This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
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 keyless entry transmitter. 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 or
resynchronization 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 dealer or a
qualified technician for service.Operation
When you press this symbol to unlock the driver's
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will blink twice.
The parking lamps and headlamps will remain on for
about 20 seconds. Pressing this button 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 (for approximately 20 seconds).
When you press this symbol to lock the doors
(including the fuel door), the parking lamps will blink
once. This also arms the optional theft
-deterrent system.
Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to unlock the fuel door.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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. Your vehicle may be equipped with
either a two or four fob capability and is only able to
have the same number of transmitters matched to it.
Since all vehicles come with only two fobs, you need to
check with your dealer to see which system you have.

2-9 Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last 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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
1. Use a coin to pry open the transmitter.

Immobilizer
Your vehicle is equipped
with a passive
theft
-deterrent system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS
-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The system works when you turn the key to ON (II). The key
uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control unit
in your vehicle. The correct key will start the vehicle.
When the system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it may start but it will not continue to run. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during
this time, the shutdown will start over again. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different keys
with different transponders in an attempt to make a match.
If the engine cannot be started, turn the key in the
ignition to ON (II). Wait approximately two seconds;
then start your vehicle again.
If the engine still won't start, try another key. You may
also want to check the fuses (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index). If the engine won't start with
the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer.
If you lose or damage a key or you cannot start the
engine, see your dealer. If a key is lost, bring all
remaining keys to your dealer for re
-programming.
In an emergency, call the Cadillac Roadside Assistance
Center at 1
-800-882-1112.

At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return to its clear daytime
state when the glare is reduced.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto
-dimming
feature work.
Time Delay
This feature prevents rapid changing of the mirror from
the night mode to the day mode as you drive under
lights and through traffic.
Power Remote Control Mirror
Move the rocker switch to
the left to choose the
driver's side mirror or move
the switch to the right to
select the passenger's side
mirror. To adjust the mirror,
push the control pad in the
direction you want the
mirror to go. Adjust each
mirror so you can see the
side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
Your vehicle's ignition must be in ON (II) for this
feature to work.

Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case, you
should press and re
-press the button on the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds without ever releasing the
button on the Universal Transmitter. Release both
buttons when the indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Universal Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the Universal
Transmitter. The indicator light comes on while the
signal is being transmitted.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
Universal Transmitter but does not open your garage
door, and if the garage door opener was manufactured
after 1996, the garage door opener may have a ªrolling
codeº system. A rolling code system changes the code
of the garage door opener every time you open or close
the garage door.To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the Universal Transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the Universal
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door motor
head unit must be trained to the Universal Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the Universal Transmitter, see
ªProgramming the Universal Transmitterº listed
previously. If you have completed this programming
already, you now need to train the garage door opener
motor head unit to recognize the Universal Transmitter.
Refer to your garage door opener owner's manual for
the proper transmitter training procedure for your garage
door opener brand.

2-68 Traction Control System Warning Light
This warning light will flash
when the system senses a
traction change.
If it stays on, or comes on and stays on steady when
you're driving, there may be a problem with your
traction control system and your vehicle may need
service. When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system warning light may come on
for the following reasons:

If there's a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come on.

If the traction control system is affected by an
engine
-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
This light tells you that the
engine has overheated. If
this light comes on, you
should stop the vehicle and
turn the engine off as soon
as possible.
A warning chime should also sound if this light
comes on.
As a check, the light should come on for a few seconds
when you start the engine. See ªEngine Overheatingº in
the Index.
