THEFT DETEWNT (OPTION)
SECURIT”
SYSTFM
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a theft
deterrent alarm system.
With this system,
the
“SECURITY
SYSTEM” light
will
flash as you open the
door (if your ignition
is
off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The “SECURITY SYSTEM” light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY SYSTEM” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key, the alarm
will go off. It
will also go
off if a door lock or the trunk lock is damaged. Your vehicle’s
lights will flash and the horn will sound.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm
if you lock the doors
with a key or manual door lock. It arms only
if you use a power door lock
switch or Keyless Entry System.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

any other way will set

The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
How to Test The Alarm
r 0 From inside the vehicle roll down your window, then get out of your
vehicle keeping the door open.
0 From outside the vehicle with the door open, lock the vehicle using
the power door lock or the Keyless Entry System and close the door.
0 Once the interior lights are off, reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock. Open the door, the horn will sound and your headlights
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.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the theft deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-KEY@II
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key@II
is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the
key from the ignition. PASS-Key@II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key@II system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel won’t
go to the engine. If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make a
match.
The ignition
key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start. If the engine does not start and and the
“PASS
KEY FAULT” light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition off.

Include an ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield
washer fluid, a rag, some winter outer clothing, a small shovel,
a
flashlight, a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if
you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a
piece
of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags to help provide traction. Be
sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle.

Trailer Wiring Harness
I
If your Fleetwood is equipped with one of the heavy duty trailering
options, a
5 wire trailering harness is located in the trunk. You may have
to have it wired to your vehicle.
These trailer harness color codes should be followed when connecting to
your trailer:
White: Direct Trailer Ground for Trailer Lights
Brown: Park Lamps
Yellow: Left Turn and Stop Lamps
Dark Green: Right Tuh and Stop Lights
Dark Blue: Auxiliary Circuit
DRIFTNG WTHA TWLER
Safe trailer towing requires a certain amount of experience. Before
setting out
for the open road, you'll want to get to know your rig.
Acquaint-yourself with the feel
of handling and braking with the added
weight of the trailer. Always keep in mind that the vehicle you are driving
is longer and not nearly as responsive as your vehicle is by itself.
Before you start, check the trailer hitch and safety chains, electrical
connector, lights, tires and mirror adjustment.
If the trailer has electric
brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and apply the trailer brakes
by hand to be sure the brakes are working. This also checks your
electrical connection at the same time.
During your trip check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure and
that the lights and trailer brakes are operating correctly.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.

Tire Chains
NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only when you must. Use
only
SAE Class “S” type chains that are the proper size for your
tires. Install them
on the rear tires and tighten them as tightly
as possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and
follow the chain manufacturer‘s instructions.
If you can hear
the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten them. If
the contact continues, slow down until it stops. Driving too fast
with chains on
will damage your vehicle.
APPEARANCE CARE
Remember, cleaning products can be hazardous. Some are toxic. Others
can burst into flame if
you strike a match or get them on a hot part of the
vehicle. Some are dangerous
if you breathe their fumes in a closed space.
When you use anything from a container
to clean your Cadillac, be sure
to follow the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. And always open
your doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside.
