Theft-Deterrent Feature - Cadillac XLR-V 2006 Owner's Manual

Keeping your mind on the drive is important for safe
driving. For more information, see Defensive Driving
on page 5-2.
Here are some ways in which you can help avoid
distraction while driving.
While your vehicle is parked:
•
Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
•
Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•
Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
adjusting the speakers. Then, when driving
conditions permit, you can tune to your favorite
radio stations using the presets and steering
wheel controls if the vehicle has them.
Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to your
vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB
radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure
that it can be added by checking with your dealer.
Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units. If sound equipment can be added,
it is very important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of your
vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even
damage them. Your vehicle's systems may interfere
with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory
Power (RAP). With RAP, the audio system can be
played even after the ignition is turned off. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-22 for more
information.

Theft-Deterrent Feature

®
THEFTLOCK is designed to discourage theft of
your vehicle's radio. The feature works automatically
by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to a different
vehicle, it will not operate. If the radio is removed
from your vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can
be used to trace the radio back to your vehicle.
®
With THEFTLOCK activated, the radio will not
operate if stolen.
