Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first
sold
in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed in English.
A/C OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION - 16: This
message displays when the engine coolant becomes
hotter than the normal operating temperature. To avoid
added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned
off so that air
conditioned air
is not delivered. If the coolant
temperature returns
to normal, you must select AC to
return to a normal
A/C compressor operation. If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46: This message will
appear if your vehicle is in PARK (P) for about 15 seconds
and the brake is not pressed
in. Remove the message by
holding the
OFF and the blue (cooler) button on the
Electronic Climate Control panel for about five seconds. Hold
the same two buttons again to redisplay the message.
BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07: This message will
appear
if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at
your earliest convenience.

Trip Computer
Road Sensing Suspension
The Road Sensing Suspension (RSS)(DeVille) and the Continuous Variable-Road Sensing Suspension
(CV-RSS)(Concours) automatically adjust the ride of
your vehicle, with the
CV-RSS having a wider range of
control. Automatic ride control is achieved through the
RSS controller, a computer used to control and monitor
the suspension system. The controller receives inputs
from various sensors to determine the proper system
response.
If the controller detects a problem within the
system, the DIC
will display a SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL message. If this message appears, have
your vehicle serviced at your Cadillac dealership.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fan Button
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.
Temperature Button
The red and blue temperature buttons adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Press the blue
button for a eooler setting or the red button for a warmer setting. The outside temperature is always displayed
when your vehicle is running.
You can change it from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the
ENGNET
(English/metric) button on the DIC.
Mode Controls
The AUTO/ECON button automatically controls the
direction
of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for AUTO, 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.
To find your comfort zone, start with 75°F (24°C)
setting, allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons 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 this 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 A/C outlets (A/C mode) to maintain
comfort and prevent stuffiness.

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.
