2010 CADILLAC DTS length

The manufacturer’s instructions that come with thebooster seat, state the weight and height limitations forthat booster. Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulderbelt until the child passes the below fit test:
•Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the knees bend
at the seat edge? If yes, continue. If no, return tothe booster seat.
•Buckle the lap-shoulder belt. Does the shoulder belt
rest on the shoulder? If yes, continue. If no, tryusing the rear safety belt comfort guide. See “RearSafety Belt Comfort Guides” underLap-ShoulderBelt on page 2-26for more information. If theshoulder belt still does not rest on the shoulder,then return to the booster seat.
•Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the hips,
touching the thighs? If yes, continue. If no, return tothe booster seat.
•Can proper safety belt fit be maintained for
length of trip? If yes, continue. If no, return to thebooster seat.
If you have the choice, a child should sit in a positionwith a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint ashoulder belt can provide.
Q:What is the proper way to wear safety belts?
A:An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can
provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face
or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies
belt force to the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
It should never be worn over the abdomen, which
could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in
a crash.
Also see “Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides” underLap-Shoulder Belt on page 2-26.
According to accident statistics, children and infants aresafer when properly restrained in the rear seatingpositions than in the front seating positions.
In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strikeother people who are buckled up, or can be thrownout of the vehicle. Older children need to use safetybelts properly.

Engine Coolant Heater
The engine coolant heater can provide easier startingand better fuel economy during engine warm-up in coldweather conditions at or below 0°F (!18°C). Vehicleswith an engine coolant heater should be pluggedin at least four hours before starting.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
The electrical cord is located on the driver sideof the engine, behind the transmission dipstick/fluidfill location and next to the engine.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
{WARNING:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could
cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of
extension cord could overheat and cause a fire.
You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into
a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt AC
outlet. If the cord will not reach, use a heavy-duty
three-prong extension cord rated for at least
15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug andstore the cord as it was before to keep it awayfrom moving engine parts and prevent damage.
The length of time the heater should remain plugged independs on several factors. Ask a dealer/retailer inthe area where you will be parking the vehicle for thebest advice on this.

Automatic Operation
AUTO9(Automatic Fan):When this position is
selected on the fan control, the system adjusts the fanspeed. If the OnStar®system is activated when thisposition is selected, the climate control fan speedwill lower.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position.
2. Turn the mode control to the AUTO position.
3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable settingbetween 21°C (68°F) and 26°C (78°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature settingwill not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fanspeeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle untilwarmer air is available. The system starts outblowing air at the floor but may change modesautomatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain thechosen temperature setting. The length of timeneeded to warm the interior depends on the outsidetemperature and temperature of the vehicle.
4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize inorder for the system to regulate automatically. Thenadjust the temperature as necessary to find yourcomfort setting.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center ofthe instrument panel near the windshield. For moreinformation on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later inthis section.
After the vehicle is started, the display shows the interiortemperature settings and the outside temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or modecontrol, the system automatically controls the airconditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will runautomatically even at cool outside temperatures in orderto dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator light is lit whenthe system is operating automatically, even at near
freezing outside temperatures. Press#on the fan
control to turn off the A/C. For improved window clearingperformance in defog or defrost modes, the A/Ccompressor runs automatically.
h(AUTO RECIRCULATION):If the AUTO position
is selected on either the fan or mode control, thesystem automatically controls the air inlet to supplyfresh outside air or recirculate the interior air to cool thecar faster. The light on the recirculation button willcome on when the system changes to recirculation.
Outside air can be forced by pressinghwhen
the light is lit. For vehicles without rear climate controls,
press:to force outside air. The next time AUTO
fan or mode is selected, the air inlet will reset back toAUTO operation.

•Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension
(other file extensions might not work).
•Minimize the length of the file, folder or playlist
names. Long file, folder, or playlist names, or acombination of a large number of files and folders,or playlists can cause the player to be unable toplay up to the maximum number of files, folders,playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play alarge number of files, folders, playlists, or sessions,minimize the length of the file, folder, or playlistname. Long names also take up more space on thedisplay, potentially getting cut off.
•Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the discnot to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using theScandcT
folder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK arrows. An
MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded using nofile folders can also be played. If a CD-R or CD-RWcontains more than the maximum of 50 folders,50 playlists, and 255 files, the player lets you accessand navigate up to the maximum, but all items over themaximum cannot be accessed.
Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R or CD-RW is treated asa folder. If the root directory has compressed audiofiles, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All filescontained directly under the root directory are accessedprior to any root directory folders. However, playlists(Px) are always accessed before root folders or files.
Empty Directory or Folder
If a root directory or a folder exists somewhere in thefile structure that contains only folders/subfolders and nocompressed files directly beneath them, the playeradvances to the next folder in the file structurethat contains compressed audio files. The empty folderdoes not display.
No Folder
When the CD contains only compressed files, the filesare located under the root folder. The next and previousfolder functions do not display on a CD that wasrecorded without folders or playlists. When displayingthe name of the folder the radio displays ROOT.
When the CD contains only playlists and compressedaudio files, but no folders, all files are located under theroot folder. The folder down and the folder up buttonssearch playlists (Px) first and then goes to the rootfolder. When the radio displays the name of the folderthe radio displays ROOT.
