Cadillac 2009 Automobile User Manual


 
Ignition Positions
The vehicle has an
electronic keyless ignition
with pushbutton start.
To shift out of P (Park), the vehicle must be running or
in ACCESSORY mode and the regular brake pedal
must be applied.
/ (START): Press to start the engine with your foot
on the brake pedal. The shifter must be in P (Park)
or N (Neutral) and the keyless access transmitter
must be in the vehicle.
If the start button does not work, the vehicle may be
near a strong radio antenna signal causing interference
to the keyless access system. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-79 for more information.

off in any gear. If the shifter is in P (Park), RAP will
engage if all doors are closed. RAP will turn off when
a front door is opened. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-27 for more information.
If the engine is off, press this button to turn on the
accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE will display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). Accessory mode
allows use of the audio system and windshield wipers.
Accessory mode must be used if the vehicle must
be towed or in motion when the engine is not running.
After the vehicle has been in accessory mode for
more than 20 minutes, the vehicle will enter RAP or turn
off, depending on if the doors are opened or closed.
