vehicle’s ignition.
A yes or no response is required.
For
a list of the other personalization features available,
see “Memory and Personalization Features” later in
this section.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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. Once your dealer has coded
the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should last about four
years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
' A CAUTION:
Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers can be trapped under the trunk lid as it goes
down. Your fingers could be injured, and you
would need someone
to help you free them. Keep
your fingers away from the trunk lid as you close
it and as it is going down.
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until
it is nearly shut -- the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.

If for some reason the trunk lid will not close, it may be
because the trunk pull-down unit was accidentally
bumped. Even though the trunk lid remains open, the motor from the pull-down unit has already cycled down.

pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the trunk lid to close when lowered.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Cadillac
has a number of theft-deterrent
features,
we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don’t do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.

Theft-Deterrent System (If Equipped)
SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash,
reminding you to activate
the system (the light will
also flash if the battery
has been disconnected
and reconnected).
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock or the RKE
system. The
SECURITY light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.
The horn will sound and the lamps
will flash for about
30 seconds when the door or trunk is opened without the
key or RKE system. The horn also sounds if the locks
are damaged.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or
use the manual door
lock. It activates only
if you use a power door lock
switch or the RKE system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the door key after
the doors are closed if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
system. (Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.)
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm. Cycling
the ignition without disarming the
theft-deterrent system will also activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by using
the RKE system. The alarm won’t stop
if you try to
unlock a door any other way.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the RKE system and close the door. Wait
30 seconds until the
SECURITY lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the\

Index.
If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Security Override
Pressing the VALET button
located inside the glove box
will disable the use
of the
power
trunk, fuel door and
garage door openers.
Pressing this button again will make these features
reusable. Locking the glove box with the door
key will also help to secure
your vehicle.
Note that the RKE transmitter can’t be used to open the
trunk or fuel door if the VALET button is pressed in.

that is read by the system in your vehicle. If the key’s
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be enabled.
If
an incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel and starting
systems are disabled for three minutes. Additional
attempts during this lockout period will not start the car,
even with the correct key. If
the engine does not start and the “STARTING
DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM, REMOVE
IGNITION
KEY” message is displayed in the Driver
Information Center, your key should be checked for
damage. Starting may be attempted with an undamaged
key immediately. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith for key service.
If the “STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM, REMOVE IGNITION
KEY” and “WAIT
3 MINUTES” messages are displayed, the key should
be cleaned. After three minutes,
try again. A “START
CAR’ message will appear at this time. If the engine
still does not start, wait three minutes and try a duplicate
key. At this time, fuses should be checked (see “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the engine does
not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your Cadillac dealer for service.
If the “THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM’ message
is
displayed during vehicle operation, your vehicle needs
servicing. Your vehicle will restart if you turn it
off,
however, your vehicle may be unprotected. See your

NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t
tow a trailer during break-in.
See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key;
if so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force
it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
