). 
n '< u1 
The Electronic  Climate Control System  may  automatically  recirculate the 
inside  air 
of your vehicle,  to provide  maximum  air conditioning . During 
recirculation, a  louder blower  noise may be  heard  until the system  returns 
to outside  air. 
_. 
Air Outlets tl 
L t I' 
The  air outlets  are 
located  in the  center 
and  each  side of the 
instrument  panel.  You 
can  adjust  the direction 
of air flow by moving 
the  control  levers. The 
lever  at  the  bottom 
of 
the air outlet  opens  or 
stops  the air flow  from 
that  outlet.

With  this  system  you  can  control the ventilation,  heating  and  air 
conditioning  in your  vehicle  automatically  by setting  the desired 
temperature.  The  digital screen  displays  the outside  temperature,  the 
inside  temperature  setting,  fan  speed,  and  the  ECC selection you have 
selected. 
OUT  TEMP  (Outside  Temperature) 
Push this to get  the  outside  temperature.  Push it again  to  return  to  the 
regular  system  display. 
TEMP (Inside  Temperature) 
Sets the interior  temperature you want. Press  the lower  portion  (blue 
arrow)  to lower  the inside  temperature  setting. Press  the  upper portion 
(red  arrow)  to raise  the  temperature  setting. Once you set the 
temperature,  the  system  will automatically maintain  the set  temperature. 
You  can  change  the  temperature  from 
65 " F (18 " C) to 85 " F (29' C), one 
degree  at  a time. You  may  also choose 
60 " F (16 " C), for maximum 
cooling,  and 
90°F (33" C),  for maximum  heating, the  fan will  stay  on high 
the  air will  flow  out  the  heater  ducts. In maximum  cooling,  the system  will 
recirculate  the air inside your  vehicle instead 
of pulling air from  outside.

Nothing is on, but air will  flow  through your Cadillac  if the  the  car  is 
moving.  The air flow  will  be felt  through  the  heater  ducts. 
ECON 
Use this in  cold  or cool  weather  to save  fuel.  It won’t  cool or remove 
humidity  from the air. However,  the system  will  try  to  keep  the air at  the 
chosen  temperature. 
If  it’s 
so warm outside  that you need  to cool  the air, use  the next  choice. 
AUTO 
With  this setting  the system  automatically  controls the  temperature,  air 
distribution  and fan speeds. 
In cold  conditions  the  the fan well  not come 
on  until  the system  senses that  the  engine has  started  to warm up. This 
prevents  cold air  from  blowing on you  and your  occupants.

The  fan  speed  is controlled automatically if you  have  the  Electronic 
Climate  Control  set  on  “AUTO.” However,  if you  want  the fan  to  run  at  a 
- 
lower  speed,  push the lower  portion of the fan  switch. 
If you  want  the blower  to run  at a fixed  higher  speed, push the  upper 
portion  of the  fan switch  until you see “HI” 
on the display. P- 
If you  want  the fan  to run  at a fixed low speed,  push the switch  until“L0” 
is  shown  on the  display. L, 
If you want  the fan  speed to  be  automatic  but  you like the fan  to  be 
higher  or lower  than  the  “AUTO”  settings, just push  the switch  until 
either“ 
HI AUTO”  or  “AUTO LO” is  displayed. 
If  the  Fahrenheit

It  means  you should  have your  system  serviced. 
Defroster 
To get fog  or ice off the 
windshield,  push 
the 
Defroster  button. 
The  fan  speed 
will work automatically or you can  choose  another  fan 
speed 
if you want. 
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).

Continuing to  drive  with  worn-out  brake  pads  could result in 
costly  brake  repair. 
- 
Some driving  conditions  or climates  may cause  a  brake  squeal  when the 
brakes  are first applied  or lightly  applied. This  does  not  mean  something 
is  wrong  with your  brakes. 
Rear  Drum  Brakes 
F 
c I 
Your rear  drum  brakes don’t  have wear indicators,  but if you  ever  hear  a 
rear  brake  rubbing noise, have  the  rear  brake linings inspected. 
Also, the 
rear  brake  drums  should be removed  and inspected  each  time  the  tires 
are  removed  for  rotation  or changing.  When you  have  the  front  brakes 
replaced,  have the  rear  brakes  inspected, 
too. 
11 
Brake linings  should  always be replaced  as  complete axle sets. 
Brake  Pedal  Travel 
See your  dealer  if the  brake  pedal  does  not  return  to normal  height, or if c r 
there  is a rapid increase  in pedal  travel. This could  be  a sign of brake 
trouble. 
Brake  Adjustment 
Every time you make  a  moderate  brake  stop,  your disc brakes adjust for 
wear. 
If  you  rarely make  a moderate  or  heavier stop,  then  your brakes  might 
not  adjust  correctly. If you  drive  in that  way,  then 
-- very  carefully -- make 
a  few  moderate  brake  stops  about  every 
1000 miles (1600 km), so your -i 
brakes will adjust properly. 
, 
-1 
If your  brake  pedal  goes down  farther  than  normal, your  rear  drum 
brakes  may need  adjustment.  Adjust them 
by backing  up  and firmly 
applying  the brakes  a few  times.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wheel Replacement 
Replace any wheel  that is bent,  cracked  or badly  rusted.  If wheel  nuts 
keep  coming loose,  the wheel, wheel bolts,  and wheel  nuts  should  be 
replaced. 
If the  wheel leaks air  out, replace  it (except  some aluminum 
wheels,  which  can sometimes  be  repaired).  See  your Cadillac dealer if any 
of these  conditions  exist. 
Your  dealer  will  know  the kind 
of wheel  you need. 
Each  new wheel should have  the same  load carrying  capacity,  diameter, 
width, offset,  and  be  mounted  the  same  way as the  one  it replaces. 
If you need  to  replace any of your wheels,  wheel bolts,  or wheel nuts, 
replace  them 
only with  new GM original  equipment  parts.  This way,  you 
will  be  sure  to have  the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel  nuts  for your 
Cadillac model. 
I 
A CAUTION: 
Using  the wrong  replacement  wheels,  wheel  bolts, or wheel  nuts 
on  your  vehicle can be dangerous.  It could affect  the  braking 
and  handling 
of your  vehicle,  make  your  tires lose air and make 
you  lose control.  You could  have a collision  in which  you  or 
others  could be injured.  Always use  the  correct  wheel,  wheel 
1 bolts, and wheel  nuts for replacement.
