2002 CADILLAC ELDORADO window

2-49
The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in
circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display
reads a direction.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode by
pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is
shown in the compass display.
Compass Variance
The mirror is set in zone eight upon leaving the factory.
It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate
for compass variance if you live outside zone eight.
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance
cross
-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for
compass variance. Compass variance is the difference
between earth's magnetic north and true geographic
north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance,
your compass could give false readings.
To adjust for compass variance, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone number
on the following zone map.
2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone number
appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the on/off button quickly until the correct
zone number appears in the display. Stop pressing
the button and the mirror will return to normal
operation. If C appears in the compass window,
the compass may need calibration. See ªCompass
Calibrationº explained previously.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

2-51 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Heated Outside Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
The glove box is located on the instrument panel in
front of the passenger's seat. To lock the glove box
door, insert the oval key into the lock cylinder and turn
it clockwise. Turn the key counterclockwise to unlock
the door.
Overhead Console
Sunglasses Storage Compartment
This feature is on vehicles without the optional sunroof.
To gain access to this compartment, which is located
directly above the inside rearview mirror in the headliner,

The map/storage pockets are located on each front door
as well as on the passenger's and driver's front seatbacks.

2-80 DIC Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is
only displayed in English.
Pressing the INFO or NO INFO RESET button(s)
will remove most of the following messages from the
DIC display:
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
- 46: This message
will appear if your vehicle is in PARK (P) for about
15 seconds and the brake is not pressed. On the climate
control panel, press the OFF button (next to the MODE
button) and the down arrow on the PASS TEMP button
for about five seconds. Hold the same two buttons to
display the message again.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the SKIP INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the
engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
- 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging
less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained.
If this message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible that the generator can still recharge the
battery. The battery should recharge and may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
to boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. (Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using a battery charger.)

!~(Fan): Press the switch with the fan symbol on it
until AUTO is displayed on the screen. This setting
automatically controls the fan speed. If it is cold outside,
the fan may not run in the maximum 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 fan at a higher speed, press the up arrow until
you see HI on the display. If you want the fan speed to
be automatic, but you want the fan speed to be higher
than the AUTO setting, press the fan symbol until
HI AUTO is shown on the display. If you want the
fan at a lower speed, press the down arrow until LO is
shown on the display. If you want the fan speed to run
lower than the AUTO setting, press the switch until
LO AUTO is shown on the display.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 on the
display when the system is OFF.
AC (Air Conditioning): 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.
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside 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.

3-7 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.
Press the AC button or the TEMP/AUTO knob to turn
the system on and then select the proper mode to direct
airflow. 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
maintain the desired temperature.
Heating
Press the MODE switch to select the heater mode.
Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level
and if the fan speed needs adjusting, press the up or
down arrow.
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 while using it.
Defogging and Defrosting
Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the MODE switch. If you select defrost mode,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan switch up or
down. If you select defrost mode from AUTO, the
system will control the fan speed. The temperature also
needs to be adjusted by turning the TEMP/AUTO knob.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost or defog modes.

3-8 Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass.
When the rear window defogger is turned on, the rear
window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated to
remove ice and snow from the surface of the glass.
Press this button to
turn on the rear defogger.
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.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Ventilation System
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 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 airflow by moving the lever located
on each side of the outlets downward.

3-9
The direction of airflow for the rear seats can also
be adjusted. Move the fan lever to adjust the fan
speed from low to high. Move the vent lever to direct
the airflow.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.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather,
adjust the fan to the highest speed for a few
moments before driving off. This helps clear the
intake outlets of snow and moisture, and reduces
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.
