Cadillac Escalade: Manual Operation
(Fan Control): Press the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the fan speed Pressing this button when the system is off will turn the system on.
Pressing either arrow while using automatic operation will place the fan in manual operation. The fan setting will display and the AUTO light will turn off. The air delivery will remain in automatic operation.
(Air Delivery Mode Control): Press to change the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. Repeatedly press the button until the desired mode appears on the display.
When the system is turned off, the display goes blank after displaying the current status of the system.
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument panel and floor outlets. Some air is directed towards the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper vents and warmer air to the floor vents.
(Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some to the windshield, side window outlets, and second row floor outlets. In this mode, the system automatically selects outside air.
(Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets, and side window vents. In this mode, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the defog mode.
(Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and side window vents, with some directed to the floor vents. In this mode, the system automatically forces outside air into the vehicle and runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.
The passenger temperature control cannot be activated while in defrost mode. If the passenger control knob is pressed, the passenger temperature flashes three times and will not work. If the passenger control knob is adjusted, the driver temperature indicator changes. The passenger temperature will not be displayed.
If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is selected again, the climate control system displays the previous temperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
(Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. An indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature is too cool for air conditioning will make the air conditioning indicator flash 3 times and then turn off indicating the air conditioning mode is not available. If the air conditioning is on and the outside temperature drops below a temperature which is too cool for air conditioning to be effective, the air conditioning light turns off to show that the air conditioning mode has been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount of water might drip under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
(Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defog, or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected with one of those modes, the indicator light flashes three times and then turns off. The air conditioning compressor also comes on when this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode the windows may fog when the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be turned off by turning off the ignition.
