in the key head that matches a decoder in the
vehicle’s steering column. If a replacement key or
any additional key is needed, you must purchase it
from your dealer. The key will have PK3+ stamped
on it. Keep the bar code tag that came with the
original keys. Give this tag to your dealer if you
need a new key made.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle
to get in. Be sure you have spare keys.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside
Service

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out.
A child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent
system, you must unlock the doors from the
outside with the key or Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter to avoid setting off the
alarm. If the windows are down and the doors are
locked, do not reach in to manually unlock the
vehicle because you will set off the alarm.
100

Delayed Locking
With this feature, you can delay the actual locking
of the doors.
When the power door lock switch or the lock
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is pressed when the key is not in the
ignition and the driver’s door is opened, a
chime will sound three times indicating that
delayed locking is active.
When all the doors are closed, the doors will lock
automatically after ve seconds. If a door is
reopened before ve seconds have elapsed, the
ve second timer will reset itself once all the doors
are closed again.
You can press the door lock switch or the lock
button on the RKE transmitter again to override
this feature and lock the doors immediately.
You can turn this feature off using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). When delayed locking is
off, the doors will lock immediately when you
press the power door lock switch or the lock button
on the RKE transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 242for more information.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission,
the vehicle is programmed so that the doors will
lock automatically when all doors are closed,
the ignition is on, and the shift lever is moved out
of PARK (P). The doors will automatically
unlock when you stop the vehicle and move the
shift lever back into PARK (P).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, the
vehicle is programmed so that the doors will lock
automatically after the vehicle speed reaches
5 mph (8 km). The doors will automatically unlock
when the ignition is turned off and the key is
removed from the ignition.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the
doors are locked, have that person use the manual
lever or power door lock switch. When the door
is closed again, it will not lock automatically.
Use the manual lever or the power door lock
switch to lock the door.
The power door locks can be programmed
through prompts displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow
you to choose various lock and unlock settings.
For more information on programming, see
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 242.

The remote trunk
release button is located
on the lower portion
of the driver’s door.

If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps
will ash for up to 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use the RKE
transmitter or the power lock on the door.To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
Lock the door with the key or the manual door
lock after the doors are closed if you do not
want to arm the theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate
the alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with a
valid key.
