2010 CADILLAC ESCALADE EXT remote control

Auxiliary Devices
The vehicle may have a rear entertainment system
(RSE) with a second and third row screen. The RSE
has audio adapters to allow you to connect auxiliary
devices. The audio can be heard through the speakers
or through the wireless or wired headphones. See
“Audio/Video Jacks”under,Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) System
on page 4‑77for more information.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). See Defensive Driving
on page 6‑2for more information on driver distraction.
To switch the RSE system to use an auxiliary device:
1. Connect the auxiliary device to the RSE system, for the second or third row.
2. Press the AUDIO key then press the AUDIO key repeatedly until AUX (auxiliary) is selected or touch
the AUX screen button. An auxiliary device must
be connected for the AUX screen button to appear
as an option to select.
3. For the second row display select the Rear AUX screen button next to Rear Display 1 and for the
third row display select the Rear AUX screen
button next to Rear Display 2. Each screen works
independently of the other. The second row screen
can watch a DVD while the third row screen can
use the auxiliary device.
The rear seat passengers can also use the remote
control to change the functions of the RSE. See Rear
Seat Entertainment (RSE) System
on page 4‑77for
more information.

.Always carry a litter bag and make sure all refuse
is removed from any campsite before leaving.
.Take extreme care with open fires (where
permitted), camp stoves, and lanterns.
.Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other
combustible materials that could catch fire from
the heat of the vehicle's exhaust system.
Traveling to Remote Areas
It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going
to a remote area. Know the terrain and plan your route.
Get accurate maps of trails and terrain. Check to see if
there are any blocked or closed roads.
It is also a good idea to travel with at least one other
vehicle in case something happens to one of them.
For vehicles with a winch, be sure to read the winch
instructions. In a remote area, a winch can be handy
if you get stuck but you will want to know how to
use it properly.
Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving
It is a good idea to practice in an area that is safe and
close to home before you go into the wilderness.
Off-roading requires some new and different skills.Tune your senses to different kinds of signals.
Your eyes need to constantly sweep the terrain for
unexpected obstacles. Your ears need to listen for
unusual tire or engine sounds. Use your arms,
hands, feet, and body to respond to vibrations and
vehicle bounce.
Controlling the vehicle is the key to successful off-road
driving. One of the best ways to control the vehicle is to
control the speed. At higher speeds:
.You approach things faster and have less time
to react.
.There is less time to scan the terrain for obstacles.
.The vehicle has more bounce when driving
over obstacles.
.More braking distance is needed, especially on
an unpaved surface.
{WARNING:
When you are driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily throw you
out of position. This could cause you to lose
control and crash. So, whether you are driving on
or off the road, you and your passengers should
wear safety belts.
