Cadillac 2009 XLR Automobile User Manual


 
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the engine
is running.
= (Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. Clear as much snow from the
rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes
after the button is pressed when traveling less than
30 mph (48 km/h). If turned on again, the defogger
only runs for about five minutes before turning off.
The defogger can also be turned off by turning off
the engine.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help
clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors
when the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger and heated mirrors are
automatically disabled when the retractable hardtop
is moving or down.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
( (Heated/Cooled Seat): Press to turn the feature on.
It automatically turns off when the vehicle is turned
off. See Heated and Cooled Seats on page 1-3 for
more information.
Sensors
There are several sensors on the vehicle that measure
the temperature and the sun’s effect on passenger
comfort.
The solar sensor is located on top of the instrument panel
near the windshield. It monitors the solar heat then uses
the information to maintain the selected temperature
when operating in AUTO mode by initiating needed
adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air
delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation
mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover
the sensor or the system will not work properly.
