2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV climate control

Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and
off. When air conditioning is selected, an indicator
light will come on to let you know that the air
conditioning has been activated.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool for air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator ash three times and
then turn off indicating the air conditioning mode
is not available. If the air conditioning is on and the
outside temperature drops below a temperature
which is too cool for air conditioning to be effective,
the air conditioning light will turn off to let you
know the air conditioning mode has been
canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also
helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle
while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the
cool window glass. This can be minimized if the
climate control system is used properly. There
are two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Use the mode up and down arrows to select the
defog or defrost modes.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):This mode directs a portion of the
air to the windshield and side window vents and
some to the oor vents. In this mode, the system
will automatically force outside air into your vehicle.

Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System and Electronic Climate
Controls
The rear heat and air conditioning controls are
part of the rear seat audio controls located in the
center console. The system can be controlled
from the front controls as well as the rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX button on
the front climate control system, an indicator will be
lit. Pressing the AUX button the rst time will
turn the rear system on in a mimic mode. In this
mode, the airow in the rear will be approximately
the same direction, temperature, and fan speed
as the front. Pressing the AUX button again
will turn the rear system and the indicator off.
If the rear controls are adjusted, the system will
enter a rear independent mode. Airow in the rear
will then be directed according to the settings of
rear controls. The rear system can be turned off
by pressing the AUX button on the front climate
control system and the indicator will turn off.
If the indicator in the front AUX button is off, the
rear system is off.

Automatic Operation
N(Mode):Press the mode button until the
AUTO setting is selected to control the inside
temperature, the air delivery, and the fan speed.
AUTO will illuminate in the display when automatic
operation is active.
+/−(Increase/Decrease Temperature):Press the
+or−buttons to increase or decrease the cabin
temperature. The rear control temperature
display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing.
The display will only indicate climate control
functions when the system is in rear
independent mode.
Manual Operation
y9 z(Fan):The fan buttons on the rear
seat audio control panel allows you to manually
adjust the fan speed. To decrease airow,
press the button with the fan and down arrow
symbol. Pressing the fan up button when
the system is off will turn the system on. The air
delivery mode will remain under automatic control.
To turn the rear system off, keep pressing the
button with the fan and down arrow symbol.
+/−(Increase/Decrease Temperature):These
buttons select the temperature of the air owing into
the passenger area. Press the + button for warmer
air and press the−button for cooler air.
N(Mode):Press the mode button to manually
change the direction of the airow in your vehicle.
Repeatedly press the button until the desired
mode appears on the display. Multiple presses will
cycle through the delivery selections.

Always leave just enough slack so you can turn
with your rig. Never allow safety chains to drag on
the ground.
Trailer Brakes
If your trailer weighs more than 2,000 lbs (900 kg)
loaded, then it needs its own brakes — and
they must be adequate. Be sure to read and follow
the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll be
able to install, adjust and maintain them properly.
Since your vehicle is equipped with StabiliTrak
®,
your trailer brake system cannot tap into the
vehicle’s hydraulic brake system.
Driving with a Trailer
{CAUTION:
If you have a rear-most window open
and you pull a trailer with your vehicle,
carbon monoxide (CO) could come into
your vehicle. You can not see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness or
death. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 155.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
To maximize your safety when towing a
trailer:
Have your exhaust system inspected
for leaks, and make necessary repairs
before starting on your trip.
Keep the rear-most windows closed.
If exhaust does come into your vehicle
through a window in the rear or
another opening, drive with your front,
main heating or cooling system on
and with the fan on any speed. This
will bring fresh, outside air into your
vehicle. Do not use the climate control
setting for maximum air because it
only recirculates the air inside your
vehicle. SeeDual Automatic Climate
Control System on page 220.
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of
experience. Before setting out for the open road,
you’ll want to get to know your rig.

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 specied
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 signicantly 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 specied 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.
Temperature – A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on a
specied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the tire
to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under
the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels
of performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning:The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly inated
and not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underination, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
