Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which RKE transmitter
(“l”
or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the
back of the RKE transmitter corresponds to driver
1 or
to driver
2. After the unlock button is pressed on the
RISE transmitter or the ignition key is placed in the
ignition (the ignition must be turned to LOCK), the climate control settings will automatically adjust to
where they were last set. The settings can also be
changed by briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1
or 2 located on the driver’s door.
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 audio 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.

DSP: The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) feature is

and equalization for the driver seat. DRIVER SEAT
can be used at any time for any material. Other
passengers in the vehicle may not perceive the
same effect.
0 LIVE: This setting is used to imitate the sound of a
live performance.

VO1 ME: Press the up
arrow lever to increase
volume and the down arrow
lever to decrease volume.
SELECT: When listening to the radio, press the up or
down arrow lever to tune to the next or previous radio
station (factory presets which have not been
reprogrammed with your stations will be ignored).
When listening to a cassette tape, the up or down mow
lever can be used to
SEEK forward and rearward
through the tape. Pressing the up or down arrow lever
when listening
to a CD will cause the player to go to the
next or previous selection.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
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. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions
by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Your vehicle was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have to have new ones put in
-- be sure
you get new approved
GM replacement parts. If you
don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
-- for the worse. The braking
performance you’ve come
to expect can change in many
other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement
brake parts.
Battery
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one
of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from
the battery.
This will help keep your battery from
running down.
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips
on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
