firmly pull the restraint forward again until it releases to the
full-rearward position.
Now slowly move the restraint forward until
you reach a comfortable position.
You should hear a clicking sound as 1

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.

ENGINE COOLANT HEATER
(ENGINE BLOCK HEATER) (OPTION)
(CANADA ONLY)
In very cold weather, 0°F (-18O C) or colder, the engine coolant heater
can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.
NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord as
it
was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you
don’t, it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer
depends on the weather, the kind
of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact a Cadillac
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can
give you the best advice
for that particular area.

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.

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

It means you should have your system serviced.

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).

To turn it off, push the button again. After 10 minutes, it will go off by
itself.
To make it go longer, just push the button again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heater. Your warranty would not cover this damage. And
don’t put decals there; you might have to scrape them
off.
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. 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.
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:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

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.

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.

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.
