THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft detcrrent 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 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.

THEFT DETERRENT (OPTION)

Deterrent Alarm
System. With this
system, the

off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:

System. The

I Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II (Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key@II 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@II uses
a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key@II 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 pellets 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.
Cle2n and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The
security light may remain
on during this time. If the starter still won’t
work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and try another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check the
fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the starter won’t
work with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does
start, the first ignition key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key%.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work and the SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t
have to wait three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.

message
you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your

serviced by your Cadillac dealer. Your vchicle is not protected by the
PASS-K~Y~II system.

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:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or slow -- for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this t.ime 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.
0 Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See “Towing a Trailer”
in the Index for more information.

This lock gives you five
different positions.
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 a theft
deterrent feature.
The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACCESSORY: This position lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when
the engine is off. To get into ACCESSORY, push
in the key and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked,
just
as it was before you inserted the key.
LOCK: Before you put the key in, your ignition will be in the LOCK
position. This is the only position in which you can remove the key. This
position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission. It’s a theft
deterrent feature.
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.
