2007 CADILLAC STS V keyless entry

Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate
starts, each with 10 minutes of engine running. If
you press the lock button and then hold the
remote start button on the keyless access
transmitter again for at least three seconds before
the rst 10 minutes of engine running time has
expired, 10 minutes is added to the remaining
minutes. For example, if the remote start is
initiated again after ve minutes of the engine run
time, 10 minutes is added and you now have
15 minutes with the engine running. Once
two remote starts or 20 minutes of the engine
running have been provided, the vehicle must be
started using the keyless access with pushbutton
start feature, if the engine needs to be restarted.
SeeStarting the Engine on page 113for more
information regarding the keyless ignition.The remote start feature will not operate if any of
the following occur:
The check engine light is displayed. See
“Check Engine Light” underMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 252.

The keyless access transmitter is in the
vehicle.
The vehicle’s hood is open.
The vehicle personalization feature is not
enabled.
An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle
theft was attempted.
Your keyless access transmitter, with the remote
start button, provides an increased range of
operation. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running. As a result, you may
need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than
you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeKeyless
Access System on page 87.
