all the displays
will come back on.

Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in one of your
vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first sold
in Canada or are export
vehicles
will have a number after each message. This number helps to
identify that message, which is only displayed in English.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
This message will appear if your vehicle is in “P” (Park) for about 5
seconds and the brake is not depressed. If you do not want this message
to appear, you can cancel this message by pressing the
OFF and the Blue
(cooler) button
on the Electronic Climate control panel. Push the same 2
buttons again to have this message displayed again.
If the refrigerant system ever reaches an over-pressure condition, this
message will appear to tell you that the air conditioning compressor has
been turned off. Air conditioned air
will not be delivered to cool your
vehicle. If the pressure returns to a normal operating range, you must
select “AUTO”, “DEFOG”
, or Defrost to start the compressor. If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired as soon as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
A/C OVERHEATED - A/C COMPRESSOR OFF
BATTERY NO CHARGE
This message will appear if your battery is not being charged. Have your
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest

This message will appear when your fuel supply is less than 4 gallons and
your display
is turned off.
CHECK OIL LEVEL (Northstar Only)
This message will appear when your engine oil is approximately a quart
low. If this message is displayed, check the
oil and add as needed.
CHANGE OIL SOON
This message will appear when your engine oil is less than 10 percent or
the mileage since
the last oil change is more than 6750 miles.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed immediately. See engine oil and filter recommendations
in the
Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change, the Oil Life Index must be
reset. See “Oil Life Indicator”
in the index on how to reset it.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT IDLE ENGINE
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
126°C (248°F). To avoid added strain on a hot engine, turn off your
Climate Control system and stop and allow your vehicle to idle until
it
cools down or the message is removed. If it does not cool down, turn off
your engine and have it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine
damage can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
ENGINE HOT - A/C COMPRESSOR OFF
This message will appear when the Climate Control is in “Auto” or
Defrost and the engine coolant is hotter than
the normal operating
temperature. To avoid added strain on a hot engine the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned
off. When that happens, air
conditioned air
is not delivered. If the coolant temperature returns to
normal, you must select
“AUTO”, “DEFOG” or Defrost to return to a
normal A/C compressor operation.
FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW
This message serves as a warning that the fuel level in your tank is
critically low. It means you shwld stop for fuel immediately.

displayed if a problem is noted in the Traction Control System. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
TRANS FLUID RESET (Northstar Only)

OFF and REAR DEFOG buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET
message appears in the Information Center (between S and 20 seconds).
This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile that you have your
turn signal on.
TRUNK OPEN

VERY LOW REFRIGERANT
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the
NC
compressor. To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns
off and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from
“AUTO” to
“ECON” and remain there. Have vour A/C system serviced if
this message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount of steering effort is greatly increased to provide
a manual like
steering feel for maximum control and enhanced vehicle stability\

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
Your vehicle has strategicaly placed electronic sensors, that feed
information to the vehicle’s computer systems. Your vehicle can control
the ventilation, heating, and air conditioning automatically year round.
The outside temperature, inside temperature setting, fan speeds, and the
ECC selection are displayed on a digital screen. I
OFF: Nothing is on, but air will flow through your vehicle if you’re
moving. The system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature,
but it might not
be able to maintain it if it’s hot, or cold, outside.
“OUTSIDE” Temperature: The outside temperature is always displayed
when your vehicle is running. You can change it from Celsius
to
Fahrenheit by pushing the ENG/MET(English/Metric) button.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature
To select the
temperature you want,
push the blue button
for a cooler setting and
the red button for a
warmer setting. The
temperature setting
will be displayed on
the digital screen.
You can select temperatures from 65OF (18OC) to
85°F (69OC). And, at
each end, you may choose 60"
F (16OC), for maximum cooling, and 90°F
(33OC), for maximum heating.We recommend when first getting familiar
with your vehicle, select 75OF (24OC). You may find that your own
personal comfort requires a slightly higher or lower setting. Once you set
the temperature, the system
will automatically maintain the set
temperature.
ECON
With this setting it's all automatic, but the air conditioning compressor \
does not operate and it won't remove
humidity from the air. However,
the system
will try to keep the air at the selected temperature. Use this
setting
in cold or cool weather to save fuel.
If it's warm outside and you need to cool the air, use the next choice.
AUTO
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor runs and it's all
automatic. In cold weather when the system senses the need for\
heat, the
air flow
will be directed out the floor ducts. As the interior temperature
approaches the desired setting, the blower speed
will decrease and the air
flow could be directed through the defroster and floor ducts.
To maintain
interior comfort, the air flow may move to the air outlets and floor ducts
(Bi-level). On bright sunny days in cold weather, the air flow could even
come out the A/C outlets to maintain comfort.
