low beam CADILLAC ELDORADO 1997 10.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When REMOTE FLASH LIGHTS appears on the DIC
display, press the yes button to program the parking
lamps to blink once when the lock button on the
RKE
transmitter is pressed and to blink twice when the
unlock button
is pressed. If you don’t want the parking
lamps to blink when using the RKE transmitter, press
the no button.
FEATURE ON will display if REMOTE FLASH
LIGHTS was selected and FEATURE OFF will show if
you answer no.
For a list of the other personalization features available,
see “Memory and Personalization Features” later in
this section.
This personalization feature enables the driver to
program the exterior lamps to
turn on for 20 seconds
or
to remain off when using the RKE transmitter to
unlock your vehicle.
If exterior lighting is selected, the parking lamps,
taillamps, sidemarker lamps, license plate lamps,
low-beam headlamps, etc. will turn on for about
20 seconds or until the ignition key is turned to RUN.
Check the back of the RKE transmitter to verify that the
correct driver is selected before you start programming.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time for about two seconds. Exterior fighting is the third
feature to display. Press the WOWMATION (INFO)
button to “skip” past the first two features -- DOOR
LOCKS IN GEAR and REMOTE FLASH LIGHTS.
When EXT LIGHTS AT UNLOCK appears, a “yes” or
“no” response
is required. Press the TRIP SET (TRIP
RESET) button to answer yes or press the RESET
(INFO RESET) button to indicate a no response.
FEATURE ON displays when a yes response is made
and
FEATURE OFF shows after a no response.
For a list of the other personalization features available,
see
“Memory and Personalization Features” later in
this section.
Your vehicle
may have memory personalization. If it
does, REMOTE RECALL MEMORY will be the fourth
personalization feature to display on the
DIC system.
Memory settings that
have been previously programmed
(HVAC settings, radio preset settings, exterior lighting
choices, remote confirmation choices and programmable
automatic
door 1oc.k choices) can be recalled by using
either the
RICE transmitter or by placing the key in your
vehicle’s ignition.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of
the turn or
lane change.
Raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold
it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it’s released.
If the turn signal is left an, a warning chime will sound
and the
DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about a mile) to remind you to turn it
off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the
turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling
a turn.
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and
then release it to change the
headlamps
from low beam
to high or from high beam
to low. This light on the
instrument panel will be on,
indicating high beam usage.

If the headlamps are either off or in the DRL mode,
the high-beam headlamps will turn
on. They’ll stay
on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the
lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high beam and stay there. Pull the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam.
To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward you.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will
turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
When the twilight sentinel switch
is
on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go
off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will
take over for the DRL.
If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control
is off, a I!DMDLMS SUGGESTED message
will display on the
DTC. This message informs the driver
that turning on
the exterior lamps is recommended even
though the DIU are still illuminated (it’s become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning
on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch or
the fog lamp switch will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DWL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel
switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the Dm. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp
system when you need it.
Use the fog lamps for better
vision
in foggy or misty
conditions. When you press
the fog lamp button, a small
indicator light will tell you
that
the fog lamps and the
parking lamps are on. Press
the button again to
turn
them off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps, the fog
lamps will turn off. They’ll
turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
?%%en
the twilight sentinel is on and the fog lamp switch
is activated, the fog lamps will remain on as well as the
headlamps and parking lamps.
s
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking
lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light
for cornering.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see
the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What you
do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise
to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have less trouble adjusting to night. But
if you’re
driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they also make
a lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps.
It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn’t lower the high beams, or
a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps),
slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps. Keep your windshield and all the
glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of
the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making
the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light
up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that
way, it’s easier to pick out dlmly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim,
SO should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware
of it.

compartment fuse block
on the driver’s side of the
engine. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your vehicle
serviced by your Cadillac dealer immediately.
