Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap
if the child restraint has one. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat as
far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats” in the Index.)
2. Put the restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly if you ever had to.

PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels. It’s the
best position to use when you start the engine because

parking brake
firmly set. Your vehicle can roll.
Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine
is
running unless you have to. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be sure your
-vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake and
move the shift lever to
PARK (P).

Your vehicle'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 direction
of airflow to the rear seats can be adjusted
if you have the optional full console (DeVille Concours
Only). Move the fan lever to adjust the blower speed
from LO to
HI. Motre the vent lever to direct the airflow.
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 aifflow by moving the lever located
on each side
of the outlets downward.

~ Ventilation Tips
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.
of objects. This helps circulate
air throughout
your vehicle.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG (digital cluster
climate control panel only) to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely humid
or cold conditions.
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press
the DEFOG button and adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or down.
If you use DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed the same way.
If you select
DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the
fan speed. The temperature will also need to be
adjusted to your comfort level. Press the blue button
to decrease the temperature and the red button
to
increase the temperature. If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which
is
standard with the analog cluster). 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.
Note that recirculation is not available in the defiost
or defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the glass. Press
this button to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut
off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.

Things you put inside your vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or turn, or in
a crash.
Put things in the trunk of your vehicle. In a
trunk, put them
as far forward as you can.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
Never stack heavier things, like suitcases,
inside the vehicle
so that some of them are
above the tops of the seats.
Don’t leave an unsecured child restraint in
your vehicle.
When you carry something inside the
vehicle, secure it whenever you can.

adjust anything.
Towing a Trailer
If you don’t use the correct equipment and drive
properly,
you can lose control when you pull a
trailer. For example, if the trailer
is too heavy, the
brakes may not work well
-- or even at all. You
and your passengers could be seriously injured.
You may also damage your vehicle; the resulting
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Pull a trailer only if you have followed all the
steps in this section. Ask your dealer for advice
and information about towing a- trailer with

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered by a MaxiFuse?
An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse
is a registered trademark of Little Fuse ,
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload,
is caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have
it fmed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load
is too heavy,
the cifcuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
MaxiFusesLRelay Center
The MaxiFuses and relays are located next to the engine
compartment fuse b1oc.k on the driver’s side
of the
engine.
To access the compartment fuse block, remove
the shroud cover.
If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same amperage. Pick some feature
of your vehicle that
you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.
