4. If equipped with a shoulderbelt height adjuster, move it to
the height that is right for you.
See “Shoulder Belt Height
Adjuster” in this section for
instructions on use and
important safety information.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull
up on the shoulder belt.
It may be necessary to pull
stitching on the safety belt
through the latch plate to fully
tighten the lap belt on smaller
occupants. To unlatch the belt, push the button
on the buckle. The belt should
return to its stowed position.
Before a door is closed, be sure
the safety belt is out of the way. If a
door is slammed against a safety
belt, damage can occur to both the
belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt
height adjuster for the driver and
right front passenger positions.
Adjust the height so the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the
shoulder and not falling off of it.
The belt should be close to, but
not contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment
could reduce the effectiveness of
the safety belt in a crash. See
How
to Wear Safety Belts Properly on
page 3‑25.
Squeeze the buttons (A) on the
sides of the height adjuster and
move the height adjuster to the
desired position.
The adjuster can be moved up just
by pushing up on the shoulder belt
guide.
After the adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it
down without squeezing the buttons
to make sure it has locked into
position.

Universal Remote System
Programming
Vehicles with the Universal Remote
System will have these buttons
located in the headliner. This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use this system 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.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to
have another person assist with
programming the transmitter.

Instruments and Controls 5-51
Be sure to keep the original
remote control transmitter for
use in other vehicles, as well as
for future programming. Only the
original remote control transmitter
is needed for Fixed Code
programming. The programmed
buttons should be erased when the
vehicle is sold or the lease ends.
See“Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons” in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the
garage when programming a garage
door. Be sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or gate that is being programmed.

at the same time for one to
two seconds, and immediately
release them.
2. In the garage, locate thegarage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit). Find the
“Learn” or“Smart” button.
It can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit
and may be a colored button.
Press this button. After pressing
this button, complete the
following steps in less than
30 seconds.

7-2 Infotainment System
Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
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. A few 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,
control buttons 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.
.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.

Black plate (3,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2011
Infotainment System 7-3
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.
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.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
TheftLock®is designed to
discourage theft of the vehicle's
radio by learning a portion of the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
The radio does not operate if it is
stolen or moved to a different
vehicle.
Overview
When the navigation system is
turned on, a screen may appear
with the information below, and
you must read and acknowledge
the information it contains.
After you acknowledge the start
up information you will be able
to access the NAV (navigation)
and DEST (destination) functions.
Once accessed, you can enter or
delete information in the navigation
system or access other functions.
See instructions later in this section.
Every fifty times the vehicle
is started and the navigation
system is turned on, the Caution
screen appears. After reading the
caution, select OK to load the map
information. If OK is not selected, all
control buttons except for NAV and
DEST can be accessed. You can
also press the NAV control button to
have this Caution screen appear.
When getting started, set the
navigation system to your
preference or delete information
you may have entered using
various options.
