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 a
slightly 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.
Head Restraints
Slide the head restraint up or down so that the top of the restraint is
closest to the top of your ears. This position reduces the chance of a neck
injury
in a crash.
The head restraints
tilt forward and rearward also.

Matching Transmitter (s) To Your Vehicle c_
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.
--E-
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
I_
LJ
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.
1. Use the round end
of the door key, or a
coin,
to rotate the
cover
counterclockwise
1/16 of a turn.

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.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key with you.
THEFT DETERRENT (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 using the power door lock switch or Keyless Entry
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off.
System. The SECURITY light should come on and stay on.

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 will sound for three minutes and
then the alarm will
go off to save battery power.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t turn it, be sure
it is all the
way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or the
ignition switch.
If none of this works, then your vehicle needs
service.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
-- that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Cadillac is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to PARK
(P) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
To start your Northstar V8 engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to
START When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
- -- 2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in START for about three
seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds
between
each try to help avoid draining your battery.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your left headlamp and left taillamp may be on as you start your
engine, but the right headlamp and taillamp won’t. This provides some
light as
you start but doesn’t drain your battery as much.
3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then stops), it could be
flooded with too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all
the way to the floor and holding it there as
you hold the key in START
for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops
again, do the same thing.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your
vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the fuel injection system operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer.
If you
don’t, your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see the part of this
manual that tells how to do it without damaging your vehicle.
See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.
DMNG THROUGHDEEP STANDING
WATER
NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine’s air intake and badly
damage your engine. Never drive through water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you can’t avoid
deep puddles
or standing water, drive through them very slowly.
