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.
Lf 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 INFORMA’TION button. The normal range
is 11.5 to
15.5 volts.
BRAKE VACUUM PROBLEM - 108: Thecircuit in
the brake booster vacuum has shorted

the Personalized Automotive Security System
(PASS-Key
11) is unable to read the pellet on the
ignition key
or an improper key pellet has been inserted.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on
the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the
INFORMATION button several times until
XX OIL
LIFE LEFT appears. If you see 99% OIL LIFE LEFT,
99% of your current oil life remains.
The
DIC may display a CHECK OIL LEVEL message.
Always keep a written record
of the mileage and date
when you changed your oil. For more information, see
the Cadillac Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see
CHECK OIL LEVEL, it means that you have less than
10% of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil.
If you see CHANGE
ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you
should change the oil right away.
The
system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven
7,500 miles (12 500 km) it will
indicate
to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty
area, you should change your
oil every 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing it sooner. The
system doesn't check
120~) much oil you have. so
you'll still have to check for that. To see how, see
"Engine Oil"
in the Index.
When new
oil is added, you'll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFORMATION button. Then press and hold the RESET
button until
the display shows 100 OIL LIFE LEFT.
Electronic Level Control
This feature keeps the rear of your vehicle level as the
load changes. It's automatic -- you don't need to
adjust anything.

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
vour vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the
i/~ 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
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 moae.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Fresh
air will continue
to flow through the vehicle, and
the system will
try to maintain the previously set
temperature.
The outside temperature will show in
the display when the
system is off.
@ DE-ICE (Option): Pressing this button helps to
remove ice or frost from the windshield. See “Heated
Windshield’’ later
in this section.

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

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.

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.
