0 RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh
air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when you
are trying to cool the air quickly or limit
odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the
system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the
air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the
air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Fresh
air will continue to flow through the vehicle, and
the system will try to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will show in
the display when the system
is off.
DEFOG: Press this button to divide the air between the
windshield and the heater outlets. This is useful when
fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to
sudden rain or snowy conditions.
AUTOECON: Press this button to switch between
AUTO and
ECON. The ECON setting attempts to keep
air at a selected temperature, however, it does not remove
humidity from the
air. Use this setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel. The AUTO setting is used when
it’s warm outside and you need
to cool the air in order to
maintain
a selected temperature and blower speed.
FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan symbol
on it until AUTO is displayed on the screen. At this
setting, the fan speed is automatically controlled. If
it is
cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum
high fan speed right away. The system checks the
temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm
enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is
warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase
.
to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing
into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower
fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button until you
see HI on the display. If you want the fan speed to be
automatic, but you like the
fan speed to be higher than
the AUTO setting, press the fan symbol button until
HI
AUTO is shown on the display. If you want the blower
fan at a low speed, press the down arrow button until LO
is shown on the display. If you want the fan speed to run
lower than the AUTO setting, press the button until
AUTO
LO is shown on the display.
DEFROST Press this button to quickly remove
fog or frost from the windshield. This setting sends
most of the airflow to the windshield with only a
small amount to the floor outlets.

OFF.
AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the
AUTO mode, the display will show
that
AC is active, but the air conditioning compressor
only operates when the system determines it is needed.
0 RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the

Electronic Solar Sensor
The sensor monitors the sun's solar radiation and is
located on top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. The
ECC panel uses this information to
automatically make the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort.

Air Conditioning
.On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside
air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the
air conditioner to work its best. I ,
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTOLECON button to assist 'in cooling air and in
maintaining proper airflow. Adjust the temperature to a
comfortable setting by pressing the blue,button to cool
your vehicle and pressing the red button to warm your
vehicle. Press the fan button
arrows up or down to
,adjust the fan speed.
If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which is
standard with the analog cluster), press the AC button
or
the TEMPLAUTO knob to turn the system on. The
system'will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the
vehicle. Also while in the AUTO mode, the system will
use recirculation as necessary
to cool the air. You may
also need to adjust- the interior temperature and the fan
speed as needed.
When'the
air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes
in your vehicle's engine speed
and power. This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle the compressor
on and off to keep
the desiied temperature.
Heating
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTOECON button to direct airflow and to help save
fuel. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, by pressing
the blue button to decrease temperature and pressing the
red button to increase temperature.
Also remember to
adjust the fan speed by pressing the up or downarrow.
If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which is
standard with the analog cluster), press the
MODE
button to select heater. Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed needs adjusting,
press the up
or down arrow.
With each system, outside
air will be brought in and sent
through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level outlets
(depending on the condition). The heater works best
if
you keep your windows closed whiIe using it.

~ 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.

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

HVAC Steering Wheel Controls
Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See “Audio
Steering Wheel Controls”
later in this section. With
this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the ignition key is placed
in the ignition
(the ignition must be turned to
LOCK), the climate
control settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set. The settings can
also be changed by briefly
pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the
driver’s
door.

Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going
slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you
must start when you’re not fresh
-- such as after a day’s
work
-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to go.
If it needs
service, have
it done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America. They’ll
be ready and willing to help if you need it.

Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full? Are
all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked
all levels?
Lamps: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?
Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip.
Is the tread good enough for
long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook
along your route? Should you delay your trip a short
time to avoid a major storm system?
Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?

you’ve been stopped by the snow.
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.
If you have
no blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor
mats
-- anything you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under your clothing
to keep warm. Snow
can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill
you. You can’t see it or smell it, so you might not
know
it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that
is blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time to be sure snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open
a window just a little on the side of the
vehicle
that’s away from the wind. This will help
keep
CO out.
