Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

There is a master key that works all of the lock cylinders
(driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a VALET key which only operates the
driver's door and the ignition.
Your vehicle has the PASS-Key
žIII vehicle theft
system. Both the master and VALET key have a
transponder 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 this
key 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.Any new PASS-Key
žIII key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. SeePASS-KeyžIII on
page 2-21for more information on programming
your new key.
Notice:Your vehicle has a number of features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of trouble
getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your keys
inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle to
get in. So be sure you have spare keys.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside Assistance.
See
Roadside Service on page 7-6.
If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar
žsystem with
an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, OnStar
žmay be able to send a command to
unlock your vehicle. SeeOnStaržSystem on page 2-45for more information.

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 remote keyless entry
transmitter system, or by starting the car with a valid key.
Changes or modi®cations made to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the remote
keyless entry system and close the door. Wait 30
seconds until the SECURITY lamp goes off.

lock and open the door. The horn will sound and
the hazard lights will ¯ash.

with your key, using the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter or by starting the car with
a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.

page 5-94. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,
you may need to have your vehicle serviced.To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the

Notice:If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn't be covered by
your warranty.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or in the accessory power outlets. Turn off
the radio and all lamps that aren't needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries. And it
could save your radio!
4. Open the hoods and locate the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminal locations on the other
vehicle. Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump
starting terminal and a remote negative (-) jump
starting terminal.
The remote positive (+)
terminal is located in the
engine compartment
on the passenger's side of
the vehicle. A second
remote positive (+) terminal
is located on the rear
underseat fuse block. Lift
the red plastic cap to
access the terminal.The remote negative (-) terminal is located near
the power steering ¯uid reservoir. It is marked
ªGND (-).º See
Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-12for more information on location.
You will not see the battery of your vehicle under
the hood. It is located under the rear passenger's
seat. You will not need to access the battery
for jump starting. The remote positive (+) terminal is
for that purpose.
{CAUTION:
An electric fan can start up even when the
engine is not running and can injure you. Keep
hands, clothing and tools away from any
underhood electric fan.

8. Now connect the black
negative (-) cable to
the negative (-)
terminal location of the
vehicle with the
good battery. Use a
remote negative (-)
terminal if the vehicle
has one.
Don't let the other end of the cable touch anything
until the next step. The other end of the
negative (-) cable doesn't go to the dead battery. It
goes to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote negative (-) terminal on the vehicle with
the dead battery.9. Connect the other end
of the negative (-)
cable to the
negative (-) terminal
location on the vehicle
with the dead battery.
Your vehicle has a
remote negative (-)
terminal marked
GND (-).
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won't start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
