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,

BASS-Key
11 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that is read by the system in your vehicle. If the key
resistor matches the code stored
in the vehicle system,
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 Curing this
lockout period will not start the car,
even with the correct key.
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

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.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the
wiper stalk to one of the five sensitivity levels within the
AUTO DELAY
area. The AUTO DELAY position
closest to
OW is the lowest sensitivity setting. This
allows more water to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Rotating the stalk away from you to the other
AUTO DELAY settings increases the sensitivity of the
system and frequency
of wipes. A single wipe will occur
each time you
turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity
level.
An initial wipe occurs when you turn the ignition
on as a reminder that Rainsense
is active. The
windshield wipers also remain in a “high
park” position,
even when
the ignition is turned off.
The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well as
a continuous low or high speed depending on the amount
of moisture and the sensitivity level. The MIST and
“wash” cycles operate as normal and are not affected
by the Rainsense hnction.
It is important to note that the Rainsense wiping feature
(AUTO DELAY) can be overridden at any time by
manually changing the wiper control to EO or
HI
speed.
Note that
if you ever need to replace the windshield,
make sure it
is Rainsense compatible.

enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will
turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
When the twilight sentinel switch
is
on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go
off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will
take over for the DRL.
If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
