CADILLAC DEVILLE 1996 7.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine DEFOG: Press thl's button to divide the air between the
windshield and
the heater outlets. This is useful when
fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to
sudden rain or snowy conditions. This feature is not
available with the heated windshield option.
AUTO/ECON: Press this button to switch between
AUTO and ECON. The ECON setting attempts to keep
air at a selected temperature, however, it does not
remove humidity from the air. Use this setting in cold
or
cool weather to save fuel. The AUTO setting is used
when it's warm outside and you need
to cool the air in
order to maintain a selected temperature and blower
speed.
FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan
symbol until AUTO is displayed on the screen. At this
setting, the fan speed
is automatically 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
wm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase
to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing
into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower
fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button until you
see HI
on the display. If you want the fan speed to be
automatic, but
you like the fan speed to be higher than
the
AUTO setting, press the fan symbol button until HI
AUTO
is shown on the display. If you want the blower
fan at a
low speed, press the down mow button until
LO is shown on the display. If you want the fan speed to
run lower than the
AUTO setting, press the button until
AUTO LO is shown on the display.
9 DEFROST: Press this button to quickly remove
fog or frost from the windshield.
This setting sends most
of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Solar Sensor
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 to
automatically
make the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your
comfort.
Air Conditioning
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
AUTO/ECON button to assist in cooling air
and in maintaining proper airflow. Adjust the
temperature
to a comfortable setting by pressing the
blue button to cool your vehicle
and pressing the red
button to
warm your vehicle. Press the fan button arrows
up or down
to adjust the fan speed.
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.

rress the AUTOECON button to direct airflow out
of the floor outlets and to help save fuel. Adjust the
temperature, if necessary, by pressing the blue button
to decrease temperature and pressing the red button
to
increase temperature. Also remember to adjust the fan
speed by pressing the up or down arrow.
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep your windows
closed while using it.
Ventilation System
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.
.I . .
....,.
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.

c
The direction of airflow to the rear seats can also be
adjusted. Move the center lever to direct airflow toward
the upper or floor outlets. To direct aifflow from side to
side, move the lever located in the center
of each vent to
the right or left.
e 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 ducts 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.
Heated Windshield (Option)
The heated windshield will remove ice or frost in cold
weather.
1. Remove snow that is piled up on the windshield.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in PARK (P).
3. Press the DE-ICE button. A light will come on to
tell
you it is working. Try not to use other electrical
equipment while the system is working.
3-7

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system will go off after a four-minute heating cycle.
If you shift out of
PARK (P), the system will only cycle
for
two minutes. If you want it to cycle again, press the
button. It will
go on for two-minute cycles after that. If
the windshield has cleared before the cycle is over, you
can turn it off by pressing the button again.
Use the defroster feature
to clear fog from the
windshield as previously described.
There is a metal film in the windshield which will block
out some radio or microwave signals. Therefore, the
heated windshield will reduce the useful range of
devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states, radar detectors are legal.)
Do not use the DE-ICE button if your vehicle has a
cracked windshield.
A crack will not allow the system to
function properly. Have the windshield repaired before
using the DE-ICE button again.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to
remove
fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid
or cold conditions.
7
Press the DEFOG or DE-ICE button and adjust the fan
speed by pressing the fan button up or down. If you use
DEFROST, adjust
the fan speed the same way. If you
select DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control
the
fan speed. The temperature will also need to be
adjusted to your comfort level. Press the blue button to
decrease the temperature and the red button to increase the temperature.
Note that recirculation is not available
in the defrost or
defog modes.
