Introduction
Read this manual thoroughly to
become familiar with how the
navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes
navigation and audio functions.
Keeping your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive is important
for safe driving. The navigation
system has built-in features
intended to help keep your eyes on
the road and mind on the drive.
A few features may be disabled
while driving. Note that these
functions will be grayed-out.
A grayed-out function indicates it is
not available when the vehicle is
moving.
Black plate (2,1)Cadillac Escalade EXT Owner Manual - 2011
7-2 Infotainment System
All functions are available when the
vehicle is parked. Do the following
before driving:
.Become familiar with the
navigation system operation,
control buttons on the faceplate,
and touch-sensitive screen
buttons of the navigation
system.
.Set up the audio by presetting
favorite stations, setting the
tone, and adjusting the
speakers.
.Set up the navigation features
before beginning driving, such
as entering an address or a
preset destination.
.Set up your phone numbers
in advance so they can be
called easily with the press of a
single button or a single voice
command (for navigation
systems equipped with phone
capability).
{WARNING
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often while using the
navigation system could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death
to you or others. Focus your
attention on driving.
{WARNING
Avoid looking too long or too
often at the moving map on the
navigation screen. This could
cause a crash and you or others
can be injured or killed. Use the
turn-by-turn voice guidance
directions whenever possible.Use the navigation system to:
.Plan a route.
.Select a destination using
various methods and choices.
.Follow turn-by-turn route and
map guidance with voice
prompts, only if permitted by
traffic laws, controls, and
conditions.
Always be alert and obey traffic
and roadway laws and instructions,
regardless of the guidance from the
navigation system. Because the
navigation system uses street map
information that does not include all
traffic restrictions or the latest road
changes, it may suggest using a
road that is now closed for
construction or a turn that is
prohibited by signs at the
intersection. Because the system
uses limited information, you must
always evaluate whether following
the system's directions is safe and
legal for the current conditions.

Radio
AM-FM Radio
Notice: Before adding any
sound equipment to the vehicle,
such as an audio system, CD
player, CB radio, mobile
telephone, or two-way radio,
make sure that it can be added
by checking with your dealer.
Also, check federal rules
covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound
equipment can be added, it is
very important to do it properly.
Added sound equipment can
interfere with the operation of the
vehicle's engine, radio, or other
systems, and even damage
them. The vehicle's systems can
interfere with the operation of
sound equipment that has been
added. Notice:
The chime signals related
to safety belts, parking brake, and
other functions of the vehicle
operate through the navigation
system. If that equipment is
replaced or additional equipment
is added to the vehicle, the
chimes may not work. Make sure
that replacement or additional
equipment is compatible with the
vehicle before installing it. See
“Accessories and Modifications”
in the vehicle's owner manual.
Playing the Radio
O/n(Power/Volume):
1. Press to turn the audio system on and off.
2. Turn to increase or to decrease the volume.

XM Theftlocked:The XM™
receiver may have previously been
in another vehicle. For security
purposes, XM™ receivers cannot be
swapped between vehicles. If this
message is received after having
your vehicle serviced, check with
your dealer.
XM Radio ID: If tuned to channel 0,
this message will alternate with the
XM™ Radio eight digit radio ID
label. This label is needed to
activate the service.
Unknown: If this message is
received when tuned to channel 0,
there may be a receiver fault.
Consult with your dealer.
Check XM Receiver: If this
message does not clear within a
short period of time, the receiver
may have a fault. Consult with your
dealer.
No Subscription Please Renew:
The XM subscription needs to
be reactivated. Contact XM at
www.xmradio.com or call
1-800-929-2100.Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power
outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere
with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach
about 16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).
Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some
static can occur, especially around
tall buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from coast to
coast in the 48 contiguous United
States, and in Canada. Just as
with FM, tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and
out. In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges,
garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the XM signal for a period of time.

Infotainment System 7-17
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on. This
interference causes an increased
level of static while listening to the
radio. If static is received while
listening to the radio, unplug the
cellular phone and turn it off.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can
withstand most car washes without
being damaged as long as it is
securely attached to the base.
If the mast becomes slightly bent,
straighten it out by hand. If the mast
is badly bent, replace it.Occasionally check to make sure
the antenna is tightened to its base.
If tightening is required, tighten
by hand until fully seated plus
one quarter turn.
Satellite Radio Antenna
The XM Satellite Radio antenna is
located on the roof of the vehicle.
Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear radio
reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, the
performance of the XM system
(if equipped) may be affected if the
sunroof is open.
Audio Players
CD/DVD Player
The player can be used for CD,
MP3, and as a DVD video player.
Read this section for more
information about DVD video.
When playing an audio CD the rear
seat operator can power on the
RSE video screen and use the
remote control to navigate through
the tracks on the CD.
CD Player
While playing a CD, the navigation
system is available.
When you insert a CD, the CD
tab displays. If a DSP setting is
selected for the CD, it activates
each time you play a CD.
If the ignition or radio is turned off
with a CD in the player, it stays in
the player. When the ignition or
radio is turned on, the CD starts
playing where it stopped, if it was
the last selected audio source.

Auxiliary Devices
Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The navigation system has an
auxiliary input jack located on the
right side of the faceplate. This is
not an audio output; do not plug
the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. An external
audio device such as an iPod,
laptop computer, MP3 player, CD
player, or cassette tape player, etc.
can be connected to the auxiliary
input jack for use as another audio
source.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See Defensive
Driving on page 9‑2 for more
information on driver distraction.
