Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can
wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder b\
elt

Accident statistics show that children are safer
if' they are restrained in
the rear seat. But they need

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.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

or the Keyless Entry System.
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.
