2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT window

Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the
vehicle is driven outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust the
compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
If the mirror is not adjusted to account for zone
changes, the compass could give false readings.
To adjust for zone changes, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button
approximately six seconds until a zone
number appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the “auto highbeam” button quickly until
you reach the correct zone number. Stop
pressing the button and the mirror will return to
normal operation. If C appears in the compass
window, the compass needs calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.

Compass Calibration
The compass may need calibration if one of the
following occurs:
After approximately ve seconds, the display
does not show a compass heading, N for
North, for example, there may be a strong
magnetic eld interfering with the compass.
Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad
holder, or a similar magnetic item.
The compass does not display the correct
heading and the compass zone variance
is set correctly.In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the
mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed,
push the on/off button for approximately
12 seconds or until CAL is displayed.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
Cleaning the Mirror
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.

Heated Mirrors
The button to turn the heated mirrors on or off is
located on the climate control panel. Press
this button to warm the driver’s and passenger’s
outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of
ice, snow, and condensation.
See “Rear Window Defogger” underDual
Automatic Climate Control System on page 219
for more information.
Convex Mirror
{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.
The passenger’s side mirror may have convex
glass. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more
can be seen from the driver’s seat.
Your vehicle has a turn signal indicator on the
mirror. An arrow on the mirror will ash in
the direction of the turn or lane change.
151

Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
L(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of the
multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on the
windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed.
Heated Windshield Washer
If your vehicle has the heated windshield washer
uid system it may be used to help clear ice,
snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield.The button is located in
the switchbank under
the climate controls.
Push the heated washer uid button to activate
the heated windshield washer uid system.
The indicator light will ash. This activation will
initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles. The
rst heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on outside
temperature. After the rst wash/wipe cycle, it may
take up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining
cycles to begin. Press the button again to turn
off the heated windshield washer uid system or it
will automatically turn off after four wipe cycles
have been completed.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.

The URPA display is
located above the rear
window towards the
center of the vehicle
and can be seen
by looking over your
right shoulder.
The URPA display has three color-coded lights.
The lights are used to provide distance and system
information, along with beeps that will be heard
through the speakers.
URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear park
aid disable button
located next to the radio.
The indicator light will
come on to indicate that
URPA is off.The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a Driver Information Center (DIC), PARKING
ASSIST OFF will display on the screen. URPA
automatically turns back on each time the vehicle
is started.
How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R).
The system does not work at a reverse speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this,
the red light on the rear display will ash.

H(Vent):This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode allows for split air to
the instrument panel outlets and to the oor
outlets. The ow can be divided between vent and
oor outlets depending upon where the knob is
placed between the settings. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window vents.
Cooler air is directed to the upper vents and
warmer air to the oor vents.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air
to the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the
system will automatically select Outside Air.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
odors from entering your vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with
oor, defrost, or defogging modes.
If you try to select recirculation in one of those
modes, the indicator will ash three times and turn
off. The air conditioning compressor will also
come on when this mode is activated. While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the
fog, select either the blend or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed. Recirculation mode can
be turned off by pressing the button again, or
turning off the engine.

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.If your vehicle has heated seats or heated and
cooled seats, seeHeated Seats on page 10
orHeated and Cooled Seats on page 11.
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.
