key CADILLAC ELDORADO 1995 10.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver’s or the right front
passenger’s air bag, they may not work properly. You
may have
to replace the air bag module
in the steering wheel or both the
air bag module and the instrument panel
for the right front
passenger’s air bag.
Do not open or break the air bag covers.
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced. There are parts of
the air bag system in several places around your vehicle. You don’t want
the system to inflate while someone is working on your vehicle. Your
Cadillac dealer and the 1995 Eldorado Service Manual have information
about servicing
your vehicle and the air bag system. To purchase a service
manual, see “Service Publications” in the Index.
The air
bag system does not need regular maintenance.
A CAUTION:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery
is disconnected, an air bag can stili inflate during
improper service. You can be injured if you are close to an air
bag when it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape, or
yellow connectors. They are probably part of the air bag system.
Be sure to follow proper service procedures, and make sure the
person performing work for you
is qualified to do so.

SAFETYBELT USE DURING PREGNANCY
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they don’t wear
safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as
low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus
is to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women,
as for anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.
ZUGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this section.
When the
lap portion of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The square key is for
the ignition
only. It has
a resistor pellet which
is part of the vehicle's
PASS-K~~'~II system.
The oval key
is for the
doors and all other
locks.
When
a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from the
key. The plug has a code on it that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. However, the ignition key does not have a knock
out plug. The ignition key has a bar code tag attached to it. Your dealer or
qualified locksmith, by reading the bar code
tag, can then make your key.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are 15 alternative ignition PASS-Key% blanks to help discourage
theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plugs in a safe place. If you
ever lose your keys you will be able to have new ones made easily using
the plug or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that can help
prevent theft. But you can have a lot of trouble getting into your
vehicle if you ever lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle
to get in. So be sure you have extra keys.

If you are leaving the vehicle, set the locks from inside, get out and close

Central Door Unlocking System (Option)
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with the optional Theft
Deterrent system. When unlocking either door, you can unlock the other
doors by holding the key
in the turned position for a few seconds.
Anti-Lockout Feature
Your vehicle is equipped with this feature. If you leave the key in the
ignition whether
in the ACCESSORY, LOCK, or OFF position with the
driver’s door open, you cannot lock the vehicle using the power locks. If
you close the door
you can lock it using the Keyless Entry System. It is
always recommended that you remove your ignition key when locking
your vehicle.
The Anti-Lockout feature is disabled when the ignition is on.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lamps when any
door is opened or if you press the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) button.
The courtesy lamps will go out approximately 20 seconds after the last

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitters must
also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
two transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter won't work at the
normal range in any location. If you have to get close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it's probably time to change the batteries.

THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft detcrrent 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 Ignition
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.

System. With this
system, the

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 using the power door lock switch or the Keyless Entry
System. The
SECURITY light should come on and stay on.
