To replace the fuse, see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index. To reduce thepossibility of theft, always arm the theft deterrent system when leaving your vehicle. PASS-KEY IIm Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1 TM (Personalized Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key I1 TM is a passive theft deterrentsystem. This meansyou don't have to do anything different to armor disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove the key from theignition. PASS-Key TM uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle. When the PASS-Key TI TM system senses that someoneis using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starterwon't work and fuel won't go to the engine. If someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly trying different keys with different resistor pellcts in an attempt to make a match. The ignition key must be clean and dry before it's inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start. If the engine does not start and the "SECURITY" light comes on, the may be dirty or wet. Turn the key ignition off. If you're ever driving and the "SECURITY" light comes on and continues to flash, you get the"PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION" message and the"STARTING DISABLED" message appears, you will be able to restart your engine you turn it off. Your PASS-Key TI system, if however, is not working properly and must be serviced bylour Cadillac dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key I1 system. TM 74
