Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine Oil Light (Canadian \Export On&)
This light tells you if
there could be a
problem with your engine oil pressure.
The light goes on when you turn your key to “Run” or “Start.”
It goes off
once you start your engine. That’s just a check to be sure the light works.
If it doesn’t, be sure to have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When the light comes on and stays on, it means oil isn’t going through
your engine properly. You could be low on oil, or you might have some
other oil problem.
NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems can be
costly and
is not covered by your warranty.

If the refrigerant system ever reaches an over-pressure condition, this
message will appear to tell you that the air conditioning compressor has
been turned
off. Air conditioned air will not be delivered to cool your
vehicle.
If the pressure returns to a normal operating range, you must
select “AUTO”, “DEFOG”, or Defrost to start the compressor. If this

This message will appear if your battery is not being charged. Have your
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH - 08
This message shows that the electrical charging system is overcharging,
(more than 16 volts).

BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06
This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts, or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting it is possible that the generator can still
recharge the battery. The battery should recharge after driving a
few
miles and the message should go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the
generator recharge
the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the
electrical system
by turning off your accessories. You can monitor battery
voltage on the Driver Information Center by toggling the
“INFORMATION” button. The normal range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.

does not restart, the PASS Key II@ system will need servicing.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are two things the system doesn’t do:
It can’t sense heavy dust in the places where you drive. If you drive in
a dusty area, you should change your oil
every 3000 miles (5000 km)
or 3 months (whichever comes first), unless the display says to change
it even sooner than that.
0 It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check
for that. To see how, see Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do it, display
the “OIL
LIFE INDEX” by pressing the INFORMATION button. Then
press and hold the RESET buttons until the display shows
“100 OIL
LIFE LEFT”
Electronic Level Control
This keeps your car level.
The ignition has to be “ON” for
the level control to work. When you turn
the ignition off, you may hear the level control exhausting.
The system
consists
of an electronic rear position sensor, a small electric air
compressor, and air adjustable shock absorbers mounted on the rear
of
the vehicle.
If the system has a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
For a massive air leak, the air compressor will stay on for approximately
7 minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but you can keep
driving your Cadillac, though.

To select the
temperature you want,
push the blue button
for a cooler setting and
the red button for a
warmer setting. The
temperature setting
will be displayed on
the digital screen.
You can select temperatures from 65
F (18 C) to 85 F (29 C). And, at
each end, you may choose
60 F (16 C), for maximum cooling, and 90 F
(33 OC), for maximum heating. We recommend when fiit getting familiar
with your vehicle, select 75
OF (24OC). You may find that your own personal
comfort requires a slightly higher or lower setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system
will automatically maintain the set temperature.
ECON
With this setting it’s all automatic, but the air conditioning compressor
does not operate and it won’t remove humidity from the air. However,
the system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature. Use this
setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel.
If it’s warm outside and you need to cool the air, use the next choice.
AUTO
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to
cool the air and it’s all automatic.
In cold weather when the system senses
the need for heat, the air flow will
be directed out the floor ducts. As the
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed
will decrease and the air flow could be directed through the defroster and
floor ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the air flow may move to the air
outlets and floor ducts (Bi-level). On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the air flow could even come out the
A/C outlets to maintain comfort and
prevent stuffiness.

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.)

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.
