CADILLAC CATERA 2000 1.G Owners Manual

2-56 Anti-Pinch Feature
If a hand, an arm or another object is in the way of the
power sunroof closing, the glass panel will stop at the
obstruction and open to a preset factory position.
CAUTION:
Pressing and holding the power sunroof control
dial in the up position will turn off the anti
-pinch
feature. If this happens, the sunroof won't stop if
something gets in the way. You or others could
be injured, and your sunroof could be damaged.
Be careful not to press and hold the power
sunroof control dial in the up position.
Manual Operation
If a failure in the power supply system occurs, the
sunroof can be manually closed by inserting a
screwdriver into the slot as shown. Turning the
screwdriver counterclockwise will close the sunroof.
The screwdriver is provided in the tool kit in the
trunk (with the jack).

2-57 Programming the Sunroof
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected or is not working, you will need to
reprogram the sunroof following these steps. Refer to the
illustration under ªSunroofº for control dial positions.
With your vehicle's ignition on:
1. If the sunroof is closed, turn the control dial to
position E. Hold the dial in position for about
five seconds.
If the sunroof is open, turn the control dial to E and
hold until the glass panel has closed. Now continue
holding the dial for approximately five more seconds.
2. Turn the control dial to position G and hold until the
sunroof is fully tilted (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
3. Now turn the control dial to position E and
keep holding until the sunroof is fully closed
(about three seconds after the motor has stopped).4. Turn the control dial to position A and hold until the
sunroof is fully open (about three seconds after the
motor has stopped).
5. Turn to position E and keep holding the
control dial until the sunroof has fully closed
(about three seconds after the motor has stopped).
The sunroof is now programmed.
Please note that if the sunroof keeps opening after you
attempt to close it once it has been programmed, you
will need to repeat Steps 2 through 5 (up to three times
if needed). If you are still having problems, consult your
dealer for service.
Also keep in mind that if something is in the way of the
sunroof closing during programming and you continue
to program the sunroof, the sunroof will only open or
close to the spot where the obstruction occurred. You
will need to reprogram the sunroof again, making sure
that the object has been removed.

Programming the HomeLink Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.

2-59
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the HomeLink transmitter
until the indicator light begins to flash rapidly
(after 20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This
procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Hold the end of the hand
-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the HomeLink transmitter so that you
can still see the indicator light.
3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the HomeLink
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons
through Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator
light on the HomeLink transmitter flash slowly and
then rapidly. The rapid flashing indicates that the
HomeLink transmitter has been programmed.
Release both buttons once the indicator light starts
to flash rapidly.Your Catera may be equipped with a metallic
-coated,
heat reflective windshield to help keep your vehicle
cool. If you experience difficulty when using your
remote control transmitter be sure you have followed the
directions exactly, and that you are pointing the device
through the top center of the windshield in the black
dotted area. Any usage of devices other than in this area
may cause malfunctions to occur. Also, the HomeLink
transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer
Safety Standards. If you cannot program the transmitter
after repeated attempts, refer to ªRolling Code
Programmingº later in this section or contact the
HomeLink transmitter manufacturer at 1
-800-355-3515.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
HomeLink transmitter.
Canadian Owners: During programming, the hand
-held
transmitter may automatically stop transmitting after one
or two seconds. In this case, you should press and re
-press
the button on the hand
-held transmitter every two seconds
without ever releasing the button on the HomeLink
transmitter. Release both buttons when the indicator light
on the HomeLink transmitter begins to flash rapidly.

2-60 Operating the HomeLink Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the
HomeLink transmitter. The indicator light comes on
while the signal is being transmitted.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
HomeLink transmitter but does not open your garage
door, and if the garage door opener was manufactured
after 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº system. A rolling code system changes the code
of the garage door opener every time you open or close
the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button on
the HomeLink transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the HomeLink transmitter
flashes rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid, the
garage door opener has a rolling code system. In a rolling
code system, the garage door motor head unit must be
trained to the HomeLink transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink transmitter, see
ªProgramming the HomeLink transmitterº listed
previously. If you have completed this programming
already, you now need to train the garage door opener
motor head unit to recognize the HomeLink transmitter.
Refer to your garage door opener owner's manual for
the proper transmitter training procedure for your garage
door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of
the button may vary by garage door opener brand.
If you have difficulty finding the training button,
refer to your garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit.
Please note that following this step, you have
30 seconds to start Step 3.

2-61
3. Return to the HomeLink transmitter in your
vehicle and firmly press and release the HomeLink
transmitter button you have already programmed for
two to three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three
times) to make sure that the HomeLink transmitter
has been trained to the garage door opener motor
head unit. Check that the training was successful.
The garage door opener should now recognize the
HomeLink transmitter. You may either use the
HomeLink transmitter or the hand
-held transmitter
to open the garage door.
If after following these instructions, you still have
problems training the garage door opener, contact the
HomeLink transmitter manufacturer at 1
-800-355-3515.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down
the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins
to flash (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
Accessories
Accessories for the HomeLink transmitter are available
from the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like
additional information, please call 1
-800-355-3515.

2-64 Instrument Panel Cluster
United States Version Shown, Canada Similar

2-65 Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer tells how far you have driven since
you last reset it. To set it to zero, press the knob located
below the speedometer on the instrument panel cluster.
Tachometer
This gage indicates the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area or engine damage may occur.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine's
rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine
is shut off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel
supply will come on again. This helps prevent damage
to the engine.
