SAFETYBELTS: THEY’RE FOR EVERYONE
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also
tells you some things you should not
do with safety belts.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.
This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder Light” in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts.
Here’s why: They work.
You never know if you’ll be in a crash.
If you do have a crash, you don’t
know if it will be a bad one.

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:

If you don’t want to arm the theft deterrent system, the vehicle should

door
any other way will set
off the alarm.

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.
83

A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just
stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have
a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights,
a different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the
signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check
the front and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are
working.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most
