2010 CADILLAC ESCALADE remote start

Notice:Ignoring these steps could result in costlydamage to the vehicle that would not be covered bythe warranty.
Trying to start the vehicle by pushing or pulling itwill not work, and it could damage the vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-voltbattery with a negative ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle's system is not a 12-voltsystem with a negative ground, both vehicles canbe damaged. Only use vehicles with 12-volt systemswith negative grounds to jump start your vehicle.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumpercables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are nottouching each other. If they are, it could cause aground connection you do not want. You would notbe able to start your vehicle, and the badgrounding could damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, setthe parking brake firmly on both vehicles involvedin the jump start procedure. Put the automatictransmission in P (Park) or a manual transmissionin Neutral before setting the parking brake. If youhave a four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure thetransfer case is in a drive gear, not in Neutral.
Notice:If you leave the radio or other accessorieson during the jump starting procedure, they couldbe damaged. The repairs would not be covered bythe warranty. Always turn off the radio and otheraccessories when jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplugunnecessary accessories plugged into thecigarette lighter or the accessory power outlets.Turn off the radio and all the lamps that are notneeded. This avoids sparks and helps save bothbatteries. And it could save the radio!
4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate thepositive (+) and negative (!) terminal locations onthat vehicle.
Your vehicle has a remote positive (+) jump startingterminal and a remote negative (!) jump startingterminal. You should always use these remoteterminals instead of the terminals on the battery.
If the vehicle has a remote positive (+) terminal, itis located under a red plastic cover at the positivebattery post. To uncover the remote positive (+)terminal, open the red plastic cover.

The remote negative (-) terminal is a stud locatedon the right front of the engine, where the negativebattery cable attaches.
SeeEngine Compartment Overviewon page 7!16for more information on the location of the remotepositive (+) and remote negative (!) terminals.
{WARNING:
An electric fan can start up even when the engine
is not running and can injure you. Keep hands,
clothing and tools away from any underhood
electric fan.
{WARNING:
Using an open flame near a battery can cause
battery gas to explode. People have been hurt
doing this, and some have been blinded. Use a
flashlight if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You do not
need to add water to the battery installed in your
new vehicle. But if a battery has filler caps, be
sure the right amount of fluid is there. If it is low,
add water to take care of that first. If you do not,
explosive gas could be present.
Battery fluid contains acid that can burn you. Do
not get it on you. If you accidentally get it in your
eyes or on your skin, flush the place with water
and get medical help immediately.

TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.Any time you rotate your vehicle's tires or replace oneor more of the TPMS sensors, the identification codeswill need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positionsin the following order: driver side front tire, passengerside front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driverside rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See yourdealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire's airpressure. If increasing the tire's air pressure, do notexceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on thetire's sidewall.
To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can use thepointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressuregage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the first tire/wheelposition, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than two minutes, tomatch the first tire and wheel, or more than five minutesto match all four tire and wheel positions the matchingprocess stops and you need to start over.
The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with theengine off.
3. PressQandKon the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter at the same time forapproximately five seconds. The horn sounds twiceto signal the receiver is in relearn mode and TIRELEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the DICscreen.
4. Start with the driver side front tire.
