1997 CADILLAC DEVILLE key

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle is in PARK (P), you can recall mirror
and seating positions by briefly pressing button
1 or 2.
This will adjust the seat and mirrors to where you
have previously programmed them. If you have
accidentally pressed one
of the memory recall buttons
and want to stop seat or mirror movement, press one
of the manual seat or mirror control buttons. This
cancels a memory recall.
You can also recall a seat and mirror position if your
vehicle is not in PARK (P). Press and hold either the
1 or 2 button until seat and mirror movement is
complete. Releasing the buttons will stop adjustment.
The EXIT button can be programmed to allow easy exit
for up to two drivers. Adjust the seat to a comfortable
“exit” position and then press the
SET button followed
by the EXIT button. While your vehicle is in PARK (P),
briefly press the EXIT button to recall your programmed
exit position. Automatic seat, mirrors, comfort controls and radio
movement will occur
if the Remote Keyless Entry
(RE) transmitter is used
to enter the vehicle. The
number on the back of the transmitter corresponds to
the
1 or 2 seat, mirror, comfort controls and radio
positions. After the unlock button is pressed on the
RKE transmitter (the ignition must be in lock) or
when the key is placed in the ignition, the seat, mirrors,
comfort controls and radio will automatically adjust to
the appropriate positions.
Automatic seat, mirrors, comfort controls and radio
movement are programmed through the Driver
Information Center
(DIC) so that the driver can select
whether or not movement will occur using the RKE
transmitter
or by placing the ignition key in the ignition.
For more information, see “Remote Recall Memory” in
the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,”
earlier in this section.
When the lap portion of the belt is pulled out
all the
way, it will lock.
If it does, let it go back all the way
and start again.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR) Systems
This part explains the frontal and side impact
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR) systems or air
bag systems.
Your Cadillac has four
air bags -- a frontal air bag for
the driver, another frontal
air bag for the right front
passenger, a side impact air bag for the driver, and
another side impact air bag for the right front passenger.
Here are the most important things to know about the air bag systems:
A --
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if
you aren’t wearing your safety belt
-- even if you
have an air bag. Wearing your safety belt during
a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Air
bags are “supplemental restraints” to the safety
belts. All air bags are designed to work with
safety belts but don’t replace them.
Frontal
air bags for the driver and right front
passenger are designed
to work only in moderate
to severe crashes where the front of your vehicle
hits something. They aren’t designed to inflate at
all in rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal
crashes. The side impact
air bags for the driver
and right front passenger are designed to inflate
only
in moderate to severe crashes where
something
bits the side of your vehicle. They aren’t
designed
to inflate in frontal, or in a rollover or in
rear crashes. Everyone in your vehicle should wear
a safety belt properly -- whether or not there’s an
air bag for that person.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Let only qualified technicians work on your air
bag systems. Improper service can mean that an
air bag system won’t work properly. See your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the covering for the driver’s or
the right front passenger’s
air bag, or the air
bag covering on the driver’s and right front
passenger’s door, the bag may not work properly.
You may have to replace the air bag module in
the steering wheel, both the
air bag module and
the instrument panel for the right front
passenger’s
air bag, or both the air bag module
and door panel for the driver’s and right front
passenger’s side impact
air bag. Do not open or
break the
air bag coverings. Servicing
Your
Air Bag-Equipped Cadillac
Air bags affect how your Cadillac should be serviced.
There are parts
of the air bag systems in several places
around your vehicle. Your Cadillac dealer and the
Cadillac Service Manual have information about
servicing your vehicle and the air bag systems.
To
purchase a service manual, see “Service and Owner
Publications” in the Index.
For up to
10 seconds after the ignition key is
turned off and the battery
is disconnected, an air
bag can still inflate during improper service. You
can be injured if you are close to an
air bag when
it inflates. Avoid wires wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow connectors. They are probably part
of
the air bag systems. Be sure to follow proper
service procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to do
so.
The air bag systems do not need regular maintenance.

A CAUTION:
Leaving young children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many reasons.
A child or others could be badly injured or
even killed.
They could operate power windows or other
controls or even make the vehicle move.
If they
turned the ignition to
ON and moved the shift
lever out of
PARK (P), that would release the
parking brake. Don’t leave the
keys in a vehicle
with young children.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The oval key is for the
doors and all other locks. When
a new Cadillac is delivered, the dealer removes
the plug from the door key. The plug has a code on
it
that tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. The ignition key has a bar code tag
attached
to it rather than a knock out plug. Your dealer
or qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the bar code tag.
Keep the
bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe
place.
If you lose your keys, you will be able to have
new ones made using the plug or bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your Cadillac has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have
a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys inside and you may have to damage your vehicle to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Door Locks
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance
of being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors and you will be far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use either the door key or the Remote
Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
If your vehicle has the optional theft-deterrent system,
you must unlock the doors with the key or
RKE
transmitter to avoid setting off the alarm. Push the manual lock lever forward to lock the
door
from the inside. To unlock the door, pull back on
the lever.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle will have this feature if it is equipped with
the optional theft-deterrent system. When unlocking
either front door, you can unlock the other doors by
holding the key in the turned position for a few seconds
or by quickly turning the door key twice in the
lock cylinder.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you want to open a rear door when the security
lock is on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
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
and with Industry and Science Canada.
