CADILLAC ESCALADE 2003 2.G Owners Manual

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to ªtime outº or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink
žto pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to
ªtime outº in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
ªProgramming HomeLink
žº procedures (regardless of
where you live), replace Step 3 under ªProgramming
HomeLink
žº with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
žbutton while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by HomeLink
ž. The
indicator light will ¯ash slowly at ®rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink
žº
to complete.
Using HomeLinkž
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLinkžbutton for at
least half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLinkžButtons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to ¯ash, after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds.
HomeLink
žis now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2
under ªProgramming HomeLink
ž.º
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See ªReprogramming a Single
HomeLink
žButtonº next.

žbutton. Do
not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to ¯ash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink
ž
button, proceed with Step 2 under ªProgramming
HomeLinkž.º

Luggage Carrier
You can load things on top of your vehicle if it has this
feature.
The luggage carrier has slats and siderails attached to
the roof and may have crossrails which can be
moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load
to the siderails or siderail supports.
Notice:Loading cargo that weighs more than 200
lbs. (91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage your
vehicle. When you carry large things, never let
them hang over the rear or the sides of your vehicle.
Load your cargo so that it rests on the slats and
does not scratch or damage the vehicle. Put
the cargo against the side rails and fasten it
securely to the luggage carrier. Put the main weight
as far forward as you can.
Don't exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, see
Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-51.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you're leaving,
check now and then to make sure the luggage and
cargo are still securely fastened.
2-45

Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
·If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, place
the load in the area over the rear wheels (behind
the rear passenger doors on ESV models). If
you need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to ®t
inside the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
If plywood is used, tie it to the siderail supports.
·Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail supports.
Use the crossrails only to keep the load from
sliding. To move the crossrails, loosen the release
knob at each end. Slide the crossrail to the
desired position balancing the force side to side.
Tighten the release knobs and slide the crossrail
back and forth slightly to be sure it is securely
in place.
·If you need to carry long items, move the crossrails
as far apart as they will go. Tie the load to the
crossrails and the siderails or siderail supports.
Do not tie the load so tightly that the crossrails or
siderails are damaged.
·For the purpose of wind noise reduction, locate the
front crossrail approximately 18 to 24 inches
(46 to 58 cm) rearward of the front supports.
·After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
