1996 CADILLAC ELDORADO radio

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at
your earliest convenience.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH - 08: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership.
You can reduce the charging overload by using the
accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate
control on AUTO and the fan speed on
HI, and turn the
rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the
engine
is running.
BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge after driving a few miles and the
message should go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to determine
the cause of this problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery
quickly you can reduce the load on the electrical system
by turning off the accessories. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM - 108: The circuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted or is loose when
this message appears. Your vehicle may lose power
brakes but you will still have the use of manual brakes.
The power brakes will not be affected if the problem is
caused by a failed sensor. Have your vehicle serviced
immediately at your Cadillac dealership.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82: This means that the life
of the engine oil has expired and it should be changed
within
200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations’’ in the Maintenance Schedule. After
an oil change, the Oil Life Indicator must be reset. See
“Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how to reset it.
CHANGE TRANS FLUID - 47: This message will
appear when
it is time to replace the transaxle fluid
(system has determined that the transaxle fluid has
reached
0%). See the Maintenance Schedule booklet for
the proper fluid and change intervals.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust
the fan to the highest speed for a few moments
before driving off. This helps clear the intake
outlets of snow and moisture, and reduces the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout your
vehicle.
I
Heated Windshield (Option)
The heated windshield will remove ice or frost in
cold weather.
1. Remove snow that is piled up on the windshield.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in PARK (P).
3. Press the DE-ICE button. A light will come on to
tell you it is working. 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
button. It will
go on for two-minute cycles after that.
If the windshield has cleared before the cycle is over,
you can turn it off by pressing the button again.
Use the defroster feature to clear fog from the
windshield as previously described.
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.)
Do not use the DE-ICE button if your vehicle has a
cracked windshield. A crack will not allow the system to
function properly. Have the windshield repaired before using the DE-ICE button again.
