PARK (P), the system will only cyclc for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again? press the switch. It will go on for two-minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pressing the switch again.
Use
the defroster or defog features of the Electronic Climate Control to
clear fog from the windshield as previously described. In warm weather
the heated windshield system helps keep the vehicle's interior cool by
blocking much of the sun's heat producing radiation. The system's solar
control properties
also help reduce intcrior fading.
There
is a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore,
the hcated windshield will reduce the
useful range of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)

FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, however, FM signals will only
rclich about 10 to 40 miles ( 16 to 65 km), Ell1 buildings or hills may
interfere with
FM signals causing sounds to fade and may also cause
popping. crackling
or momentary hissing noises.
Y
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer
range, however, can cause stations to interfere with
each other. (FCC regdations require some AM radio stations to reduce
signal strength
at nieh to mhimize interference.) AM can pick up noise
from things like
stohs and powcr lines. Try reciucing the treble to reduce
this noise if you ever gct it.

A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced sound
quality,
ruined cassettes or a damaged mechanism. Cassette tapes should
be stored in their cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme
heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate properly or cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape plaver should be cleaned regularly each month
or after every
SO hours of &e. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good cassette to see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette bas no improvement
in sound quality, clean the tape player.
Cleaning may
be done with a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette.’This system uses a cleaning cassette
with pads which scrub the
tape head
as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is normal for the
cartridge to eject while cleaning. Insert the cassette
at least three times to
ensure thorough cleaning. A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available tllrough your Cadillac dealership.
You ma!’ also choose a nan-scrubbing action. wet-type cleaner which uses
a cassetie with a fabric belt to clean the tape head.This tvpe of cleaning
cassette
will not e-iect. It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type
cleaner.
Cassette tapes are subject to wear and
the sound quality may degrade
over time. Always
make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition
before you have your tape player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases or other
protective cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. If the surface of
a
disc is soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent
solution and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling discs. Pick up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole and the outer
edge.
