1996 CADILLAC ELDORADO keyless entry

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use
a power door lock
switch or the Keyless Entry system.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
0 The vehicle should be locked with the door key qfier
the doors are closed if you don’t want to activate the
theft-deterrent system.
0 Always unlock a door with a key or use the Keyless
Entry system. (Pressing the unlock button on the
Keyless Entry transmitter disables the theft-deterrent system.) Unlocking a door any other way will
activate
the alarm. Cycling the ignition without
disarming the theft-deterrent system will also
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key. You can
also turn off the alarm by using
the Keyless Entry system. The alarm won’t stop if you
try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the “Jarrr
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 alarm 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.

opener. When the ignition is turned
OFF, the power to

is opened or the courtesy lamp
switch is turned
on.
Battery Guard Storage
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the

a "no" response. The first prompt
to appear relates to the automatic
door
locks.

INFO button. The STORAGE MODE? prompt appears
next.
To select, press the RESET button. ENABLE
STORAGE
MODE? will then appear. A yes or no
response must be give.n. If the
INFO (no) button is
pressed, the DISABLE STORAGE MODE? prompt will
appear. Oncc again,
a yes or no response is required.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle
will enter the storage mode approximately
20 minutes after the ignition key has been turned off.
The RKE will also be disabled at this point. The RKE
will reactivate when a door or the trunk is opened,
however.
if your vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes the RKE will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition
key is turned out of LOCK. The system will
"wake-up" when the door key is inserted into the door
however, your vehicle
will remain in the storage mode.
