1995 CADILLAC SEVILLE Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Level Control
The level control system automatically adjusts the rear trim height in
response to changes in vehicle loading. The system consists of an air
compressor assembly, air dryer, exhaust solenoid, compressor relay,
height sensor, air adjustable shocks and air tubing.
The height sensing function is performed by
the Road-Sensing Suspension
(RSS) rear position sensors. Rear trim height information is input from -
the rear position sensors to the RSS control module which controls
compressor and exhaust solenoid operation.
If the system has
a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a -
few seconds each time.
For a larger air leak the air compressor may stay on for up to seven
minutes. You should see your dealer for service, but
you can keep driving
your Cadillac. --

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

maximum cooling is needed to maintain the selected tempera.ture.

Air Outlets

Air outlets are located
in the center and at
each side
of the
instrument panel.
You
can adjust the direction
of airflow by moving
the center control
levers or you can stop
the airflow by moving
the lever located on
each side
of the outlets
downward.

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.

With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to
cool the air and it's all automatic. In cold weather when the system senses
the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor ducts. As the r--T
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed will
decrease and the airflow could be directed through the defroster and floor
ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the airflow may move to the
instrument panel air outlets and floor ducts (Bi-Level).
On bright sunny
days in cold weather, the airflow may come out
of the A/C outlets
(Bi-Level mode) to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
Electronic Climate Control Features
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 HI, 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 heat. 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, .. 3
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 the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside, in the AUTO setting, just set the
temperature to
60" F (16O C) and adjust your fan speed.

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.
FAN SPEEDS
Press the fan symbol button
until AUTO is displayed on
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 symbol button until
HI/AUTO 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.
