Traction Control System Warning Light
TRACTION CONTROL
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If it doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there’s a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, there
may be a problem with your traction control system and
your vehicle may need service. When
this warning light
is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
If you turn the system
off by pressing the button located
in the glove
box, the warning light will come on and
stay on.
To turn the system back on, press the button
again. The warning light should go
off. (See “Traction
Control System” in the Index for more information.)
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Traction Control System Active Light
TRACTION
ENGAGED
When your traction control
system
is limiting wheel
spin, this light will come on.
Slippery road conditions
may exist
if the traction
control system active light
comes on,
so adjust your
driving accordingly.
The light will stay on for a few seconds after the traction
control system stops limiting wheel spin.
The traction control system active light also comes on
briefly when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed so it will be
there to tell you when the system is active.
These lights are deleted on Coachbuilder limousines and
funeral coach packages.

Domestic Canada
Your Cadillac is equipped with a computer which
monitors operation of the fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. This system
is called OBD
II (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to assure that emissions
are at acceptable levels for
the life
of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. (In Canada, OBD
I1 is replaced by
Enhanced Diagnostics.) The SERVICE ENGINE
SOON
light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and
service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated
by the system before any problem is apparent, which
may prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicre with this light
on, after a while, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.
This light should come on, as a check to show you it is
working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not
running.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired.
This light will also come on during a malfunction in one
of two ways:
Light Flashing -- A misfire condition has been
detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and
may damage the emission control system on your
vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and service is required.
Light On Steady -- An emission control system
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle.
Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and
service may
be required. The following
may prevent more serious damage to
your vehicle:
0 Reduce vehicle speed.
0 Avoid hard accelerations.
0 Avoid steep uphill grades.
0 If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being
hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If
the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so,
stop the vehicle. Put your vehicle in PARK (P). Turn the
key
off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine.
If the light remains on steady, see
“If the Light Is On
Steady” following.
If the light is still flashing follow the
previous steps, and drive the vehicle to your dealer or
qualified service center for service.

OUT TEMP: Press this to display the outside
temperature. Press it again to return to the regular
system display.
TEMP: This sets the interior temperature you want.
Press the lower portion to lower the inside temperature
setting. Press the upper portion to raise the temperature
setting. Once you set the temperature, the system will
automatically maintain the set temperature.
You can change the temperature from
65 OF (1 8 O C) to
85 OF (29"C), one degree at a time. You may also choose
60 OF ( 16 O C) for maximum cooling or 90 OF (33 O C) for
maximum heating. The fan will stay on high speed
unless you select a different speed. In maximum heating,
most of the air will flow out the heater outlets. In
maximum cooling, the system will recirculate the air
inside your vehicle instead of pulling air from outside.
OFF: This turns off anything set in the ECC, but air will
flow through your Cadillac.
ECON: Use this in cold or cool weather to save fuel. It
won't cool or remove humidity from the air. However,
the system will try to keep the air at the chosen
temperature. If it's
so warm outside that you need to
cool the air, use AUTO.
AUTO: With this setting, the system automatically
controls the temperature, air distribution and fan
speeds. In cold conditions, the fan will not come on
until the system senses that the engine has started to warrn up. This prevents cold air from blowing on you
and your passengers.
FAN: The fan speed is controlled automatically if
you have the ECC set
on AUTO. However, if you want
the fan to run at a lower speed, press the lower portion
of the fan switch.
If you want the blower to run at a fixed higher speed,
press the upper portion
of the fan switch until you see
HI on the display.
If you want the fan to run at a fixed low speed, press the
switch until
LO is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to be automatic but you like
the fan to be higher or lower than the AUTO settings,
just press the switch until either HI AUTO or AUTO
LO
is displayed.
If the Fahrenheit

flash, or flashes when you turn
on the symbol begins to
ignition, it
indicates an electrical problem with your air
conditioning system. The flashing will continue for
about two minutes. It means you should have your
system serviced.
