1996 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD trunk release

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remote Trunk Release
This remote trunk release
button is in the glove box.
This button works when the ignition is on.
If you stop
your vehicle and
turn the ignition key to OFF you can
still use the remote trunk release because your vehicle
has Retained Accessory Power (RAP).
The electrical
power to the
trunk release will not shut off until you
open a door or
10 minutes have passed. If you want this
power for another
10 minutes, just turn the key to RUN
and then back to
OFF.
Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
NOTICE:
Don’t slam the trunk lid down. If you slam it, you
could damage the pull-down feature.
Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers
can be trapped under the trunk lid
as it goes
down. Your fingers could be injured, and you
would need someone to help you free them. Keep
your fingers away from the trunk lid as you close
it and as it is going down.

SECURITY
SYSTEM
If your Cadillac has this
option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm system
and a
fuel filler door lock
release.
If the ignition is off,
the SECURITY SYSTEM
light will flash as you open
the door, reminding you to
activate the system.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door locks or the
Keyless Entry System. The SECURITY SYSTEM
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY SYSTEM light
should go
off.
The horn will sound and the lamps will flash when the
door or trunk are opened without the key or the Keyless
Entry System or if the locks are damaged.
Remember, the Theft-Deterrent System won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
arms only
if you use the power door locks or the
Keyless Entry System.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
The vehicle should be locked with the door key after
the doors are closed
if you don’t want to activate
the system.
Always unlock a door with a key or the Keyless
Entry System. Unlocking a door any other way will
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key or the Keyless Entry System. The alarm
won’t
stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The filler door is locked and unlocked every time you
use the power door locks.
If pressing the power lock
control doesn’t unlock or lock the fuel filler door, you
can use the manual lock release lever in
the trunk, if
your vehicle is
so equipped. Move the lever to the left to
unlock the fuel filler door.
To take
off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
A CAUTION:
If you get gasoline on yourself and then
something ignites
it, you could be badly burned.
Gasoline can spray out on you
if you open the
fuel filler cap too quickly.
This spray can happen
if your tank is nearly full, and is more likely in
hot weather. Open the fuel filler cap slowly and
wait for any “hiss” noise to stop. Then unscrew
the cap all the way.
Be careful not to spill gasoline. Clean gasoline from
painted surfaces as soon as possible. See “Cleaning the
Outside of Your Cadillac” in the Index.
