keyless CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV 2004 2.G User Guide

The sunroof is also equipped with a sunshade which
you can pull forward to block sun rays.
If a hand, arm, or other object is blocking the sunroof
glass panel as it is closing, the glass panel will stop
at the obstruction. After the obstruction is removed, the
glass panel can be closed or opened.
Use care not to leave the sunroof open for long periods
of time as debris may collect in the tracks.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected or is
not working, you may need to reprogram the sunroof.
To do this, start the vehicle and press the forward
side of the sunroof button until the glass panel moves to
a fully closed position. Release, and press again to
move to the vent position which occurs when the sunroof
is fully tilted rearward. This will reset the memory and
enable the sunroof to function properly.Vehicle Personalization
