1993 CADILLAC SEVILLE windshield wipers

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine
is off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it was
before you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.“ Use ”Off” if WLI
must have your car in motion while the engine is off (for cu:rnlplc*. if >.our
car is being pushed).
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Imk” rrnd you cdl turn it, be sure
it is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
fight while you turn the key hard, But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a toooil to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch, If none .of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) shows
the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps
to start the
engine.
Move your shift lever to
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
“N” (Neutral) only.

The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from
only a few seconds to 90 seconds.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and tail lamps) 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 lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you
operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that
headlamps be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers.
In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps,
especially at dawn or dusk.
It is recommended that you check with your
own State or Provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a few seconds. That is
normal. This is to expel hot air in the air ducts.
As the air is cooled, the
flow will move through the A/C outlets.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turned on, at any setting other
than Defroster, DEFOG or
OFF a small amount of air will flow through
the defroster duct preventing your windshield from fogging.
Automatic Defog
When using your wipers or rear window defogger for several minutes, the
system senses that a humid condition exists. When this happens, air flow
will be directed to the windshield and floor ducts to keep your side glass
and windshield clear.
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
There may be times, when you don’t want air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside only, just set the temperature to 60°F
(16°C) and adjust your fan speed.
DEFOG
Push this button to divide the air between the windshield and the heater
ducts. This is useful when fog appears
on the windshield or side glass due
to a sudden
rain.

dirt. Slow down carefully.
Tips on Driving in Fog
If you get caught in fog, turn your headlights on low beam, even in
daytime. You’ll
see -- and be seen -- better. Use your fog lights if your
vehicle has them.
Don’t use your high beams. The light will bounce
off the water droplets
that make up fog and reflect back at you.
Use your defogger. In high humidity, even a light buildup of moisture
on
the inside of the glass will cut down on your already limited visibility. Run
your windshield wipers and washer occasionally. Moisture can build up
on the outside glass, and what seems
to be fog may actually be moisture
on the outside of your windshield.
Treat dense fog as an emergency.
Try to find a place to pull off the road.
Of course you want to respect another’s property, but you might need to
put something between
you and moving vehicles -- space, trees, telephone
poles,
a private driveway, anything that removes you from other traffic.
If visibility is near zero and you must stop but are unsure whether you are
away from the road, turn your lights on, start your hazard warning flasher,
and sound your horn at intervals or when you hear approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog
only if you can see far enough ahead to pass
safely. Even then, be prepared to delay your pass
if you suspect the fog is
worse up ahead.
If other vehicles try to pass you, make it easy for them.
