The Control Panel is located on the center console.
Move the switch to
either
LO or HI to
turn on the heating
element
in the 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.

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.

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.
