Light
This red light tells you that
the engine has overheated.
You should stop the car and
turn the engine off as soon
as possible.
A warning
chime should also sound if
this light comes on.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine
Soon Light)
SERVICE
ENGINE
SOON
Your Cadillac is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called OBD
I1 (.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 vehicle 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:
0 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.
If the Light Is Flashing
The following may prevent more serious damage to
your vehicle:
0 Reduce vehicle speed.
0 Avoid hard accelerations.
Avoid steep uphill grades.
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.

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
