Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain 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. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are 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, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a quarter to
rotate the cover slightly counterclockwise.

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 leave 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. 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.
0 Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and Keyless Entry key chain
with you.

SECURITY
SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm system
and a
fuel filler door lock
release.
If the ignition is off,
the SECURITY SYSTEM
light will flash as you open
the door, reminding you to
activate the system.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door locks or the
Keyless Entry System. The SECURITY SYSTEM
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY SYSTEM light
should go
off.
The horn will sound and the lamps will flash when the
door or trunk are opened without the key or the Keyless
Entry System or if the locks are damaged.
Remember, the Theft-Deterrent System won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
arms only
if you use the power door locks or the
Keyless Entry System.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the door key after
the doors are closed
if you don’t want to activate
the system.
Always unlock a door with a key or the Keyless
Entry System. Unlocking a door any other way will
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key or the Keyless Entry System. The alarm
won’t
stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
