ECU CADILLAC CTS V 2007 1.G Owner's Guide

Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle has rear door security locks that
prevent passengers from opening the rear doors
on your vehicle from the inside.
The rear door security
locks are located on the
inside edge of each
rear door. You must
open the rear doors to
access them.
To use these locks, do the following:
1. Insert your key into the slot next to the rear
door security lock label and turn it to engage
the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Repeat the steps for the other rear door.The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened
from the inside when this feature is in use.
When you want to open a rear door when the
security lock is on, do the following:
1. Unlock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, the front door power
lock switch or by lifting the rear door
manual lock.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door security lock, do the
following:
1. Unlock the door and open it from the outside.
2. Insert your key into the slot next to the
rear door security lock label and turn it
to disengage the lock.
3. Repeat the steps for the other lock.
The rear door locks will now work normally.

Rear-Seat Pass Through
If your vehicle has the rear seat-pass through
door, you can access the trunk without opening
the trunk lid. This is especially useful when
transporting long items.
To open the door, pull down the rear seat armrest.
Then pull the lever all the way down to release
the door.
To close the door, push it up and back into place.
Then try to open the door without pulling up on
the lever to make sure it is locked into place.
Emergency Trunk Release Handle
Notice:Do not use the emergency trunk
release handle as a tie-down or anchor point
when securing items in the trunk as it
could damage the handle. The emergency
trunk release handle is only intended to aid a
person trapped in a latched trunk, enabling
them to open the trunk from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk
release handle located on the back wall of the
trunk. This handle will glow following exposure to
light. Pull the release handle toward the front
of the vehicle to open the trunk from the inside.
106

Sun Visors
Swing down the primary visor to block out glare.
It can also be detached from the center mount
and moved to the side to block glare from
that direction.
The driver’s visor may also have buttons for a
built-in garage door opener. SeeUniversal Home
Remote System on page 147for more
information.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover to access the
mirror. A light comes on when the cover is lifted
and goes out when it is closed.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
If your vehicle has this
feature, the security
light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
111

To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door
lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light
will come on. It should go off within
approximately 30 seconds. Your security
system is now armed.
If a door or a trunk is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps
will ash for up to 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use the RKE
transmitter or the power lock on the door.To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
Lock the door with the key or the manual door
lock after the doors are closed if you do not
want to arm the theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter disables the
theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate
the alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with a
valid key.
112

Testing the Alarm
1. Roll down the window, then get out of the
vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock switch or the RKE transmitter and close
the door. Wait approximately 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock and open the door. The horn
will sound and the exterior lamps will ash.
The alarm can be turned off by unlocking the
driver’s door with the key, using the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter or by starting the car
with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 447. If the fuse does not need
to be replaced, you may need to have your vehicle
serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

113

Immobilizer Operation
Your vehicle has a
passive theft-deterrent
system.
The system works when the key is turned to ON.
The key uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only the
correct key will start the vehicle. If the key is ever
damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle.When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the security light comes on, the
key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check
the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 447. If the engine still does not start with the
other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
vehicle does start, the rst key may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a new key made.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent system decoder
to learn the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
114

Canadian Owners:If you lose or damage your
keys, only a GM dealer can service the
theft-deterrent system to have new keys made.
To program additional keys you will require
two current driver’s keys. You must add a step to
the following procedure. After Step 2, repeat
Steps 1 and 2 with the second current driver’s key.
Then continue with Step 3.
To program a new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3+ stamped
on it.
2. Insert the current driver’s key in the ignition
and start the engine. If the engine will not
start see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
OFF, and remove the key.4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
ON within ten seconds of removing the
previous key.
5. The security light will turn off once the key
has been programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security light went on due to
how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 4 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
If the security light comes on and stays on while
driving, you will be able to restart the engine if you
turn it off. The theft-deterrent system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced
by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the theft-deterrent system at this time.

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With One Triangular LED)
If there is one triangular Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator light above the Universal Home
Remote buttons, follow the instructions below.
Do not use the Universal Home Remote with
any garage door opener that does not have the
stop and reverse feature. This includes any
garage door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982. If you have a newer garage
door opener with rolling codes, please be sure
to follow Steps 6 through 8 to complete the
programming of your Universal Home Remote
Transmitter.Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the Universal Home Remote.
Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful
to have another person available to assist you
in the programming steps
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future Universal
Home Remote programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons”
later in section.
When programming a garage door, it is advised to
park outside of the garage. Be sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage door or
gate operator you are programming.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed
in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and
more accurate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.
