CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Cadillac. Your vehicle
also has a flow-through ventilation system described
later
in this section. The
button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
The TEMPIAUTO knob adjusts the air temperature
coming through the system. Turn the TEMP/AUTO
knob clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Press
the
TEMWAUTO knob to put the system in the
automatic mode.
With this dual-zone feature, the right front passenger can
control the temperature
of air for hidher own zone. The
passenger can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver's setting.
To turn the system
on, press the PASSTEMP button. Press the up arrow to
increase the temperature and press the down arrow to

The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle
is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLISHMETRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select.
The outside temperature sensor is located near the front
grille. The sensor
can be affected by road or engine heat
during idling.
slow driving or when the engine 1s first
started after a short trip. In order 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. Press this
button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will stay
in the
selected mode
until the MODE button is pushed again.
Press the up or clown arrow to cycle through the
available modes.

When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode.
Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting.
Be careful not
to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle
of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used
by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To-find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary.
If you choose 60°F ( 1 6"C),
the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and will
not regulate fan speed. If you choose the
temperature of
90°F (32'C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system
to heat or cool any faster.
With
the: automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles
when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor
outlets.
As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease.
To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move
to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On
bright
sunny days in cold weather. the airflow may come
out
of the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for
a few seconds. That is normal. This is to
expel hot air from the air outlets. As the air
is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan
until warm air is available.
The length
of delay depends on the outside air
temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time
since the engine was last started.
As the coolant warms
up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the heater outlets, with some airflow
to the windshield to prevent fogging under most
normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time
you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST will change
to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and
then turned back
on.

This setting sends most
of
the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount
to the floor outlets.
3f FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan symbol
on it until AUTO is displayed on the screen. At this
setting. the
Fdn speed is autonratically controlled. If it is
cold outside. the blower may not run in the maximum high
fan speed right away. The system checks the temperature
of the engine coolant
to assure it is warm enough to
provide heat.
When the engine coolant is warrn, the
controller allows the
fan to gradually increase to a higher
speed. This prevznts cold air from blowing into the
passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fdn at a
high speed, press the up arl-ujw button until you see €31 on
the display.

OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Fresh air
will continue to flow through the vehicle, and the
system will try to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will
show on the
display when the system
is OFF.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the display will show
that AC is active,
but the air conditioning compressor
only operates when the system determines it is needed.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when
you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors
entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the system
will use recirculation
as necessary to cool the air.
Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to
turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode. The sensor monitors
the sun’s solar radiation and is
located on top
of the instrument panel near the
windshield. The
ECC system uses this information

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for
the air conditioner to work its best.
Press the
AC button or the TEMP/AUTO knob to turn
the system
on and then select the proper MODE to direct
airflow.
The system will cool and dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle.
Also while in the AUTO mode, the
system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air.
You may also need to adjust the interior temperature and
the fan speed as needed.
When the
air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice
slight changes in your vehicle's engine speed and power.
This is normal because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor
on and off to keep the desired temperature.

Press the MODE button to select heater. Adjust the
interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the
fan speed needs adjusting, press the
up or down arrow.
With each system, outside air will be brought
in and
sent through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level
outlets (depending
on the condition). The heater works
best if you keep your windows closed while using
it.
Your Cadillac's flow-through ventilation system
supplies outside air into the vehicle when it is moving.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets are located in the center and at each
side
of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction
of airflow by moving the center control levers
or
you can stop the airflow by moving the lever located
on each side
of the outlets downward.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The direction of airflow for the rear seats can also be
adjusted if you have the optional full console. Move the
fan lever to- adjust the blower
spe.ed from LQ to HI.
Move the vent lever to direct the airflow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance
of fogging the inside of the windows.
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.
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly
in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the
DEFROST button. If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down. If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning the
TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation is not available in
the defrost or
defog modes.
