Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter
from unlocking yourwehicle. If a transmitter
is lost
or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Once the
new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to
it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key chain
transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
, ... ..
1. Use the round end of the door key or a coin to pry
open the transmitter.

Lamps on Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition while leaving the lamps
on, if the manual
headlamp control is activated. An exception to this is
when you’re using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day.
DRL can be helpful
in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in
the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The
DRL system will make the low-beam headlamps
come
on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the low-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be
on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the
DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit up either. When
it’s dark enough outside, the low-beam
headlamps (at reduced intensity) will change
to normal
low-beam headlamp operation. When it’s bright enough
outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and the low-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness
of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, tum off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Underhood Lamp
Turn the parking lamps on to operate the underhood lamp. The underhood
lamp will come on when the hood
is open.

Electrochromic DaylNight Rearview Mirror
Your Cadillac has an electrochromic day/night
rearview mirror.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare
from '
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken
to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The
mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.

Press the button at the base of the mirror to turn on the
automatic feature. The button has
an indicator light to
show it is on. Press the button to turn the automatic
feature
off.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
automatic mirror. When the shift lever is placed in
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode.
This gives
you a bright image in the mirror as you
back up.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature
work.

Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature work. Once the compass is calibrated,
it does not need to be
recalibrated. To calibrate
the compass:
1. Set the switch on the mirror control to C/M.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition switch on. The letter C
should be displayed in the mirror compass window.
If not, hold the CAL switch (on the bottom of the
mirror)
for more than 10 seconds, and the letter C
will appear. To hold in the CAL switch, insert a
paper clip into the small hole on the bottom of the
mirror housing. The display will show a number first, but keep holding until the letter
C appears.
3. For quick calibration, drive the vehicle in a
360-degree circle at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) until
the display reads a compass direction.
For nonnal
calibration, drive the vehicle
on your everyday
routine, and the compass will eventually calibrate.

1 999.9 km (1,242 miles).
INFORMATION: Pressing this button repeatedly will
display the AVG
MPG, FUEL USED, AVG MPH, OIL

can clock the time it takes to get from one point
to another.
To operate, press the TIMER button until TIMER
0O:OO:OO is displayed on the DIC. Each of the fields for
the hours, minutes and seconds are
two numeric digits.
Once TIMER
OFF 0O:OO:OO is displayed, press the
TIMER button to start the timing feature. Press the
TIMER button again to stop
it, If you will be starting
and stopping
your Cadillac, during a trip for instance,
the TIMER feature will automatically
start timing where
it left off when you last stopped. To reset it, press and
hold the RESET button until the display reads TIMER
0O:OO:OO. Press the INFORMATION button to exit from
the TIMER function.
RESET Pressing this button will reset the MPG AVG,
FUEL USED, AVG MPH and OIL LIFE LEFT. Pressing

cause
a “recall” mode to occur. When this happens, all
DIC warning messages that have been displayed since
the ignition key was turned to RUN will redisplay.
If no
messages were displayed, a MONITORED SYSTEMS
OK message will appear.
