seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up 6r ,down so that the top of the restraint is
closest
to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints tilt forward and rearward also.

It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk Iid open because
carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You can’t
see
or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if electrica1 wiring
or other cable connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the trunk
lid
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest
speed with the setting on between
65 F (18” C) to 85 F
(29O C). That will force outside air into your vehicle. See
“Comfort Controls” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as
soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes
on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service. If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on,
you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. 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. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a full-size
tire.
If the warning light stays on after you replace the compact spare with
a full-size tire, or if it comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
Engine Temperature Warning Light (Canadian Only)
This light tells you that
your engine has
overheated. You should
stop the car and idle the
engine as soon as
possible. A warning
chime should also sound
if this light comes on. As
a check, the light should
come on for a few
seconds when
you start
your engine.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU BADLY!
