firmly pull the restraint forward again until it releases to the

LumbarIHeater Seat Controls (Fleetwood Brougham)
With this feature, you can change the shape of the driver’s or passenger’s
seatback. Adjust the power seat control first to get the proper position.
For the best adjustment, it is recommended that you first start with the
“MIDDLE” lumbar.
MIDDLE (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
middle back.
UPPER (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
upper back.
LOWER (Back
Support): Adjust
support for the
lower back.
Push the switch to either
“HI” or “LO” to turn on the heating element in
the seat.
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 setting selected. A telltale light on 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 is deactivated when the ignition is turned
off.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded,
the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only 2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.

To start vour V8 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
“Start.” When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner.
And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start within 3 seconds, push the accelerator pedal about
one-third of the way down, while you hold the ignition key
in “Start.”
When the engine starts, let go of the
key and let up on the accelerator
pedal. Wait about
15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining
your battery.
When starting your engine in very cold weather (below
O°F or -18 C), do
this:
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to
“Start” and hold it there. After two seconds, push the accelerator
pedal about one-third of the way down. When the engine starts, let go
of the key. Use the accelerator pedal to maintain engine speed, if you
have to, until your engine has run for a while.
2. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your a,ccelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in “Start”
for about three seconds.
If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.

headlight switch.
If the manual light switch is left on (as when someone has parked your
car), you’ll hear a warning tone when you turn
off the ignition and open
the driver’s door.
Retained Accessory Power
When you stop your Cadillac and turn the ignition to “OFF”, you can use
these accessories for
10 more minutes.
Radio
Power windows
Astroroof (If equipped)
Windshield wipers
Trunk release
When you open
a door, everything will go off. And, after 10 minutes
everything will go off also.
If you want power for another 10 minutes, just turn the key to “RUN”
and back to “OFF”.
Power Drain Protection
When the ignition is off and the interior lights or underhood lights are
accidentally left on, they will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes. This
protects you from a possible dead battery.
To turn power back on, lift up
on the outside door handle or turn the ignition to the “RUN” position.

Charge Light
When you turn the key
to “Run” or “Start”,
this light
will come on
briefly, to show that
your alternator and
battery charging
systems are working. n

If a light stays on, you need service, and you should take your Cadillac to
the dealer at once.
To save your battery until you get there, turn off all
accessories, and set your Electronic Climate Control system to
“OFF.”
Low Oil Level Light
If it doesn’t come on, have it repaired. If the light comes on and stays on,
your engine oil level is too low. Check your oil level and add enough oil
to bring the engine oil level
up to the proper level. See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.

Run- your engine only as long as you must. This saves fuel. When you
run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel for the heat that you-get and it
keeps the battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later .on with your headlights. Let
the heater run for awhile.
Then, shut the engine
off and close the window almost all the way to preserve
the heat. Start the engine again and repeat this only when you feel really
uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it aslittle as possible. Preserve the fuel as
long as you can.
To help keep warm, you can get out of the vehicle and do some
fairly vigorous exercises every half hour or so until help comes.
