Rear Vision Camera (RVC) The rear vision camera displays a view of the area
behind the vehicle on the navigation screen when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). Once shifted out of
R (Reverse), the navigation screen will go back to the
last screen that had been displayed, after a delay.
To clean the camera lens, located above the license
plate, rinse it with water and wipe it with a soft cloth.
Ultrasonic Parking Assist This feature uses sensors on the rear bumper to
detect objects while parking the vehicle. URPA comes
on automatically when the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse) and operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). URPA uses audio beeps to provide distance
and system information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's rear bumper clean to
ensure proper operation.
The system can be disabled by pressing the rear park
aid disable button located next to the radio.
See Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA)
on
page 3 ‑ 46 for more information.

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
This vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote
System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home
Remote buttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to activate devices
such as garage door openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.

Black plate (56,1)Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2010
Do not use this system with any garage door opener
that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to
program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved,
it may be helpful to have another person assist with
programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter
for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future
programming. Only the original remote control
transmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming.
The programmed buttons should be erased when the
vehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “ Erasing
Universal Home Remote Buttons ” later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage when
programming a garage door. Be sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door or gate that is
being programmed. Programming Universal Home

Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are Rolling
Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and
the procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press the two outside
buttons at the same time for one to two seconds,
and immediately release them.

Press this button. After pressing this button,
complete the following steps in less than
30 seconds. 3. Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and hold
the Universal Home Remote button that will be

when the garage door moves. The indicator light
will blink rapidly until programming is complete.
5. Press and release the same button again.
The garage door should move, confirming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another Rolling Code device such as an
additional garage door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat Steps 1 through 5,
choosing a different function button in Step 3 than what
was used for the garage door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the garage door
opener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow the

transmitter.
The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit)
could also have a row of dip switches that can be
used when programming the Universal Home
Remote. If the total number of switches on the
motor head and hand held transmitter are different,
or if the dip switch settings are different, use the
dip switch settings on the motor head unit to
program the Universal Home Remote. The motor
head dip switch settings can also be used when
the original hand held transmitter is not available.
