turn off the alarm by pressing the
unlock button on the transmitter.
The alarm will not stop if you try
to unlock a door any other way.

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

or disarming the theft-deterrent
system.

3-32 Seats and Restraints
{WARNING
Airbags inflate with great force,
faster than the blink of an eye.
Anyone who is up against, or
very close to, any airbag when it
inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily
close to the airbag, as you would
be if you were sitting on the edge
of the seat or leaning forward.
Safety belts help keep you in
position before and during a
crash. Always wear a safety belt,
even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle.
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted side impact airbags
and/or roof-rail airbags.
{WARNING
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be seriously
injured or killed. Airbags plus
lap-shoulder belts offer protection
for adults and older children, but
not for young children and infants.
Neither the vehicle's safety belt
system nor its airbag system
is designed for them. Young
children and infants need the
protection that a child restraint
system can provide. Always
secure children properly in
the vehicle. To read how, see
Older Children on page 3‑47or
Infants and Young Children on
page 3‑49.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument panel cluster,
which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light on page 5‑17
for more information.

Engine Coolant
Temperature Gauge
Metric
English
This gauge measures the
temperature of the vehicle's engine.
If the indicator needle moves into
the shaded area, the engine is
too hot.
If the vehicle has been operating
under normal driving conditions, pull
off the road, stop the vehicle and
turn off the engine as soon as
possible.
Safety Belt Reminders
Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light
There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.
When the engine is started this
light and a chime come on and stay
on for several seconds to remind
drivers to fasten their safety belts.
The light also begins to flash.
This cycle repeats if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle
is moving.
If the driver safety belt is already
buckled, neither the light nor chime
come on.

Black plate (17,1)Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011
Instruments and Controls 5-17
If the Vehicle Information display
is selected, a full page screen
displays at start-up that has the
three seatbelt symbols.
Once the passenger seatbelt is
buckled, the corresponding seat
belt symbol in the DIC turns green.
There are no seat position sensors
in the seat. If a seatbelt is not
initially buckled, the cluster
continues to show the gray
seatbelt icon.
While the vehicle is moving, if a
second row passenger that was
previously buckled becomes
unbuckled, a full screen warning
displays with the corresponding
seat belt indicator flashing red.
A chime may sound.
Acknowledge warning messages by
pressing any of the DIC switches.Airbag Readiness Light
This light shows if there is an
electrical problem. The system
check includes the airbag sensor,
the pretensioners, the airbag
modules, the wiring, and the crash
sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System on
page 3‑30.
The airbag readiness light comes on
and stays on for several seconds
when the vehicle is started.
Then the light goes out.
{WARNING
If the airbag readiness light stays
on after the vehicle is started or
comes on while driving, it means
the airbag system might not be
working properly. The airbags in
the vehicle might not inflate in a
crash, or they could even inflate
without a crash. To help avoid
injury, have the vehicle serviced
right away.
