1994 CADILLAC DEVILLE Ant

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Delco@ system can
do and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most
out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.
FM Stereo
-
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come and go.
AM
.-.
The range for most AMstations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines. Try reducing the treble
to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
This means your radio can produce quality
AM sound comparable to FM
stereo. AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition
to improved sound quality, AMAX@

your radio because AMAX@ is automatic.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
although some
do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of
Motorola, Inc.) If your Delco’ system can get C-QUAM@, your “ST”
stereo light will come on when you’re receiving it.
Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0 Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to do
it properly Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation
of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.

The Lower Knob
Turn the lower knob to choose radio stations. Push the knob to switch
from
AM or FM.
Behind the lower knob is the Fade control. It fades the sound between
the front and rear speakers.
SCAN
When you press the SCAN button, the SCAN indicator in the display will
light and the radio will find the next station and stay there about
5
seconds. Then it will go to the next station and pause, and keep doing
that until
you push either the SCAN or upper knob.
SEEK
This button selects stations, but it doesn’t keep moving as SCAN does.
When
you push SEEK the radio will automatically go to the next
strongest station and stay there.
AM-ST (AM Stereo)
Pressing the AM-ST button enables the AM stereo reproduction of an
AM station that is broadcasting in stereo. Switching to stereo on weaker
non
AM stereo stations improves fidelity, but may increase noise due to
interference from power lines, neon signs, atmosphere conditions, and
unwanted stations. The STEREO indicator light
only comes on when the
radio is tuned to a clear, noise free station broadcasting
C-QUAM@ AM
stereo.
Pushbuttons
You can set the pushbuttons to get up to 14 favorite stations (seven on
FM and seven more on AM). Just:
Choose either AM or FM.
Tune in the station.
Push the SET button.
Within 5 seconds, push one of the four pushbuttons.
Repeat these steps for each of the 5 pushbuttons.

-. Five Band Graphic Equalizer
The equalizer lets you set the bass, midrange and treble to sound just the
way you want. The
60 and 250 controls work the bass side. The midrange
is the 1K The 3.3K and 10K are the treble sound controls.
We suggest that
you start with the midrange (1K) control lever in the
center. Then move the other controls until you get the sound you want.
Moving the control levers up
(+) gives your more sound in that range.
Moving it down
(-) gives you less.
If
the 10 K control lever is near the top, you may hear a hissing sound. To
eliminate it, move the 10K control lever down until the hiss goes away.
Your Cassette Tape Player
Your cassette tape player works best with tapes that are 30 to 45 minutes
long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin that they may not
work well in this player.
If you look at the tape, or on its label or box, it should say whether its bias,
“equalization” is
70 microseconds (70 p) or 120 microseconds (120 p).
Chrome and metal tapes are 70 p sec and standard iron tapes are 120 p sec.
Your tape player
will adjust automatically for either type of cassette tape.
Setting The Clock On The AM FM ETR Sound System
Push SET and within 5 seconds,
Press and hold SCAN until the correct hour appears.
0 Then press and hold SEEK until the correct minute appears. Your
clock is set.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 after every
50 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.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette. This system uses a cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the
tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is normal for the
cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert the cassette at least
3 times to
ensure thorough cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Cadillac dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner which uses
a cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape head. This type
of cleaning
cassette will
not eject. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.
Cassettes are subject
to wear and the,sound quality and may degrade over
time. Always make sure that the cassette tape is
in good condition before
you have your tape player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other
protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface
of
a disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution and clean it, wiping from the center
to the edge.
Be sure never
to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the
outer edge.

Your power antenna will look its best and work well if it’s cleaned from
time to time.
To Clean the Antenna Mast:
1. .Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna to full mast
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent.
3. Wipe cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt.
4. Wipe dry with clean cloth before retracting.
5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the radio or ignition on
extension.
and off.
6. Then repeat if necessary.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication could damage
it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off your radio to
make the power antenna go down. This
will prevent the mast
from possibly getting damaged.
If the antenna does not go down
when you tum the radio off, it may be damaged or need to be
cleaned. In either case, lower the antenna by hand by carefully
pressing the antenna
down.

I- - c-
Here you’ll find information about driving on different kinds of roads and
in varying weather conditions. We’ve also included many other useful tips
on driving.
DEFENSm DmNG
The best advice anyone can give about driving is: Drive defensively.
Please start with a very important safety device
in your Cadillac: Buckle
up. (See “Safety Belts” in the Index.)
Defensive driving really means “be ready for anything.” On city streets,
rural roads, or freeways, it means “always expect the unexpected.”
Assume that pedestrians or other -drivers are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do. Be ready for their
mistakes.

BODY WEIGHT IN POUNDS HOURS

The
law in most U.S. states sets the legal limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent.
In Canada the limit is
0.08 percent, and in some other countries it’s lower
than that. The BAC will be over
0.10 percent after three to six drinks (in
one hour). Of course, as we’ve seen, it depends on how much alcohol is in
the drinks, and how quickly the person drinks them.
But it’s very important to keep in mind that the ability to drive is affected
well below a BAC
of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills
of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching
0.05 percent, and
that the effects are worse at night. All drivers are impaired at BAC levels
above
0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in an accident
increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC
of 0.05 percent or above. A
driver with a BAC level
of 0.06 percent (three beers in one hour for a
180-pound or
82 kg person) has doubled his or her chance of having an
accident. At a BAC level
of 0.10 percent, the chance of that driver having
an accident is
six times greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chances are
twenty-five times greater! And, the body takes about an hour to rid itself
of the alcohol in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold
showers will speed that
up.
“I’ll be careful” isn’t the right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a
need to take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street? A
