Your Cadillac’s flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside
air into the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when
the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets are located
in the center and at each
side
of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction of airflow by moving the center control levers
or
you can stop the airflow by moving the lever located
on each side
of the outlets downward. The direction
of airflow
for the rear seats can also be
adjusted
if you have the optional full console. Move the
fan lever to adjust the blower speed from
LO to HI.
Move the vent lever to direct the airflow.

a Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work
far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to
the highest speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging

objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.

quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button.
If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down.
If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning
the TEMP/AUTO knob.

is not available in the defrost or
defog modes. The lines
