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.

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 ipition: If you walk away from 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. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

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.

door. The horn

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1 TM ignition key, see your Cadillac
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
I1 TM to have a new key
made.
IGNITION KEY POSITIONS
This lock gives you five
different positions.
75
Before you put the key in, your ignition will be in the “LOCK” position.
This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s an
anti-theft feature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine
is off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just
as it was
before you inserted the key.
OFF This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like
“Lock.” Use “Off” if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your
car
is being pushed).
RUN: This
is the position for driving.
START
This starts your engine.

NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in ‘ xk and you can’t turn it, be sure

STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number
(VIN) shows the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left
of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
Move your shift lever to
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use “N” (Neutral) only.
