Anti-Pinch Feature
If a hand, an arm or another object is above the middle
of the window and is in the path of the window when
the express
-up feature is active, the window will stop
at the obstruction and express
-open to a preset
factory position.
CAUTION:
Pressing and holding the power window control
will turn off the anti
-pinch feature. If this
happens, a power window won't stop if
something gets in the way. You or others could
be injured, and your window could be damaged.
Be careful not to press and hold the power
window control.
Rear Window Lockout
The rear window lockout
button is located below the
power window switches on
the driver's door armrest.
Pressing this button will disable the rear window
controls. The light on the button will illuminate,
indicating that the feature is in use. The rear windows
can be raised or lowered using the driver's window
switches when the lockout feature is active.
To restore power to the rear windows, press the button
again. The light on the button will go out.

Trunk Release Handle
NOTICE:
The trunk release handle was not designed to be
used to tie down the trunk lid or as an anchor
point when securing items in the trunk. Improper
use of the trunk release handle could damage it.
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle located
inside the trunk near the latch. This handle will glow
following exposure to light. Pull the release handle
upward to open the trunk from the inside.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle 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.
Key in the Ignition
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 vehicle 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.

2-18
Parking at Night
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.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key?

If possible, park in a busy, well
-lit area.

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove box.

Be sure to close and lock the storage area.

Close all windows.

Move the valet lockout switch to ON.

Lock the glove box.

Leave only the valet key.

Take all other keys and the remote keyless entry
transmitter with you.
Theft-Deterrent System
The SECURITY light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the SECURITY
light will flash, reminding you to arm the system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with
the door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The SECURITY light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The SECURITY light should go
off within approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a remote
keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will flash for about 30 seconds.

2-19
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won't arm if you
lock the doors with a key or use the manual door lock. It
activates only if you use a power door lock with the
door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do
the following:

The vehicle should be locked with the door key or
the manual door lock after the doors are closed if
you don't want to arm the theft
-deterrent system.

Always unlock a door with a key or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter system. Pressing the unlock
button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
disables the theft
-deterrent system. Unlocking a door
any other way will activate the alarm when a door or
the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver's
door with your key. You can also turn off the alarm
by using the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter system, or by starting the car with a
valid key.
Changes or modifications made to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, then
get out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open,
lock the vehicle using the power door lock or the
remote keyless entry system and close the door.
Wait 30 seconds until the SECURITY lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual lock
and open the door. The horn will sound and the
hazard lights will flash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver's
door with your key, using the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter or by starting the car
with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the
Index. If the fuse does not need to be replaced, you may
need to have your vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft
-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this

PASS
-Key III uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key III system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a
trial
-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of electrical
key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does not
start and the SECURITY light comes on, the key may
have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and
try again.If the engine does not start, and the key appears to be
undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuse. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index. If the engine still does not start
with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the PASS
-Key III to have a new
key made.
It is possible for the PASS
-Key III decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to
10 additional keys may be programmed for the vehicle.
This procedure is for learning additional keys only.
Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys,
only a GM dealer can service PASS
-Key III to have new
keys made. To program additional keys you will require
two current driver's keys (black in color). You must add
a step to the following procedure. After Step 2, repeat
Steps 1 and 2 with the second current driver's key.
Then continue with Step 3.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the current driver's key in the ignition and
start the engine. If the engine will not start see your
dealer for service.

2-22
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to ON
within ten seconds of removing the previous key.
5. The SECURITY light will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
SECURITY light went on due to how quickly the
key is programmed.
6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the SECURITY light
comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart your
engine if you turn it off. Your PASS
-Key III system,
however, is not working properly and must be serviced
by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS
-Key III system at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS
-Key III key, see your
dealer to have a new key made.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside Assistance.
See ªRoadside Assistanceº in the Index.
New Vehicle ªBreak-Inº
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn't need an elaborate
ªbreak
-in.º But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:

Don't drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don't make full
-throttle starts.

Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren't yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking
-in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.

Don't tow a trailer during break
-in.
See ªTowing a Trailerº in the Index for
more information.

Parking Brake
The parking brake pedal is
located to the left of the
regular brake pedal, near
the driver's door.
To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal
down with your right foot and push the parking brake
pedal down with your left foot.
If the ignition is on, the BRAKE indicator light on the
instrument panel cluster should come on. If it doesn't,
you need to have your vehicle serviced.When you move out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)
and the engine is running, the parking brake should
release. If the parking brake has not been fully released
and you try to drive off with the parking brake on, the
BRAKE indicator light will come on and stay on and a
multiple chime will sound.
If the parking brake doesn't fully release, you can
manually release the pedal. However, be sure to read the
following paragraphs:
CAUTION:
Always shift to PARK (P) before pulling the
manual release lever. If your hand or arm is in
the way of the pedal you could be hurt. The pedal
springs back quickly. Keep your hand and arm
away when you use the manual release lever.
Before releasing the manual parking brake, be sure to put
the vehicle in PARK (P) and turn the ignition to OFF.

The power tilt wheel control
is located on the outboard
side of the steering column.
To operate the power tilt feature, push the control up and
the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control down
and the steering wheel will go down.If the power tilt control is pressed up or down and held
in that position, there will be a slight movement and a
slight pause followed by a continuous movement in the
direction the control is being pressed. This allows very
fine control of the steering wheel position. If the control
is bumped, the steering wheel moves approximately one
degree in the direction commanded.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel moves
toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control rearward
and the steering wheel moves toward the rear of the
vehicle. To set the memory position, see ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº and ªMemory
