ECU CADILLAC DTS PROFESSIONAL 2006 1.G Owner's Guide

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.
Valet Lockout Switch
The valet lockout switch
is located inside the
glove box.
9(Off):Press this side of the button to turn the
lockout feature off. When the lockout feature is off, you
can open the trunk using either the keyless entry
transmitter or the trunk release button located near the
headlamp switch on the instrument panel.
R(On):Press this side of the button to turn the
lockout feature on. When the lockout feature is turned
on, the trunk cannot be unlocked with the keyless
entry transmitter or the trunk release button located near
the headlamp switch on the instrument panel.
If the valet lockout feature is on it will also disable the
Universal Home Remote transmitter, if equipped.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help to
secure your vehicle.
SeeRemote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-5andTrunk on page 2-13for additional
information.
Content Theft-Deterrent
The security light is
located on the instrument
panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the security
light will ash, reminding you to arm the system.
2-19

To arm the system, do the following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch
with the door open or the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The security light should come on
and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The security light should go off
within approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a
remote keyless entry transmitter, the horn will sound
and the lamps will ash for about 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 a power door lock with the
door open or the remote keyless entry transmitter.To avoid activating the alarm by accident do
the following:
The vehicle should be locked with the door 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 remote
keyless entry transmitter system. Pressing the
unlock button on the remote keyless entry
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 remote keyless entry
transmitter system, or by starting the car with a
valid key.
Changes or modications made to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use the theft system.
2-20

Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, 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 or the
remote keyless entry system and close the
door. Wait 30 seconds until the security lamp
goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manual
lock and open the door. The horn will sound and
the hazard lights will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s door
with your key, using the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry 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 5-93. 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.
PASS-Key®III+
The PASS-Key®III+ system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
PASS-Key
®III+ uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
PASS-Key®III+ Operation
Your vehicle has PASS-Key®III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive theft-deterrent system. This
means you do not have to do anything special to arm
or disarm the system. It works when you insert or
remove the key from the ignition or transition the key
from run, accessory or start from the off position.
2-21

When the PASS-Key®III+ system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it prevents the vehicle from
starting. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start
the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high
number of electrical key codes.
If the engine does not start and the security light comes
on when trying to start the vehicle, 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 5-93. 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
PASS-Key
®III+ to have a new key made. In an
emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®III+ decoder to “learn”
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to nine additional keys may be programmed for the
vehicle. The following procedure is for programming
additional keys only. If all the currently programmed
keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III+
to have keys made and programmed to the system.See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III+ to get a new key blank that is cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.
To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has a
1stamped on it.
2. Insert the original, already programmed, 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 new key to be programmed and turn it to
the RUN position within ve seconds of removing
the original key.
5. The security light will turn off once the key has
been programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If you are driving and the security light comes on and
stays on, you may be able to restart your engine.
Your PASS-Key
®III+ system, however, may not be
working properly and must be serviced by your dealer.
If you lose or damage your PASS-Key
®III+ key,
see your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III+ to have a new key made.

2-45

Universal Home Remote System
Operation
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 this section or, for assistance, see
Customer Assistance Offices on page 7-4.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.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.Programming Universal Home Remote
Follow these steps to program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside Universal
Home Remote buttons, releasing only when the
Universal Home Remote indicator light begins
to ash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program a second and/or third
hand-held transmitter to the remaining two Universal
Home Remote buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the
indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
Universal Home Remote button and the hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release the buttons
until Step 4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
