Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
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 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.

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

locked with the door key after the doors are closed.
Unlocking
a door any other way will set off the alarm.

do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to “Pn (Pa.rk) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
1. Don’t push the accelerator pedal before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do this, but because
of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
2. Turn your ignition key to “Start.” When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.
3. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in “Start ” for about three
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds
between each try to help avoid draining your battery.
4. 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.
