theft deterrent alarm
system. With this
system, tht “SECURITY” light
will flash
as you open
the door (if your
ignition
is off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Opcn the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The “SECURITY” light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm
will go off. It will also go off if a door lock or the trunk lock is
damaged. Your vehicle’s lights will flash and the horn will sound for 3
minutes, then will go off to save battery power. And, your vehicle will not
start.

Your Cadillac has a “tamper-resistant odometer.” On the analog
odometer, if
you see silver lines between the numbers, probably someone
has tried to turn it back.
The numbers may not be true. If you have the
optional digital odometer, it will say
ERROR if someone has tampered
with it.
You may wonder what happens
if a car has to have a new odometer
installed. If possible, the new one
has to be set to the same reading the
old one had.
If it can’t be, then it’s set at zero, but a label on the driver’s
door must show the old reading and when the new one was installed.
WMING LIGHTS
This section describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights go on when there may be or is a problem with one
of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key just to
let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happens.
