Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key’II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key% 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’II uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% 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 engine does not start and the -

IGNITION KEY messgge is displayed the key may be dirty or wet. 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 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 fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your vehicle 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-K@II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work, you don’t have to wait three minutes before trying
one
of the other ignition keys.
See your Cadillac dealer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have
a new key made.

NEW VEHICLE “BREAK-IN”
NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it
will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or slow -- for the first 500
miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or
i so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear
and earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
