The electric mirrors can be adjusted to point where you
want from inside the vehicle.
Select the mirror you want
to move by turning the
center of the switch, located
on the driver's door armrest,
to L (left) or R (right).
Then, adjust the mirror angle by pressing the outer
arrows on the switch until the mirror is adjusted where
you want it. The center position turns the electric

Delayº in the Index for further information.
To turn on the defrost feature, press the rear window
defrost button. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for further information.

2-66 Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the HomeLink transmitter
until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly (after
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This
procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the HomeLink transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.
3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the HomeLink
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through
Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the HomeLink transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates that the HomeLink transmitter has
been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.

2-68 Training a Garage Door Opener with a
ªRolling Codeº Feature (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Transmitterº listed previously. If you
have completed this programming already, you now
need to train the garage door opener motor head unit to
recognize the HomeLink transmitter. Refer to your
garage door opener owner's manual for the proper
transmitter training procedure for your garage door
opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color will
vary by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty finding the training button, refer to your
garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. An indicator light will begin to
flash when the motor head unit enters the
training mode.
Note: Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.3. Return to the HomeLink transmitter in your vehicle
and firmly press and release the HomeLink
transmitter button you have already programmed for
two to three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three
times) to make sure that the HomeLink transmitter
has been trained to the garage door opener motor
head unit. Check that the training was successful.
The motor head unit indicator light should no longer
be flashing.
The garage door opener should now recognize the
HomeLink transmitter. You may either use the
HomeLink transmitter or the hand
-held transmitter to
open the garage door.
If after following these instructions, you still have
problems training the garage door opener, call the
manufacturer of the unit at 1
-800-355-3515 or Cadillac
Customer Assistance (1
-800-458-8006 in the United
States) (1
-800-263-3777 in Canada).

REAR CONTROLS
To use the rear control, first turn the front control knob
to REAR CNTL. Then, the rear control can be used to
increase and decrease the airflow.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside 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.
The recirculation button, between the fan and
temperature knobs, allows the air inside your vehicle
to be recirculated. This setting helps to maximize
your air conditioner's performance and your vehicle's
fuel economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest and can be used
to keep unwanted odors and/or dust from entering the
vehicle. When using the air conditioner, turn off
recirculation after the vehicle reaches a comfortable
interior temperature. When the right knob on the control
panel is between HEATER and DEFROST, the
recirculation feature will not function.
The A/C button allows the air coming into your vehicle
to be cooled. This setting is useful for normal cooling on
hot days. When you use A/C with the recirculation
button pushed in, turn off recirculation as soon as the
vehicle reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
With the A/C on, move the temperature knob to MAX
for maximum cooling. This setting also puts the system
in the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your
air conditioner's performance and your vehicle's fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest. After
the vehicle's interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
move the temperature knob to the right to place the air
conditioning system in the normal mode.

The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes.
If you need additional warming time, press the button
again. You can turn the defogger off at any time by

Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or anything else sharp on
the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all its controls, to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
