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.
