2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV keyless

Liftgate/Liftglass
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftglass or liftgate open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your
vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftglass or
liftgate open, or if electrical wiring or other
cable connections must pass through the
seal between the body and the liftglass or
liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the
recirculation mode off. That will force
outside air into your vehicle. SeeDual
Automatic Climate Control System on
page 220.

there is no one in the way of the liftgate
as it is closing.
Notice:If you open the liftgate without
checking for overhead obstructions such as a
garage door, you could break the liftgate
glass. Always check to make sure the area
above the liftgate is clear before opening it.To open and close the liftgate, press and hold the

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
This is the security light.
To activate the theft-deterrent system, do the
following:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. The security light should
come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go
off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.

Trip/Fuel Menu Items
3
(Trip/Fuel):Press this button to scroll
through the following menu items:
Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until ODOMETER
displays. This display shows the distance the
vehicle has been driven in either miles (mi)
or kilometers (km).
To switch between English and metric
measurements, see “Units” later in this section.
Trip Odometer
Press the trip/fuel button until TRIP displays. This
display shows the current distance traveled in
either miles (mi) or kilometers (km) since the last
reset for the trip odometer.
The trip odometer can be reset to zero by pressing
the set/reset button while the trip odometer is
displayed.
Fuel Range
Press the trip/fuel button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km)
the vehicle can be driven without refueling. The
display will show LOW if the fuel level is low.
The fuel range estimate is based on an average
of the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent driving
history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel
tank. This estimate will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in traffic and making
frequent stops, this display may read one number,
but if the vehicle is driven on a freeway, the number
may change even though the same amount of fuel
is in the fuel tank. This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel economies.

If a low or high tire pressure condition is detected
by the system while driving, a message advising
you to check the pressure in a specic tire

If the tire pressure display shows dashes
instead of a value, there may be a problem with
your vehicle. If this consistently occurs, see
your dealer for service.
