key battery CADILLAC SEVILLE 1997 4.G Owners Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they
inflate, you’ll need some new
parts for your air bag
system.
If you don’t get them, the air bag system
won’t be there
to help protect you in another crash.
A new system will include air bag modules and
possibly other parts. The service nmnual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and
diagnostic module, which records information about
the
air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness
of the system, when the sensors are
activated and driver‘s safety belt usage
at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag
system. lmproper service
can mean that your air bag
system won’t work properly. See your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver’s air
bag, it may not work properly. You may have to
replace the air bag module.
Do not open or break
the air bag covering.
g YOW Air
Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced.
There are parts
of the air bag system in several places
around your vehicle.
You don’t want the system to
inflate while someone
is working on your vehicle. Your
Cadillac dealer and the Cadiliac Service lManual have
information about servicing your vehicle and the air bag
system.
To purchase a service manual, see “Service and
Owner Publications”
in the Index.
-.
A CAtJTICjN:
For up to 10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned
off and the battery is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service.
You
can be injured if you are close to an air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow connectors. They are probably part of
the air bag system. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and nlake
sure the person
performing work
for you is qualified to do so.
Ths air bag system does not need regular maintenance.

Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
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.
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash.

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
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in
a storage mode so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and RKE will
not
drain the battery over a long period of time.
'To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(.INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time for about two seconds.
The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the
TRIP SET (TRIP RESET) button to answsr '.yes" or
press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
"no" response.
FEATURE ON appears when a yes response is made
and
FEATlJRE OFF shows when a no response is made.
Since this is the last personalization feature available,
a yes or no response will end out of the DIC display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed. your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key has been turned
off. The RKE will
also be disabled at this point. The RICE will reactivate
when
a door or the trunk is opened. however. if your
vehicle is
left inactive for another 30 minutes, the RKE
will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will
stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key
is turned out of LOCK. The system will
"wake-up" when the door key is inserted
into the door,
however, your vehicle
will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of LOCK before the battery
E Ouard is disabled.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The air bag readiness light should flash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the
light doesn’t come
on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready
to warn you if there is a problem.

When you turn the key
to RUN, this light will
come on briefly to show
that your generator and
battery charging systems
are working.
If this light stays on, you need service and you should
take your Cadillac to the dealer at
once. To save your
battery until you get there,
turn off all accessories.
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts.
If one part isn’t working, the other part can
still work and stop
you. For good braking though, you
need both parts working well.
if the warning light comes on, there could be a brake
problem.
Have. your brake system inspected right away.

Press the AVG button to display the average
mile-per-gallon (AVG MPG). You can also display it in
metric units by pressing the
ENGMET button.
When AVG MPG
is selected, the total distance is
divided by the total fuel used.
When the INST button (Instantaneous Fuel Economy) is
selected. you will see what the fuel economy is at that
instant. The computer takes
a new reading twice every
second.
It will show economy up to 70 miles-per-gallon
(or 2 L per- 100 ltm).
To reset the average fuel economy, press the
INFORMATION button until the AVG MPG is
displayed on the DIC. Press and hold the
RESET button
until both the fuel data center and DIC display reads
0.0.
The RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does
not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so the range is estimated
based on
the recent fuel economy. Therefore, the range
reading may change
as your driving habits change.
Going from city
to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon
as possible. Your computer needs enough data
for the RANGE reading to work. The
DIC display gives you the
status of many of your
vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to display driver
personalization features and warninghtatus messages.
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
features that can be individually customized for up
to two drivers.
