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.

1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open, lock
the vehicle using the power door lock or the RKE system and close the door. Wait
30 seconds until the
SECURITY lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the\

Index.
If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your Cadillac serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
Security Override
Pressing the VALET button
located inside the glove box
will disable the use
of the
power
trunk, fuel door and
garage door openers.
Pressing this button again will make these features
reusable. Locking the glove box with the door
key will also help to secure
your vehicle.

trunk or fuel door if the VALET button is pressed in.

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When
the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically
turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
or less). Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned
on.
Battery Guard Storage
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the
DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in a storage mode
so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and
RKE will not
drain the battery over a long period of time.
