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

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
parking lamps will not flash. For more information, see
“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

’hrn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change. If
the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the
DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about
a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails to work when signaling
a turn.
r Beam Changer Headlamp High/Low
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until
the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it’s released. Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward
you and
then release it to change the
headlamps from low beam
to high or from high beam
to low. This light on the
instrument panel will be on,
indicating high beam usage.

If the headlamps are either off or in the DlU mode,
the high-beam headlamps will
turn on. They’ll stay
on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the
lever to turn them
off.
If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high beam and stay there. Pull the lever toward you
to return to
low beam.
If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward you.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn
off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the twilight sentinel switch
is
on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will
go off, and the low-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over
for the DRL.
If it’s dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is
off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the DIC.
This message informs the driver
that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even
though the DRL
are still illuminated (it’s become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch
or the fog lamp switch will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK
(P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay
off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.
Fog Lamps (DeVille Concours Only)
Use the fog lamps for better
vision in foggy
or misty
conditions. When you press
the fog lamp button,
a small
indicator light will tell you
that the fog lamps and the
parking lamps
are on. Press
the button again to turn
them
off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps, the fog
lamps will turn off. They’ll turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the twilight sentinel is
on and the fog lamp switch
is activated, the fog lamps will remain on as well as the
headlamps and parking lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help
you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something
is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save
you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one
of your vehicle’s functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when
you start the
engine just
to let you know they’re working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be
or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s
a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes
on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what
to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center that
works along with the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center” later in this section.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds
to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt
is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on
for about 20 seconds,
then it will flash for about
70 seconds. If the driver’s
belt
is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the light will come on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TRACTION ENGAGED - 91: When your traction
control system is limiting wheel spin, the TRACTION
ENGAGED message will be displayed. Slippery road
conditions may exist
if this message is displayed, so
adjust your driving accordingly. This message will stay
on for a few seconds after the traction control system
stops limiting wheel spin.
TRACTION OFF - 89: This message will be displayed
after the traction control has been turned off.
TRACTION READY - 91: This message informs the
driver that the traction control system is available. This

once turns the traction control system off: pressing the
button again turns the system back on). This message
also self cancels after
five seconds.
TRACTION SUSPENDED - 56: This message
displays when the traction control system has been
temporarily shut off because your vehicle’s brakes have
overheated. This message does not indicate a problem
with your vehicle’s traction control system. After
a few
minutes, the traction control system will be available
again and the TRACTION READY message
will appear.
TRANS FLUID RESET - 48: With the engine not
running and the ignition on, press and hold the OFF and
rear defog buttons until the TRANS FLUID RESET
message appears on the DIC (between five and
20 seconds).
TRANSMISSION HOT - 112: This messages indicates
that the transaxle fluid in your vehicle is
too hot. Stop
and allow your vehicle to idle until it cools down or
until this message is removed.
TRUNK OPEN - 24: This message indicates that the
trunk
is open when the ignition is in RUN.
TURN SIGNAL ON - 20: This message is a reminder,
after driving about
a mile, that you have the turn signal
on. A multiple chime will also sound when this message
is displayed.
VEHICLE SPEED LIMITED TO XXX MPH
(KM/H) - 113: A failure in the suspension control
system has occurred when this message appears. The
PCM determines the speed your vehicle is limited to.
Have
your Cadillac serviced if this message appears.
