Cadillac 2011 Escalade ESV - Manual (Page 46)

Black plate (14,1) Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2011
2-14 Keys, Doors and Windows
Your vehicle's headlamps will flash
and the horn will sound for about
30 seconds, then will turn off to save
the battery power.
The theft-deterrent system will not
activate if the doors are locked with
the vehicle's key or the manual
door lock. It activates only if you use
the power door lock switch with the
door open or the RKE transmitter.
You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has
been set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
. If you do not want to activate
the theft-deterrent system, the
vehicle should be locked with
the door key after the doors are
closed.
. Always unlock the doors with the
RKE transmitter. Unlocking a
door any other way will set off
the alarm if it is armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
press unlock on the RKE transmitter
or place the key in the ignition and
turn it to START to turn off the
alarm. The alarm will not stop if you
try to unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower
the driver window and open the
driver door.
2. Activate the system by locking
the doors with the power door
lock switch while the door
is open, or with the RKE
transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the
door and wait for the security
light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the
window, unlock the door with
the manual door lock and open
the door. This should set off the
alarm.
While the alarm is set, the power
door unlock switch will not work.
If the alarm does not sound when
it should but the headlamps flash,
check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10‑42.
If the alarm does not sound or the
headlamps do not flash, the vehicle
should be serviced by your dealer.
