46 Locks and car alarm
Doors
Open the door by lifting the door handle.
The following message appears on the DIC
if a door is not closed (text displayed first
when vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h and
the door has still not been closed):
Close doors.
Locks
WARNING
Having the doors locked while on the road
will reduce the likelihood of:
• children, in particular, opening doors
and falling out of the car
• intruders entering the car when it is
moving slowly or at a standstill.
However, it must also be remembered
that locked doors can hamper rescuers
in the event of a collision.
Remote control
The remote control and ignition key are
integrated in one unit, and referred to in this
manual as the remote control.
The remote control contains a mechanical
key, referred to in this manual as the tradi-
tional key. This traditional key can be used
in an emergency to lock or unlock the
driver's door from outside, see page 49.
This key does not fit the ignition switch.
A key code number is supplied with your
car. This number needs to be quoted for
ordering a new traditional key (contained
in the remote control). Therefore, keep this
number in a safe place.
The remote control contains an electronic
code that is unique to your car. When the
remote control is inserted into the ignition
switch, this code is checked. If the code is
incorrect, the car will not start.
The car is supplied with two remote con-
trols. It is possible to have up to five remote
controls programmed for the car at any one
time. If one is lost, a replacement should be
obtained as soon as possible. We recom-
mend that you contact an authorised
Cadillac workshop. When a new remote
control is programmed into the car, the lost
one will be deprogrammed automatically.
