The LUMBAR control is
located on the outboard side
of each front seat. It
provides additional support
to your lower back and it
works independently of the
other seat controls. Use the
power seat control first to
get the proper position.
Then proceed with the
lumbar adjustment.
To reshape the lower seatback, move the LUMBAR
switch forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support. Move the LUMBAR switch side to
side to raise or lower the support mechanism to suit
your preference.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as
it may during long trips,
so should the position of your
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.
If you have the optional personalization package, the
power lumbar control can be programmed for memory
recall. For more information, see “Memory Seat and
Mirrors” later
in this section.
Memory Seat and Mirrors (If Equipped)
Adjust the driver’s seat (including lumbar adjustments)
and both outside mirrors to a comfortable position and
then press the
SET button. Within five seconds, press
button
“l.’, A second mirror and seating position may be
programmed by repeating the above steps and pressing
button
“2” instead of button 1.
Note that each time a memory button is pressed, a single
beep will sound through the left front speaker.

The range of this system is about
10 feet (3 m). At times
you
may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for
any remote lock control system. If the transmitter does
not work
or if you have to stand closer to your vehicle
for the transmitter to work, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or
right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.
If you’re still having trouble, see your Cadillac
dealer
or a qualified technician for service. Changes
or modifications to this system
by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Operation
* When you press this symbol to unlock the
driver’s door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will
blink twice. (You can program your vehicle
so the

“Remote Confirmation” later in this section.) Pressing it
again within five seconds will unlock the other doors.
Pressing this button will also disarm the optional
theft-deterrent system and turn
on the interior lamps
at night.
8 When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will blink once. (You can program your
vehicle
so the parking lamps will not flash. For more
information,
see “Remote Confirmation” later
in this section.) This also
arms the optional

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If a no response was made, the KEY IN RECALL
MEMORY prompt will show next. This choice recalls
memory settings when the key is placed in your
vehicle’s ignition.
A yes or no response is required.
For
a list of the other personalization features available,
see “Memory and Personalization Features” later in
this section.
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.

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.
OdOff Switch
Press the button at the base of the mirror to turn on the
automatic feature. The button has an indicator light to
show it is on. Press the button to turn the automatic
feature off.

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.

front surface
of the universal transmitter so that you
can still
see the red light.
4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to press both buttons through Step 5.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
If
you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your Cadillac dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds.
If you are programming from one of these
transmitters,
you should press and re-press the button on
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons when the red light on the universal
transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the universal transmitter
is disabled when the
VALET button inside the glove box is activated. For
more information, see “Security Override” earlier
in
this section.
Also note that if the hand-held transmitter appears to
program the universal transmitter but does not open
your garage door, and if the garage door opener was
manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may
have a “rolling code” system.
A rolling code system
changes the code
of the garage door opener every time
you open or close the garage door.
