How to Operate Cadillac Remote Start?

Press the lock button once to unlock the car. Quickly press and hold the button with a rotating arrow for 3-5 seconds without releasing. When you see the turn signals or daytime running lights flash, the remote start is successful.
If you're using a Cadillac remote key fob to start your car remotely, it's quite simple. First, make sure your key fob is within 30 to 100 feet of the vehicle, preferably with a clear line of sight and no walls or obstacles in between. Then press the rocket-shaped start button on the key fob twice – don't just press it once. The engine will start, and you'll get confirmation through either a single flash of the hazard lights or a beep from the horn. After remote start, the engine runs for a default 10 minutes while automatically adjusting cabin temperature – cooling in summer and preheating in winter, which is super convenient. However, to enter the car, you'll need to unlock the doors with your key fob first, otherwise the anti-theft system keeps the steering wheel locked. This feature works for both new and experienced owners, but success depends on having sufficient battery power in the key fob – low battery may cause failure. I've personally used it to preheat my car in sub-zero weather; stepping into a warm cabin while reducing cold-start engine wear really helps prolong engine life. I recommend replacing the key fob battery annually to prevent unexpected failures.
