A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a
few seconds. That is
normal. This is to expel hot air in the air ducts.
As the air is cooled, the
flow
will move through the A/C outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on
“HI” it will skip the A/C Purge.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turned on, in either the AUTO or
ECON setting and the fan setting is not on “HI”, a small amount
of air
will flow through
the defroster duct while the system is waiting for the
engine coolant to warm up enough to provide heat. This prevents your
breath from fogging your windshield.
As the coolant warms up, the
blower fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater
outlets, with some air bleed to the windshield to prevent fogging under
most normal conditions.
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
There may be times, when you don’t want air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside only,
just set the temperature to 60°F
(16°C) and adjust your fan speed, if the air quantity is too high.
DEFOG
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.

Push the (symbol)
button until “AUTO” is
displayed on the
screen. At this setting,
the fan speed is
controlled automatically.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan
speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the coolant to
assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the coolant is warm, the
controller will allow the fan to ramp up to a higher speed. This prevents
cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fan to run only at a fixed high speed, push the
(upper) button until you see “HI” on the display.
If you want the fan speed to be automatic, but you like the fan speed to
be higher than the AUTO setting, just push the buttons until “HI/AUTO”
is shown on the display.
If you want the blower to run only at a fixed low speed, push the (low)
button until
“LO” is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the “AUTO” setting, push the
button until “AUTO
LO” is shown on the display.

1-1 Push this button to
remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets. In some cold start conditions, the
“AUTO”
blower fan speed may be limited until the cooling system warms up. This
is normal to prevent windshield fogging.
The .fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature. If
you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.
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).
REAR DEFOGGER
I
Push this button to turn
on the rear defogger.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after
10 minutes. If further
defrosting is desired, simply push the button again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heating grids. Your warranty would not,cover this damage.
And don’t put decals there; you might have to scrape them.off.

The Electronic Solar Sensor is part of the Electronic Climate Control
System.
Rear Seat Air Outlet
The sensor monitors
the sun’s solar
radiation
by telling the
Electronic Climate
Control system at what
angle and intensity the
sun is. The Electronic
Climate Control uses
this information to
automatically make
the necessary
temperature and air
flow adjustments to
maintain your comfor

Front De-Ice
Here’s how to use your heated windshield in cold weather to remove ice
or frost quickly:
1. If any snow is piled up on the windshield, brush it away.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in P (“Park”).
‘. .
n.
3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. Try not to use other electrical equipment while the system is working.
The system will go
off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system
will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for
two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield.
In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)

Your Delco@ sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. But 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.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals will reach only
about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with
FM signals, causing popping, crackling, or momentary
hissing sounds.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power
lines.
Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
This means your radio can produce quality
AM sound comparable to FM
stereo.
AMAX@ reduces noise without reducing the high frequencies you
need for the best sound. In addition to improved sound quality,
AMAX@
includes more stations on the AM band. You don’t have to do anything in
your radio because
AMAX@ is automatic.

This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many
AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo,
though some do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of Motorola,
Inc.)
If your Delco’ system can get C-QUAM@, your “ST” stereo light
will come
on when you’re receiving 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.
0 Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
~~
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle -- like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio -- be
sure you can add what you want.
If you can, it’s very important
to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delco’ radio or other
systems, and even damage them.
And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
