The first press of the arrow button will display the
maximum speed and accumulated mileage for the
current day.

Every press of the arrow button after will display the
maximum speed and accumulated mileage for the
previous day.

This feature requires the date and time to be set
correctly. Refer to the setting of day/date/time under
the MENU button explained later in this section.

Pressing the arrow button will display the ratio of
personal trip computer mileage to annual mileage
as a percent.

Pressing the arrow button again will display the ratio
of business trip computer mileage to annual mileage

Ultrasonic Rear Parking
Assist (URPA)
Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist can help you to
determine how close an object is to your rear bumper
within a given area, making parking easier.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
on the passenger's side rear
upper trim panel. It has
three color
-coded lights that
can be seen through the
rearview mirror or by
turning around.
URPA can be disabled by
pressing the URPA on/off
button located near the
climate control system
and radio.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less
than 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system comes on,
the three lights on the display will illuminate to let you
know that the system is working. URPA senses how
close your vehicle is to an object. The distance is
determined by the four ultrasonic sensors located on the
rear bumper. When shifting into REVERSE (R) and an
object is detected, one of the following will occur:

2-98
A chime will sound the first time an object is detected.
URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect
objects that are above the center of the Cadillac crest
badge. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an
object, it must be within operating range.If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer or
trailer hitch ball mount is attached to your vehicle or if a
bicycle or object is on the back of, or hanging out of
your vehicle. The light will continue to flash until the
trailer or the object is removed and your vehicle is
driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h).
It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or the system may not
work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and
driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display
continues to flash red, see your dealer. It may also flash
red if your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a
speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer
or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing
up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to
check for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.
For cleaning instructions, see ªCleaning Your Vehicleº
in the Index.

Comfort Controls
Electronic Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the electronic climate control
panel is used to regulate the fan speed. To manually
increase airflow, move the knob clockwise. To manually
decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.
OFF: If the knob is in OFF, outside air will still enter
the vehicle, and will be directed based on the position of
the mode knob.
AUTO: If the knob is in AUTO, the fan speed will vary
as the system maintains the selected temperature.
When both the fan knob and mode knob are in the AUTO
position, the system will then automatically maintain the
desired cabin temperature as selected by the temperature
knob. Manual operation is also available.Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel is used to select
the desired air temperature in your vehicle. This knob
will allow you to adjust the interior air temperature
independent of the mode knob setting. Move the knob
clockwise toward 82 for warmer air. Move the knob
counterclockwise toward 66 for cooler air. When the
system is set for automatic operation, sensors will
control the fan speed.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past 82, the
system will go into the ªfull hotº mode. The system will
remain at that maximum heating setting and the fan will
blow at the speed to which the fan knob is set. If the fan
is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.
Full Cold: If you turn the temperature knob past 66, the
system will go into the ªfull coldº mode. The system
will remain at that maximum cooling setting and the fan
will blow at the speed to which the fan knob is set. If the
fan is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.

3-3
Mode Knob - Automatic Operation
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery. When the system is
set in AUTO mode, sensors will control the air delivery
mode. Air will come primarily from the floor or
instrument panel outlets, with some air directed to the
windshield to prevent fogging.
When the system is in AUTO mode, the air conditioning
light will turn on, and the recirculation and outside air
lights turn off. With the system in full auto control
(both the fan and mode knobs in AUTO), you still
have the ability to override any function. However,
continually overriding the outside air or the A/C
compressor will limit the ability of the system to cool
the vehicle quickly.
If you push a button for a function which is not
available, the light next to that button will flash
three times to alert you that it's not available.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 74 setting
and allow about 20 minutes for the system to adjust
the temperature if necessary.With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out of the floor
outlets. As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the fan speed will decrease. To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow will adjust between the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets. On bright sunny days
in cool weather, the airflow may come out of the air
conditioning and floor outlets (bi
-level mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the outside air
temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time
since the engine was last started. As the coolant
warms up, the fan speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the floor outlets, with some airflow
to the windshield to prevent fogging under most
normal conditions.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located near the center of the instrument panel.
This sensor is used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
