ECO mode CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT 2010 3.G User Guide

6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some
to the windshield, side window outlets, and second row
floor outlets. In this mode, the system automatically
selects outside air.
-(Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets,
and side window vents. In this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is close to
freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in the defog mode.
0(Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from
the windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window vents, with some
directed to the floor vents. In this mode, the system
automatically forces outside air into the vehicle and
runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is close to freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.
The passenger temperature control cannot be activated
while in defrost mode. If the passenger control knob is
pressed, the passenger temperature flashes three times
and will not work. If the passenger control knob is
adjusted, the driver temperature indicator changes.
The passenger temperature will not be displayed. If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is selected again,
the climate control system displays the previous
temperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):
Press to turn the air
conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool for air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator flash three times and then turn off
indicating the air conditioning mode is not available.
If the air conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air conditioning light
turns off to show that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This helps to reduce the time it takes
for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.

The navigation system informs through voice prompts
when you are traveling into a limited guidance area
where route guidance is not available. The street maps
and the directional arrow displayed on the navigation
system can then be used to determine the remaining
route to your destination.
Installing the DVD Map Disc
When a DVD Map Disc is installed, noise from the
disc may occur, this is normal system operation.
The navigation system in this vehicle uses a DVD to
store map information. When the system loads data
from the disc, you may hear a very slight buzz sound
from the navigation system. The sound is similar to that
of a CD player seeking through different tracks. This is
normal operation and may occur more frequently with
the use of XM NavTraffic.
Your dealer/retailer may have installed the map DVD.
If the map DVD was not installed, do the following to
load it:1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the
O(power) knob to turn the navigation
system on or press the NAV, DEST, or MENU hard
keys. If the MENU hard key is selected, press and
hold until the NAV screen is active, or select the
NAV tab manually. 3. Load the map DVD partway into the slot located
just below the screen. The system will pull it in.
4. Touch the OK screen button to agree to the Caution screen, if it appears. If the map is in split
screen mode, you must push the NAV tab button to
get the full map screen.
DVD Map Disc Messages
If Disc Read Error appears on the display and/or the

reasons:
.If the map disc was installed into the CD slot.
See “Installing the DVD Map Disc” previously.
.It is very hot, when the temperature returns to
normal, the map disc should play.
.You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the map disc should play.
.The map disc is dirty, scratched, wet, or
upside down.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer/retailer.

It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the
system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow, and you want to“rock”the vehicle to attempt to
free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road conditions where high
wheel spin is required. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in
Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 6‑30.
Traction Control Operation
The traction control system is part of the
StabiliTrak system. Traction control limits wheel
spin by reducing engine power to the wheels (engine
speed management) and by applying brakes to each
individual wheel (brake-traction control) as necessary.
The traction control system is enabled automatically
when the vehicle is started. It will activate and the
StabiliTrak light will flash if it senses that any of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. If traction control is turned off, only the
brake-traction control portion of traction control will
work. The engine speed management will be disabled.
In this mode, engine power is not reduced automatically
and the driven wheels can spin more freely. This can
cause the brake-traction control to activate constantly. Notice:
If the wheel(s) of one axle is allowed to spin
excessively while the StabiliTrak, ABS and brake
warning lights and any relevant DIC messages are
displayed, the transfer case could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Reduce engine power and do not spin the
wheel(s) excessively while these lights and
messages are displayed.
The traction control system may activate on dry or
rough roads or under conditions such as heavy
acceleration while turning or abrupt upshifts/downshifts
of the transmission. When this happens, a reduction in
acceleration may be noticed, or a noise or vibration may
be heard. This is normal.
If cruise control is being used when the system
activates, the StabiliTrak light will flash and cruise
control will automatically disengage. Cruise control may
be reengaged when road conditions allow. See Cruise
Control on page 4‑7.
StabiliTrak may also turn off automatically if it
determines that a problem exists with the system.
If the problem does not clear itself after restarting the
vehicle, see your dealer/retailer for service.
