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 H1, 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 hcat. 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 airflow
to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal
conditions.
MANUALLY RECIRCULATE INSIDE AIR
There may be times when you want less air from thc outside. To
recirculate the air from the insidc, in the AUTO setting, just set the
temperature
to 60" F (36" C) and adjust your fan speed.
DEFOG
Press 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 sudden rain or snowy conditions.

c
Press the fan 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 allows the fan to gradually increase
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, press 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 press the fan button until HI/AUTU is
shown
on the display.
If you want the blower
to run only at a fixed low speed, press the (lower)
button until
LO is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the
AUTO setting, press the
button until
AUTO LO is shown on the display.
DEFROSTER
Press this button to
remove
fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most
of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets.
The fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature.
If you need more air directed to your windshield, you should
select a higher fan speed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In some cold start conditions, the AUTO blower fan speed may be limited
until the engine cooling system warms up. This is normal to prevent
windshield fogging.
It will help 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
-1 Press 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
defogging is desired, simply press 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.

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 PARK (P).
3. Press the DE-ICE
switch. A light will
come on to tell
you it is working.
DE-ICE
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
PARK (P), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, press 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 pressing the switch again.
Use the defroster or defog features of the Electronic Climate Control to
clear fog from the windshield as previously described. 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 opcners and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)

Your Delco@ audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. You will get the most enjoyment out of your
audio
s stem 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.
d
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however, FM signals will only
reach about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills may
interfere with FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping, crackling or momentary hissing noises.
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. (FCC regulations require some AM radio stations to reduce
signal strength at night to minimize interference.)
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 to your radio because AMAX’ is automatic.
AM Stereo
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.
