Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
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 any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer
matches the replacement transmitter
to your vehicle, the remaining
transmitters 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
two 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.

THEFT
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
Cadillac has a number of theft detcrrent 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.

your Cadillac serviced.
