CADILLAC SEVILLE 1996 4.G Repair Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The square key is for the
ignition only. It has a
resistor pellet which is part
of the vehicle's
PASS-Key@II system.
The oval key is
for the
doors and all other locks. When
a new
Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
the plug from the door key. The plug has
a code on it
that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached to it rather than
a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
There are
15 alternative ignition PASS-Key I1 blanks to
help discourage theft. Keep the bar code tag and the
door key plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you will be able
to have new ones made using the plug
or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft.
You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your keys inside and
you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
Be sure you have extra keys.

-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When
a door is
locked, the inside handle won't open it.

door when you
slow down or stop your vehicle.

so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a
crash if the doors aren't locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be far
better
off whenever you drive your vehicle.

inside.
