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