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.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Cadillac has
a number of theft-deterrent
features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways
you
can help.

easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
