ignition CADILLAC SEVILLE 1995 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Henry M. Leland, known as the
master of precision, initiated his pre-
cision manufacturing techniques at
the founding of Cadillac
in
1902. His exacting
standards prompted the
motto
by which Cadillac
has been guided over the
years
- “Craftsmanship
A Creed -Accuracy A
Law!’
The introduction of
the first four cylinder en- Club
of England awarded the
pres-
tigious
‘-
to Cadillac twice . . .
first in 1908 for achieving
gine in
1905 led the industry and
enabled Cadillacs to travel at speeds
up to
50 mph.
For attention to quality and in-
novation, the Royal Automobile
.. perfect interchangeability
of parts and again in
1912
for introducing the elec-
tric self starter, electric
lighting and ignition
system.
Cadillac is the only
American manufacturer
to win this honor and the
only manufacturer in the world
to win
it twice. As commonplace as stan-
dardized parts are today, in 1908 parts
were still individually hand fitted
both in production and service.

The control panel is located in the center console.
Move the switch to either
LO or HI to turn on the heating element in the
seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to a
slightly higher temperature.
To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to automatically
maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale light in the
control switch reminds you that the heating system is
in use. To preserve
the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition
is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
The head restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.

When a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes the plug from the
key. The plug has a code on it that tells the dealer or
a qualified locksmith --
how to make extra keys. However, the ignition key does not have a --
knock-out plug. The ignition key has a bar code tag attached to it. Your
dealer
or qualified locksmith, by reading the bar code tag, can then make -
your key.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASSmKEY’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 ignition key
that matches
a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% 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 different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make a
I--
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
SECURITY light comes on, 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 another 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. .I
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t
work and the SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t
have to wait three minutes before trying another ignition key. -

NEW WHICLE t4BREM-IN”
NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these
guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or slow -- for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear
and earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See “Towing a Bailer”
in the Index for more information.
