Lockout Protection; Trunk - Cadillac 2008 CTS Owner's Manual

Lockout Protection

If the power door lock switch is pressed when the key is
in the ignition and a door is open, all the doors will
lock and only the driver's door will unlock. If you close
the doors, they can be locked by using the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Be sure to remove the
key from the ignition when locking your vehicle.
This feature can be overridden by pressing the lock
button on the RKE transmitter or by pressing the power
lock switch a second time.
On vehicles with a Keyless Access System, the system
can be programmed to alert you when all the doors
are closed and a transmitter has been left inside of the
vehicle. See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 3-68
for more information.

Trunk

CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
•
Make sure all other windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
