Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This section tells you how to make your air system work
for
you. Your Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system
uses ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
With the
ECC system. you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your Cadillac. Your vehicle
also has a flow-through ventilation system described
later
in this section. The
button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
The TEMPIAUTO 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.
With this dual-zone feature, the right front passenger can
control the temperature
of air for hidher own zone. The
passenger can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver's setting.

automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may
not update as quickly as
