made with the striker. Always close
the liftgate before driving.
If the RKE button is pressed while
power operation is disabled, the turn
signals flash and the liftgate will

Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
it impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm
system.
The LED light, located on
the instrument panel near the
windshield, indicates the status
of the system.
Arming the System
To arm the system,
1. Close all doors, liftgateand hood.
2. Lock the vehicle using the transmitter, or the power door
lock button. The LED on the
instrument panel should come
on and stay on for about
30 seconds.
3. After 30 seconds, the alarm system will arm, and the
LED will begin to slowly flash
indicating the alarm is operating. If a door, the hood, or liftgate is
opened without first unlocking with
the transmitter, the vehicle’s turn
signals will flash and the horn
will sound for about 30 seconds.
The alarm system will then re-arm
to monitor for the next unauthorized
event.
The theft-deterrent alarm system will
not activate if the doors are locked
with the vehicle's key. You can
start the vehicle with a recognized
transmitter in the vehicle if the alarm
has been set off.

The alarm will not stop if you try
to unlock a door any other way.
How to Detect a Tamper

armed.
If the alarm has been activated,
the “Theft Attempted” message will
appear on the DIC. See Key and
Lock Messages on page 5‑36 for
additional information.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency
Statement on page 13‑20 for
information regarding Part 15
of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules and
Industry Canada Standards
RSS-210/220/310.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle
is turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the pushbutton
start is activated to enter the
ACC/ACCESSORY mode or the
ON/RUN/START mode and a valid
transmitter is present in the vehicle.
The security light, located in the
instrument panel cluster, comes on
if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent
system.

Black plate (21,1)Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011
Keys, Doors and Windows 2-21
The system has one or more
keyless entry transmitters that are
matched to an immobilizer control
unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched keyless entry transmitter
will start the vehicle. If the keyless
entry transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and
the security light stays on there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
keyless entry transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another keyless
entry transmitter. Or, you may
try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the
center console. See“No Remote
Detected” underKey and Lock
Messages on page 5‑36. If the ignition modes will not
change with the other transmitter,
your vehicle needs service. If the
ignition does change modes, the
first transmitter may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have
a new keyless entry transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
keyless entry transmitters. Up to
eight keyless entry transmitters
can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters,
see
“Programming Transmitters
to the Vehicle” Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑4.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{WARNING
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.

Recalling RKE Memory Positions
(Memory Remote Recall)
The Memory Remote Recall feature
can recall the driver seat, outside
mirrors, and adjustable pedals,
if available, to previously stored
RKE Memory positions when
entering the vehicle.
Every time the ignition is
placed in OFF, the positions
of the driver seat, outside mirrors,
and adjustable pedals, if available,
are automatically stored to the RKE
transmitter that was used to start
the vehicle. These positions are
called RKE Memory positions and
may be different than the previously
mentioned Button Memory positions
saved to the“1”or“2” buttons. To automatically recall RKE
Memory positions, unlock the driver
door with the RKE transmitter, and
open the driver door. On vehicles
with Keyless Access, opening the
driver door when an RKE transmitter
is present will activate the RKE
Memory recall. If the driver door
is already open, pressing the
RKE transmitter
Kbutton will also
activate the RKE Memory recall.
The driver seat, outside mirrors,
and pedals, if available, will move to
the previously saved RKE Memory
positions.
This feature is turned on or off using
the vehicle personalization menu.
See “Memory Remote Recall”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40 for more information. To stop recall movement, press
one of the memory, power mirror,
or power seat controls, or the
adjustable pedal switch, if available.
If something has blocked the
driver seat and/or the adjustable
pedals, if available, while recalling
a memory position, the recall
may stop. Remove the obstruction;
then press and hold the appropriate
manual control for the memory item
that is not recalling for two seconds.
Try recalling the memory position
again by opening the driver door
and pressing the RKE transmitter
K
button. If the memory position is
still not recalling, see your dealer
for service.
