Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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.

NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn't start right away, hold your key in
START for about three seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery.
3. If your engine still won't start (or starts but then
stops), it could be flooded with
too much gasoline.
Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and holding
it there as you hold the key.in
START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts
briefly but then stops again, do the same thing.
NOTICE:
Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could change the way
the engine operates. Before adding electrical
equipment, check with
your dealer. If you don't,
your engine might not perform properly.
If you ever have to have your vehicle towed, see
the part
of this manual that tells how to do it
without damaging your vehicle. See "Towing
Your Vehicle'' in the Index.

Mirrors
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.
