Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
I
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
unlock the trunk, open the
fuel door and turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
from about
30 feet (9 m)
away using the
RKE
transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your
RKE system is intended to be used as a
supplementary vehicle entry device. It is not intended to
replace, but rather should be used in conjunction with, a
door lock key.
It operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. This device complies with
RSS-210 of
Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation
of
the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The range of this system is about
30 feet (9 m). At times
you may notice
a decrease in range. This is normal for
any
RKE system. If the transmitter does not work or if
you have to stand closer to your vehicle for the
transmitter
to work, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.
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.
If you’re still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

The numbers on the back of the RKE transmitter
correspond
to Driver 1 and Driver 2. See “Memory
Seat and Personalization” in the Index. Remote
confirmation is not operational if any door
is open.
& When you press this symbol to unlock the driver’s
door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will blink twice.
(You can program your vehicle
so the parking lamps will
not flash. For more information on other program options,
see “Remote Confirmation” in the Index.) Pressing it agai\
n
within five seconds will unlock
the other doors. Pressing
this button will also disarm the optional theft-deterrent
system and
turn on the interior lamps at night.
9 When you press this symbol to lock the doors, the
parking lamps will blink once and the horn will chirp once. (You can program your vehicle
so the parking lamps
will not flash andor the horn will not sound. For more
information on other program options, see “Remote
Confirmation” in the Index.)
This also arrns the optional
theft-deterrent system when the ignition is turned
off.
a Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to open the fuel door.
The
RKE transmitter can also be used to recall the
memory seats for up to two drivers. For more information,
see “Memory Seat and Mirrors”
in the Index.
Resynchronization
Pressing the transmitter buttons numerous times
(approximately
250 times) out of the vehicle’s operating
range may cause the transmitter not
to work. Replacing
the battery and pressing the transmitter buttons out
of
range will also cause the transmitter not to work. If only
the fuel door button works, the transmitter needs to be
resynchronized to the receiver.
Do this by pressing and
holding both the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
transmitter for about eight seconds. You must be within
range of the vehicle.
Once the transmitter has been resynchronized, the horn
will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash once. The
system should now operate properly. See your dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only
up to
four transmitters matched to it.
All transmitters must be present when replacement or additional transmitters are being programmed.

Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
I 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 coin into the notch near the key ring of the
transmitter.
Turn the coin to separate the two halves
of the transmitter.

Every new Cadillac has an ACDelco Freedom@ battery. You never have to add water to one
of these. When it’s
time
for a new battery, we recommend an ACDelco
Freedom battery. Get one that has the replacement
number shown on the original battery’s label.
The battery is located under the rear seat cushion.
To
access the battery, see “Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion” in the Index. You don’t need to access the
battery to jump start your vehicle. See “Jump Starting”
in the Index.
‘AC SJ-ION:
-
A battery that isn’t properly vented can let
sulfuric acid fumes into the area under the rear
seat cushion. These fumes can damage your rear
seat safety belt systems. You may not be able to
see this damage, and the safety belts might not
provide the protection needed in
a crash. If a
replacement battery is ever needed, it must be
vented in the same manner as the original
battery. Always make
sure that the vent hose is
properly reattached before reinstalling the
seat cushion.
