With this setting, the air conditioning compressor
automatically cycles when needed to cool the air.
In cold
weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the
airflow will be directed out
the floor outlets. As the
interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
blower speed
will decrease. To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow may move
to the instrument panel
air outlets and floor outlets
(BI-LEVEL mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come
out
of the A/C outlets (AC mode) to maintain comfort
and prevent stuffiness.
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
outlets for a few seconds. That is normal. This
is to
expel hot air in the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the
airflow 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.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm
air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside
air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the'engine
was last started.
As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST will change
to AUTO when the ignition is shut off and then turned
back
on.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or fan
speed.
be
/I AC: This setting directs airflow through the
middle instrument panel outlets.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off.
The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the display will show
that AC is active, but the air conditioning compressor
only operates when the system determines it is needed.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when you
are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors
entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the system
will use recirculation as necessary to cool the
air.
Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press
the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.
DUAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL: With this
feature, the right front passenger can control the
temperature of heated air for hisher own zone. The
passenger can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver’s setting.
To turn the system
on, press the PASS/TEMP button. Press the up arrow to
increase
the temperature and press the down arrow to
decrease the climate setting. Pressing the
OFF button
will turn off the dual-zone function.
Air Conditioning
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 AUTO/ECON 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. Your
Cadillac’s flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside air into
the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater
or
the air conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets
are located in the center and at each
side
of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction
of aifflow by moving the center control levers
or
you can stop the airflow by moving the lever located
on each side
of the outlets downward.
