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. --

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heated Windshield (Option)
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).
w
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.)
