Cadillac 2007 Escalade - Manual (Page 217)

The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the
outside temperature is close to freezing. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
< (Rear Window Defogger): The rear window
defogger will turn off automatically after it has
been activated. The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the button again or by turning
off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle until all
the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview
mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or
frost from the surface of the mirror when the
rear window defog button is pressed.
Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
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.
