Anti-Lockout Featur--
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any
door open will disable the use of the power door lock
switches. The anti-lockout feature is disabled when the
ignition
is on. If you close the doors, you can lock them
using the RKE system. It
is always recommended that
you remove the ignition key when locking your vehicle.
Note that the anti-lockout feature can be overridden by
holding the power door lock switch for three seconds
or longer.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
from about
10 feet (3 m)
away using the RKE
transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your
RKE system operates on a radio frequency subject
to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules

memory settings for up to two drivers. For more
information, see “Memory Seat and Mirrors” in
the Index.
Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s operating

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 and hold 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.

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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 your dealer has coded
the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE 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.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

A. Trunk Lid
B. Lever
If for some reason the trunk lid will not close, it may be
because the trunk pull-down unit was accidentally
bumped. Even though the trunk lid remains open, the motor from the pull-down unit has already cycled down.
If this happens, press the lever on the trunk lid. The
pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the trunk lid to close when lowered.
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.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don’t do it.
When you park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle.
And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.

transmitter with you.
Theft-Deterrent System (If Equipped)
SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
any door is open, the
SECURITY light will flash,
reminding you to activate
the system (the light will
also flash if the battery
has been disconnected
and reconnected).
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock or the RKE
system. The
SECURITY light should come on and
stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.
The horn will sound and the lamps
will flash for about
30 seconds when the door or trunk is opened without the
key or RKE system. The horn also sounds if the locks
are damaged.
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 RKE system.
To avoid activating 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
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
system. (Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
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 RKE system. The alarm won’t stop
if you try to
unlock a door any other way.

p:
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key I1 is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key
is
removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
11 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that is read by the system in your vehicle. If the key’s
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be enabled.
If
an incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel and starting
systems are disabled for three minutes. Additional
attempts during this lockout period will not start the car,
even with the correct key. If
the engine does not start and the “STARTING
DISABLED DUE TO THEFT SYSTEM, REMOVE
IGNITION
KEY” message is displayed in the Driver
Information Center, your key should be checked for
damage. Starting may be attempted with an undamaged
key immediately. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith for key service.
If the “STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM, REMOVE IGNITION
KEY” and “WAIT
3 MINUTES” messages are displayed, the key should
be cleaned. After three minutes,
try again. A “START
CAR’ message will appear at this time. If the engine
still does not start, wait three minutes and try a duplicate
key. At this time, fuses should be checked (see “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers” in the Index). If the engine does
not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your Cadillac dealer for service.
If the “THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM’ message
is
displayed during vehicle operation, your vehicle needs
servicing. Your vehicle will restart if you turn it
off,
however, your vehicle may be unprotected. See your
Cadillac dealer for service.
If an ignition key
is lost or damaged, see your Cadillac
dealer or a locksmith to have a
new key made.

NOTICE:
Your modern Cadillac doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0
0
0
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
Don’t
tow a trailer during break-in.
See “Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key;
if so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the
steering wheel left and right while you turn the
key hard. But turn the key only with your hand.
Using a tool to force
it could break the key or the
ignition switch. If none of this works, then your
vehicle needs service.
