Cellular Phone Usage Cellular phone usage may cause interference with
the vehicle's radio. This interference may occur
when making or receiving phone calls, charging the
phone's battery, or simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is received while listening
to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.
Rear Side Window Antenna The AM-FM antenna is located in the passenger rear
side windows. Make sure the inside surfaces of the rear
side windows are not scratched and that the lines on
the glass are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are
damaged, they could interfere with radio reception.
If a cellular telephone antenna needs to be attached to
the glass, make sure that the grid lines for the AM-FM
antenna are not damaged. There is enough space
between the grid lines to attach a cellular telephone
antenna without interfering with radio reception. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside of the rear side windows may affect radio
reception or damage the rear side window antenna.
Repairs would not be covered by the warranty. Do
not clear the inside of the rear side windows with
sharp objects.
Notice: Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with
metallic film. The metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or distort the incoming
radio reception. Any damage caused to the antenna
due to metallic tinting materials will not be covered
by the warranty.
XM ™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System The XM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof of
the vehicle. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for
clear radio reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the XM
system may be affected if the sunroof is open.

how the navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio
functions.
While entering the vehicle or when turning the vehicle
off, some DVD Map Disc noise is normal.
Keeping your eyes on the road and your mind on the
drive is important for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features intended to help keep your
eyes on the road and mind on the drive. Some features
may be disabled while driving. Note that these functions
will be grayed-out. A grayed-out function indicates it is
not available when the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the vehicle is parked.
Do the following before driving: .
Become familiar with the navigation system
operation, hard keys on the faceplate, and
touch-sensitive screen buttons of the navigation
system. .
Set up the audio by presetting favorite stations,
setting the tone, and adjusting the speakers.
5-4
Page 307 of 620
Black plate (5,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2010 .
Set up the navigation features before beginning
driving, such as entering an address or a preset
destination. .
Set up your phone numbers in advance so they
can be called easily with the press of a single
button or a single voice command (for navigation
systems equipped with phone capability).
{ WARNING: Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often
while using the navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death to you or others.
Focus your attention on driving.
{ WARNING: Avoid looking too long or too often at the moving
map on the navigation screen. This could cause a
crash and you or others can be injured or killed.
Use the turn-by-turn voice guidance directions
whenever possible. Use the navigation system to: .
Plan a route. .
Select a destination using various methods and
choices. .
Follow turn-by-turn route and map guidance with
voice prompts, only if permitted by traffic laws,
controls, and conditions.
You should always be alert and obey traffic and
roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the
guidance from the navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map information that
does not include all traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a road that is now closed
for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at
the intersection. Because the system uses limited
information, you must always evaluate whether
following the system's directions is safe and legal for
the current conditions.

To help avoid a crash in which you or others could be
killed: .
Always concentrate on your driving first by keeping
your eyes and mind on the road, and your hands
on the wheel. .
Follow system directions only if permitted by traffic
laws, controls, and conditions. .
Before using this system, read the owner manual
and learn how it operates. .
Some system controls cannot be used the when
vehicle is moving.

the map DVD information. If OK is not selected, all
hard keys except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST

preference or delete information you may have entered
using various options.
