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 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.
Battery Replacement
' '1
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 dose to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it's probably time
to change the batteries.

Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key@II
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@II 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
SECURITY light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition off.

Clean and dry the key. 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 seivice. 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@II.
If you accidentally use a
key that has a damagea or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work But 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.
If you’re ever driving and you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION”
message you
will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key% system, however, is not working properly and must be
serviced by your Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key@II system.
