1998 CADILLAC CATERA battery

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Universal Transmitter (Option) This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions
of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will
operate garage doors and gates, or other devices
controlled by radio frequency such as home/office
lighting systems.
The transmitter will learn and transmit the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered
by your
vehicle's battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
the manufacturer of the unit at 1-800-335-3515. Be sure
to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you are programming from one of these
transmitters,
you should press and re-press the button on
the hand-held transmitter every
two seconds without ever
releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
You may
have to repeat
this step several times while programming.

There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows the air bag symbol. The system
checks the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag
modules, the wiring and the diagnostic module. For
more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag”
in the Index.
This light will come on
when you start your engine,
and
it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start the
engine or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
The air bag readiness light should flash for
a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to
ON. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Charging System Indicator Light
El
When you turn the key
to START, this light will
come on briefly to show
that the generator and
battery charging systems are working.
If this light stays on, you need service and you should
take your vehicle to the dealer at once. To save the
battery until you get there, turn
off all accessories.
Brake System Warning Light
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.

VOLTS
You can read battery
voltage on the voltmeter. If
it reads less than
12 volts or
more than 16 volts while the
engine
is running, and it
stays there, you may have a
problem with the electrical
charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving with
the voltmeter
reading in the lower warning zone could drain
or
damage the battery. Driving with the voltmeter reading
in the upper warning zone could cause bulbs to burn out
(especially headlamp bulbs), various vehicle modules to
shut down (due to overload protection) and the
possibility
of a battery acid leak.
If you idle the engine for a while, the voltmeter reading
might move into the red zone. If the reading
stays in the
red zone while
you are driving, you may have a problem
with the electrical charging system. Have it checked.
While the voltmeter reads in the red zone, the battery
may not be able to power certain electrical accessories,
like ABS. (If this happens, the ABS light will come on.
See “Anti-Lock Brakes System Warning Light” in
this section.)
If you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn off all the accessories,
including the comfort controls and the audio system.

Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
When RDS is on, the radio can:
seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
0 receive announcements concerning local and
0 receive and display messages from radio stations and
national emergencies,
search
for a stronger station when a station is too
RDS features are only available for use on
FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
n RDS SELECT Press the orange rectangular
button to use the alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA,
MSG, PTY and

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the PTY display is on, press SEEK and SCAN to
find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The
last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA
are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic
announcements and the selected
PTY.
PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs).
These buttons have factory PTY presets.

by one
of these buttons to display the time for the
current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed. If
a time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION
TIME will be displayed. If
you have recently tuned to
the station, you may need
to wait a minute before the
time is available to the radio. To set the clock to the
current displayed station time, press and hold HR or MN
until TIME UPDATED is displayed. There
is a two
second delay before the time is updated. RDS mode
does not have to be on to use this function, but you must
be tuned to an FM RDS station.
ALERT This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies.
You will not be able to turn off
alert announcements. Alert announcements will come on
even if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the
display when an alert announcement plays. The radio
uses TA volume during these announcements.
To
increase volume, turn the PWRNOL knob to the right.
Turn it to the left to decrease volume. TA VOLUME
will appear on the display while the volume is being
adjusted. When an alert announcement comes on the
tuned radio station or a related network station, you will
hear it, even
if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc
is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for an alert announcement,
it will return
to
the original station when the announcement is

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged.
You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do
it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or
so until help comes.
