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. 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.
Under
normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should Bast 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.
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage

Your car may have an automatic pull-down
feature that helps close the trunk electronically.
Your fingers
can be trapped under the trunk lid
as it goes down. Your fingers could be injured,
and
you would need someone to help you free
them. Keep your fingers
away from the trunk lid
as you close it and as it is going down.
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam
the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until it
is nearly shut -- the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.

If for some reason the trunk lid (A) will not close, it may
be because the trunk pull-down unit was accidentally

If this happens, press the lever (B) on the trunk lid. The
pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Cadillac has a number of theft-deterrent
features,
we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
However, there are ways you can help.
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an eaq
target for joy riders or professional heves -- so don’t do it
When
YOU park your Cadillac and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding you
to remove your key
from
the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked,
and so will your
ignition and transaxle.
And remember to lock the doors.
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put
them in a storage area, or take them with you.
ots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys.
But what
if you have to leave your ignition key? What
you have
to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put
your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove
box.

SECURITY
If the ignition is off and
either 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)
.
To arm the system, do the following:
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 both 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:
8 The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock switch 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. Turning the ignition key to
RUN without
disarming the theft-deterrent system will also
activate the alarm.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock either door
with your key. You can also turn off the alarm by using
the unlock button
of the RKE system. The alarm won’t
stop if you
try to unlock a door any other way.
