Keys
{CAUTION:
Leaving children unattended in a vehicle
is dangerous, but it is even more
dangerous if the keyless access
transmitter is also left in the vehicle. A
child or others could be badly injured or
even killed.
They could operate the power windows or
other controls or even make the vehicle
move. If they started the engine and
moved the shift lever out of PARK (P),
that would release the parking brake.
Do not leave the keyless access
transmitter in a vehicle with children.
65

This key, located inside
the keyless access
transmitter, can be used
for the glove box and

power is lost. SeeTrunk
on page 77for more
information.
To remove the key,
press the button (A)
near the bottom of the
keyless access
transmitter, and pull the
key out. Never pull
the key out without
pressing the button.Your vehicle has a keyless access system with
pushbutton start. SeeIgnition Positions on page 88
for information on starting the vehicle.
Notice:If you ever lose your transmitter(s)
and/or key, it could be difficult to get into your
vehicle. You may even have to damage your
vehicle to get in. Be sure you have a spare
transmitter and/or key.
In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside
Assistance. SeeRoadside Service on page 487.
66

67

If you ever notice a decrease in the keyless
access transmitter range, try doing one of the
following:
Check the distance. You may be too far from
your vehicle. You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or right, hold the transmitter
higher, and try again.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underKeyless Access System Operation on
page 68.
Check to make sure that an electronic device
such as a cellular phone or lap top computer
is not causing interference.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Keyless Access System Operation
Your vehicle has a Keyless Access System
that allows you to lock and unlock your doors,
unlock your trunk lid and disarm or arm your
theft-deterrent system. The range distance is as
much as 100 feet (30 m) away.
Your vehicle comes with
two transmitters, and up
to four can be matched
to your vehicle. See
“Matching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicle” later
in this section.
Q(Lock):Press this button to lock the doors.
The indicator light on the door will ash once.
If this button is pressed twice, the doors will
lock, the light will ash once and the horn will
sound once.
68

K(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The indicator light on the door
will ash twice. Press the button twice within
10 seconds to unlock both doors. If it is dark
enough outside, your interior lamps will come on.
Your memory settings may also be recalled when
you press the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter. SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10for more information.
G(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
about one second to open the trunk while
the engine is turned off or the shift lever is in
PARK (P).
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from working with your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not work with your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the
vehicle key into the key cylinder located on
the lower rear fascia on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. SeeTrunk on page 77for more
information on the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.
69

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your keyless
access transmitter should last about three years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location. If
you have to get close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it is probably time to change the
battery.
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOB DETECTED when you try to start the
vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter in the
glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons facing
to the right. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the
START button. Although this will start the vehicle, it
is recommended that you replace the transmitter
battery as soon as possible. The DIC may display
FOB BATTERY LOW.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care
not to touch any of the circuitry. Static
from your body transferred to these surfaces
may damage the transmitter.1. Insert a at object with a thin edge into the
slot on the side of the transmitter and
separate the bottom half from the top half.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter,
positive (+) side up. Use a battery, type
CR2032, or equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put
it together so water will not get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers — especially
children — can easily open the doors
and fall out of a moving vehicle. When
a door is locked it will not open. You
increase the chance of being thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash if the
doors are not locked. So, wear safety
belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside,
use the keyless access transmitter and press
the appropriate lock or unlock button. You may
also unlock and open the door passively when you
squeeze the door handle sensor, as long as you
have your transmitter with you. Passive entry
occurs when the door handle sensor is pressed
and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is
opened rst, the driver’s door will also become
unlocked.
73

From the inside, use the power door lock buttons
located at the top of the door panel near the
window. SeePower Door Locks on page 75for
more information.
To open a door from the inside, press the button in
front of the door handle and push the door open.
If power to the vehicle or the keyless access
transmitter is lost, there are two ways to open
the door.If you are inside the vehicle, use the door release
handle located on the oor next to each seat.
