This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If you are in a crash and you’re not wearing a sa
belt, your injuries can be much worse. You can hit things
the vehicle
or be ejected from it. You can be seriously inj
killed. In the same crash, you might not be if
you are bu
up.
Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your ,*-*:.;...
passengers’ belts are fastened properly too. -1 y* *‘
This figure lights up when you turn the key to “Run” or “Start” when
your safety belt isn’t buckled, and
you’ll hear a chime, too. It’s the
reminder to buckle up.

Just close your doors, turn on the ignition and make sure the interior
courtesy lights are switched
off. Every time you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and
move your shift lever into
“P” (Park), your doors will unlock. If someone
needs to get out while you’re not in
“P” (Park), have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, set the locks from inside, get out and close
the door.
Central Door Unlocking System (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors
by holding the key in the turned
position for a few seconds.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lights when either
door is opened. When the door is closed, the courtesy lights will stay on
for approximately
20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from
up to 15 feet (4.5 m) using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System is intended
to be used as a
supplementary
vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but
rather should be used in conjunction with a door lock key.
It operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Ehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement
can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter must also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak
if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range
in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine THEFT DETERRENT (OPTION)
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a Theft
Deterrent Alarm System. With this
system, the
“SECURITY” light
will flash as you open
the door (if your
ignition is off).
This
light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The
“SECURITY” light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm
will go off. It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn will sound for 3 minutes, then will
go off to save battery power.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm
if you lock the doors
with a key or manual door lock.
It arms only if you use a power door lock
switch or Keyless Entry System.
Here’s
how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft deterrent system, the vehicle should
be locked with the door key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Keyless Entry System.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with your key. You
can also turn
off the alarm by using the Keyless Entry System, if you have
it. The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Unlocking
a door
any other way will set off the alarm.

To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the theft deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-KEY IIm
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key
I1 TM is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means
you don’t have to do anything
different to arm
or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key
TM uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
TI TM system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine.
If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellcts in
an attempt to make a
match.
The ignition key must
be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start.
If the engine does not start and the
“SECURITY” light comes on, the key may be dirty
or wet. Turn the
ignition
off.
If you’re ever driving and the “SECURITY” light comes on and
continues to flash, you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION” message
and the “STARTING DISABLED” message appears, you
will be able to
restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key TI TM system,
however,
is not working properly and must be serviced bylour Cadillac
dealer. Your vehicle
is not protected by the PASS-Key I1 system.

stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows
don’t go on at ail when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
