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.

When a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealership removes the plugs from
the door 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 knock out 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 II@ blanks to help discourage
theft. Keep the bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe place. If you
lose your keys, you will be able to have new ones made easily using the
plug or bar code tag.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number
of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for
joy riders or professional thieves -- so don’t do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
chime reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take it
with you. Always do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will
your ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out
of sight. Put them in a storage area, or take
them with
you.

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.
