start stop button CADILLAC XLR V 2006 1.G Owners Manual

Arming the System
Use one of the three following items listed here to
arm the system:
Press the lock button on the keyless access
transmitter.
Open the door. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch. The security light should ash.
Remove the keyless access transmitter from the
interior of the vehicle and close the door. The
security light will stop ashing and stay on. After
30 seconds, the light should turn off.
The vehicle can be programmed to automatically
lock the doors and arm the system when you exit
the vehicle. SeeDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 3-78.
Now, if a door or the trunk lid is opened without the
keyless access transmitter, the alarm will go off.
Your horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go
off to save battery power. And, your vehicle will not
start without a keyless transmitter present.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock the
driver’s door with the power door lock switch after
the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keyless access transmitter, have the passenger
lock the vehicle after the doors are closed. This way the
alarm will not arm, and your passenger will not set it off.
Testing the Alarm
Do the following to test the system:
1. Make sure the trunk lid is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver’s door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually pull
the release lever on the oor.
6. Turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock button on
the transmitter.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 6-86. If the horn works, but the
alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Always use your keyless access transmitter to unlock
a door either by pressing the unlock button on the
transmitter or by squeezing the door handle sensor while
you have the transmitter with you. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds,
press the unlock button on the keyless access transmitter
to disarm it.

Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to 10 minutes after the engine is turned off:
Radio
Power Windows
Audio Steering Wheel Controls
Power to these accessories stops after 10 minutes
or if a door is opened. If you want power for
another 10 minutes, close all the doors and press
the ACC button to place the vehicle in accessory
mode. Press the button again and the vehicle will
return to RAP.
Starting the Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine will not start in any other position — that is
a safety feature. To restart when you are already
moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only.
The keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle
for the ignition to work.
Notice:Do not try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
1. With your foot on the brake pedal, press the
START button located on the instrument panel.
If there is not a keyless access transmitter present
or if there is something causing interference
with it, the DIC will display NO FOB DETECTED.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-67
for more information. When the engine begins
cranking, let go of the button. The idle speed will go
down as your engine gets warm.
If the battery in the keyless access transmitter is
weak, the DIC will display FOB BATTERY
LOW. You can still drive the vehicle. See “Battery
Replacement” underKeyless Access System
Operation on page 2-5for more information.
2-22

Notice:Holding the button in for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause the vehicle’s battery
to be drained much sooner. This can also cause
damage to the starter motor. Wait 15 seconds
between each try to avoid draining your vehicle’s
battery or damaging the starter.
2. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is
displayed, wait 15 seconds before trying again.
Notice:Your engine is designed to work with the
electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical
parts or accessories, you could change the way the
engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment,
check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine
might not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.Stopping Your Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the ACC
button located on the instrument panel. If the shifter is
not in PARK (P), the vehicle will go into the accessory
mode, the engine will turn off and the DIC will display
SHIFT TO PARK. When the shifter is moved to
PARK (P), the vehicle will go into the RAP mode, if all
doors are closed. The ignition mode will change to OFF,
if a front door is opened. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-22for more information.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected
while going to off, the DIC will display
NO FOB – OFF OR RUN?
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-67for
more information.

1. Adjust the driver’s seat including the seatback
recliner, lumbar and head restraint, both outside
mirrors and the steering wheel to a comfortable
position.
2. Press and hold button 1 until two beeps are heard,
then release the button.

button is pressed and released, a single beep will sound.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), the memory positions will be
recalled after a brief delay. If the vehicle is not in
PARK (P), three beeps will be heard and the memory
position will not be recalled.
When the engine is started, the seat, mirrors, and
steering wheel may automatically adjust to their
programmed positions.
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at
any time, press one of the power seat controls,
power mirror control buttons, memory buttons,
or power steering column control.Two personalized exit positions can be set by rst
recalling the driving position (by pressing 1 or 2), then
positioning the steering wheel and seat in the desired
exit positions and then pressing and holding the
exit button until two beeps are heard. The exit button
is located between buttons 1 and 2. With the vehicle
in PARK (P), the exit position for the previously
set driver can be recalled by pressing the exit button.
When you use the keyless access transmitter to unlock
your vehicle, automatic seat and steering wheel
movement to the exit position may occur. The numbers
on the back of the transmitter, 1 and 2, corresponds
to the numbers on the memory buttons.
Further programming for automatic seat and mirror
movement can be done using the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
