THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the ipition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you
to remove your key from the ignition and take it
with you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: Park
in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a
storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots: If
you park in a lot where someone will be watching your
vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to
leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine THEFT DETERRENT (OPTION)
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a Theft
Deterrent Alarm System. With this
system, the
“SECURITY” light
will flash as you open
the door (if your
ignition is off).
This
light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The
“SECURITY” light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm
will go off. It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn will sound for 3 minutes, then will
go off to save battery power.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm
if you lock the doors
with a key or manual door lock.
It arms only if you use a power door lock
switch or Keyless Entry System.
Here’s
how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft deterrent system, the vehicle should
be locked with the door key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Keyless Entry System.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with your key. You
can also turn
off the alarm by using the Keyless Entry System, if you have
it. The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Unlocking
a door
any other way will set off the alarm.

door. The horn
will sound and your headlights will flash.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the theft deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-KEY IIm
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key
I1 TM is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means
you don’t have to do anything
different to arm
or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key
TM uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
TI TM system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine.
If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellcts in
an attempt to make a
match.
The ignition key must
be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start.
If the engine does not start and the
“SECURITY” light comes on, the key may be dirty
or wet. Turn the
ignition
off.
If you’re ever driving and the “SECURITY” light comes on and
continues to flash, you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION” message
and the “STARTING DISABLED” message appears, you
will be able to
restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key TI TM system,
however,
is not working properly and must be serviced bylour Cadillac
dealer. Your vehicle
is not protected by the PASS-Key I1 system.

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your
vehicle is
in “P7, (Park) and your parking brake is firmly set before you
leave
it. After you’ve moved the shift lever into the “P” (Park) position,
hold the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift
lever away from “P” (Park) without first pulling
it toward you (or, if you
have the console shift lever, without first pushing the button). If you can,
it means that the shift lever wasn’t
fully locked into “P7, (Park).
SHIFTING OUT OF “P” (PARK)
Your Cadillac has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You have to fully
apply your regular brake before you can shift from
“P7’ (Park) when the
ignition is
in the “Run” position. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
If you cannot shift
out of “P” (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever --
push the shift lever all the way into “P” (Park) and also release the shift
lever button
on floor shift console models as you maintain brake
application. Then move
the shift lever into the gear you wish. (Press the
shift lever button before moving the shift lever.)
If you ever hold the
brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of “P” (Park), try this:
1. Turn the key to “Off.” Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the

The control on the driver’s door armrest operates both outside rearview
mirrors. Move the center
switch to the left to select the driver side mirror,
or to the right
to select the passenger side mirror. Then press the control
pad to adjust each mirror
so that you can just see the side of your vehicle.
To lock the controls leave the selector switch in the middle position.
When
you operate the rear window defogger, it also warms both outside
mirrors
to help clear them of fog or ice.
CONVEX OUTSIDE MIRROR
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s

This option allows you
to open up to three
garage doors. The transmitter unit fits the
overhead panel.
Your Cadillac dealer can tell you about the hand held power pack unit
and the installation you’ll need at home to make this work.
If your
CadilIac
is equipped with an Electriclear” heated windshield, you’ll have
to be closer to the garage door for the transmitter unit
to work.
FLOOR MATS
If your Cadillac is equipped with rubber-backed front and rear floor mats,
keep them clean by vacuuming and using a spot cleaner,
if necessary. Do
not machine wash.
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (4.4L
NORTHSTAR)
Your traction control system operates only when the system senses that
one or both of the front wheels
is spinning or beginning to lose traction
while driving. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The
traction control system works at all speeds.
It limits wheel spin by using
the antilock and brake systems to apply the front brakes and by shutting
off
fuel injectors to reduce engine torque.
You may be able to spin the tires when accelerating from a standstill on
dry pavement. This is normal. The “TRACTION ACTIVE” message will

3. Push the switch. A light will come on to tell you it is working.
4. Try not to use other electrical equipment while the system is working.
The system will
go off after a four minute heating cycle. If you shift out of
“P” (Park), the system will only cycle for two minutes. If you want it to
cycle again, push the switch. It will go on for two minute cycles after that.
If it has cleared your windshield before the cycle is over, you can turn it
off by just pushing the switch again.
Use the defroster to clear the windshield. In warm weather the heated
windshield system helps keep the vehicle’s interior
cool by blocking much
of the sun’s heat producing radiation. The system’s solar control
properties also help reduce interior fading.
There is
a metal film in the windshield which will block out some radio or
microwave signals. Therefore, the heated windshield
will reduce the
useful range
of devices such as garage door openers and radar detectors.
(In certain states radar detectors are legal.)
SOUND SYSTEMS
Your Delco’ sound system has been designed to operate easily and give
years
of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it if
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your
Delco’ system can
do and
how to operate all its controls, to be sure you’re getting the most
out
of the advanced engineering that went into it.
