The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACC: Accessory lets you use things like the radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is
off. To get into “ACC”, push in the key and turn
it toward
you. Yoursteeringwheel will remain locked, just as it was
before you inserted the key.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off”
if you
must have your car in motion while the engine is
off (for example, if your
car is being pushed).
RUN This is the position for driving.
START This starts your 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 Cadillae is moving. If you
do, you could .damage the transmission. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle
is stopped. ”. .

Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
To signal a turn, move
the lever all the way up
or down. When the
turn is finished, the
lever
will return
automatically.
To signal a lane change. slightly move the lever up or down. When the
lane change is finished release the lever.

A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just
stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have
a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights,
a different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the
signal indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check
the front and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are
working.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition, most

Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
