with the PASS-Key
I1
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key is
removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that is read by a decoder module in your vehicle. If the
key resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle
module, the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be
enabled. If an incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel
and starting systems
are disabled for three minutes.
Additional attempts during this lockout period will not start the car.
If the engine does not start and the STARTING
DISABLED DUE
TO THEFT SYSTEM, REMOVE
IGNITION KEY message is displayed in the Driver Information Center, your
key should be checked for
damage. Starting may be attempted with an undamaged
key immediately. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith for key service.
If the STARTING DISABLED DUE
TO THEFT
SYSTEM, REMOVE IGNITION KEY and WAIT
3 MINUTES messages are displayed, the key should
be cleaned and tried. After three minutes, try again.
A START CAR message will appear at this time.
If
the engine still does not start, wait 3 minutes and try a
duplicate key. At this time, fuses should be checked (see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index). If the engine
does not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your Cadillac dealer for service.
If the THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM message is
displayed during vehicle operation, your vehicle needs
servicing. Your vehicle will restart if you turn
it off,
however, your vehicle may be unprotected. See your
Cadillac dealer for service.

Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the
turn is complete.
A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts
to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it‘s released. If
the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about a mile) to remind you to turn it
off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see
the turn signal.
Replace burned out bulbs
to help avoid possible
accidents. Check
the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs
if the
arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and
then release it to change the
headlamps from low beam

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach a desired lower speed, then release
it. A
CRUISE ENGAGED message will then display.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button
for less than half a second. Each time you do this,
you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your
foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear
to keep your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake
takes you out
of cruise control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to end cruise control:
0 Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn
off the cruise control or the ignition.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Compass Calibration
Once the compass is calibrated, it does not need to be
recalibrated.
To calibrate the compass:
1. Set the switch on the mirror control to C/M.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition switch on. The letter C
should be displayed in the mirror compass window.
If not, hold the CAL switch (on the bottom of the
mirror) for more than 10 seconds, and the letter
C
will appear. To hold in the CAL switch, insert a
paper clip into the small hole on the bottom of the
mirror housing. The display will show a number
first, but keep holding until the letter
C appears.
3. For quick calibration, drive the vehicle in a
360-degree circle at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) until
the display reads a compass direction. For normal
calibration, drive the vehicle on your everyday
routine, and the compass will eventually calibrate.
Compass Variance

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass

. ,..^ . I/ ,; .. . . , . . . .., . . . .
The fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
fuel remaining.
Press the AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon (AVG MPG). You can also display
it in
metric units by pressing the ENG MET button.
When AVG MPG
is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used. When the
INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected, you will see what the fuel economy
is at that
instant. The computer takes
a new reading twice every
second. It will show economy up to
70 miles-per-gallon
(or
2 L per 100 km).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG
MPG is
displayed on the
DIC. Press and hold the RESET button
until both the fuel data center and DIC display reads 0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest
of your trip, so the range is estimated
based on
the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change
as your driving habits change.
Going from city to highway driving
may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the RANGE reading to work.
