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 -
STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE L1
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.

BLOCK HEATER) (OPTION)
(CANADA ONLY)
In very cold weather, O°F (-1S”C) or colder, the engine coolant heater
can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.
A CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an
electrical
shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could
overheat and cause
a fie. You could be seriously injured. Plug
the cord into
a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt outlet. If
the cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension
cord rated for at least 15 amps.
NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord as
it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts.
If you
don’t, it could be damaged.
How long should
you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer
depends on the weather, the kind
of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact a Cadillac
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can
give you the best advice for that particular area.

This position gives you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use
“2” on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then
you would also want to use your brakes off
and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km),
or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your
transaxle. Use
“@” or “3” as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
“2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph
(105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.
1 (First Gear)
This position gives you
even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position on
a hill.
