Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO or ECON and the temperature
between 65 F (18 C) and 85 F (29 C).
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
To use this feature, your
vehicle must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N) and the
VALET lockout switch must
be off.
Press the trunk release button, located on the left side of
the instrument panel, to open the trunk.
You can also press the trunk button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to access the trunk
compartment. To disable the use of this feature, see
ªValet Lockout Switchº in the Index.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the headlamp or manual parking lamp control
has been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off
approximately 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to
OFF. This protects draining the battery in case you have
accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. If
you need to purposely leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes with the ignition in OFF or ACCESSORY,
turn the manual control knob off and then back on.
To delay the lamps from turning off, see ªTwilight
Sentinelº in the Index.
If the headlamp switch is turned on after the ignition key
is moved to either OFF or ACCESSORY, the lamps will
not time out.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel
Intensity/Brightness Control
The displays automatically dim when it becomes dark
outside and your lights are on. The displays
automatically brighten when it becomes light outside.
Backlighting will only remain active as long as the
parking lamps are on and it is dark outside.
Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps are located on the ceiling above the
rear seat. These lamps come on with the control lamp
knob or when any door is opened and it is dark outside.
Puddle lamps are located on the bottom of the front and
rear door trim.
Illuminated Entry
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp control knob when a door is opened or if you
press a remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button.
If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting will
remain active for about 40 seconds. Since the
illuminated entry system uses the light sensor, it must be
dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on.
The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds
after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the
ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately deactivate
if the power locks are activated.

Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
The control on the driver's
door armrest operates both
outside rearview mirrors.
Press (R) on the control
switch to choose the right
mirror or (L) to choose the
left mirror. The center
switch position is for off
and will not move the
mirrors if touched.
To adjust the mirror, push the control pad in the
direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror
so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area
behind your vehicle.
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice.
The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
if you have the optional memory package. For more
information, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in
the Index.
Driver's Outside Auto-Dimming
Rearview Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is
controlled by the on and off settings on the
electrochromic mirror. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night
Rearview Mirror with Compassº in the Index.
Curb View Assist Mirror (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will
also be capable of performing the curb view assist
mirror feature. This feature will cause the passenger's
mirror to tilt to a preselected position when the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
allowing you to view the curb when you are
parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a
five
-second delay has occurred, the passenger's mirror
will return to its original position.
If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted,
the mirror switch may be used.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver
Information Center.

2-61
Cellular Telephone (Option)
Your vehicle has been prewired for dealer installation of
the Cadillac Communiport
integrated portable cellular
telephone system. The system has steering wheel
telephone controls and information output through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). Voice activation with
remote record and hands
-free operation are standard
features. For more information, contact your dealer. A
user's guide is provided with the telephone.

Your vehicle may be equipped with accessory power
outlets that can be used to power additional devices
designed to operate with vehicle electrical systems. The
accessory power outlets are located in the center storage
compartment of the instrument panel and under each
storage lid of the rear door armrests. When the ignition
is on, or up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off,
you can plug in accessories that require electrical power.
Power to the outlets will shut off 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned off to help prevent the battery from
draining. See ªInadvertant Power Battery Saverº in the
Index. Power supply to the accessory power outlets or
cigarette lighters can be changed from 10 minutes to full
time by changing some fuses. See your dealer
for assistance.Leaving an accessory on for an extended period of time
(i.e. airport stay or storage) or if a fuse is in the wrong
place may drain the vehicle's battery.

Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter (ª1º or ª2º) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the ignition key is placed in the ignition
(the ignition must be turned to OFF), the climate control
settings will automatically adjust to where they were last
set. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing
the memory seat buttons 1 or 2 located on the
driver's door.
