1997 CADILLAC DEVILLE display

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resuming a Set Speed
Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake will end the cruise function. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half a second to
reset. This returns you to
your desired preset speed.
Also note that the DIC
will display the CRUISE
ENGAGED message again.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever
and then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll
now cruise at the higher speed.
0 Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you reach a desired speed and then release
the switch. (To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to
WA. Each time
you do this, your vehicle will
go about 1 mph
(1.6
km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature
will only work after you have set the
cruise control
speed by pushing the SET CRUISE button.
Remember,
if you hold the switch at R/A longer than
half a second, the vehicle will accelerate until you
release the switch or apply the brake. You could be
startled and even lose control.
So unless you want to go
faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release it. A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display.
0 To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn
off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the twilight sentinel switch
is
on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will
go off, and the low-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over
for the DRL.
If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is
off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the DIC.
This message informs the driver
that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even
though the DRL
are still illuminated (it’s become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch
or the fog lamp switch will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK
(P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.
Fog Lamps (DeVille Concours Only)
Use the fog lamps for better
vision in foggy
or misty
conditions. When you press
the fog lamp button,
a small
indicator light will tell you
that the fog lamps and the
parking lamps
are on. Press
the button again to turn
them
off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps, the fog
lamps will turn off. They’ll turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the twilight sentinel is
on and the fog lamp switch
is activated, the fog lamps will remain on as well as the
headlamps and parking lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.

The control is next to
the headlamp knob.
It
automatically switches the
lamps on and off by sensing
how
dark it is outside.
To operate the twilight sentinel, leave the lamp knob off and move the
TWILIGHT control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned to the
OFF or LOCK
position. If you move the control so it is just on, the
lamps will go off quickly when
you turn the ignition
switch out
of RUN. You can adjust the delay time from
only a few seconds to three minutes.
If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is off, a
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the
DIC. This message informs
the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is
recommended (it’s become dark enough outside to
require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps). Turning on
the twilight sentinel, the headlamp switch or
the fog lamp switch will remove the
