control is off, the transmission is in
R (Reverse), and the front windshield
wiper is performing INT wipes, then
the rear wiper automatically performs
INT wipes.
This feature can be turned on or off.
SeeVehicle Personalization 0138.
The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield, rear window,
and rear mirror camera, if equipped.
See Rear Camera Mirror 034. Check
the fluid level in the reservoir if either
washer is not working. See Washer
Fluid 0377.

when released. See
Rear Camera Mirror
0 34.
Activating the Rear Camera Washer
also cleans the rear window.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Instrument Cluster. The
compass receives its heading and
other information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), and vehicle speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time /
Date" under Settings0203.

Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power output of the
system is capable of charging at a rate
up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. SeeRadio
Frequency Statement 0467.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP, or during Bluetooth
phone calls. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) 0248. The operating temperature is
−20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys, rings,
paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and the charger will
become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
smartphone and the charger,
remove the smartphone and allow
the object to cool before removing
it from the charging pocket, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:
1. Remove all objects from the charging pocket. The system may
not charge if there are any objects
between the smartphone and
charging pocket.
2. With the smartphone screen facing the rear of the vehicle, slowly insert
the smartphone into the charging
pocket until
}appears onVon
the infotainment display. This
indicates that the smartphone is
properly positioned and charging.

If}turns yellow, ensure that the
charging pocket is clear of any
objects and that the smartphone is
capable of wireless charging before
repositioning it.
If a smartphone is inserted into the
pocket and
}does not display,
remove the smartphone from the
pocket, turn it 180 degrees, and
wait three seconds before inserting
the smartphone into the pocket
again.
The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer temperatures,
the speed of charging may be
reduced.
To maximize the charge rate,
ensure the smartphone is fully
seated and centered in the holder
with nothing under it. A thick
smartphone case may prevent the
wireless charger from working,
or may reduce the charging
performance. See your dealer for
additional information. Software Acknowledgements

146 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the
overhead console.
This system can replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to
activate devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and home
automation devices. These
instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other
devices.
Do not use the Universal Remote
system with any garage door opener
that does not have the stop andreverse feature. This includes any
garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read these instructions completely
before programming the Universal
Remote system. It may help to have
another person assist with the
programming process.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future programming.
Erase the programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing
Universal Remote System Buttons”
later in this section.
To program a garage door opener,
park outside directly in line with and
facing the garage door opener receiver.
Clear all people and objects near the
garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter
has a new battery for quicker and
more accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Remote System
For questions or programming help,
see www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515. For calls placed
outside the U.S.A, Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.
Programming involves time-sensitive
actions, and may time out causing the
procedure to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to
3 in) away from the Universal
Remote system buttons with the
indicator light in view. The
hand-held transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of the garage
door opener receiver.
2. Press and release one of the three Universal Remote system buttons
to be programmed. Press and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
Do not release the hand-held
transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from a slow

Cadillac Escalade Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
13690472) - 2021 - CRC - 8/10/21
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 147
to a rapid flash or continuous light.
Then release the hand-held
transmitter button.
Some garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure under“Radio Signals
for Some Gate Operators ”later in
this section.
3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote
system button for five seconds
while watching the indicator light
and garage door activation.
.If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage door
moves when the button is
pressed, then programming is
complete. There is no need to
complete Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light does not
come on or the garage door does
not move, a second button press
may be required. For a second
time, press and hold the newly
programmed button for
five seconds. If the indicator
light is continuously lit, or the
garage door moves,
programming is complete.
.If the indicator light flashes
rapidly and the garage door does
not move, continue with
programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1–3, locate the Learn or Smart button inside
the garage on the garage door
opener receiver. The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button. Step 6 must be
completed within 30 seconds of
pressing this button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained
Universal Remote system button
for two seconds and release. Repeat the
“press/hold/release ”sequence
up to three times to complete the
training process.
The Universal Remote system should
now activate the garage door.
Repeat the process for programming
the two remaining buttons.
Radio Signals for Some Gate
Operators
For questions or programming help,
see www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515. For calls placed
outside the U.S.A, Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.
Some radio-frequency laws and gate
operators require transmitter signals
to time out or quit after several
seconds of transmission. This may not
be long enough for the Universal
Remote system to pick up the signal
during programming.
If the programming did not work,
replace Step 2 under “Programming
the Universal Remote System ”with
the following:
