prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.

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.

entry transmitter should last about
four years.

work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle
is to have really good braking.
Your vehicle
was designed and tested with top-quality
GM brake parts. When you replace parts of your braking
system
-- for example, when your brake linings wear
down and you have
to have new ones put in -- be sure
you get new approved
GM replacement parts. If you
don’t,
your brakes may no longer work properly. For
example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong
for
your vehicle, the balance between your front and
rear brakes can change
-- for the worse. The braking
performance you‘ve come
to expect can change in many
other ways
if someone puts in the wrong replacement
brake parts.
bi
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom“ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number
shown
on the original battery’s label.
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take
off the black, negative (-) cable from
the battery. This
will help keep your battery from
running down.
A CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see ”Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
