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
PARK
(P)
or NEUTRAL
(N).
Your engine won’t
start
in
any other position
--
that’s
a
safety feature.
To
restart when you’re
already moving, use
NEUTRAL
(N)
only.

NOTICE:
Don’t
try
to shift to
PARK
(P)
if your Cadillac is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to
PARK
(P)
only
when your vehicle is stopped.
To
start your Northstar
V8
engine:
1.
Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition

to
START
When
the engine starts, let go
of
the
key. The idle speed
will
go
down
as your engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in
START
for longer than
15
seconds at a time
will cause your battery to be drained much sooner.
And
the
excessive heat can damage your starter motor.
