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:

PASS-KEY 11 TM
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key I1
TM is a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key
’“ uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 TM system senses that someone is using the wrong
key,
it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won’t work and fuel
won’t go to the engine. If
someone tries
to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle
will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt
to make a
match.
The ignition
key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start. If the “SECURITY” light comes
on, the key
may be dirty or wet.
If this happens and the starter won’t work, turn the ignition off. Clean
and
dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The security
light
will remain on during this time. If the starter still won’t work, and

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine the key appears to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try the
other ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check the fuse (see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). If the starter won’t work with
the other key, your vehic1.e needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
first ignition
key may be faulty. See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith
who can service
the PASS-Key I1 TM .
However, if you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing
resistor pellet, the starter won’t work, the security light
will flash. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before trying one of the ignition keys.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the starter won’t work. Use
the other ignition key, and
see your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who
can service the Pass-Key
I1 TM to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and
the “SECURITY” light comes on and
continues to flash,
you get the PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION message ,
and the “STARTING DISABLED” message appears, you will be able to
restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key I1 TM system,
however, is not working properly and must be serviced bylour Cadillac
dealer. Your vehicle
is not protected by the PASS-Key I1 system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1
lM ignition key, see your Cadillac
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key I1
TM to have a new key
made.
