Cadillac 2009 XLR-V Automobile User Manual


 
There is also a sensor located behind the front bumper.
This sensor reads the outside air temperature and
helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle.
The outside temperature will be displayed in the
navigation system only when the engine is running.
Any cover on the front of the vehicle could give a false
reading of the temperature.
If the outside temperature goes up, the display
temperature will not change until:
The vehicle’s speed is above 15 mph (24 km/h)
for five minutes.
The vehicle’s speed is above 32 mph (51 km/h)
for two and one-half minutes.
These delays prevent false readings. If the temperature
goes down, the outside temperature will be shown
when the vehicle is started. If it has been turned off for
less than three hours, the temperature will be recalled
from the previous vehicle operation.
There is also an inside temperature sensor located to
the left of the ignition button. The automatic climate
control system uses this sensor to receive information,
so if it is blocked or covered, the system will not
function properly.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the thumbwheel to open or close the outlets.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the flow of air into the vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the area around the base of the instrument
panel console and air path under the seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside of the
vehicle more effectively.
