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 transaxle. 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.

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)
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 willsound for 3 minutes, then will
go off to save battery power.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
I*
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 differe\
nt 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 the
“STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE
IGNITION
KEY” message is displayed, the key may be dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The
security light may remain on during this time.
If the starter still won’t
work, and the
key appears to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and
try the other ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check
the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition
key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or
a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key’II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work But you don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one of the other ignition keys.
See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key’II
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION’ -
message you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key’II system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key’II system.
-
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II ignition key, see your Cadillac dealer -
or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key’II to have a new key made.

This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen

“TURN SIGNAL ON” (after driving about a mile) to
remind you to turn it off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Yeadlight High-Low Beam
To change the
headlights from low
beam to high or high to
low, pull the turn signal
lever all the way toward
you. Then release
it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue light
on the instrument
panel also
will be on.
