460_OM_MY09.book Page 54 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM 54 Locks and car alarm Immobilizer The remote control contains an electronic code that is unique to your car. When the remote control is inserted into the ignition switch, this code is checked and the LED double-flashes for 3 seconds. If the code is correct, the car can be started. Each time you remove the remote control from the ignition, the electronic starting interlock is activated, the LED doubleflashes for 3 seconds and the car becomes immobilised. If an incorrect remote control is now inserted into the ignition switch (e.g. the remote control of another car), the immobilizer will remain operative (the LED will not double-flash for 3 seconds) and it will not be possible to start the car. If, when inserted into the ignition switch, there is a problem checking the electronic code of the remote control, the following message will appear on the DIC: Key not accepted. Contact service. Visit an authorised Cadillac workshop to have the problem checked and rectified. Car alarm 3 The car alarm is available with or without a tilt sensor. Car alarms with a tilt sensor also have a separate siren. Car alarms without a tilt sensor use the car’s horn. WARNING Never leave a child or animal in the car. In sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage compartments can climb to 70–80 °C. The car alarm is armed when the car is locked with the remote control. The car alarm will not be armed if you lock the car with the traditional key, see page 49. All the doors, the bonnet and the boot lid are monitored by the alarm. A movement sensor triggers the alarm if movement is detected in the cabin, such as if someone sticks in their arm through a smashed window.

460_OM_MY09.book Page 55 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 10:32 AM Locks and car alarm 55 All the windows should be shut when the alarm is armed. Otherwise, the movement sensor may interpret a passer-by as an attempted break-in. The alarm is armed 11 seconds after remote locking. During the delay period, the LED shines constantly. It will then start to flash once every 3 seconds. The LED is located on the fascia. If a door or the boot lid is open when the car is locked with the remote control, the LED will flash 3 times per second for 11 seconds. Check that the doors, bonnet and boot lid are closed. If the signal persists, contact a workshop to have the problem checked and rectified. We recommend that you contact an authorised Cadillac workshop. Locking the boot lid If you unlock/open the boot lid from outside with button on the remote control, it will be unlocked when closed. Lock it by pressing button on the remote control. If the car has an alarm, it will be armed. To avoid any inconvenience, make sure that anyone using the car is familiar with how the car alarm and the locking system work. If the alarm has been triggered since the car was last locked, the DIC will display: Alarm tripped during last arming period. If the car alarm system malfunctions, the DIC will display: Theft protection failure. Contact service. Arming the car alarm The alarm is armed when all doors, the bonnet and the boot lid are closed and you lock the car with the remote control. What trips the alarm? The alarm will be tripped if: • A door, the bonnet or the boot lid is opened. • The movement sensor registers movement in the cabin. • The tilt sensor registers that the angle of the car has changed (if car alarm has tilt sensor). • Someone tampers with the alarm siren. • Somebody tries to hotwire the car. • The car battery is disconnected. Signals when the alarm is tripped If the alarm is triggered, the following alarm signals will be set off: • All direction indicators flash for 5 minutes. • The horn/siren sounds for 30-second intervals with 10-second breaks (max. 10 cycles). The signals can vary between markets and due to legal and insurance requirements.
