when your cruise
control is set to a
selected speed.

CHECK
Your vehicle could be equipped with either one of these indicators lamps.
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. This light should come on when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is working.
If it does
not come on at all, have it fixed right away.
If it stays on, or it comes on
while you are driving, the computer
is indicating that you have a problem.
You should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while
the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy
won’t be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty.

Pass Key Fault Light
If this light comes on
while driving and stays
on, you will be able
to
restart your vehicle. If
you turn it off, your
vehicle will not be
protected by the
PASS-Key
II@ feature.
Have it serviced by
your Cadillac dealership.
ELECTRONIC LEWL CONTROL
I This keeps your car
level. When the system
is adjusting, the
“LEVEL RIDE” light
will be on.
If the light
comes on and
off while
driving, that’s normal.
The Electronic Level Control (ELC) will operate for several minutes
after you have turned the ignition
off.
If the light stays on for 7 minutes, it warns that your leveling system may
not be working. You should see your dealer for service. You can keep
using your Cadillac, though.

FUEL GAGE
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The 17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
>When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC‘ light will go on.
‘If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the “LOW FUEC’
will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
.these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
>gage-
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/2”, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity
to
fill it.
The gage changes when you turn (or stop, or speed up).

OIL LIFE INDICATOR
Your Cadillac has an Oil Life Indicator feature. This tells you when
you need to change your engine oil. It’s based upon the engine oil
temperatures and your driving patterns.
Your Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter
oil life. Always keep a written
record of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
The system probably will say to change the oil between
3000 miles
(5000 km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it
before
3000 miles under severe conditions. It all depends on your driving
patterns. (If it doesn’t, or if it doesn’t even light up, then something is
wrong. You will need to have it serviced.)
There are
two things the system won’t do: It can’t sense heavy dust in the
places where you drive.
If you drive in a dusty area, you should change
your oil every
3000 miles (5000 km) or 3 months (whichever comes first),
unless the “CHANGE OIC’ light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, turn
the ignition switch to the
“ON” position with the engine stopped. Fully
depress and release the accelerator pedal
3 times within 5 seconds.
If the “CHANGE OIC’ light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.

OFF
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.
I 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.
I
I FAN
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.
If you want the fan to run at a fixed low speed, push the switch until “LO”
is shown on the display.
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 (F’) or Celsius (C”) symbol begins to flash, or flashes
when you turn
on the ignition, it indicates an electrical problem with your
