Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It’s based on the engine oil temperatures and
your driving patterns.
To see the display, press the
INFORMATION
(INFO) button several times until XX
OIL LIFE LEFT appears. If you see 99% OIL LIFE
LEFT, 99 percent of your current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHECK OK, LEVEL message.
Always keep
a written record of the mileage and date when you changed
your oil.
For more information, see
the Cadillac Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see
CHECK OIL LEVEL, it means that you have less than
10 percent of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil.
If you see CHANGE
ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you
should change the oil right away.
The system should indicate changing the oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the

7,500 miles (12 500 km), it
will indicate to change the oil. If you drive in a dusty
area, you should change your oil every
3,000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing
it sooner. The
system doesn’t check
how much oil you have, so you’ll
still have to check for that.
To see how, see “Engine Oil”
in the Index.

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. 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.
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the
INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLHSH/METRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select.
The outside temperature sensor
is located near the front
grille.
The sensor can be affected by road or engine heat
dnring 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. 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 ~QW to cycle through the available modes.
Automatic
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.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary. If you' choose 60 OF ( 16 " C),
the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and will not regulate fan speed.
If you choose the
temperature of
90°F (32"C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system to
heat or cool any faster.
