Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (Mid-East) - 2012
Arming the System
To arm the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the
transmitter. The security light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security
light should go off after about
30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light
goes off.
If a locked door or trunk is opened
without using the key in the driver
door key cylinder or the transmitter,
a 10-second pre-alarm will occur.
The horn will chirp and the lights will
flash. If the key is not placed in the
ignition and turned to START or the
door is not unlocked by pressing the
unlock button on the transmitter
during the 10-second pre-alarm, the
alarm will go off. The headlamps will
flash and the horn will sound for
about 30 seconds, then will turn off
to save the battery power.
The theft-deterrent system will not
activate if the doors are locked with
the key or the manual door lock.
It activates only if the power door
lock switch is used while the door is
open, or with the transmitter. You
should also remember that you can
start the vehicle with the correct
ignition key if the alarm has been
set off.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
Lock the vehicle with the door
key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the
transmitter or by using the key
in the driver door cylinder.
Unlocking a door any other way
will set off the alarm.
Turn off the alarm by pressing the
unlock button on the transmitter.
