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?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

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:

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.
