THE CUTLASS CIERA ELECTRONIC LEVEL CONTROL CAN AUTOMATICALLY COMPENSATE FOR A LOAD INCREASE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE "ON" OR "OFF" POSITION. OPERATION OF THE COMPRESSOR WITH THE IGNITION IN THE "OFF" POSITION IS LIMITED TO 5 CUMULATIVE MINUTES EACH TIME THE IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
