Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Servicing Your Cadillac with the Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works on your Cadillac that it has the
air bag system. 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. The air bag system does not need regular
maintenance. Your Cadillac dealer and the
1993 Cadillac Service Manual
have information about the air bag system, including repair or disposal.

A CAUTION: I
I For up to 2 minutes after the ignition key is turned off and the
battery 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. Be sure to follow the proper service
procedures.
I
When electrical work is done under the hood or inside your vehicle, the
ignition should be in “Lock”
if possible. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape, or yellow connectors. They are probably part of the air bag system.
Your vehicle has a driver’s air bag and a right front passenger’s air bag.
Both air bags must be disconnected
if the ignition has to be on for
electrical work or if the steering column is to be disassembled.
Disconnect both air bags like this:
Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
Disconnect both yellow connectors at the base of the steering column.
the
Index).
When the work
is complete, if the air bag system was disconnected, be
sure to reattach everything and replace the fuse before turning the
ignition
on. When you turn the ignition key on, be sure you see the
inflatable restraint light on the instrument panel. If you don’t see this
light flash and then go out as usual, have your air bag system repaired.

provided they are equipped with exactlv the same model svstem. (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.

pedal. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining
your battery.
When starting your engine
in very cold weather (below 0 F or -18 C), do
this:
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn the ignition key to
“Start” and hold it there. After
two seconds, push the accelerator
pedal about one-third
of the way down. When the engine starts, let go
of the key. Use the accelerator pedal to maintain engine speed,
if you
have to, until your engine has run for a while.
2.
If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key
in “Start”
for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
