SECTION 3
COMFORT CONTROLS AND AUDIO SYSTEMS
In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort control systems
and audio systems offered with your Cadillac.
YOUR CXLIILUCAIR SYSTEM
This part tells you how to make your Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
work for you.
Outside Air
Outside air always flows through your Cadillac when the car is moving.
Even
if the car is not moving, you can always get outside air to flow
through by selecting any air choice (except the rear window defogger).
The Electronic Climate Control System may automatically recirculate the
inside air
of your vehicle, to provide maximum air conditioning. During
recirculation, a louder blower noise may be heard until the system returns
to outside air.
Air Outlets
The air outlets are
located
in the center
and each side of the
instrument panel. You
can adjust
the direction
of air flow by moving
the control levers. The
lever at the bottom of
the air outlet opens
or
stops the air flow from
that outlet.

ELECTRONIC CLIMTE CONTROL
With this system you can control the ventilation, heating and air
conditioning in your vehicle automatically by setting the desired
temperature. The digital screen displays the outside temperature, the
I
inside temperature setting, fan speed, and the ECC selection you have
selected.
OUT TEMP (Outside Temperature)
Push this to get the outside temperature. Push it again to return to the
regular system display.
TEMP (Inside Temperature)
Sets the interior temperature you want. Press the lower portion (blue
arrow) to lower the inside temperature setting. Press the upper portion
(red arrow) to raise the temperature setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system will automatically maintain the set temperature.
You can change the temperature from 65 F (18 C) to 85 F (29 " C), one
degree at a time. You may also choose
60 " F (16 " C), for maximum
cooling, and 90°F
(33 "C), for maximum heating, the fan will stay on high
speed unless you select a different speed.
In maximum heating most of
the air will
flow out the heater ducts. In maximum cooling, the system will
recirculate the air inside your vehicle instead of pulling air from outside.
147
I
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
148

c air conditioning system. The flashing will continue for about two minutes.
It means you should have your system serviced.
DeJi-oster
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 or
snowy conditions.
To get fog or ice off the
windshield, push the
~ Defroster button.
The fan speed will work automatically or you can choose another fan
speed if you want.
It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).

I NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads coula result in
I
costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with your brakes.
Your rear drum brakes don't have wear indicators, but if you ever hear a
rear brake rubbing noise, have the rear brake linings inspected.
Also, the
rear brake drums should be removed and inspected each time the tires
are removed for rotation or changing. When you have the front brakes
replaced, have the rear brakes inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or
if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign of brake
trouble.
I
I
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a moderate brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for
wear.
If you rarely make a moderate or heavier stop, then your brakes
might not adjust correctly.
If you drive in that way, then -- very carefully --
make a few moderate brake stops about every 1000 miles (1600 km), so
your brakes will adjust properly.
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal, your rear drum
brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them by backing up and firmly
applying the brakes a
few times.

NOTICE:
If your engine catches fire because you keep driving with no
coolant, your vehicle can be badly damaged. The costly repairs \
would not be covered by your warranty.
IfNo Steam Is Coming From Your Engine
If you get the overheat warning but see or hear no steam, the problem
may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot
when you:
0 Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
0 Idle for long periods in traffic.
Tow a trailer.

If you get the overheat warning with no sign of steam, try this for a
minute or

window
as necessary.
If you no longer have the overheat warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,
drive slower
for about ten minutes. If the warning doesn’t come back on,
you can drive normally.
If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park your vehicle right
away.
If there’s still no sign of steam, you can idle the engine for two or three
minutes while you’re parked, to see if the warning stops. But then, if you
still have the warning, TURN
OFF THE ENGINE AND GET
EVERYONE OUT OF THE VEHICLE until it cools down.
You may decide not to lift the hood but to get service help right away.

You should ask your service station operators if their gasolines contain
deposit control additives and oxygenates, and if they have been
reformulated to reduce vehicle emissions.
FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTHES
If you plan on driving in another country outside the U.S. or Canada,
unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do not use leaded gasoline. If you use
even one tankful, your emission controls won’t work well or at all. With
continuous use, spark plugs can get fouled, the exhaust system can
corrode, and your engine oil can deteriorate quickly. Your vehicle’s
oxygen sensor will be damaged. All
of that means costly repairs that
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or contact a major oil
company that does business
in the country where you’ll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address for advice. Just tell us
where you’re going and give your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

FUEL ECONOMY
Your fuel economy (miles per gallon or liters per 100 kilometers) can vary
depending on how your Cadillac
is driven. Several vehicles like yours
have been driven through a standard test and their actual fuel economy
was recorded. These readings were adjusted and printed on the fuel
economy window sticker which was attached to your new Cadillac when
it
was delivered and in the Gas Mileage Guide which is available from your
dealership.
The fuel economy estimates are based on results of tests required by the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tests are used to
certify that vehicles meet the Federal emissions and fuel economy
standards. Cadillac tests prototypes of new vehicles and submits the
results to the EPA. The EPA then confirms the accuracy of the figures
provided by Cadillac. The vehicles are driven
by a professional driver
under controlled laboratory conditions, on an instrument similar to a
