Cadillac 2008 Escalade Automobile User Manual


 
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side
of your instrument panel to direct the airflow.
Operation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, press the
fan up button to the maximum fan level before
driving. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow
and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging
the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating
System and Electronic Climate
Controls
For vehicles with the rear heat and air conditioning
controls, they are integrated with the rear seat audio
controls located in the center console. The system can
be controlled from the front controls as well as the
rear controls.
To turn the system on, press the AUX button on the
front climate control system, an indicator will be
lit. Pressing the AUX button the first time will turn the
rear system on in a mimic mode. In this mode, the
airflow in the rear will be approximately the same
direction, temperature, and fan speed as the front.
Pressing the AUX button again turns the rear system
and the indicator off.
If the rear controls are adjusted, the system enters a
rear independent mode. Airflow in the rear will then be
directed according to the settings of rear controls.
The rear system can be turned off by pressing the AUX
button on the front climate control system and the
indicator will turn off.
If the indicator in the front AUX button is off, the rear
system is off.
