Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-KEY’II
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
I*
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 differe\
nt 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
“STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM REMOVE
IGNITION
KEY” message is displayed, the key may be dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try again. The
security light may remain on during this time.
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 service. 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 damaged 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.
See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key’II
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and you get the “PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION’ -
message you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key’II system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key’II system.
-
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II ignition key, see your Cadillac dealer -
or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key’II to have a new key made.

warm-up. Usually, the coolant warmer should be plugged in a minimum
of four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolant warmer:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt outlet.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or if it seems not
to shift gears
as you go faster, something may be wrong with a
transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far that way, your
vehicle can be damaged.
So, if this happens, have your vehicle
serviced right
away. Until then, you can use “2” (Second Gear)
when you
are driving less than 35 mph (56 km/h) and @
(Overdrive) for higher speeds.
3 (Third Gear)
This is like
@, but you never go into Overdrive.
Here are some times
you might choose “3” instead of 0:
- When driving on hilly, winding roads
- When towing a trailer, so there is less shifting between gears
- When going down a steep hill
2 (Second Gear)
This position gives
you more power but lower fuel economy. You can
use
“2” on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep
mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes
off
and on.
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in “2” (Second Gear) for more than 5 miles (8 km),
or at speeds over 55 mph (88 km/h), or you can damage your
transaxle. Use
“@” or “3” as much as possible.
Don’t shift into
“2” unless you are going slower than 65 mph
(105 km/h), or you can damage your engine.

This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy)
than
“2.” You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If
the selector lever is put in “1,” the transaxle won’t shift into first gear
until the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to drive. This might
happen
if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up
against
a solid object. You could damage your transaxle.

Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there
with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and
damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in
position on
a hill.

PARKlNG BRAKE
