PARK (P): This locks the front wheels. It’s the best
position to use when you start the engine because your
vehicle can’t move easily.
I A CAUTION:
It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the
shift lever
is not fully in PARK (P) with the
parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to.
If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured.
To be sure your
vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on
fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to
PARK (P).
See “Shifting Into PARK (P)” in the Index. If
you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in
the Index.
Ensure the shift lever is fully
in PARK (P) range before
starting the engine. Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle
shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brakes
before you can
shift from PARK (P) when
the ignition key is in the
RUN position. If you cannot
shift out
of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift
lever -- push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P)
and release the shift lever button
on the floor shift
console models as
you maintain brake application. Then
move the shift lever into the gear you wish. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever on floor
shift console models.) See “Shifting Out of PARK (P)”
in this section.
REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.
NOTICE:
Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is
moving forward could damage your transaxle.
Shift to
REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle
has stopped.
Also use
this gear to rock your vehicle back and forth to
get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your
transaxle. See
“If You’re Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow” in the Index for additional information.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the red light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for
all three channels.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash rapidly and then
stop. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that
you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do
not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your Cadillac dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter in
case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal
transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds.
If you are programming from one of these
transmitters, you should
press and repress the button on
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons when the red light
on the universal
transmitter begins to flash rapidly.

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
