Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside
of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that
is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid. The repairs wouldn’t be
covered by your warranty.
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 audlo 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.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR or MN until the time display begins
to change. Release the button as you get close to the
correct time. The time may be set anytime the clock is
displayed. There is a two-second delay before the clock
goes into time-set mode.
AM-FM Stereo with Cassette Tape Player
Playing the Radio
PWRNOL: Press this knob lightly to turn the system
on. Press the knob again to turn the system off. To
increase volume, turn the knob to
the right. Turn it to the
left to decrease volume. The volume level will appear
on the display.
DSPL: Press this button to display the radio station
being played.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the PTY display is on, press SEEK and SCAN to
find radio stations of the PTY you want to listen to. The
last PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA
are on, the radio will search for stations with traffic
announcements and the selected
PTY.
PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite Program Types (PTYs).
These buttons have factory PTY presets.
See “Radio
Data Systems (RDS) Program Type (PTY) Selections”
in the Index. You can set up to
12 PTYs (six FMl and
six FM2). Just:
1. Turn PTY on.
2. Press BAND to select
FMl or FM2.
3. Tune an RDS station with the PTY you desire.
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 PWRNOL knob to the right.
Turn it to the left 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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you need to reduce your speed as you approach a
curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust your speed
so you can “drive” through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until you are out of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly
pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from
between parked cars and stops right in front of you.
You can avoid these problems by braking
-- if you
can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t
room. That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering
around the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes. (See “Braking
in
Emergencies” earlier in this section.) It is better to
remove as much speed as you can from a possible
collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left or
right depending on the space available. An
emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions, you can
turn it a full
180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.

cap when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is
no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise until it first stops. (Don’t press
down while turning the pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the pressure cap slowly, and
remove it.

of your vehicle.
To use this feature,
your vehicle must be in
PARK
(P). Press the
FUEL DOOR unlock
button located on the instrument panel center
console to unlock and open
the fuel door.
You can
also press the fuel button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter to access the fuel cap.
A
Your vehicle may or may not have a tethered fuel cap.
Hang the fuel cap inside the fuel door
as shown by
the arrow.
To remove the cap, turn
it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let
go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you
if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly. This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Vehicle” in the Index. When
YOU put
the cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make sure
YOU fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can
determine
if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
NOTICE:
If you need a new cap, be sure to get the right
type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get
the wrong type,
it may not fit properly. This may
cause your malfunction indicator lamp to light
and your fuel tank and emissions system may be
damaged. See “Malfunction Indicator Lamp” in
the Index.
