There is a master key that works all of the lock cylinders
(driver's door, trunk, ignition and glove box).
There is also a VALET key which only operates the

transponder in the key head that matches a decoder in
the vehicle's instrument panel. If a replacement key or
any additional key is needed, you must purchase this key
from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it.
Keep the bar code tag that came with the original keys.
Give this tag to your dealer if you need a new key made.Any new PASS
-Key III key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See ªPASS
-Key IIIº in
the Index for more information on programming your
new key.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that

trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside and you may have to damage
your vehicle to get in. Be sure you have an
extra key.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside Assistance.
See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index.
If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system with
an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, OnStar may be able to send a command to
unlock your vehicle. See ªOnStarº in the Index for
more information.

2-10 Anti-Lockout Feature
Leaving the key in the ignition with any door open will
disable the power door lock switches as well as the lock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. If you

keyless entry transmitter. It is always recommended that
you remove the ignition key when locking your vehicle.
The anti
-lockout feature can be overridden by holding
the power door lock switch for three seconds or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
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. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.
Vehicles are delivered with two transmitters.
See your dealer for information on how to obtain
additional transmitters.

2. Once the transmitter is separated, use an object like
a pencil to remove the old battery. Do not use a
metal object.
3. Insert the new battery as the instructions under the
cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Press any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to resynchronize the transmitter.
6. Check the operation of the transmitter.
Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

2-17
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle 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.
Key in the Ignition
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 vehicle 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 ignition and transaxle will be
locked. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
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.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
trunk or glove box.

Be sure to close and lock the storage area.

Close all windows.

Move the valet lockout switch to ON.

Lock the glove box.

Lock all doors except the driver's.

Give the valet key to the valet. Then take the
master key with you.

2-18
Theft-Deterrent System
The SECURITY light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the SECURITY
light will flash, reminding you to arm the system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The SECURITY light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should
go off within approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a remote
keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will flash for about 30 seconds.Remember, the theft
-deterrent system won't arm if you
lock the doors with a key or use the manual door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock with the
door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do
the following:

The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don't want to arm the theft
-deterrent system.

Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter system. Pressing the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
disables the theft
-deterrent system. Unlocking a
door any other way will activate the alarm when a
door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver's
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm
by using the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter system, or by starting the car with
a valid key.
Changes or modifications made to this system by
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.

2-19 Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window,
then get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open,
lock the vehicle using the power door lock or the
remote keyless entry system and close the door.
Wait 30 seconds until the SECURITY lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual
lock and open the door. The horn will sound and
the hazard lights will flash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver's
door with your key, using the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter or by starting the
car with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº
in the Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,
you may need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft
-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Valet Lockout Switch
The valet lockout switch
is located inside the
glove box.
Press the switch to ON to disable the use of the trunk,
fuel door, garage door opener and cellular telephone
(option). The remote keyless entry transmitter cannot
open the trunk or the fuel door if the valet lockout
switch is in ON.
Press this switch to OFF to enable the use of the
trunk, fuel door, garage door opener and cellular
telephone (option).
Locking the glove box with your key will also help
to secure your vehicle.
