The horn can be sounded by pressing any surface on the
center steering wheel pad.
Tilt Wheel
Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before
you drive. Raising the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs more room when you enter
and exit the vehicle.
Hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you
to tilt the wheel. Adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and then release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal
a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete.
A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it's released.

If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the
DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that
flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by
a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned
out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails
to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and
then release
it to change the
headlamps from low beam
to high or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will be on
indicating high-beam usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works
even if
the headlamps are off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to use. When you do:
0 If the headlamps are off, the high-beam headlamps
will turn on. They’ll stay on as
long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high beam and stay there. Pull
the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
0 If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward
you.

WIPER: Turn the band on the turn signal lever to
control the wipers.
MISE Turn the band toward you and then release it for
a single wipe cycle. For more cycles, hold the band on
MIST longer.
LO or HI: Turn the band away from you to either
LO (low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on the
wiper speed you want.
DELAY You can set the wiper speed for a long'or short
delay between wipes with this setting. Move the band to
the DELAY position. The closer you move it to LO, the
shorter the delay.
OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen
or thaw them. If the blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.

is turned off, the headlamps and parking lamps will
deactivate. Also note that using

lamp. The underhood lamp will come on when the hood
is open.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CHECK COOLANT LEVEL - 02: This message will
appear when there is a low level of engine coolant. Have
the cooling system serviced by a Cadillac technician
as
soon as possible.
CHECK FUEL GAGE - 39: This message will appear
when the fuel supply is less than four gallons
(15.2 L)
and the display is turned off (digital clusters only).
CHECK OIL LEVEL - 36: For correct operation of
the low oil sensing system, your vehicle should be on a
level surface.
A false CHECK OIL LEVEL message
may appear if the vehicle
is parked on grades. The oil
level sensing system does not check for actual oil level
if the engine has been off for
a short period of time, and
the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running.
If the CHECK OIL LEVEL message appears, and your
vehicle has been parked on level ground with the engine
off
for at least 30 minutes, the oil level should be
checked by observing the
oil dipstick. Prior to checking
the oil level be sure the engine has been off for five
minutes and your vehicle
is on a level surface. Then
check the dipstick and add oil if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25: This message will
appear
for several seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43: This message will
appear for
a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
DOOR OPEN - 141: The passenger‘s door is open or
ajar when this message appears. The vehicle’s engine
must be running and the transaxle not
in PARK (I?) for
this message to display. A chime will also sound when
the vehicle’s speed is greater than
5 mph (8.1 km/h).
DRIVER DOOR OPEN - 140: This message
will display when the vehicle is being shifted out of
PARK (P) with the engine running to signal that the
driver’s door
is open or ajar. A chime will also sound
when the vehicle’s speed
is greater than 5 mph
(8.1 km/h).
ENGINE COOLANT HOT-IDLE ENGINE - 44:
This message will appear when the engine coolant
temperature is over
248 “F ( 1 24°C). To avoid added
strain on a hot engine, turn
off the climate control
system. Stop and allow your vehicle
to idle until it cools
down
or the message is removed. If it does not cool
down, turn off the engine and
have it serviced before
driving it again. Severe engine damage can result from
an overheated engine. See
“Engine Overheating” in
the Index.
