Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from the inside when
this feature is in use.
When you want to open a rear door when the security lock is on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time you move your
shift lever out
of “P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you
stop and move your shift lever into “P” (Park), your doors will unlock.
If
someone needs to get out while you’re not in “P” (Park), have that person
use the manual or power lock. When the door
is closed again, it will not
lock automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door
again.
You can also have this feature changed where the doors will stay locked
when you shift back into “P” (Park). Ask your dealer for details.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the locks from inside, get
out and close the door.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors by holding the
key in the turned
position for a few seconds.

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 exactly the same model system. (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.

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.

If YOU open the door while leaving the lights on, you will hear a warning
tone.
Interior Lights
Turn the headlight switch past HI to turn on the interior lights.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost
all the way in the other direction,
so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from only a few seconds to
90 seconds.

when:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The transaxle is not in “P7, (Park).
At dusk, if the Twilight Sentinel feature is turned on, the exterior lights
will come on automatically and the low beams will change to full
brightness. At dawn, the exterior lights will go out and the low beams will
change
to the reduced brightness of DRL (if the headlight switch is off).
Of course, you may still turn on the headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, shift the transaxle into “P7, (Park).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Oil Life Indicator s_
This feature lets you know when to change your engine oil. It’s based
upon the engine oil temperatures and your driving patterns.
To see the display,
press the Information
button several times
until “XX OIL LIFE
LEFT” appears.
You’ll see how much oil life you have left, as a percentage.
So, if you see
“95 OIL LIFE LEFT,” for example, that means that the way you’re
driving your car, 95% of your current oil life is still left.
The Oil Life Indicator may say to change the oil sooner than your
maintenance schedule. This can happen
if driving conditions, such as
short trips in cold weather, cause shorter oil life. Always keep a written
record
of the mileage and date when you last changed your oil. For more
information on when to change your oil, see the Cadillac Maintenance
Schedule Booklet.
If you see “CHANGE OIL SOON,” it means that you have less than 10%
of your oil life left, and you should consider changing your engine oil.
If you
see “CHANGE ENGINE OIL,” it means the oil life is gone and
you should change the oil right away (certainly within 200 more miles
[ 320 km]) .
The system probably will say to change the oil between 3000 miles (5000
km) and 7500 miles (12500 km), but it may even say to change it before
3000 under
very severe conditions. It all depends on your driving patterns.
If it’s been 7500 miles (12500 km) it always says to change the oil.
