PENALTY OF LEADERSHIP
IN every field of human endeavor. he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of publicity. IWhether the leadership be
vested
in a man or in a manufactured product. emulation and envy are ever at wnr-k. flh art, in literature, in music, in industry. the
reward and the punishment
are always the same. IThe reward is widespread recognition: the punishment, fiercc denial and
detraction. ¶When
a man's work becvrnes a standard for the whole world: it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious
few.
¶If his work be merely mediocre. he will hc lefr sev~rdy aPr:lne - if he achieve a masterpiece. it will set a million tongues

If I’m a good driver, and I never drive far from
home, why should I wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you’re in an
accident
-- even one that isn‘t your fault -- you and
your passengers can be hurt. Being a good driver
doesn’t protect
you from things beyond your
control,
such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 kmj of
home. And the greatest number of serious injuries
and deaths occur at
speeds of less than 40 tnph
(65 kdh).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Each remote keyless entry 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 your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two
transmitters matched to
it.
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.

When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred
to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Although your Cadillac has a number
of theft-deterrent
features,
we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways
you
can help.
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves -- so
don’t do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver‘s
door, you’ll hear a chime reminding
you to remove
your key from the ignition and take
it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so
will your ignition and transaxle. And remember to
lock the doors.
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables
out of sight.
Put them
in a storage area, or take them with you.
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle,
it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.

turn off the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned off' for a period of one or two seconds.
You will hear a warning chime if you open any door
while leaving
the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control
is activated. An exception to this is when you're
using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make
it easier for
others
to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make
the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off and
6 the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When
DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be
on. No other exterior- lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DRL are being used. YGW instsument panel
won't be lit
up either.
When the twilight sent!xL s\s-i:ch is 011 and it's dark
enough outside. the hi@1-ixaE
hea&s (at reduced
intensity)
will turn off and nor:nal low-beam headlamy
operation will occur.
When the t\:..iiight sentinel switch
is on and it's bright enough otltsids.
the regular lamps
will
go off, and the high-beax headlmps at reduced
brightness will
take ovc- for the DRL.
If it's dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is off. a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the DIC. This message infotms the driver
that turning
on the exterior lamps is reconmended even
though the
DRE are still illunlinated (it's become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning
on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch or the fog lamp switch will remove
the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL.
Ths DRL will stay off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle. you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.

This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove
box ianlp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When
the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the
DIC while the ignition is in the
