Just close your doors, turn on the ignition and make sure the interior
courtesy lights are switched
off. Every time you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) all of the doors will lock. And, every time you stop and
move your shift lever into
“P” (Park), your doors will unlock. If someone
needs to get out while you’re not in
“P” (Park), have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it will not lock
automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the door again.
Leaving Your vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, set the locks from inside, get out and close
the door.
Central Door Unlocking System (Option)
Your vehicle may be equipped with this feature. When unlocking either
door, you can unlock the other doors
by holding the key in the turned
position for a few seconds.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lights when either
door is opened. When the door is closed, the courtesy lights will stay on
for approximately
20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from
up to 15 feet (4.5 m) using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System is intended
to be used as a
supplementary
vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but
rather should be used in conjunction with a door lock key.
It operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Ehicle
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. Remember to bring the remaining
transmitter with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitter must also be matched. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about
two years.
You can tell the batteries are 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 batteries.

THEFT
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.
Key in the ipition: If you walk away from 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.
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: 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?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.

If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a Theft
Deterrent Alarm System. With this
system, the
“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. Open 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 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.
Remember, the theft deterrent system won’t arm
if you lock the doors
with a key or manual door lock.
It arms only if you use a power door lock
switch or Keyless Entry System.
Here’s
how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to arm the theft deterrent system, the vehicle should
be locked with the door key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Keyless Entry System.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with your key. You
can also turn
off the alarm by using the Keyless Entry System, if you have
it. The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.
Unlocking
a door
any other way will set off the alarm.

This message is a reminder, after driving about a mile that you have your
turn
signal on.
TRUNK OPEN
This message indicates that your trunk is opcn when the Ignition is ON.
VERY LOW REFRIGERANT
This message means that the Air Conditioning system detects a
refrigerant level that is low enough to cause damage to the A/C
compressor.
To avoid damage, the A/C compressor automatically turns
off and the Electronic Climate Control will automatically switch from
“AUTO” to “ECON” and remain there. Have your
A/C system serviced if
this message appears.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS)
This system varies the amount of steering effort proportionate to your
vehicle speed. Steering is easier at
a lower speed for increased
maneuverability and parking ease.
As your vehicle speed increases, the
steering effort
is also increased proportionately. At highway speeds the
amount
of steering effort is greatly increased to provide a manual like
steering feel for maximum control
an enhanced vehicle stability.
Road Sensing Suspension (Northstar Only)
The Road Sensing Suspension automatically controls the ride of your
vehicle.
The system controls damping forces in the shock absorbers and
struts in response to various road and driving conditions. The system is
capable
of making these changes within milli-seconds.
The
Road Sensing Suspension controller is a computer used to control
and monitor the system. The computer receives inputs from vertical
acceleration sensors, wheel
to body position sensors, vehicle speed
sensor, lift and dive signals, and determines optimum strut valving or
(suspension stiffness) for your current operating conditions.
The
computer also receives feedback from the various components to
determine proper system operation. If the computer receives an incorrect
feedback from the system, an error code will be
set in memory and a
“SERVICE RIDE CONTROC’ message will display on the Driver

yours a little uphill to take some
of the pressure from the transaxle, so
you can pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).
WINTER DRZVTNG
Here are some tips for winter driving:
0 Have your Cadillac in good shape for winter. Be sure your engine
0 Snow tires can help in loose snow, but they may give you less traction
on ice than regular tires.
If you do not expect to be driving in deep
snow, but may have to travel over ice, you may not want
to switch to
snow tires at all.
coolant
mix is correct.
0 You may want to put winter emergency supplies in your trunk.
