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.

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their
own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your
own state or
provincial highway authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer's instructions for adding water.
Don't mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn't clean as well
as washer fluid.
~ Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it's very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don't use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Headlight Washer (Export Only)
If you have this feature, you will wash your headlights while washing your
windshield at the same time in bad weather. Just press the
