Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by using
satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the
accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense.
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. Refer
to Global Positioning System (GPS)
on page 7‑76.

Black plate (77,1)Cadillac Escalade EXT Owner Manual - 2012
Infotainment System 7-77
This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the front
dash of the vehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.
.After-market glass tinting has
been applied to the vehicle's
windshield.
Notice: Do not apply after-market
glass tinting to the vehicle's
windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system's ability to
receive GPS signals and causes
the system to malfunction. The
window might have to be
replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the
warranty. For more information if the GPS is
not functioning properly, see
Vehicle
Positioning on page 7‑77 and
Problems with Route Guidance on
page 7‑78.
Vehicle Positioning

on the map may be inaccurate due
to one or more of the following
reasons:
.Road system has changed.
.Vehicle is driving on slippery
road surfaces such as in sand,
gravel, and/or snow.
.Vehicle is traveling on winding
roads.
.Vehicle is on a long
straight road.
.Vehicle is approaching a tall
building or a large vehicle.
.Surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
.Vehicle has just been transferred
by a vehicle carrier or a ferry.
.Current position calibration is set
incorrectly.
.Vehicle is traveling at high
speed.
.Vehicle changes directions more
than once, or when the vehicle is
turning on a turn table in a
parking lot.
.Vehicle is entering and/or exiting
a parking lot or a garage.
.GPS signal is not received.
.Roof carrier is installed on the
vehicle.
.Vehicle is being driven with tire
chains.
.Tires are replaced.
.Tire pressure for the tires is
incorrect.
.Tires are worn.
.First time the map DVD is
inserted.
.Battery is disconnected for
several days.

when using automatic rerouting.
.There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
.Plural names of places may be
announced occasionally.
.It may take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
.Automatic rerouting may display
a route returning to the set
stopover if you are heading for a
destination without passing
through a set stopover.
.The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
.Some routes may not be
searched.
.The route to the destination may
not be shown if there are new
roads, if roads have recently
changed, or if certain roads are
not listed on the map DVD. See

8-4 Climate Controls
-(Defog):This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, floor
outlets, and side window vents. In
this mode, the system turns off
recirculation and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside temperature is close to
freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the
defog mode.
0(Defrost): This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window vents,
with some directed to the floor
vents. In this mode, the system
automatically forces outside air
into the vehicle and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside temperature is close to
freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode. The passenger temperature control
cannot be activated while in defrost
mode. If the passenger control
knob is pressed, the passenger
temperature flashes three times
and will not work. If the passenger
control knob is adjusted, the driver
temperature indicator changes. The
passenger temperature will not be
displayed.
If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is
selected again, the climate control
system displays the previous
temperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):
Press to
turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on. Pressing this button when the
outside temperature is too cool for
air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator flash three
times and then turn off indicating
the air conditioning mode is not
available. If the air conditioning is
on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is
too cool for air conditioning to be
effective, the air conditioning light
turns off to show that the air
conditioning mode has been
canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape.
This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so a
small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.
