One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and all
other locks. (There is no
lock cylinder for the trunk
or the passenger's door.)
Your vehicle comes with a spare key. This key does not
have an immobilizer pellet in it; however, it will still
unlock your vehicle's doors. Because of the key's flat
shape, it can be stored in your wallet.
If you've lost your keys or need to have a new one
made, you will have to contact your dealer for the
correct key code.In an emergency, contact the Cadillac Roadside
Assistance Center. See ªRoadside Assistanceº
in the Index.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside and you may have to
damage your vehicle to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys.
