Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
system. Improper service can mean that your air bag
system won't work properly. See your dealer for
service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver's air bag,
it
may not work properly. You may have to
replace the
air bag module. Do not open or break
the
air bag cover.
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 Cadillac service manual have
information about servicing your vehicle and the air
bag
system. To purchase a service manual, see "Service and
Owner Publications"
in the Index.
For up
to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still 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
1 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.
The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

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, below
the rounding, 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.
Right Front Passenger Positio-
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.

A CAUTION:
Leaving young children in a vehicle with the
ignition key
is dangerous for many reasons. A child
or others could be badly injured or even killed.
They could operate power windows or other
controls
or even make the vehicle move. If they
turned the ignition to on and moved the shift lever out
of PARK (P), that would release the
parking brake. Don't leave the keys in
a vehicle
with young children.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The square key is for the
ignition only. It has a
re.sistor pellet which
is
part of the vehicle's
PASS-Key@% system.
The oval key is for the
doors and all other locks.
When a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
-the plug from the door key. The plug has a code on it
that tells the dealer
or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached to it rather than a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
There are
15 alternative ignition PASS-Key 11 blanks to
help discourage theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plugs
in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you will
be able to have new ones made using the plug
or bar code tag.
~~
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside and you
may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have extra keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When
a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways
to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your door key.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
unlock the doors with the key or Keyless Entry system.
This will avoid setting
off the alarm. Slide the
lock lever down to lock the door from the
inside.
To unlock the door, slide the lock lever up.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either door, you can also unlock the other door by
holding the key in the turned position for a few seconds
or by quickly rotating the door key twice
in the
lock cylinder.

prompt to appear is for the vehicle storage mode. For
more information on vehicle storage, see “Battery Guard
Storage” later in this section.
Anti-Lockout Feature
Leaving your key in any ignition position with the
driver’s door open will disable the use of the power door
lock switches. The anti-lockout feature is disabled when
the ignition is on. 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.

door open.
Also note that the anti-lockout feature can be overridden
by holding the power door lock switch for three seconds
or longer.

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. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key chain
transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a coin IO pry
open the transmitter.
_. ,.... ,. ,,x *.;x;, : :,::
2. Remove the battery and replace it with a CR2032
battery. Using the wrong size battery can damage the
transmitter. Make sure the battery is positioned with
the
”plus” (+) facing down.
3. Align the internal pieces of the transmitter, including
the cover. Snap together to reinstall.
