2004 CADILLAC SEVILLE climate control

TRACTION SUSPENDED – 56:This message displays
when the traction control system has been temporarily
shut off because your vehicle’s brakes have overheated.
This message does not indicate a problem with your
vehicle’s traction control system. After a few minutes,
the traction control system will be available again
and the TRACTION READY message will appear.
TRANS HOT IDLE ENGINE – 112:This message
indicates that the transaxle fluid in your vehicle is too
hot. Stop and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools
down or until this message is removed.
TRUNK OPEN – 24:This message indicates that the
trunk is open when the ignition is on.
TURN SIGNAL ON – 20:If you drive your vehicle for
more than a mile with a turn signal on, this message will
appear as a reminder to turn off the turn signal. A
multiple chime will sound when this message is
displayed.
VEHICLE OVERSPEED – 52:This message is
displayed when the vehicle speed exceeds a certain
limit as required by some export countries. A continuous
chime will sound when this message is displayed.Climate Controls and Radio System
Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, seeClimate Controls
Personalization on page 3-36andRadio Personalization
with Home and Away Feature on page 3-98.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For
more information on the DIC, seeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-55.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first started after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is
to allow the air surrounding the outside temperature
sensor to be as close to the actual outside conditions as
possible. This is determined by how much time has
elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by
vehicle speed.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle is equipped with personalization capabilities
that allows you to program certain features to a preferred
setting for up to two people. The number of
programmable features varies depending upon which
model of the vehicle is purchased. On all vehicles,
features such as climate control settings, radio preset
settings, exterior lighting at unlock, remote lock and
unlock confirmation, and automatic door locks have
already been programmed for your convenience. Some
vehicles are equipped with additional features that can be
programmed including the seat position, steering column
position (if equipped) and outside mirror position. The
navigation screen preferences (if equipped) will remain at
the last set position.
If your vehicle is equipped with the ability to program
additional personalization features, the driver’s
preferences are recalled by pressing the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or by pressing
the appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s door. Certain features can be programmed
not to recall until the key is placed in the ignition.
To change feature preferences you must use one of the
following procedures.
Entering Feature Programming
To enter feature programming mode, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ON, making sure the vehicle is in
PARK (P).
2. If your vehicle has memory settings, press the
appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s door panel. The DIC display will show
either 1 or 2 depending on which button was
selected. Make sure the number on the DIC display
matches the number on the back of your key fob.
3. Press the INFO button until FEATURE
PROGRAMMING appears on the DIC display.
4. Press the ON/OFF button to enter FEATURE
PROGRAMMING.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
Quality grades can be found where applicable on the
tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
The following information relates to the system
developed by the United States National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, which grades tires by
treadwear, traction and temperature performance. (This
applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.)
The grades are molded on the sidewalls of most
passenger car tires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading
system does not apply to deep tread, winter-type
snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare tires,
tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches
(25 to 30 cm), or to some limited-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors passenger
cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these
grades, they must also conform to federal safety
requirements and additional General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and
a half (1.5) times as well on the government course as
a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and climate.
Traction – AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,
B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability
to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance. Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
