PASS  Key  II'system 
The  round  key  is for 
the  doors and  all other 
locks. 
When  a new  Cadillac  is  delivered,  the  dealer removes the plugs  from 
the  keys. 
Each  plug  has  a code  on  it  that tells  the  dealer  or  a qualified  locksmith 
how  to make  extra  keys.  However,  the ignition  keys  do not have a 
knockout  plug.  The ignition  keys  have  a bar code tag attached  to them. 
Your  dealer  or  qualified  locksmith,  by reading  the bar code  tag,  can then 
make  your  ignition  keys. 
There  are 
15 alternative  ignition  Pass  Key 11' blanks to help  discourage 
theft. Keep  the bar code tag  and the  door  key  plugs  in  a safe  place.  If  you 
loose  your  keys  you  will  be  able to have  new  ones made  easily  using  the 
plug  or  bar  code tag.
