Headlamps
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately
20 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must be in the on position. This feature
lights the way in poor weather and it also makes your
vehicle more visible to other drivers.
If the wiper
activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch is
turned off, the wiper activated headlamps will
immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate
if you
turn off the twilight sentinel or
if the windshield wipers
have been turned off for a period of one or two seconds.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Twilight Sentinei Light Sensor
The control is next to the
headlamp knob. It
automatically switches the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark it
is outside.
To operate the twilight sentinel, leave the lamp knob
off and move the TWILIGHT control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned to the
OFF or LOCK
position.
If you move the control so it is just on, the
lamps will go off quickly when you turn the ignition
switch out
of RUN. You can adjust the delay time from
only a few seconds to three minutes. The light sensor for the DRL and the twilight sentinel
is
located in the center
ofthe front defogger grille. If you cover
the sensor,
it will read "dark" and the lamps will come on.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps will turn off approximately
10 minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK or ACC,
if the manual park lamp control is on. This protects
draining the battery in case
you have left the headlamps
or parking lamps on. Use the control knob to turn the
lamps back
on indefinitely. (The control knob must be
cycled
off and then on to turn the lamps back on.) To
delay the lamps from turning off. see "Twilight
Sentinel" earlier
in this section.

0
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
outlets 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.
I
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. 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.
