with a key or use the manual door lock. It arms only
if you use a power
door lock switch or the Keyless Entry System.
__ Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
c-
If you don’t want to arm the Theft Deterrent system, the vehicle
should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the Keyless Entry System.
Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set off
the alarm by accident, unlock any door with your key. You
can also turn off the alarm by using the Keyless Entry System. The alarm
won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
How to Test the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle roll down your window, then get out of your

the door open.
power door lock or the Keyless Entry System and close the door.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock and open the
door. The horn
will sound and your headlamps 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. If the fuse does not need to be replaced
you may need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility
of theft, always arm the Theft Deterrent system
when leaving your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your left headlamp and left taillamp may be on as you start your
engine, but the right headlamp and taillamp won’t. This provides some
light as
you start but doesn’t drain your battery as much.
3. 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.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the fuel injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you
don’t, your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
DMNG THROUGHDEEP STANDING
WATER
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid
deep puddles
or standing water, drive through them very slowly.

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

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for approximately 23 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the twilight sentinel
must be in the
ON position. This feature lights the way in poor weather
and
it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper
activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the
wiper activated headlamps
will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate
if you turn off the twilight -
sentinel or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of
one or two seconds.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean as well
as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Headlamp Washer (Export Only)
If you have this feature, you will wash your headlamps while washing your
windshield at the same time. Just press the
