The control panel is located in the center console.
Move the switch to
either
LO or HI to
turn on the heating
element in
the seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature. On colder days, the
HI setting heats the seats to
an even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of
the seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds
you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned on, and are deactivated when the ignition
is turned off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
126 C (248 F). To avoid added strain on a hot engine, turn off your
Climate Control system and stop and allow your vehicle to idle until it
cools down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off
your engine and have it serviced before driving it again. Severe engine
damage can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
ENGINE HOT - A/C COMPRESSOR OFF - 16
This message will appear when the Climate Control is in “Auto” or
Defrost and the engine coolant is hotter than the normal operating
temperature.
To avoid added strain on a hot engine the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned
off. When that happens, air
conditioned air is not delivered.
If the coolant temperature returns to
normal, you must select “AUTO”,
“DEFOG” or Defrost to return to a
normal A/C compressor operation.
FUEL LEVEL VERY LOW - 11
This message serves as a warning that the fuel level in your tank is
critically low.
It means you should stop for fuel immediately.
SERVICE A/C SYSTEM A/C COMPRESSOR OFF - 14
This message appears when the electronic sensors that control the A/C
and heating system are no longer working.
You may notice a drop in
heating and A/C efficiency when this message appears. Have your
Climate Control system serviced if this message appears.
STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE
IGNITION
KEY - 33
This message will appear when the Personalized Automotive Security
System
(PASS Key II@) senses that an improper ignition key is being used
to try to start the vehicle. Check the ignition key
for damage. If it is
damaged, it may need to be replaced. If you see no damage, clean the
pellet contacts with a soft cloth or napkin. Remove the ignition key and
wait for the Driver Information Center to display “WAIT
3 MINUTES”.
The Instrument Panel Cluster will then run a timer and change the
messages to “WAIT
2 MINUTES”, “WAIT 1 MINUTE”, and then
“START CAR”. When the “START CAR” message is displayed, try again
to start the engine.

get service, turn the engine
off and then try to restart it. If the vehicle
does not restart, the PASS Key II@ system will need servicing.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
Your vehicle has strategically placed electronic sensors, that feed
information to the vehicle’s computer systems. Your vehicle can control
the ventilation, heating, and air conditioning automatically year round.
The outside temperature, inside temperature setting, fan speeds, and the
ECC selection are displayed on a digital screen.
OFF: Nothing is on, but air will flow through your vehicle if you’re
moving. The system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature,
but it might not be able to maintain it if it’s hot, or cold, outside.
“OUTSIDE” Temperature: The outside temperature is always displayed
when your vehicle is running. You can change it from Celsius to
Fahrenheit by pushing the ENG/MET(English/Metric) button.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature
To select the
temperature you want,
push the blue button
for a cooler setting and
the red button for a
warmer setting. The
temperature setting
will be displayed on
the digital screen.
You can select temperatures from 65
F (18 C) to 85 F (29 C). And, at
each end, you may choose
60 F (16 C), for maximum cooling, and 90 F
(33 OC), for maximum heating. We recommend when fiit getting familiar
with your vehicle, select 75
OF (24OC). You may find that your own personal
comfort requires a slightly higher or lower setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system
will automatically maintain the set temperature.
ECON
With this setting it’s all automatic, but the air conditioning compressor
does not operate and it won’t remove humidity from the air. However,
the system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature. Use this
setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel.
If it’s warm outside and you need to cool the air, use the next choice.
AUTO
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to
cool the air and it’s all automatic.
In cold weather when the system senses
the need for heat, the air flow will
be directed out the floor ducts. As the
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed
will decrease and the air flow could be directed through the defroster and
floor ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the air flow may move to the air
outlets and floor ducts (Bi-level). On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the air flow could even come out the
A/C outlets to maintain comfort and
prevent stuffiness.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine DEFROSTER
1-1 Push this button to
remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets. In some cold start conditions, the
“AUTO”
blower fan speed may be limited until the cooling system warms up. This
is normal to prevent windshield fogging.
The .fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature. If
you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.
It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).
REAR DEFOGGER
I
Push this button to turn
on the rear defogger.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after
10 minutes. If further
defrosting is desired, simply push the button again.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could cut and damage
the heating grids. Your warranty would not,cover this damage.
And don’t put decals there; you might have to scrape them.off.

Front De-Ice
Here’s how to use your heated windshield in cold weather to remove ice
or frost quickly:
1. If any snow is piled up on the windshield, brush it away.
2. Start your Cadillac and leave it in P (“Park”).
‘. .
n.
3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. 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
“P” (Park), the system
will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for
two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield.
In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
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.)
