The control panel is located in 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.

Your vehicle is equipped with this feature. If you leave the key in the
ignition whether in the Accessory, Lock, or
Off position with the driver’s
door open, you cannot lock your vehicle using the power locks.
If you
close
the door you can lock it using the Remote Keyless Entry System. It
is always recommended that you remove your ignition key when locking
your vehicle.
Illuminated Entry System
Your illuminated entry system turns on all the courtesy lights when either
front door is opened. When the door is closed, the courtesy lights will stay
on for approximately 20 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
REMOTE KEIZESS ENTRY SYSTEM
With this feature you can turn on your interior lights, lock and unlock
your doors, or unlock your trunk from up to
15 feet (4.5 m) using the key
chain transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
Your Remote Keyless Entry System is intended to be used as a
supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to replace, but
rather should
be used in conjunction with a door lock key. It operates on
a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) Rules.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Should interference to this system occur, try this:

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
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 close to your vehicle
before the transmitter works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.

If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock it up
and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave something valuable in your
vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
THEFT DETEWNT (OPTION)
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a Theft
Deterrent Alarm
System. With this
system, the
“SECURITY” light
will flash as you open
the door (if your
ignition is
off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft deterrent system. Here’s how to
do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the- power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
System. The “SECURITY” light should come
on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The “SECURITY” light should go off.
If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or Keyless Entry System,
the alarm will go
off. It will also go off if the trunk lock is damaged. Your
vehicle’s lights will flash and the
horn willsound for 3 minutes, then will
go off to save battery power.

1. Don’t push the accelerator pedal before starting your engine. In some
other vehicles you might need to do this, but because of your vehicle’s
computer systems, you don’t.
2. Turn your ignition key to “Start.” When the engine starts, let go of the
key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm.
3. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in “Start” for about 15
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about one minute
between each try to help avoid draining your battery.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in “Start” for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.

4. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in “Start”
for about three seconds.
If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing, but this time keep the pedal down for five or
six seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
