(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time for about two seconds. The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK
IN GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the
TRIP SET (TRIP RESET) button to answer “yes” or
press the RESET
(INFO RESET) button to indicate a
“no” response.
FEATURE

Since this is the last personalization feature available, a
yes or no response will end out of the
DIC display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key has been turned off. The RKE will
also be disabled at
this point. The RKE will reactivate
when a door or the
trunk is opened, however, if your
vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes, the RKE
will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the door key is inserted into the door,
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled.
Mirrors
Inside Daymight Manual Rearview Mirror
When you are sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror
so you can see clearly behind your car.
Grip the
mirror in the center to move it up or down and
side to side. The day-night adjustment allows you to
adjust the mirror to avoid glare from the headlamps
behind you. Pull the tab forward for daytime use. Push it
back for night use.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Time Delay
This feature prevents rapid changing of the mirror from
the night mode to the day mode
as you drive under
lights and through traffic.
Reverse Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
automatic mirror. When the shift lever is placed in
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode.
This gives you a bright image in the mirror as you
back up.
Cleaning the Photocells
Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror
with Compass
(If Equipped)
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature work.
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare when
set in the
M (Mirror) or CN (CompassMirror)
positions. One photocell on the back of the mirror senses
when it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell
is built into the mirror surface
to sense headlamps
behind you.

This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions
of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will
operate garage doors and gates, or with the accessory
package, other devices controlled by radio frequency
such as home/office lighting systems.
The transmitter will learn and transmit the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry and Science
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the red light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want
to program.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driver Information Center Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle’s systems. Vehicles that
are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is only
displayed
in English.
A/C OFF FOR ENGINE PROTECTION - 16: This
message displays when the engine coolant becomes
hotter than the normal operating temperature.
To avoid
added strain on a hot engine, the air conditioning
compressor is automatically turned off
so that air
conditioned
air is not delivered. If the coolant
temperature returns to normal, you must select AC to
return to a normal A/C compressor operation.
If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as soon as possible to avoid compressor damage.
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT - 46: This message will
appear if your vehicle is in PARK
(P) for about 15
seconds and the brake
is not pressed in. To remove this
message from the DIC display, hold the
OFF and the
blue (cooler) buttons on the digital cluster climate control panel for about five seconds. On the analog
cluster climate control panel, press the
OFF button (next
to the
MODE button) and the down arrow on the PASS
TEMP button for about five seconds. Hold the same two
buttons to display the message again.
BATTERY NO CHARGE - 07: This message will
appear if the battery
is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership at
your earliest convenience.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH - 08: This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging (more
than
16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your Cadillac dealership.
You can reduce the charging overload by using the
accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the climate
control on
AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and turn the
rear window defogger on. You can monitor battery
voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFORMATION
(INFO) button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts
when the engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06: This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained.
If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is possible
that the generator can still recharge the battery. The
battery should recharge after driving a few miles and the message should
go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to determine the cause
of this
problem.
To help the generator recharge the battery
quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical system
by turning
off the accessories. You can monitor battery

temperature is over 248
“F (1 26 “C). To avoid added strain
on a hot engine, turn off the climate control system. Stop
and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools down or the
message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off the
engine and have it serviced before driving it again. Severe
engine damage can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the Index,
ENGINE MISFIRE -- EASE OFF GAS
PEDAL
- 114: An engine misfire has occurred. You’ll
need to
