2007 CADILLAC XLR change key battery

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.

Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods
of time, by pressing the START button
immediately after cranking has ended, can
overheat and damage the cranking motor, and
drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds
between each try, to allow the cranking motor
to cool down.
Your vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in starting the
engine and protects components. Once cranking
has been initiated, the engine continues cranking
for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts. If
the engine does not start, cranking automatically
be stops after 15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear damage,
this system also prevents cranking if the engine is
already running.
Notice:Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you add
electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with
your dealer. If you do not, your engine might
not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranty.Stopping Your Engine
Move the shift lever to PARK (P) and press the
Acc. (Off/Accessory) button located on the
instrument panel. If the shifter is not in PARK (P),
the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes into
the Accessory Mode. The DIC displays″SHIFT TO
PARK″. Once the shifter is moved to PARK (P),
the vehicle turns off.
If the keyless access transmitter is not detected
inside the vehicle when it is turned to off, the DIC
displays NO FOB – OFF OR RUN?.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 206for

Have you recently changed brands of fuel?
If so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel.
SeeGasoline Octane on page 366. Poor fuel
quality will cause the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed. You may notice this as
stalling after start-up, stalling when you put
the vehicle into gear, misring, hesitation on
acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once the engine is
warmed up.) This will be detected by the system
and cause the light to turn on.
If you experience one or more of these conditions,
change the fuel brand you use. It will require at
least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the
light off.
If none of the above steps have made the light
turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle.
Your dealer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to x any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed.Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or may begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass
this inspection could prevent you from getting a
vehicle registration.
Here are some things you need to know to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine light is on or not working properly.
To perform a check engine light bulb check with the
keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in
the passenger compartment. SeeIgnition Positions
on page 88. Press the bottom of the Acc. button on
the instrument panel and hold the button down for
ve seconds. The instrument panel, including the
check engine light, will light up and the ignition will
be on, but the engine will not start — if you press
the bottom of the Acc. button only briey, less than
ve seconds, the accessory power mode will be
turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb check,
be sure to press and release the Acc. button again
to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the
vehicle’s battery.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle has personalization capabilities that
allow you to program certain features to a
preferred setting for up to two drivers. The back of
the keyless access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2.
The current driver’s preferences are recalled
when one of the following occurs:
The lock or unlock button on the keyless
access transmitter, programmed as 1 or 2, is
pressed.
The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2,
located on the driver’s seat is pressed.
SeeMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel
on page 10for more information.
A valid keyless access transmitter is detected
upon opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter
is detected upon opening the driver’s door, the
driver preferences for the lowest driver number will
be recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter is programmed
as #3 or #4, the personalization system will
not recognize the transmitter. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) will not display a currentdriver number and the features that are normally
programmed through the DIC will be set to
the default states. Also, if the OPTIONS button is
pressed, the DIC does not display the menus
used to set personalizations, but instead displays
OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for a few seconds.
Feature Programming
To change feature preferences, make sure the
vehicle is running and in PARK (P). To avoid
excessive drain on the battery, it is recommended
that the headlamps are turned off. Press the
OPTIONS button and the Driver Information Center
(DIC) will display the current driver for a few
seconds, then display the rst personalization
menu item. You can now use the OPTIONS button
to change the setting of the displayed feature.
Press the top or bottom of the information button
to scroll up or down the list of features. When
you get to a feature you want to change, press the
OPTIONS button again. When you are nished,
press the RESET button to exit the personalization
menu. If no button is pressed within 45 seconds,
the DIC will exit the personalization menu.
The following are DIC options that will be available
in the personalization menu.

To select HOME and AWAY preset stations, do
the following:
1. With the audio system on, touch the Audio
hard key and turn the audio system off.
2. Touch the HOME or AWAY button from the
main audio screen.
The next time the audio system is turned on,
the system will recall the last active preset

you will not have to reset your home audio
system preset stations because the audio system
remembers them. However, you will have to
reset your away radio preset stations.
Voice Recognition
The navigation system’s voice recognition allows
for hands-free operation of navigation and
audio system features. Voice recognition can be
used when the ignition is on or when Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) is active.This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted
and I AGREE has been selected. If you try to
use voice recognition without the map DVD
inserted, the system will display “Please insert the
navigation map DVD to use the voice recognition
feature.”
To use navigation voice recognition, do the
following:
1. Press the talk
symbol steering
wheel control
and release it, when
you hear a beep.
The audio system, if
on, will mute.
2. Clearly state one of the commands listed on
the following pages. For example, say “FM1”.
3. The system will tell you the command being
implemented. For example, the system will
say “FM1 Radio” and change the audio
system to the FM1 source.
