Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that
are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed
in English.
A/C OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION - 16: This
message displays when the engine coolant becomes
hotter than the normal operating temperature.
To avoid
added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned off
so that air
conditioned
air is not delivered. If the coolant
temperature returns to normal, you must select AC to
return to a normal A/C compressor operation.
If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46: This message will
appear if your vehicle is in PARK
(P) for about 15
seconds and the brake
is not pressed in. To remove this
message from the DIC display, hold the
OFF and the
blue (cooler) buttons on the digital cluster climate control panel for about five seconds. On the analog
cluster climate control panel, press the
OFF button (next
to the
MODE button) and the down arrow on the PASS
TEMP button for about five seconds. Hold the same two
buttons to display the message again.
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
(INFO) 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. If 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

The TEMP/AUTO knob adjusts the air temperature coming
through the system.
Turn the TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise
to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to
decrease the temperature. Press the
TEMWAUTO knob to
put the system
in the automatic mode.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Button
With this feature, the right front passenger can control
the temperature of 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
located below the radio. 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.
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the ENGMET (Englishlmetric) on
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The outside temperature sensor is located near the front
grille. The sensor can be affected by road or engine heat
during idling, slow driving or when the engine is first started after a short trip. In order
to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions
as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off
and by vehicle speed.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the
selected mode until the MODE button is pushed again.
Press the up
or down arrow to cycle through the
available modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
