2-9 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. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready for the
next steps. To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN, then to OFF. This will
disarm the theft
-deterrent system.
2. Remove fuse 17 in the main fuse block, which is
located on the left side of your main instrument
panel. When the fuse block is open, the radio fuse is
located on the lower right corner of your instrument
panel. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.3. Turn the ignition from OFF to RUN three times
quickly (within five seconds). The vehicle will
respond by locking the doors, unlocking the driver's
doors and releasing the tailgate or panel doors. Your
transmitter is now ready to match the vehicle.
4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as in Step 3.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
6. When you have finished matching all of your
transmitters, replace fuse 17.
7. Check that all transmitters work by pressing
their buttons.
If the transmitters don't work, or if you'd rather not
match the transmitters yourself, see your dealer.

2-17 Driver's Door Alarm Delay
The alarm will sound eight seconds after the driver's
door is opened with your key.
Feature Customization
Your vehicle's locks and lighting systems can be
programmed with several different features. The following
list tells you the features that can be programmed.

Theft
-Deterrent Arming Verification
To program features, your vehicle must be in the

2. Turn the ignition to RUN to disarm the
theft
-deterrent system.3. Turn the ignition to OFF.
4. Remove fuse 17. This fuse is in the main fuse block,
located on the left side of your instrument panel.
When the main fuse block is open, the RADIO fuse
(Fuse 17) is located in the lower right corner side of
the fuse panel. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in
the Index.
5. Turn the ignition to ACCESSORY.
You can now program your choices. After programming a
feature, you can exit the programming mode at anytime.
You should hear two chimes to verify that the system is
in programming mode. You will also be able to set
Lockout Prevention, Keyless Entry Verification, Arming
Method and Arming Verification.

2-21
3. Press the LOCK button on the keyless entry
transmitter until you hear the number of chimes that
corresponds to the mode selection you want.
The mode you select is now set. You can either exit the
programming mode by following the instructions later in
this section or program any of the previously mentioned
features on your vehicle.
Leaving Programming Mode
When programming is done, turn the ignition to OFF
and replace fuse 17.
Passlock

Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft
-deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft
-deterrent system. Passlock
enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a
valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock
cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.During normal operation, the SECURITY light will go
off approximately five seconds after the key is turned to
the RUN ignition position.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to restart
the engine. Remember to release the key from START
as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the
engine off. However, your Passlock system is not
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at this time.
You may also want to check the fuse (see ªFuses and
Circuit Breakersº in the Index). See your dealer
for service.
In an emergency, call the Cadillac Roadside
Assistance Center at 1-800-882-1112.
In Canada, call 1
-800-268-6800.

Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes your:

Turn and Lane Change Signals

Headlamp High/Low
-Beam Changer

Windshield Wipers

Windshield Washer

Cruise Control
Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically.
An arrow located on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
If you move the lever all the way up or down and the arrow
flashes at twice the normal rate, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers may not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and a blown
fuse (see ªFusesº in the Index).

2-43 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high
to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you.
Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this light located on the
instrument panel also will
be on.
Windshield Wipers
You operate the windshield wipers by turning the
control with the wiper symbol on it located on the
multifunction lever.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the control to MIST.
Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The
wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more
cycles, hold the control on MIST longer.You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the control to choose the delay time. The
closer to LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the control to the
LOW position. For high
-speed wiping, turn the control
further, to HIGH. To stop the wipers, turn the control
to OFF.
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing
well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to
clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using
them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. See
ªWindshield Wipers, Blade Replacementº in the Index.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical
overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause
wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy
snow from the windshield before using your
windshield wipers.
