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
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as sow as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07
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).
To avoid being stranded have the electrical system
checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest convenience. You can
reduce the charging overload by using the accessories. Turn on the lights,
radio, set the Climate Control on
“AUTO” and the fan speed on “HI” and
turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery voltage on the
Driver Information Center by toggling the “INFORMATION” button.
When the engine is running, the normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 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.

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.
