Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful
in many
different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful
in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be
sure
it isn’t covered.
The DRL system
will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off, and
0 the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When it’s dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.

HomeLink Universal Transmitter (Option)
This transmitter allows
you to consolidate
the functions of up
to three individual
hand-held transmitters.
It will operate garage
doors and gates, or
with
the accessory package,
other devices controlled
by radio frequency such
as home/office lighting
systems and security
systems.
The transmitter
will learn and transmit the frequencies of most current
transmitters and
is powered by your vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink” Transmitter with any garage door opener
that does not have
the “stop and reverse” safety feature. This includes any
garage door opener model manufactured before April 1,1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door you are
programming!
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming your
transmitter. Follow these steps to program
up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a HomeLink TM channel, proceed to
Step
2. Otherwise, hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink TM
Transmitter until the red light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release the buttons. This procedure initializes the
memory and erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the bottom surface
of the HomeLink” Transmitter
so that you can still see the red light.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to program. Using
both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired
button on the HomeLink
TM Transmitter. Continue to hold both
buttons through Step
4.
4.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light on the HomeLink
Transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take
up to
90 seconds, indicates that the HomeLink TM Transmitter has been
programmed.
Release both buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
TM Transmitter, make
sure that
you have followed the directions exactly as described and that the
batteries in the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program
it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over end and try again.
The HomeLink TM Transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If
you cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult your
Cadillac dealer or call
1-800-355-35 15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case you need to
erase and reprogram the HomeLink TM transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your hand-held transmitter
may stop transmitting after one or two seconds. If you are programming
from one
of these transmitters, the HorneLink TM indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter
with a series of double blinks.
After you reactivate your hand-held transmitter, the HolneLink
TM light
should flash rapidly. If
it flashes slowly, continue to periodically rc-activate
your hand-held transmitter
until the light flashes rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press the appropriate button on the HomcLink TM Universal Transmitter.
The red light comes on while the signal is being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the HomeLink" Transmitter
may differ from your hand-held transmitter and from one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside
buttons until the red light begins
to flash. Individual channels cannot be
erased,
but can be reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.

WMING LIGHTS
This part describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something
is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention
to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when
there may be or is a problem with one of
your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on briefly when you start the engine just
to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you
should not
be alarmed when this happens.
2-72

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information Center’’ in the Index.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
c
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The safety belt
light
will also come on and stay on for about 75 seconds. If the driver’s belt
is already buckled, neither the chime nor the light
will come on.
