Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-KEY@II
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key@II
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@II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key@II 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 pellets
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.
-
c .*
Clean and dry the key. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears -
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try the other ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check the fuses (see “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). If the starter won’t work with the other
key, your
vehicle needs seivice. If your vehicle does start, the first ignition
key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can
service the PASS-Key@II.
If you accidentally use a
key that has a damagea or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work But you don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one of the other ignition keys.

See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION”
message you
will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key% system, however, is not working properly and must be
serviced by your Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key@II system.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering canbe more effective.than braking. For
example, you. come over a hill and, find a truck stopped
in your lane, .or a
car suddenly pulls. out from nowhere, ox a child darts out €rm betwe parked cars and stops right in front of
you. You can avoid these pxoblems
by braking.
-- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t
room. That’s the time for evasive action
-- steering around the problem.
Your Cadillac can perform verywell
in. emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes. It
is better to remove as much speed as you can from a,
possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the left orright
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If
you. are holding the steering wheel’ at the recommended Pand-3’o’clock
positions, you can turn
it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just aslquickly
straighten the wheel once
you have avoided-:the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible
is a.good
reason to practice defensive driving at all times. and wear safety belts
properly.

The bumpers on your vehicle are not intended for hitches. Do
not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to them.\

Safety Chains
You should always attach chains between your vehicle and your trailer.
Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer
so that the tongue
will not drop to the road
if it becomes separated from the hitch. Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation for attaching safety chains. Alwa\
ys
leave
just enough slack so you can turn with your rig. And, never allow
safety chains to drag on
the ground.
Trailer Brakes
Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so you’ll -
be able to install, adjust and maintain them properly. L:
Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint
yourself with the feel of handling and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly
so responsive as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and platform, safety chains,
electrical connector, lights, tires and mirror adjustment. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This
lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure,
and that the lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
