why:
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top
strap
if the child restraint has one.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag, always move
the seat as far back as it will go before securing a forward-facing child
restraint. (See “Seats”
in the Index.)

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-KEY’II
I 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 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 different 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
SECURITY light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition
off.
Cle2n 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 another 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%.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or missing resistor pellet,
the starter won’t work and the SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t
have to wait three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Cadillac dealer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key@II
to have a new key made.

Put small loads, like grocery
bags, behind the net. It can help keep them
from falling over during sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
The net
is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the trunk as far
forward
as you can. When not using the net, hook the net to the tabs,
securing it to the sill plate.
