2007 Cadillac XLR-V Owner's Manual - Page 85

Arming the System Use one of the three following items listed here to arm the system: • Press the lock button on the keyless access transmitter. • Open the door. Lock the door with the power door lock switch. The security light should flash. Remove the keyless access transmitter from the interior of the vehicle and close the door. The security light will stop flashing and stay on. After 30 seconds, the light should turn off. • The vehicle can be programmed to automatically lock the doors and arm the system when you exit the vehicle. See DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 220. Now, if a door or the trunk lid is opened without the keyless access transmitter, the alarm will go off. Your horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go off to save battery power. And, your vehicle will not start without a keyless transmitter present. The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock the driver's door with the power door lock switch after the doors are closed. If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave with the keyless access transmitter, have the passenger lock the vehicle after the doors are closed. This way the alarm will not arm, and your passenger will not set it off. 85
