Normally, any concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s sales or service departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken: STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already been reviewed with the sales, service or parts manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the general manager. STEP TWO: If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealership without further help, contact the Cadillac Customer Assistance Center, 24 hours a day, by calling 1-800-458-8006. In Canada, contact GM of Canada Customer Communication Centre in Oshawa by calling 1-800-263-3777 (English) or 1-800-263-7854 (French). 7-2 We encourage you to call the toll-free number in order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Please have the following information available to give the Customer Assistance Representative: • Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate at the top left of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.) • Dealership name and location • Vehicle delivery date and present mileage When contacting Cadillac, please remember that your concern will likely be resolved at a dealer’s facility. That is why we suggest you follow Step One ﬁrst if you have a concern. STEP THREE: Both General Motors and your dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisﬁed with your new vehicle. However, if you continue to remain unsatisﬁed after following the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you should ﬁle with the BBB Auto Line Program to enforce any additional rights you may have. Canadian owners refer to your Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet for information on the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). The BBB Auto Line Program is an out of court program administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus to settle automotive disputes regarding vehicle repairs or the interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Although you may be required to resort to this informal dispute resolution program prior to ﬁling a court action, use of the program is free of charge and your case will generally be heard within 40 days. If you do not agree with the decision given in your case, you may reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief available to you. You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address: BBB Auto Line Program Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22203-1804 Telephone: 1-800-955-5100 This program is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age, mileage and other factors. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or discontinue its participation in this program.

It provides every Cadillac owner with the advantage of contacting a Cadillac advisor and, where available, a Cadillac trained dealer technician who can provide on-site service. Each technician travels with a specially equipped service vehicle complete with the necessary Cadillac parts and tools required to handle most roadside repairs. Cadillac Roadside Service® can be reached by dialing 1-800-882-1112, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service is provided at no charge for any warranty-covered situation and for a nominal charge if the Cadillac is no longer under warranty. Roadside Service is available only in the United States and Canada. Cadillac Owner Privileges™ Roadside Service provides several Cadillac Owner Privileges™ at “no charge,” throughout your Cadillac WarrantyPeriod–48months/50,000miles(80000km). Emergency Road Service is performed on site for the following situations: • Towing Service • Battery Jump Starting • Lock Out Assistance • Fuel Delivery • Flat Tire Change (Covers change only) • Trip Interruption – If your trip is interrupted due to a warranty failure, incidental expenses may be reimbursed during the 48 months/50,000 miles (80 000 km) warranty period. Items covered are hotel, meals and rental car. 7-6 Roadside Service Availability Wherever you drive in the United States or Canada, an advisor is available to assist you over the phone. A dealer technician, if available, can travel to your location within a 30 mile (50 km) radius of a participating Cadillac dealership. If beyond this radius, we will arrange to have your car towed to the nearest Cadillac dealership. Reaching Roadside Service Dial the toll-free Roadside Service number: 1-800-882-1112. An experienced Roadside Service Advisor will assist you and request the following information: • A description of the problem • Name, home address, home telephone number • Location of your Cadillac and number you are calling from • The model year, Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN), mileage and date of delivery Roadside Service for the Hearing or Speech Impaired Roadside Service is prepared to assist owners who have hearing difficulties or are speech impaired.

Courtesy Transportation Cadillac has always exempliﬁed quality and value in its offering of motor vehicles. To enhance your ownership experience, we and our participating dealers are proud to offer Courtesy Transportation, a customer support program for new vehicles. The Courtesy Transportation program is offered to retail purchase/lease customers in conjunction with the Bumper-to-Bumper coverage provided by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Several transportation options are available when warranty repairs are required. This will reduce your inconvenience during warranty repairs. 7-7 Plan Ahead When Possible When your vehicle requires warranty service, you should contact your dealer and request an appointment. By scheduling a service appointment and advising your service consultant of your transportation needs, your dealer can help minimize your inconvenience. If your vehicle cannot be scheduled into the service department immediately, keep driving it until it can be scheduled for service, unless, of course, the problem is safety-related. If it is, please call your dealership, let them know this, and ask for instructions. If the dealer requests that you simply drop the vehicle off for service, you are urged to do so as early in the work day as possible to allow for same day repair. Transportation Options Warranty service can generally be completed while you wait. However, if you are unable to wait Cadillac helps minimize your inconvenience by providing several transportation options. Depending on the circumstances, your dealer can offer you one of the following: Shuttle Service Participating dealers can provide you with shuttle service to get you to your destination with minimal interruption of your daily schedule. This includes a one way or round trip shuttle service to a destination up to 10 miles from the dealership. Public Transportation or Fuel Reimbursement If your vehicle requires overnight warranty repairs, reimbursement (ﬁve days maximum) may be available for the use of public transportation such as taxi or bus. In addition, should you arrange transportation through a friend or relative, reimbursement for reasonable fuel expenses (ﬁve day maximum) may be available. Claim amounts should reﬂect actual costs and be supported by original receipts. 7-8 Courtesy Rental Vehicle Your dealer may arrange to provide you with a courtesy rental vehicle or reimburse you for a rental vehicle you obtained if your vehicle is kept for a warranty repair. Reimbursement will be limited to a maximum of $40 a day and must be supported by receipts. This requires that you sign and complete a rental agreement and meet state, local and rental vehicle provider requirements. Requirements vary and may include minimum age requirements, insurance coverage, credit card, etc. You are responsible for fuel usage charges and may also be responsible for taxes, levies, usage fees, excessive mileage or rental usage beyond the completion of the repair. Generally it is not possible to provide a like-vehicle as a courtesy rental. Additional Program Information Courtesy Transportation is available during the Bumper-to-Bumper warranty coverage period, but it is not part of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. A separate booklet entitled Warranty and Owner AssistanceInformation furnished with each new vehicle provides detailed warranty coverage information. Courtesy Transportation is available only at participating dealers and all program options, such as shuttle service, may not be available at every dealer. Please contact you dealer for speciﬁc information about availability. All Courtesy Transportation arrangements will be administered by appropriate dealer personnel. Canadian Vehicles: For warranty repairs during the Complete Vehicle Coverage period of the General Motors of Canada New Vehicle Limited Warranty, alternative transportation may be available under the Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult your dealer for details.

Your vehicle uses on-board vehicle computers to monitor emission control components to optimize fuel economy, to monitor conditions for airbag deployment and, if so equipped, to provide anti-lock braking and to help the driver control the vehicle in difficult driving situations. Some information may be stored during regular operations to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions; other information is stored only in a crash or near crash event by computer systems commonly called event data recorders (EDR). In a crash or near crash event, computer systems, such as the Airbag Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) in your vehicle may record information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was operated, such as engine speed, brake applications, throttle position, vehicle speed, seat belt usage, airbag readiness, airbag performance data, and the severity of a collision. This information has been used to improve vehicle crash performance and may be used to improve crash performance of future vehicles and driving safety. Unlike the data recorders on many airplanes, these on-board systems do not record sounds, such as conversation of vehicle occupants. To read this information, special equipment is needed and access to the vehicle or the SDM is required. GM will not access information about a crash event or share it with others other than • with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, with the consent of the lessee, • in response to an official request of police or similar government office, • as part of GM’s defense of litigation through the discovery process, or • as required by law. 7-10 In addition, once GM collects or receives data, GM may • use the data for GM research needs, • make it available for research where appropriate conﬁdentiality is to be maintained and need is shown, or • share summary data which is not tied to a speciﬁc vehicle with non-GM organizations for research purposes. Others, such as law enforcement, may have access to the special equipment that can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or SDM. If your vehicle is equipped with OnStar, please check the OnStar subscription service agreement or manual for information on its operations and data collection. Reporting Safety Defects Reporting Safety Defects to the United States Government If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in addition to notifying General Motors. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it ﬁnds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or General Motors. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation Washington, D.C. 20590 You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the hotline. 7-11 Service Publications Ordering Information Service Manuals Service Manuals have the diagnosis and repair information on engines, transmission, axle, suspension, brakes, electrical, steering, body, etc. RETAIL SELL PRICE: $120.00 Transmission, Transaxle, Transfer Case Unit Repair Manual This manual provides information on unit repair service procedures, adjustments and speciﬁcations for GM transmissions, transaxles and transfer cases.

Box 07130 Detroit, MI 48207 GENERAL MOTORS, GM, the GM Emblem, CADILLAC, the CADILLAC Crest & Wreath are registered trademarks and the name SRX is a trademark of General Motors Corporation. This manual includes the latest information at the time it was printed. We reserve the right to make changes after that time without further notice. For vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada, substitute the name “General Motors of Canada Limited” for Cadillac Motor Car Division whenever it appears in this manual. Please keep this manual in your vehicle, so it will be there if you ever need it when you’re on the road. If you sell the vehicle, please leave this manual in it so the new owner can use it. How to Use This Manual Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning to end when they ﬁrst receive their new vehicle. If you do this, it will help you learn about the features and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you will ﬁnd that pictures and words work together to explain things. Index A good place to look for what you need is the Index in back of the manual. It is an alphabetical list of what is in the manual, and the page number where you will ﬁnd it. Litho in U.S.A. Part No. 25751862 A First Edition ©Copyright General Motors Corporation 06/06/03 All Rights Reserved ii Safety Warnings and Symbols You will ﬁnd a number of safety cautions in this book. We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore the warning. {CAUTION: These mean there is something that could hurt you or other people. In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is. Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce the hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t, you or others could be hurt. You will also ﬁnd a circle with a slash through it in this book. This safety symbol means “Don’t,” “Don’t do this” or “Don’t let this happen.” iii Vehicle Damage Warnings Also, in this book you will ﬁnd these notices: Notice: These mean there is something that could damage your vehicle. A notice will tell you about something that can damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly. But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid the damage. When you read other manuals, you might see CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different colors or in different words. You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle. They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE. Vehicle Symbols Your vehicle has components and labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols, used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text describing the operation or information relating to a speciﬁc component, control, message, gage or indicator. If you need help ﬁguring out a speciﬁc name of a component, gage or indicator, reference the following topics: • Seats and Restraint Systems in Section 1 • Features and Controls in Section 2 • Instrument Panel Overview in Section 3 • Climate Controls in Section 3 • Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators in Section 3 • Audio System(s) in Section 3 • Engine Compartment Overview in Section 5 iv These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may ﬁnd on your vehicle: - NOTES vi Section 1 Seats and Restraint Systems Front Seats ......................................................1-2 Manual Passenger Seat ..................................1-2 Power Seats ..................................................1-2 Power Lumbar ...............................................1-3 Heated Seats .................................................1-3 Reclining Seatbacks ........................................1-4 Head Restraints .............................................1-6 Rear Seats .......................................................1-7 Rear Seat Operation .......................................1-7 ...............................................1-7 Stowable Seat Safety Belts .....................................................1-8 Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone .................1-8 Questions and Answers About Safety Belts ......1-13 How to Wear Safety Belts Properly .................1-14 Driver Position ..............................................1-14 Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy ..................1-20 Right Front Passenger Position .......................1-21 Rear Seat Passengers ..................................1-22 Rear Safety Belt Comfort Guides for Children and Small Adults ..........................1-25 Safety Belt Pretensioners ...............................1-27 Safety Belt Extender .....................................1-27 Child Restraints .............................................1-28 Older Children ..............................................1-28 Infants and Young Children ............................1-31 Child Restraint Systems .................................1-35 Where to Put the Restraint .............................1-38 Top Strap ....................................................1-39 Top Strap Anchor Location .............................1-41 Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) ...........................1-42 Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System ....................................1-44 Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position ...................................................1-44 Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position ....................................1-47 Air Bag Systems ............................................1-50 Where Are the Air Bags? ...............................1-52 When Should an Air Bag Inﬂate? ....................1-56 What Makes an Air Bag Inﬂate? .....................1-57 How Does an Air Bag Restrain? .....................1-57 What Will You See After an Air Bag Inﬂates? .......1-58 Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle .........1-60 Adding Equipment to Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle ....................................................1-60 Restraint System Check ..................................1-60 Checking Your Restraint Systems ...................1-60 Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash ............................................1-61 1-1 Front Seats Manual Passenger Seat Power Seats Your vehicle may have a manual passenger seat. To adjust the seat, lift the bar under the front of the seat to unlock it. Slide the seat to where you want it and release the bar. Try to move the seat back and forth with your body to be sure the seat is locked in place. 1-2 If your vehicle is equipped with power front seats, the controls are located on the outboard sides of the front seat cushions. • Move the front of the horizontal control up or down to adjust the front portion of the cushion. • Move the rear of the horizontal control up or down to adjust the rear portion of the cushion. • Lift up or push down on the center of the horizontal control to move the entire seat up or down. • To move the seat forward or rearward, slide the horizontal control forward or rearward. Power Lumbar Your vehicle may have this feature. The driver’s and passenger’s seatback lumbar support can be adjusted by moving a control located on the outboard side of the seat cushions. To increase or decrease support, hold the control forward or rearward. Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it may during long trips, so should the position of your lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed. Heated Seats If your vehicle is equipped with heated front seats, the buttons are located on the climate control panel. There is a button for the driver and one for the front passenger. Each button has the following three settings: LO, HI and off. The active setting appears on the climate control panel display. The LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat approximates normal body temperature. The HI setting has a slightly higher temperature. To turn on the heated seats, press the button once. The seat will heat to the HI setting. Press the button again to switch to the LO setting. Pressing the button a third time turns the system off. The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is turned on. When the vehicle is turned off, the heated seats automatically turn off. If you wish to have the heated seats on once the vehicle is restarted, press the button again. 1-3 Reclining Seatbacks Power Recliner If your vehicle has power reclining front seatbacks, the controls are located on the outboard sides of the front seats. Press the top of the vertical control forward or rearward to adjust the seatback angle. Manual Recliner If your vehicle has manual reclining front seatbacks, the levers are located on the outboard sides of the front seats. Lift the lever to release the seatback, then move the seatback to where you want it. Release the lever to lock the seatback in place. To return the seatback to the upright position, pull up on the lever without pushing on the seatback. 1-4 But don’t have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. {CAUTION: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when you’re reclined like this. The shoulder belt can’t do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt can’t do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly. 1-5 Adjust your head restraint so that the top of the restraint is closest to the top of your head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash. The front seat head restraints move up and down. Press the button located at the bottom of the head restraint and raise or lower the head restraint. The head restraints tilt forward and rearward, also. The second row outboard head rests work the same as the front seat head restraints except they do not tilt. The third row head rests are not adjustable. They are removable. They must be removed before the third row seat can be folded. To remove the third row head rests, press the button located on the top of the seatback and pull up on the head rest. Store the head rests in the storage compartment behind the third row. Open the cover and insert the head rest posts through the slats in the carpet. Position and snap the head rests in the provided storage tray. Head Restraints 1-6 Rear Seats Rear Seat Operation Adjusting the Second Row Seat The second row seat can be adjusted forward or rearward. Pull up on the lever under the seat cushion and slide the seat with your body. Release the lever and try to move the seat forward and rearward to be sure it is locked into place. Entering or Exiting the Third Row Seat The passenger’s side of the second row seat has an easy entry feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the third row seat, if your vehicle has one. To operate the seat, pull the release handle located on the top of the seatback. Fold the seatback down then pull the release handle on the top of the seatback to release the seat to tumble forward. Be sure to return the seat to the passenger position when ﬁnished. Push and pull on the seat to make sure it is locked in place. Stowable Seat If your vehicle has a third row seat, it is a power folding seat. The head rests need to be removed before folding the third row seat. See HeadRestraintsonpage1-6 for instructions for removing the third row seat head rests. The seatback will not fold all of the way down if the head rests are not removed. Inside Liftgate The buttons that are used to operate the power folding third row seat are located inside of the liftgate and behind the second row seat on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. 1-7 Two buttons are located inside the liftgate. One button is to tilt the seatback forward for added storage space or when storing a ﬂat tire. The other button is the power folding seat button. The button behind the second row seat is also a power folding seat button. Use either of these to fold the third row seat into a ﬂat ﬂoor. Before folding the third row seat you must have either the liftgate or the rear passenger’s side door open, the vehicle must be in PARK (P), the seatback panel
