(Floor/Defrost): This setting directs airflow to
the floor ducts and toward the windshield, with some
air diverted toward the outboard outlets to defog the
side windows.


(Floor): This setting directs airflow
through the floor ducts. Some air is diverted
to the windshield and outboard outlets to
minimize fogging.
!~ (Fan): This switch adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up or down arrow to increase or decrease the
fan speed.
(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. Press this button again
to turn off the recirculation feature. If you notice the
windows fogging, turn off the recirculation feature.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode and
will automatically turn off after 10 minutes if
floor/defrost mode is selected.
(Defrost): Press this button to quickly remove
fog or frost from the windshield. This setting sends
most of the airflow to the windshield with a small
amount diverted to the outboard outlets to minimize
fogging. The air conditioning compressor may operate
in this mode.
A/C OFF (Air Conditioning Off): Press this button
to turn off the air conditioning compressor. AC OFF will
appear on the display. Press the button again to turn the
compressor back on. When the compressor is on, the
system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the
vehicle. The compressor cannot be turned off in
defrost mode.
(Driver's Temperature Switch): This switch is used
to adjust the air temperature for the driver's side of the
vehicle. To adjust the temperature, press the up or down
arrow located on the PWR button. The temperature will
increase or decrease with each press of an arrow.
The driver's set temperature is always displayed when
the climate control system is on regardless of whether or
not the system is in AUTO. See ªAutomatic Operationº
later in this section for more information on the
AUTO button.

3-6 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.
While the system is in AUTO, it will use recirculation
as necessary to cool the air.
Defogging and Defrosting
When the mode switch is set for floor/defrost or the
defrost button is pressed, outside air will be selected
automatically. This helps clear the windshield more
quickly. Adjust the temperature and set the fan speed to
the highest setting. When the windshield is clear, adjust
the fan speed for maximum defrosting to a lower setting
or return to AUTO mode.
Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode, and
the air conditioning compressor cannot be turned off in
this mode.
For maximum side window defogging, turn the outboard
outlet thumbwheels to the side window defogger setting.
See ªVentilation Systemº later in this section for more
information on the outlet settings.
Rear Window Defogger
When the rear window defogger is turned on, the rear
window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated to
remove fog from the surface of the glass.
The rear window defogger
button is located on the
climate control panel to the
right of the defrost button.
Press the button to turn on the rear defogger. Press the
button again to turn the system off.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes
unless your vehicle is traveling more than 30 mph
(48 km/h). If further defogging is desired once the
system is off, press the button again. The system will
automatically shut off after five minutes for any cycles
after the initial activation.

3-7
Using the rear window defogger will not cancel
automatic climate control operation.
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.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
Ventilation System
There are five instrument panel outlets, three in the
center and one at each end. The outlets located at each
end of the instrument panel have a feature that the center
air outlets do not. These outlets will have air flowing to
them in all modes, including defrost, when the climate
control system is on.

3-8
You can adjust the direction
of airflow by moving the
knobs in the center of the
outlets and by turning the
thumbwheel at the bottom
of the outlets. You may
choose from the
following positions:
(Side Window Defogger): Turn the thumbwheel
to this symbol on the outboard outlets to use the side
window defogger feature. The air coming through the
outlets will be directed toward the side windows to
prevent fogging.
(Open): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to
open the outlets completely and allow the maximum
amount of air to enter the vehicle. A small amount
of air will still be directed to the side window
defogger setting.
(Closed): Turn the thumbwheel to this symbol to
close the outlets and minimize the amount of air
entering the vehicle.
Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood at the base of the windshield 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 your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, select the
highest fan setting for a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

3-33 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antenna is integrated with your rear
window defogger, located in the rear window. Be sure
that the inside surface of the rear window is not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting. The metallic film
in some tinting materials will interfere with or distort the
incoming radio reception.NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the front windshield or rear window
with a razor blade or anything else that is sharp.
This may damage the grid lines 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.

4-23
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?
