Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get
out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or
the Keyless
Entry system
and close the door. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash.
If the alm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the\

Index.
If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
optional theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-Key%
I Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
I1
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key is
removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
11 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key that
is read by a decoder module-in your vehicle. If the key
resistor matches the code stored
in the vehicle module, the
vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will
be enabled. If an
incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel and starting
systems are disabled for three minutes. Additional attempts
during
this lockout period will not start the car.
If the engine does not start and the STARTING
DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM, REMOVE
IGNITION KEY message is displayed in the Driver
Information Center, your
key should be checked for
damage.
Starting may be attempted with an undamaged
2-13

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine key immediately. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith for
key service.
If the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM, REMOVE IGNITION KEY and WAIT
3 MINUTES messages are displayed, the key should
be cleaned and dried. After three minutes,
try again.
A START CAR message will appear at this time. If
the engine still does not start, wait 3 minutes and try a
duplicate key.
At this time, fuses should be checked (see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). If the engine
does not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your Cadillac dealer
for service.
If the THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM message is
displayed during vehicle operation,
your vehicle needs
servicing. Your vehicle will restart
if you turn it off;
however, your vehicle may be unprotected. See your
Cadillac dealer for service.
If an ignition key is lost or damaged, see your Cadillac
dealer
or a locksmith to have a new key made.
New Vehicle CLBreak-In’’
NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it
will perform better in the long
run if
you follow these guidelines:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time
you get new brake linings.
0 Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See
“Towing
a ’Ilrailer” in the Index for more
information.
0 Avoid making hard stops for the first
2-14
3.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the DIC
will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about
a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may
be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and then release
it to change the
headlamps
from low beam
to high
or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will
be on
indicating high beam usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works
even
if the headlamps are ‘off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to use. When
you do:
0 If the headlamps are off, the high-beam headlamps
will turn
on. They’I1 stay on as long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn them
off.
0 If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high
beam and stay there. Pull the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward you.

I A CAUTION:
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if
you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, and the proper replacement
parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English’ and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
Fuel
Use premiurn unleaded gasoline rated at 91 octane or
higher.
At a minimum, it should meet specifications ASTM
D4814 in the United States and CGSB 3.5-M93 in Canada.
Improved gasoline specifications have been developed by
the American Automobile Manufacturers Association
(AAMA) for better vehicle performance and engine
protection. Gasolines meeting the
AAMA specification could provide improved driveability and emission control
system protection compared to other gasolines.
Be sure the posted octane for premium is at least
91. If
the octane is less than
91, you may get a heavy knocking
noise when you drive.
(In an emergency, you may be
able to use a lower octane
-- as low as 87 -- if heavy
knocking does not occur.) If you’re using
91 or higher
octane unleaded gasoline and you still hear heavy
knocking, your engine needs service.
If your vehicle is certified to meet California Emission
Standards (indicated on the underhood tune-up label),
it is designed to operate on fuels that meet California
specifications. If such fuels are not available
in states
adopting California emissions standards, your vehicle
will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal
specifications, but emission control system performance
may be affected. The malfunction indicator lamp on
your instrument panel may
turn on and/or your vehicle
may fail a smog-check test. If this occurs, return to your
authorized Cadillac dealer for diagnosis to determine the
cause
of failure. In the event it is determined that the
cause of the condition is the type of fuels used, repairs
may not be covered by your warranty.

Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac
unless you check with your dealer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered
by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment
can keep other components from working
as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical
to your Cadillac, see “Servicing
Your
Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered
by a MaxiFuse? An electrical overload will
cause
the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse is a registered trademark of Little Fuse
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is
caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have. it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse,
you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.’
Replace
it as soon as you can.
There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: the engine compartment fuse block, the MaxiFuse relay center
and
the rear compartment fuse block.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The fuse block is located next to the air filter on the
driver’s side
of the engine. Lift the cover to gain access.
