If a light stays on, you need service, and you should take your Cadillac to
the dealer at once.
To save your battery until you get there, turn off all
accessories, and set your Electronic Climate Control system to
“OFF.”
Low Oil Level Light
If it doesn’t come on, have it repaired. If the light comes on and stays on,
your engine oil level is too low. Check your oil level and add enough oil
to bring the engine oil level
up to the proper level. See “Engine Oil” in
the Index.

CHECK
Your vehicle could be equipped with either one of these indicators lamps.
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. This light should come on when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running, as a check to show you it is working.
If it does
not come on at all, have it fixed right away.
If it stays on, or it comes on
while you are driving, the computer
is indicating that you have a problem.
You should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while
the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy
won’t be as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty.

Pass Key Fault Light
If this light comes on
while driving and stays
on, you will be able
to
restart your vehicle. If
you turn it off, your
vehicle will not be
protected by the
PASS-Key
II@ feature.
Have it serviced by
your Cadillac dealership.
ELECTRONIC LEWL CONTROL
I This keeps your car
level. When the system
is adjusting, the
“LEVEL RIDE” light
will be on.
If the light
comes on and
off while
driving, that’s normal.
The Electronic Level Control (ELC) will operate for several minutes
after you have turned the ignition
off.
If the light stays on for 7 minutes, it warns that your leveling system may
not be working. You should see your dealer for service. You can keep
using your Cadillac, though.
143

FUEL GAGE
Your fuel gage shows
about how much fuel is
in your tank.
It works only when the ignition is in the “RUN” position. The 17 bar
segments show the fuel remaining in your tank.
>When only one bar segment still is lit, the
“LOW FUEC‘ light will go on.
‘If the fuel supply gets critically low, none of the bar segments will be lit
and the “LOW FUEC’
will flash. You should get fuel immediately.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about the fuel gage. All
.these situations are normal and indicate nothing wrong with the fuel
>gage-
The pump at the gas station shuts off before the fuel gage reads “F”.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill up than the gage said. For example,
the gage said
“l/2”, but it took more or less than half the tank capacity
to
fill it.
The gage changes when you turn (or stop, or speed up).

OIL LIFE INDICATOR
Your Cadillac has an Oil Life Indicator feature. This tells you when
you need to change your engine oil. It’s based upon the engine oil
temperatures and your driving patterns.
Your 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.
The system probably will say to change the oil between
3000 miles
(5000 km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it
before
3000 miles under severe conditions. It all depends on your driving
patterns. (If it doesn’t, or if it doesn’t even light up, then something is
wrong. You will need to have it serviced.)
There are
two things the system won’t do: 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 “CHANGE OIC’ light comes on sooner.
It doesn’t check how much oil you have
so you will still have to check for
that.
To check it, see the Index under “Engine Oil.”
When You’ve Changed the Oil
When new oil is put in, you’ll need to reset your system. To do that, turn
the ignition switch to the
“ON” position with the engine stopped. Fully
depress and release the accelerator pedal
3 times within 5 seconds.
If the “CHANGE OIC’ light comes on and stays on for 5 seconds, it did
not reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.

SECTION 3
COMFORT CONTROLS AND AUDIO SYSTEMS
In this section you’ll find out how to operate the comfort control systems
and audio systems offered with your Cadillac.
YOUR CXLIILUCAIR SYSTEM
This part tells you how to make your Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
work for you.
Outside Air
Outside air always flows through your Cadillac when the car is moving.
Even
if the car is not moving, you can always get outside air to flow
through by selecting any air choice (except the rear window defogger).
The Electronic Climate Control System may automatically recirculate the
inside air
of your vehicle, to provide maximum air conditioning. During
recirculation, a louder blower noise may be heard until the system returns
to outside air.
Air Outlets
The air outlets are
located
in the center
and each side of the
instrument panel. You
can adjust
the direction
of air flow by moving
the control levers. The
lever at the bottom of
the air outlet opens
or
stops the air flow from
that outlet.

ELECTRONIC CLIMTE CONTROL
With this system you can control the ventilation, heating and air
conditioning in your vehicle automatically by setting the desired
temperature. The digital screen displays the outside temperature, the
I
inside temperature setting, fan speed, and the ECC selection you have
selected.
OUT TEMP (Outside Temperature)
Push this to get the outside temperature. Push it again to return to the
regular system display.
TEMP (Inside Temperature)
Sets the interior temperature you want. Press the lower portion (blue
arrow) to lower the inside temperature setting. Press the upper portion
(red arrow) to raise the temperature setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system will automatically maintain the set temperature.
You can change the temperature from 65 F (18 C) to 85 F (29 " C), one
degree at a time. You may also choose
60 " F (16 " C), for maximum
cooling, and 90°F
(33 "C), for maximum heating, the fan will stay on high
speed unless you select a different speed.
In maximum heating most of
the air will
flow out the heater ducts. In maximum cooling, the system will
recirculate the air inside your vehicle instead of pulling air from outside.
