Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
6014443) - 2014 - CRC - 4/3/13
Keys, Doors, and Windows 2-25
See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have
a new key made.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent
system decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to eight keys
can be programmed for the vehicle.
The following procedure is for
programming additional keys only.
To program a new key:
1. Verify that the new key has
1
stamped on it.
2. Insert the current key in the
ignition and start the engine.
If the engine will not start, see
your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn
the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed
and turn it to ON/RUN within
10 seconds of the ignition being
turned to LOCK/OFF in Step 3.
5. The security light will turn
off once the key has been
programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security light
went on due to how quickly the
key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1–4 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation
(Keyless Access)
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the ignition
control knob is turned to LOCK/OFF.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition
control knob is turned and a valid
transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
One or more RKE transmitters
can be matched to the vehicle's
immobilizer control unit. Only a
correctly matched RKE transmitter
will start the vehicle. If the RKE
transmitter is ever damaged, you
may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition control knob off and try
again.
