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.

should Bast about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t

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
bumped. Even though the
trunk lid remains open, the
motor from the pull-down unit has already cycled down.
If this happens, press the lever (B) on the trunk lid. The
pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the
trunk
lid to close when lowered.

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.
