This message will appear when your engine has overheated. Stop and
turn your engine off immediately to avoid severe engine damage. See
“Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON - 03
This message will appear if there is a problem with your Emission
Control System. If the “SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light on the
instrument panel and this message appears and then turns
off, it is an
indication that a temporary problem has cleared itself. Have your vehicle
checked at your earliest convenience.
STOP ENGINE LOW OIL PRESSURE - 35
If this message appears while the engine is running, stop the engine and
do not operate it until the cause of low oil pressure is corrected. Severe
damage to the engine can result.
SERVICE AIR BAG SYSTEM - 83
If this message appears, there is a problem with your Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (Air Bag) system. Let only a qualified technician
work
on your vehicle. See your Cadillac dealer for service at once.
THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM/CAR MAY NOT RESTART - 34
This message means there is a problem in the Personalized Automotive
Security System (PASS Key@ 11). PASS Key@ I1
will prevent the vehicle
from restarting
if it is turned off, so you should take the vehicle to a
proper service center before turning the engine
off. Never leave an
unattended vehicle with the engine running. Once you are where you can
get service, turn the engine off and then try to restart it. If
the vehicle
does not restart, the PASS Key@ I1 system will need servicing.
TRACTION ACTIVE - 91
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control, this message will be
displayed if Traction Control is being used to reduce wheel slippage.
TRACTION DISABLED - 88
If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control, this message will be

if a problem is noted in the Traction Control System. Have your
vehicle serviced as soon as possible.

Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It’s based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see
the display,
press the Information
button several times until
“XXX OIL LIFE
LEFT” appears.
You’ll see
now much oil life you have left, as a percentage. So, if you see
“95 OIL LIFE LEFT,’’ for example, that means that the way you’re
driving your car,
95% of your current oil life is still left.
The Oil Life Indicator may
say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule.
This can happen if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil
life. Always keep a written
record of the mileage and date
when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see
the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
If you see “CHANGE OIL SOON,”
it means that you have less than 10%
of your oil life left, and you should consider changing your engine oil.
If you see “CHANGE ENGINE
OIL,” it means the oil life is gone
and you should change the oil right away (certainly
within 200 more
miles
[320 km]).

The system probably will say. to change .& d between ,3000 miles
(5000 km) and ,7500 *miles. (125OO km), but it may even sary to change it
before
3000 under very severe conditions. It all depends on .your drivirrg
pattims.
If it’s been 7500 miles (12500 km) it,always says to’ change the oil.
There are two.thingslhe system doesn?t do:
0 It can’t sense. heavy dust in the.places where you- drive. If you -drive in
a dusty area, you should change your
oil -every 3000 miles (5000 km)
or 3 months (whichever comes first), unless the display says to chinge
it even sooner than that.

It doesn’t check how much oil you have, so you’ll still have to check
for that. To see how, see “Engine Oil.’’ in the Index.

Electronic Level .Control

the ignition off, you may hear the level control exhausting. The,system
consists
of an electronic rear position sensor, a smalldectric air
compressor, and air adjustable
SI kabsorbers mounted on the rear of
the vehicle.
If the system has .a slight leak, the air compressor will run frequently for a
few seconds each time.
i For a massive air leak, the air ‘compressor will stay on for. approximately
7 minutes. You should see your.deal.er for service, but.you can keep

You can select temperatures from 65 "F (18°C) to 85°F (29°C). And, at
each end, you may choose
60 " F (16 " C), for maximum cooling, and 90" F
(33 " C), for maximum heating. We recommend when first getting familiar
with your vehicle, select
75 " F (24 " C). You may find that your own personal
comfort requires a slightly higher or lower setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system will automatically maintain the set temperature.

,.
ECON
With this setting it's all automatic, but the air conditioning compressor
does not operate and it won't remove humidity from the air. However,
the system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature. Use this
setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel.
If it's warm outside and you need to cool the air, use the next choice.
AUTO
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to -_
cool the air and it's all automatic. In cold weather when the system senses
the need for heat,
the air flow will be directed out the floor ducts. As the
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed
will decrease and the air
flow could be directed through the defroster and
floor ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the air flow may move to the air
outlets and floor ducts (Bi-level). On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the air
flow could even come out the A/C outlets to maintain comfort and --
prevent stuffiness.

A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a few seconds. That is
normal. This is to
expel hot -air in the air ducts. As the air is cooled, the
flow will move through the A/C outlets.
If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on “HI” it will skip the A/C Purge.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turnea on, in either the AUTO’br..

will flow through the defroster duct while- the system is waiting for the
engine coolant to warm up enough to provide heat. This prevents your
breath from fogging your windshield. As the coolant warms up, the
blower fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater
outlets, with some air bleed to the windshield to prevent fogging under
most normal conditions.
..
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
There may be times when you don’t want air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside only in either “AUTO” or “ECON”
setting, just set the temperature to
60 F (16 C) and adjust your fan
speed, if the air quantity is too high.
DEFOG
Push this button to divide the air between the windshield and the heater
ducts.
This is useful when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due
to a sudden rain or snowy conditions.
Fan Speeds
Push the (symbol) button
until “AUTO” is displayed on the screen. At this

controlled automatically.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan
speed right away. The system checksthe temperature
of the coolant to
assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the coolant is warm, the

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine controler will allow the fan to ramp up to a higher speed. This prevents
cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fan to run only at a fixed high speed, push the
(upper) 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, just push the buttons until “HI/AUTO”
is shown
on the display.
If you want the blower to run only at a fixed low speed, push the (low)
button until
“LO” is shown on the display. I
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the “AUTO” setting, push the -
button until “AUTO LO” is shown on the display.
DEFROSTER
-1
Push this button to
remove fog
or frost from
the windshield.
This setting sends most
of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the
floor outlets. In some cold start conditions, the “AUTO”
blower fan speed may be limited until the cooling system warms up. This
is normal to prevent windshield fogging.

The fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature.
If you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.

It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the -
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).

With it,
your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after
