CAUTION:
Your car has 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 this happens, press the lever
(B j on the trunk lid. The
pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the trunk

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves -- 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.
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
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.
Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key and remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.
If the ignition is off and
any 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). SECURITY
