Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
@ Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with
you.
SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
either door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash,
reminding
you to activate
the system (the light will
also flash
if the battery
has been disconnected and reconnected)
.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock or the RKE
system. The SECURITY light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close both doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.
The horn will sound and the lamps will flash for about
30 seconds when the door or trunk is opened without the
key or RKE system. The horn also sounds if the locks
are damaged.
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 RKE system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
8 The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock switch after the doors are
closed if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock
a door with a key or use the RKE
system. (Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.)
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm. Turning the ignition key to
RUN without
disarming the theft-deterrent system will also
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock either door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by using
the unlock button
of the RKE system. The alarm won’t
stop if you
try to unlock a door any other way.

the vehicle using the power
door lock or the RKE

SECURITY lamp goes off.
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.

optional theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle. Pressing
the VALET button
located inside the glove
box
will disable the use of. the
trunk, fuel door and garage’
~ door opener. Pressing this
button again will make
these features reusable.
’ ’ Locking the glove box witk
the door key
will also help
to secure your vehicle.

trunk or fuel door if the VALET button is pressed in.

This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be
on your vehicle. The pictures will help YOU
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save
you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come
on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you
will see
in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when
YOU start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there
may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning Bights work together to let
YOU know when
there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When one
of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when YOU are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check
the section that tells YOU
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re
a big help.
Your vehicle also
has a Driver Information Center that
works along with
the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center” later in this section.
When the key is turned
to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for
about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless
the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light
will
also come on and stay
for about
20 seconds,
then it will flash
for about
70 seconds. If the driver’s
belt
is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
