Push the switch to either “HI” or “LO” to turn on the heating element in
the seat.
- .- Designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days, the “LO” setting
warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates body
temperature. On colder days, the
“HI” setting heats the seats to an even
__ higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the seats,
the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the setting selected. A telltale light on the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and is deactivated when the ignition is turned off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
air bag system. 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. The air bag system does not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dealer and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.
I
I
A CAUTION: I
I For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery 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. Be sure to follow the proper service
procedures.
I
When electrical work is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be in “Lock”
if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape, or yellow connectors. They are probably part of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has a driver’s air bag and a right front passenger’s air bag.
Both air bags must be disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for
electrical work or if the steering column is to be disassembled.
Disconnect both air bags like this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
Disconnect both yellow connectors at the base of the steering column.
the
Index).
When the work
is complete, if the air bag system was disconnected, be
sure to reattach everything and replace the fuse before turning the
ignition
on. When you turn the ignition key on, be sure you see the
inflatable restraint light on the instrument panel. If you don’t see this
light flash and then go out as usual, have your air bag system repaired.

THEFT
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.
Key in the ignition: If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- 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 transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night: 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.
Parking Lots: 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 if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
