slightly higher temperature.
A telltale light in the control reminds you that the
heating system is in use.
The heated seats can only be

Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about
safety belts and children. And there are different rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be riding
in your Cadillac, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s
protection.
First, you’ll want
to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
Driver Position
This part describes the driver’s restraint system.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s how to wear it
properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see “Seats” in the Index)
so you can sit up straight.
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Pull up
on the latch plate to make sure it is secure.
If the belt isn’t long enough, see “Safety Belt
Extender’’ at the end
of this section.
Make sure the release button
on the buckle is
positioned
so you would be able to unbuckle the
safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
Don’t
let it
get twisted.

To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt.
It will be ready to work for an adult or larger
child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Y
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never-
put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured
if the right front passenger’s air
bag inflates. This is because the back
of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint
in the rear seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the top strap if the child restraint has
one.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air
bag, always move the seat
as far back as it will go
before securing a forward-facing child restraint. (See
“Seats’’ in the Index.)
Put the restraint
on the seat. Follow the instructions
for the child restraint.
Secure the child in the child restraint
as the
instructions say.
Pick up
the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder
portions
of the vehicle‘s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
If the shoulder belt goes
in front of the child‘s face or
neck, put
it behind the child restraint.

optional theft-deterrent system.
a Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to
open the fuel door.
The Keyless Entry transmitter can also be used to recall
the memory seats
for up to two drivers. For more
information, see “Memory Seat” in the Index.
Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times
(approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not to
work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons
10 or
more times out
of range will also cause the transmitter not to work.
To reset the transmitter, you must be within
the vehicle’s operating range.
Press and hold the trunk
button and within one second press the lock button.
Continue to hold both buttons
for approximately three
seconds. See your Cadillac dealer for service if your
transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
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. Once the new transmitter is coded, the
lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to it.

the cord as it was before to keep it away from
moving engine
parts. If you don’t, it could be
damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind of oil you have and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here we ask that you contact
your Cadillac dealer in the area where you’ll
be parking
your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for
that particular area.
Automatic Transaxle Operation
The automatic transaxle may have either a shift lever
located on the steering column or on the console.
between the seats.
There are several different
positions for the shift lever.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather. adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets
of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout your
vehicle.
The direction
of airflow for the rear seats can also be
adjusted. Move the
FAN lever to adjust the blower speed
from
LO to HI. Move the VENT lever to direct airflow
toward the upper or floor outlets.

vehicle and result in costly repairs not covered by
your warranty.
To pull a trailer correctly, follow
the advice in
