Owners Manual
Before you put the key
In,
your ignition
will
be
in
the “LOCK” position.
This position locks your ignition, steering
wheel
and transaxle. It’s an
anti-theft feature.
The other positions let
you
perform these functions:
ACC:
Accessory lets you use things like
the
radio and the windshield
wipers when the engine is off. To get into “ACC”, push
in
the key and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel
will
remain locked, just as it was-
before you inserted the key.
OFF:
This
position lets you turn off
the
engine but still turn the steering
wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering wheel like “Lock.” Use “Off”
if
you
must have your car in motion while the engine
is
off
(for example,
if
your
car is being pushed).
RUN
This is the position for driving.
STARR
This starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If
your key seems stuck in “Lock” and you can’t turn it, be sure it
is
all
the
way
in.
If
it is, then turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only with your
hand. Using
a
tool
to force it could break the key or the ignition
switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service.
STARTING
YOUR
ENGINE
Move your shift lever to
“P”
(Park) or
“N”
(Neutral). Your engine won’t
start in any other position
--
that’s a safety feature.
To
restart
when
you’re
already moving, use
“N”
(Neutral) only.

NOTICE:
-
Don’t
try
to shift to
“P”
(Park)
if
your Cadillac is moving.
If
you
I
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to
“P”
(Park) only
when your vehicle
is
stopped.
