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.

Here’s how your light systems work:

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.

4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
Find the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each battery.
5. Check that the jumper cables don't have loose or missing insulation. If
they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some basic things you should
know. Positive
(+) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don't connect (+) to (-) or you'll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.

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:

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.
