or the safety belts!
With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance,
and your strongest bones take the forces. That’s why
safety belts make such good sense.

A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will
be in most of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only; so they work with
safety belts -- not instead of them. Every air bag
system ever offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that has air
bags, you still have to buckle up to get the most
protection. That’s tme not only in frontal collisions,
but especially in side and other collisions.

RKE 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 your dealer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will
not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
Under
normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should Bast 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.
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Cadillac has a number of theft-deterrent
features,
we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
However, there are ways you can help.
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an eaq
target for joy riders or professional heves -- 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.
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.

If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key? What
you have
to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put
your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove

on the parking and taillamps, sidemarker lamps and
instrument panel lights. Pull the knob out
all the way to
turn on the headlamps. Push the control knob all the way
back in
to turn the lamps and lights off.
Cluster lighting as well as instrument panel backlighting
will dim only when it
is dark outside.
The control for the headlamps
is on the left side of the
instrument panel. Pull the lamp control
knob all the way
out to turn the headlamps on. Push the control knob all
the way back

This feature activates the headlamps and parlung lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately
20 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must
be in the on position. This feature
lights the way
in poor weather and it also makes your
vehicle more visible
to other dnvers. If the wiper activated
headlamps are on, and the i,gpition switch
is turned off, the
wiper activated headlamps will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn
OR the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned
off for a period of one or
two seconds.
You will hear a warning chime if you open either door
while leaving
the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated.
An exception to this is when you’re
using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRE) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day.
DIU can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but
they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DIU system will make the high-beam headlamps
come
on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition
is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle
is not in PARK (P).
When DRE are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be
on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when
the DlRE are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t
be lit up either.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when either
door is opened and it is dark outside. Press
the button to
turn them
on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove
box lamp, cigarette lighters or
the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned
off, the power
to these features will automatically
turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
or less). Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the
DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle
in a storage mode so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and
RKE will not
drain
the battery over a long period of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time
for about two seconds. The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the
TRIP SET (TRIP RESET’) button to answer “yes”
or press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
“no” response.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FEATURE ON appears when a yes response is made
and
FEATURE OFF shows when a no response is made.
Since this
is the last personalization feature available, a
yes or no response
will end out of the DIC display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key
has been turned off. The WKE will
also be disabled at this point. The RKE will reactivate
when a door
or the trunk is opened, however, if your
vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes, the RKE
will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay
in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out
of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the door key is inserted
into the door,
however,
your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of
LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled. This mirror automatically changes to reduce
glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it
is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change
may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return
to its clear daytime
state
when the glare is reduced.
