Universal Transmitter (Option)
This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will operate garage doors and gates, or with the
accessory package, other devices controlled
by radio
frequency such
as home/office lighting systems and
security systems. The transmitter will learn and transmit
the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered
by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
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.

Charging System Indicator Light
I-el
When you turn the key to
RUN, this red light will
come
on briefly to show
that the alternator and
battery charging systems are working.
If this light stays on, you need service and you should
take your Cadillac
to the dealer at once. To save your
battery until you get there, turn off all accessories.
Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one
part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem. Have your brake system inspected right away.
BRAKE
This light should come on
briefly when you turn the
ignition key
to RUN. If it
doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to
warn you
if there’s a
problem.
If
the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully.
You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed
for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
