This lock gives you five
different positions.
Before you
put the key in, your ignition will be in the LOCK position.
This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transaxle. It’s a theft
deterrent feature.
The other positions let you perform these functions:
ACCESSORY: This position lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when
the engine is off. To get into ACCESSORY, push
in the key and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked,
just
as it was before you inserted the key.
LOCK: Before you put the key in, your ignition will be in the LOCK
position. This is the only position in which you can remove the key. This
position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission. It’s a theft
deterrent feature.
OFF
This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like LOCK. Use OFF if you must
have your car in motion while the engine
is off (for example, if your car is
being pushed).
RUN: This is the position for driving.
START: This starts your engine.

Hold down both buttons until you see the red light on the HomeLink
Transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take
up to
90 seconds, indicates that the HomeLink TM Transmitter has been
programmed.
Release both buttons once the light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
TM Transmitter, make
sure that
you have followed the directions exactly as described and that the
batteries in the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program
it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over end and try again.
The HomeLink TM Transmitter may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If
you cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult your
Cadillac dealer or call
1-800-355-35 15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in case you need to
erase and reprogram the HomeLink TM transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your hand-held transmitter
may stop transmitting after one or two seconds. If you are programming
from one
of these transmitters, the HorneLink TM indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter
with a series of double blinks.
After you reactivate your hand-held transmitter, the HolneLink
TM light
should flash rapidly. If
it flashes slowly, continue to periodically rc-activate
your hand-held transmitter
until the light flashes rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press the appropriate button on the HomcLink TM Universal Transmitter.
The red light comes on while the signal is being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the HomeLink" Transmitter
may differ from your hand-held transmitter and from one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the two outside
buttons until the red light begins
to flash. Individual channels cannot be
erased,
but can be reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.
