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.

If
a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses’’ in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for approximately 23 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the twilight sentinel
must be in the
ON position. This feature lights the way in poor weather
and
it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper
activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the
wiper activated headlamps
will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate
if you turn off the twilight -
sentinel or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of
one or two seconds.

TRIP ~
SET I
By using this button,
you can tell how far
you’ve gone since you
last
set the TRIP SET
back to zero. To reset,
press and hold the
button until zeros
appear.
If your vehicle is domestic, the trip odometer will return to zero after
999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your vehicle is Canadian, the trip odometer will
return to zero after 1 999.9 km (1,242 miles).
WMING LIGHTS
This part describes the warning lights that are on your vehicle. The
pictures will help
you locate them.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying
attention to your warning lights could also save you or others from injury.
Warning lights come
on when there may be or is a problem with one of
your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come
on briefly when you start the engine just
to let you know they’re working.
If you are familiar with this section, you
should not be alarmed
when this happens.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow
this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can
be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights. They‘re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See “Driver Information Center‘‘ in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Brake System Warning Light
Your Cadillac’s hydraulic brake system
is divided into two
parts. If one part isn’t
working, the other part
can still work and stop
you.
For good braking,
though,
you need both
parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a brake problem. Have your
brake system inspected right away.
One of these lights should come on briefly as you start the vehicle. If it doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that
the pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also come
on when you set your
parking brake, and it will stay
on if your parking brake doesn’t release
fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means you
have
a brake problem.

c-. A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition and emission
control systems. One
of these lights should come on when the ignition is
on, but the engine
is not running, as a check to show you it is working. If
the light doesn’t come on, have it fixed right away. If it stays on or it
comes on while
you are driving, the computer is indicating that you have a
problem. You should take your vehicle in soon for service.

NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light on, after a while
the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy
won’t be
as good and your engine may not run as smoothly. This
could lead to costly repairs not covered
by your warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate
but stay in the right lane and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you will be increasing speed as the time comes to move into the other
lane. If the way is clear to pass, you
will have a “running start” that
more than makes up
for the distance you would lose by dropping back.
And if something happens
to cause you to cancel your pass, you need
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember
to glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving
out of the right lane to pass. When you
are far enough ahead
of the passed vehicle to see its front in your
inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back
into the right lane. (Remember that your right outside mirror is
convex. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you than it really is.)
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly. Even though the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to
turn.
0 If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get
ahead
of you. Perhaps you can ease a little to the right.
