Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system
uses ozone
-friendly R-134a refrigerant.
With the ECC system, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.

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

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

Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some
audio controls. See ªAudio
Steering Wheel Controlsº in
the index.
FAN SPEED: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the fan speed and the down arrow lever to decrease
fan speed.TEMP: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the temperature and the down arrow lever to

This feature allows both driver's (driver 1 or 2 depending
on the number on the back of your remote keyless entry
transmitter) to personalize their own climate control
settings. For more information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.
Audio Systems
Your Cadillac audio system has been designed to operate
easily and give years of listening pleasure. You will get
the most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself
with it first. Find out what your audio system can do
and how to operate all its controls, to be sure you're
getting the most out of the advanced engineering that
went into it.

PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite stations. You can set up to
18 stations (six AM, six FM1 and six FM2). Just:
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Press BAND to select AM, FM1 or FM2.
3. Tune in the desired station.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons for
more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
Whenever you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the station you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your radio presets because the
radio remembers them.
PRESET SCAN: Press and hold SCAN for two to three
seconds until PRESET SCAN appears on the display to
listen to each of your preset stations for a few seconds
(factory presets which have not been reprogrammed with
your stations will be ignored). The radio will go to the first
preset station stored on your pushbuttons, stop for a few
seconds, then go on to the next preset station. Press SCAN
again to stop scanning. If a preset station has weak
reception, the radio will not stop at the preset station.Setting the Tone
BASS: Press this knob lightly so it extends. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to
decrease bass.

knob clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to
decrease treble. If a station is weak or noisy, you may
want to decrease the treble.
Push these knobs back into their stored positions when
you're not using them.

4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons for
more than two seconds until you hear a beep.
Whenever you press that numbered button for less
than two seconds, the PTY you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your RDS presets because the
radio remembers them.
HR or MN: Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
by one of these buttons to display the time for the
current station. STATION TIME IS will be displayed. If
a time has not been sent to the radio, NO STATION
TIME will be displayed. If you have recently tuned to
the station, you may need to wait a minute before the
time is available to the radio. To set the clock to the
current displayed station time, press and hold HR or MN
until TIME UPDATED is displayed. There is a two
second delay before the time is updated. RDS mode
does not have to be on to use this function, but you must
be tuned to an FM RDS station.
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or
local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. The radio uses TA
volume during these announcements. To increase volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will
appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it, even
if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or compact disc is
playing. If the radio tunes to a related network station for
an alert announcement, it will return to the original station
when the announcement is finished. If the cassette tape or
compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the
announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.
Setting the Tone
TONE: Press and release this button until the desired
tone control (BASS or TREBLE) is found. The radio
keeps separate tone settings for each band, preset
(except weather band presets) and source.
LEVEL: After selecting the desired tone control, press
the plus (+) or minus (
-) symbol on this button to select
the desired level.
To save the tone settings for your presets, press and hold
the numbered button for the desired preset for more than
two seconds until you hear a beep.

3-27 Radio Personalization with Home and Away
Feature (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the AM-FM Stereo with
Cassette Tape Player and 1 (H or A) or 2 (H or A)
appears in the display when the radio is first turned on,
your vehicle is equipped with this feature. If your
vehicle is equipped with any other audio system and
DRIVER 1 (HOME or AWAY) PRESETS or DRIVER 2
(HOME or AWAY) PRESETS appears in the display
when the radio is first turned on, your vehicle is
equipped with this feature.
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings. The settings
recalled by the radio are determined by which Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was used
to enter the vehicle. The number on the back of the RKE
transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. The
radio settings will automatically adjust to where they
were last set by the identified driver. The settings can
also be recalled by briefly pressing the MEMORY seat
buttons 1 or 2 located on the driver's door.Your radio can store home and away presets. Home and
away presets allow you to use one set of preset radio
settings in the area where you live, and another set when
you go out of town. That way, you will not need to
reprogram your presets every time you travel. With the
radio off and the clock displayed, use FF and RW to
select home or away presets. To select the away presets,
press and hold FF for five counts until you hear a beep.
The next time the radio comes on, the away presets will
be active. To select the home presets, press and hold RW
for five counts until you hear a beep. The next time the
radio comes on, the home presets will be active.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your home radio presets because
the radio remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio presets.
