On page 5 of the Customer Convenience/ Personalization Guide under keyless Start : " Stop • Shift to Park and press the START/STOP button to turn off the engine. Power will be available for 10 minutes to operate the audio system until the driver’s door is opened and to operate the windows and sunroof✦ until any door is opened. Accessory • With the engine off and the brake pedal NOT depressed, press the START/STOP button to place the ignition system in the Accessory position. The yellow indicator on the button will illuminate. • Press the button again to return to the Off position. Note: The battery may drain and the vehicle may not start if the ignition is in the Accessory position for an extended period of time. See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Just changed the battery in my 2013 Cadillac SRX, called two different dealerships beforehand. Both said I shouldn't have any problems doing so. After changing battery, everything was fine, no problems what so ever.

We've got a 2013 SRX and all I did was disconnect the neg cable without the battery saver and now the car will not start.. FOB will open and lock doors but the car display tells me the FOB is unrecognized.... No wonder GM is in financial trouble... This will be my last one...

Changed mine yesterday, removed and replaced with no issues. Only questions is, the new battery from Walmart came with a vent elbow and a vent plug. Anyone use these? I think it is for when the battery is located in the inside the car like in the trunk or under the seat?

Will disconnecting a 2014 SRX battery set off the alarm system? If so, how would I shut it down to replace the battery?

I replaced my battery about two weeks ago. At first the Cue was working with a few little issues I thought were temporary, but now my Cue is totally frozen. Tried the factory reset, but nothing. Any ideas what to do next?

Hey guys i have a 2016 escalade. AAA guy just jumped my bad battery and left the car running while he switched me into a new one. Works like a charm all of my presets and everything are still the same. God speed

Will connecting a trickle charger connected to the terminals keep power to the car when swapping out a battery. It worked on my BMW.
