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 the remaining
transmitter with you when you
go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter must also be matched. Once the new transmitter
is coded, the
lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactlv the same model svstem. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
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.

If your Cadillac has this
option,
it has a Theft
Deterrent Alarm
System.
With this
system, the
“SECURITY” 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” light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY’’ light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm will go
off. It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lights
will flash and the horn will sound for 3 minutes, then will
go off to save battery power.
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

do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to “Pn (Pa.rk) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
1. Don’t push the accelerator pedal before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do this, but because
of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
2. Turn your ignition key to “Start.” When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.
3. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in “Start ” for about three
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds
between each try to help avoid draining your battery.
4. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in “Start”
for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.

c
Your Fuel Data Panel teUs you all you want to know about your fuel economy
and how
far you can travel with the fuel remaining. Here’s how it works.
DATA: Push this button to toggle between “ INST MPG” (instantaneous
miles per gallon) or the “AVG MPG” (average mile per gallon) displays.
You can also display it in metric units by pressing the “ENG MET” button.
RESET: Push this button to reset the “ AVG MPG” to zero.
AVG MPG (Average Fuel Economy): When “ AVG MPG” is selected, the
total distance is divided by the total fuel used.
INST (Instantaneous Fuel Economy): When “ INST MPG” is selected,
you
will see what your fuel economy is at that instant. The computer
takes a new reading twice
every second. It will show economy up to 70
miles per gallon (or 2 liters per 100 Kilometers).
RANGE: This display shows how far the computer thinks you can go with
the fuel that is in your tank. The computer does not know what driving
conditions
will be like for the rest of your trip, so the range is estimated
based on your previous fuel economy. Therefore, your range reading may
change as your driving habits change (going from city to highway driving
may increase the range reading).
When you get down to
40 miles to go (or, in metric 64 km) the range
display will show
“Lo”.
Your computer needs enough data for the “RANGE” reading to work,
however,
so it will read “Lo”for a while when your vehicle is brand new
(under
25 miles). Also, it will show “Lo” for a while if your battery has
been disconnected.

Pressing this button will turn off the Driver Information Center,
Electronic Climate Control and Fuel Data Center displays. While
displays are off, pressing the “INFORMATION” button
will turn on only
the Driver Information Center. If any other button is pressed or a driving
warning message needs to be displayed, or fuel level falls below
4 gallons,
all the displays
will come back on.
TRIP SET
Press and hold this button to set the Trip Odometer back to zero.
ENG/MET (English/Metric)
Press this button to switch from English (miles) to metric (kilometers).
Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed in one of your
vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that are first sold
in Canada or are export
vehicles
will have a number after each message. This number helps to
identify that message, which is only displayed in English.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
This message will appear if your vehicle is in “P” (Park) for about 5
seconds and the brake is not depressed. If you do not want this message
to appear, you can cancel this message by pressing the
OFF and the Blue
(cooler) button
on the Electronic Climate control panel. Push the same 2
buttons again to have this message displayed again.
If the refrigerant system ever reaches an over-pressure condition, this
message will appear to tell you that the air conditioning compressor has
been turned off. Air conditioned air
will not be delivered to cool your
vehicle. If the pressure returns to a normal operating range, you must
select “AUTO”, “DEFOG”
, or Defrost to start the compressor. If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired as soon as
possible to avoid compressor damage.
A/C OVERHEATED - A/C COMPRESSOR OFF
BATTERY NO CHARGE
This message will appear if your battery is not being charged. Have your
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at your earliest
convenience.
