In this section you'll find out how to operate the comfort control systems
and audio systems offered with your Cadillac. Be sure to read about the
particular system supplied with your vehicle.
YOUR CXDILLACAIR SYSTEM
Outside Air
- -- Outside air flows through your vehicle when it is moving. It enters your
vehicle through an inlet at the base
of the windshield. Keep this area clear
of debris. Under most operating conditions this system uses outside air
AUTO setting, a door will close to stop the flow of most outside air
allowing recirculated interior air to cool your vehic.le. Your vehic.le can
also use this recirculate mode during normal auto air conditioning
if
maximum cooling is needed to maintain the selected tempera.ture.

Air outlets are located
in the center and at

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle has strategically placed electronic sensors that provide
information to the vehicle's computer systems. Your vehicle can control
the ventilation, heating and air conditioning automatically year round.
The outside temperature, inside temperature setting, fan speeds and the
ECC selection are displayed on a digital screen.
When the
OFF button is selected nothing is on, but air will still flow
through your vehicle if you're moving. The system will try to keep the air
at the selected temperature, but
it might not be able to maintain it if it's
hot or cold outside.
The
OUTSIDE temperature is always displayed when your vehicle is
running.
You can change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit by pressing the
ENG/MET (Englishhetric) button.

To select the
temperature you want,
press the blue button
for
a cooler setting or
the red button for a
warmer setting. The
temperature setting
will be displayed on the
digital screen.
Temperatures from
65" F (18" C) to 85 " F (29OC) may be selected for
automatic temperature control. You may choose
60" F (16" C) for
maximum cooling, and
90" F (33 C) for maximum heating. We
recommend when first getting familiar with your vehicle, select 75" F
(24' C). 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
Even though the ECON setting is automatic, the air conditioning
compressor does not operate and it won't remove humidity from the air.
The system will, however, attempt
to keep the air at the selected
temperature. Use this setting in cold or cool weather
to save fuel.
Use the AUTO setting when it's warm outside and you need to cool
the air.

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).

DE-ICEa
3. Press the DE-ICE
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
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 openers and radar detectors.
(In certain
states radar detectors are legal.)

vehicle must be towed
on the front wheels, don’t go more than 35 mph
(56 kmih) or farther than 25 miles (40 km) or your transaxle will be
damaged. If these limits must be exceeded, then the front wheels have to
be supported on a dolly.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
The Driver Information Center will display either ENGINE COOLANT
HOT-IDLE ENGINE
or STOP ENGINE ENGINE OVERHEATING.
In addition you will find the warning light about a hot engine
on your
instrument panel
on Canadian vehicles.

Overheated Engine Protection Operating Mode
Should a low coolant condition exist and the message STOP ENGINE
ENGINE OVERHEATING is displayed, an overheat protection mode
which alternates firing groups
of four cylinders helps prevent engine
damage. This operating mode allows your vehicle
to be driven to a safe
place in an emergency; you may drive
up to 50 miles (80 km). Towing a
trailer
in the overheat protection mode should be avoided.

If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, don’t do anything
else until it cools down.
The coolant level should be visible inside the surge tank once the cap has
been removed.
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system.

The following explains your cooling system and how to add coolant when
it
is low. If you have a problem with engine overheating, see “Engine
The proper coolant
for your Cadillac will:
Give freezing protection down to -34OF (-37OC).
m_ Overheating” in the Index.
Give boiling protection up to 262°F (128°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights work as they should.
What to Use
Use a mixture of one-half clean water (preferably distilled) and one-half
antifreeze that meets
“GM Specification 1825M,” which won’t damage
aluminum parts. You can also use a recycled coolant conforming to GM
Specification 1825M with a complete coolant flush and refill. Use GM
Engine Coolant Supplement (sealer) with any complete coolant flush and
refill. If you use this mixture,
you don’t need to add anything else.
