Heated Windshield (Option)
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
PARK (P).
3.
Press
the
DE-ICE
switch.
A
light
will
come
on to tell
you
it is working.
DE-ICE
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
PARK (P),
the system
will
only cycle
for
two
minutes.
If
you want it to
cycle
again, press 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 pressing the switch again.
Use
the defroster or defog features
of
the Electronic Climate Control
to
clear
fog
from the windshield as previously described. 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 opcners and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
