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.)

Be sure your vehicle’s tires are inflated to the recommended pressure for
cold tires. You’ll find these numbers on the Certification label
at the rear
edge
of the driver’s door or see “Loading Your Vehicle” in the Index.
Then be sure
you don’t go over the GVW limit for your vehicle, including
the weight of the trailer tongue.
Hitches
It’s important to have the correct hitch equipment. Crosswinds, large
trucks going by, and rough roads are a
few reasons why you’ll need the
right hitch. Here are some rules
to follow:
0 Will you have to makc any holes in the body of your vehicle when you
install a trailer hitch?
if you do, then be sure to seal the holes later
whcn
you remove the hitch. If you don’t seal them, deadly carbon
monoxide
(CO) from your exhaust can get into your vehicle (see
“Carbon Monoxide”
in the Index). Dirt and water can, too.
Safety Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under
the tongue of the trailer so that the tongue
will not drop to thc road if it becomes separated from the hitch.
Instructions about safety chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer. Follow the manufacturcr’s
recommendation for attaching safety chains and do not attach them to the
bumper. Always leave
just enough slack so you can turn with your rig.
And, never allow safety chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
Because you have anti-lock brakes, don’t try to tap into your vehicle’s
hydraulic brake system.
If you do, both brake systems won’t work well, or
at all.
Be sure to read and follow thc instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll
be able to install, adjust and maintain them properly.

While refueling, hang
the cap inside the fuel
door.
To take off the cap, turn it slowly to the left (counterclockwise).
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from painted surfaces as
soon as possible. See “Cleaning the Outside of Your Cadillac” in the
Index.
When
you put the cap back on, turn it to the right until you hear at least
three clicks.
I NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right type. Your dealer
can get one
for you. If you get the wrong type, it may not fit or
have proper venting, and your fuel tank and emissions system
might be damaged.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is powered by a
MAXI” fuse. An electrical overload in the headlamp wiring may cause
your headlamps
to go off and remain off. You will need to have your
Cadillac serviced immediately.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MAXI TM fuse. An electrical
overload in the motor wiring may cause your wipers
to stop working. If
this happens
you will need to have your Cadillac serviced.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy (such
as a switch being
held on with the window completely up), the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or the load is removed.
