On
hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
With the ECC system, press the AUTOECON button
to assist in cooling air and in maintaining proper airflow.
Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting by
pressing the blue button to cool your vehicle and
pressing the red button to warm your vehicle. Press the
fan button arrows up or down to adjust the fan speed.
If you have the dual-zone system, press the AC button
to turn the system on and then select the proper MODE
to direct airflow. The system will cool and dehumidify
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in the AUTO
mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to
cool the air. You may also need to adjust the interior
temperature. Turn the TEMP knob clockwise to increase
the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. Adjust the fan speed as needed.
When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed
and power. This is normal because. the system is
designed to cycle the compressor on and
off to keep the
desired temperature. With
the ECC system, press the AUTOECON button
to direct airflow out of the floor outlets and to help save
fuel. Adjust the temperature, if necessary,
by pressing
the blue button to decrease temperature and pressing the
red button to increase temperature. Also remember to
adjust the fan speed by pressing the up
or down arrow.
If you have the dual-zone system, press the MODE
button to select heater. This will direct airflow out of the
floor outlets. Adjust the interior temperature to your
comfort level by turning the
TEMP knob clockwise to
increase temperature and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. If the fan speed needs adjusting, press the
up or down arrow.
With each system, outside air will be brought in and
sent through the floor outlets. The heater works best
if you keep
your windows closed while using it.

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.
