& When you press this symbol to unlock the
driver’s door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will
blink twice. Pressing it again within five seconds will
unlock the other door. Pressing this button will also
disarm the optional theft-deterrent system and turn
on the interior lamps at night.
8 When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will blink once. This also arms the
optional theft-deterrent system.
Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to open the
fuel door.
The Keyless Entry transmitter can also be used to recall
the memory seats for up to two drivers.
For more
information, see “Memory Seat” in the Index. Note that
pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter not to work.
Replacing the battery and pressing the transmitter
buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause
the transmitter not to work.
To reset the transmitter,
you must be within the vehicle’s operating range.
Press and hold the trunk button and within one
second press the lock button. Continue to hold both
buttons for approximately three seconds. See your
Cadillac dealer for service if your transmitter still
doesn’t work properly.
MatcYng TransmitterCs) To Your Vehicle
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. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to it.

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 IO pry
open the transmitter.
_. ,.... ,. ,,x *.;x;, : :,::
2. Remove the battery and replace it with a CR2032
battery. Using the wrong size battery can damage the
transmitter. Make sure the battery is positioned with
the
”plus” (+) facing down.
3. Align the internal pieces of the transmitter, including
the cover. Snap together to reinstall.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modem vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your Cadillac does when it is new.
When
you replace parts of your braking system -- for
example, when your brake linings wear down and you
have
to have new ones put in -- be sure you get new
genuine GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your
brakes may no longer work properly. For example,
if
someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle,
the balance between your front and rear brakes
can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect can change in many other ways if
someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Cadillac has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have
to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
I
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See
“Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around
a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature”
in the Index.
