Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Windows
The power window controls on the driver’s armrest
control each of the four windows. In addition, there are
individual controls near each window. Move the control
forward to raise the window and rearward to lower.
The driver’s window has an express-down feature. Just
press the control once

more
-- and then let go. The window will go all the way
down.
If you want to stop the window as it is going
down, press the control again. Your

When you stop your vehicle and turn the ignition key to
OFF, you can still use your power windows. The
electrical power to the power windows will not shut
off
until you open a door or 10 minutes have passed. If you
want this power for another
10 minutes, turn the key to
RUN and then back to OFF.
This switch allows you to
cut electrical power to the
rear power windows by
pressing the right end of the

transporting small children
and don’t want them to use
the power windows.

There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
button for less than
half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal, OR
0 Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Lamps On Reminder
If the manual lamp switch is left on (as when someone has
parked your vehicle), you’ll hear a warning chime when
you turn
off the ignition and open the driver’s door.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered
The
DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
0 the ignition is on and,
0 the headlamp switch is off.
2-38

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up eithe\
r.
When it’s dark enough outside,
your low-beam headlamps
will change to full brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set your gear
selector in park before you turn on the ignition. Once
you shift out of park, the DRL cannot be turned
off as
long as the ignition is on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need
it.
Cornering La.-ps
If the exterior lamps are on, the cornering lamps will
come on when you signal a turn. This will provide more
light for cornering when its dark.
Sei
The Twilight Sentinel control is under the headlamp
knob. It turns your lamps on and
off by sensing how
dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the lamp knob
off
and move the Twilight Sentinel control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps
will stay
on for about four minutes after you turn the
ignition to
OFF. If you move the control almost all the
way in the other direction,
so it’s just on, the lamps will ,
go off quickly when you turn the ignition to OFF.
The light sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel.
Do not cover the sensor. If
you do, it will sense that is is
dark outside and your lamps
will come on.

Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t worlung, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
This light should come on
when you turn the ignition
key to START. If
it doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to
the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to
an accident. If the light is still on after you’ve
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light will stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully
released,
it means you have a brake problem.

With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will
come on when you start
your engine and may stay
LOCK ANT‘- (e) That’s on for several normal. seconds.
If the light stays on,
turn the ignition off. Or, if the light
comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as possible
and
turn the ignition off. Then start the engine again to
reset the system.
If the light still stays on, or comes on
again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you
still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If
the regular brake system warning light
is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part. The
anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also
come on when you are driving with a compact spare tire.
If this happens, the light means you won’t have
anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a
full-size tire. If the warning light stays on after you
replace the compact spare with a full-size tire, or if it
comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
