2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE lights

The display is located
near the passenger side
rear window and can
be seen by looking over
your right shoulder.
The display has three color-coded lights. The
URPA lights are used to provide distance and
system information, along with beeps that will be
heard through the speakers.
URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear
park aid disable button
located next to the
radio. The indicator will
illuminate to indicate
that URPA is off.The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a DIC, PARKING ASSIST OFF will display.
URPA automatically turns back on each time
the vehicle is started.
How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R). The system also
does not work at a reverse speed greater than
5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this, the red light
on the rear display will ash.
The system can be disabled using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Operation and
Displays on page 245.

How the System Works when Backing
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA
detects objects close to the rear bumper. The rst
time an object is detected a single beep will
sound. If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R)
speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph
(8 km/h), the following describes what will occur
based on your distance to a detected object
located behind the vehicle:
At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and
8 ft (2.5 m), a single amber light will
come on.
At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be on.
At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be on.
At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
beeping sound will repeat for a short time and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be on and
ashing.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the URPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC and
a red light will be shown on the rear URPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system. SeeDIC
Operation and Displays on page 245.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was hanging out of your
trunk during your last drive when you turned off
the vehicle. If the attached objects are removed
from your vehicle before the start of your next
drive, the system will return to normal operation
unless an object is detected when the vehicle is
shifted into REVERSE (R). If this occurs, URPA
assumes the object is still attached, so you will
have to wait until the vehicle is driven forward
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before URPA will
return to normal operation.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages
on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or
is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on briey when
you start the engine just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Often gages and warning lights work together to
let you know when there’s a problem with
your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on when you are driving, or when one of
the gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about it.
Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly – and even dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights and
gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle also has a Driver Information Center
(DIC) that works along with the warning lights
and gages. SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 245.

Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate
a rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun
visor says, “Never put a rear-facing child seat
in the front.” This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.
{CAUTION:
Even though the passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off the
passenger’s frontal airbag if the system
detects a rear-facing child restraint, no
system is failsafe, and no one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off. We recommend
that rear-facing child restraints be secured
in the rear seat, even if the airbag is off.If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag. SeePassenger Sensing
System on page 101for more on this, including
important safety information.
If, after several seconds, all status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the off indicator and the airbag
readiness light ever come on together, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens,
have the vehicle serviced promptly,
because an adult-size person sitting in the
right front passenger seat may not have
the protection of the frontal airbag. See
Airbag Readiness Light on page 232.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will
come on when you start
your engine and may
stay on for several
seconds.
That’s normal. If the light does not come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you are
driving, your vehicle needs service. You will also
hear a chime sound when the light is on steady. If
the regular brake system warning light is not on,
you still have brakes, but you do not have anti-lock
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on you do not have anti-lock brakes and there
is a problem with your regular brakes. In addition to
both lights, you will also hear a chime sound on the
rst occurrence of a problem and each time the
vehicle is shut off and then restarted. SeeBrake
System Warning Light on page 235.The anti-lock brake system warning light should
come on briey when you turn the ignition
key to RUN. If the light does not come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if there
is a problem.
StabiliTrak®Indicator Light
This warning light
should come on briey
when the engine is
started.
If the warning light does not come on then, have it
xed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a
problem. If it stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, there may be a problem with your
StabiliTrak
®system and your vehicle may need
service. When this warning light is on, the system is
off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
This light will also ash when the StabiliTrak
®
system is active.
