Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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

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.
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
in the
display when the system is off.
DEFOG: Press this 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.
AUTOECON: 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 on it 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
warm, 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
arrow 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 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.
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.
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.
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTOECON 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.
If you have the analog cluster climate control panel,
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heating
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the AUTOECON button to direct airflow 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.
If you have the analog cluster climate control panel,
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.
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.
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 to the rear seats can be adjusted
if you have the optional full console. Move the fan lever
to adjust the blower speed from
LO to HI. Move the

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.
