2000 CADILLAC SEVILLE window

3-6 Electronic Solar Sensor
The sensor monitors the sun's solar radiation and is located
near the end of the instrument panel near the windshield.
The climate control panel uses this information to
automatically make the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort. The
climate control system may supply cooler air to one side
of your vehicle, if that side is facing the sun. Be careful
not to put anything over the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
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. Your A/C
setting may be adjusted automatically or manually.
It may also be set separately on the passenger's side
from the driver's side. See ªClimate Control Panelº
earlier in this section.
Heating
Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level
and if the fan speed needs adjusting, press the up or
down arrow. Adjusting the fan speed will cancel the
cold air delay.
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor,
air conditioning or bi
-level outlets. The heater works
best if you keep your windows closed while using it.
In automatic operation, your fan will not run at high
speed to minimize warm
-up time.

3-7 Defrosting and Defogging
Use defrost (front) on cool and humid days to keep
the windshield and side windows clear. This setting will
remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions. If you desire to
have more air on your feet, turn the control to the defog
mode. You may do this by pressing the right or left
arrow on the MODE button.
Press the up or down arrow on the fan button to control
the blower speed. You may also adjust the temperature
by turning the TEMP knob.
The recirculation mode and the A/C OFF message are
not available in the defrost mode.
Rear Window Defogger
The grid 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 light on the button will come
on while the system is activated.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
The system will automatically shut off after five minutes
for any cycles after the initial activation.
Note: The lines along the top of the window are for
the diversity antenna and are not intended to defog the
rear window.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could
cut and damage the heating grids. Your warranty
would not cover this damage. Don't put decals
there because you might have to scrape them off.

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.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
Passenger compartment air, both outside air and
recirculated air, is routed through a passenger
compartment filter, which is part of a three
-piece filter
system. The carbon
-treated filter removes certain
contaminants from the air, including pollen and dust
particles. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more
quickly in dusty areas, indicate that the filter needs to be
replaced early.The filter is located inside the air control module, with
an access panel under the instrument panel near the
accelerator pedal. The filter should be replaced as part
of routine scheduled maintenance. See the Maintenance
Schedule booklet for replacement intervals. See your
dealer for details on changing the filter.
Your vehicle will not be damaged if you choose not to
replace the filter once the old one is removed.

clean the player, press and hold the eject button for three
seconds to reset the CLEAN TAPE indicator. The radio
will display CLEAN TAPE MSG CLEARED to show
that the indicator was reset.
Your cassette tape player automatically reduces
background noise. Dolby Noise Reduction is

3-56 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front
windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the front windshield and rear window are
not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they
could interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true,
the grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.

Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you
allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move
slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the
proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit,
do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up.
Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
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.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:

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?

Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
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.
You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
CAUTION:
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.
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.
