seat.
This feature is designed primarily for use on damp and chilly days. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates
body temperature.
On colder days, the HI setting heats the seats to an
even higher temperature. To prevent uncomfortable overheating of the
seats, the heating elements are thermostatically regulated to
automatically maintain the temperature at the selected setting.
A telltale
light in the control switch reminds you that the heating system is in use.
To preserve the battery, the heated seats can only be used when the
ignition is turned
on, and are deactivated when the ignition is turned off.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up 6r ,down so that the top of the restraint is
closest
to the top of your ears.
This position reduces the chance
of a neck injury in a crash. The head
restraints tilt forward and rearward also.

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 any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitters 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 exactly the same model system. (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.

about
two years.
You can tell
the batteries are weak if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the
way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
“N” (Neutral) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your Cad,illac is moving. If you
do, you
could damage the transaxle. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
1. Don’tpush 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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
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 engine 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.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle.
If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the
way the fuel injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you
don’t, your engine might not perform properly
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
Manual that tells how to
do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing
Your Cadillac” in the Index.

WATER
I NOTICE:

water, drive through them very slowly.
