Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use
a power door lock
switch or the Keyless Entry system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
0 The vehicle should be locked with the door key qfier
the doors are closed if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
0 Always unlock a door with a key or use the Keyless
Entry system. (Pressing the unlock button on the
Keyless Entry transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other way will
activate
the alarm. Cycling the ignition without
disarming the theft-deterrent system will also
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can
also turn off the alarm by using
the Keyless Entry system. The alarm won’t stop if you
try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the “Jarrr
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the Keyless
Entry system and close the door. Wait
30 seconds.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlamps
will flash.
If
the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’
in the
Index.
If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always activate the
optional theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

Your vehicle is equipped
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.
If an ignition key is lost or damaged, see your Cadillac
dealer or a locksmith to have a new key made.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Turn SignallMultifunction Lever
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
to high or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will be on
indicating high-beam usage.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any
vehicle maintenance task.
0 Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English’ and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
Fuel
Use premium unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or
higher. At a minimum, it should meet specifications
ASTM
D4,814 in the United States and CGSB 3.5-M93
in Canada. Improved gasoline specifications have been
i ~ developed by the American Automobile Manufacturers
Association (AAMA) for. better vehicle performance
and engine protection. Gasolines meeting the
AAMA
specification could provide improved driveability and
emission control system protection compared
to other
gasolines.
Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least 91. If
the octane is less than 91, you may get a heavy knocking
2
noise when you drive. (In an emergency, you may be
able to use
a lower octane -- as low as 87 -- if heavy
knocking does not occur.)
If you’re using 91 or higher
octane unleaded gasoline and you still hear heavy
knocking, your engine needs service.
If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission Standards (indicated on the underhood tune-up label),
it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California
specifications.
If such fuels are not available in states
adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle
will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal
specifications, but emission control system performance
may be affected. The malfunction inbcator lamp on
your instrument panel may
turn on and/or your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test.
If this occurs, return to your
authorized Cadillac dealer for diagnosis to determine the
cause
of failure. In the event it is determined that the
cause of the condition is the type of fuels used, repairs
may not be covered by your warranty.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
I NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Bef‘ore attempting to
add anything electrical to your Cadillac, sce ”Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered
by a MaxiFuse@. An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to
go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse
is a registered trademark of Little Fuse
Incorporated.
Windshiek Xper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload
is caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit
until the problem is fixed or goes away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuse Id Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
Engine Con tment Fuse Bloc -;
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as
soon as you can.
There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine
compartment fuse block, the MaxiFuse
relay center and
the rear compartment fuse block. The fuse
block is located next to the air filter on the
driver's side of the engine. Lift the cover to gain access.
