In a crash, if you or your passenger(s) are not wearing seat belts, injuries can be much worse than if you are wearing seat belts. You can be seriously injured or killed by hitting things inside the vehicle harder or by being ejected from the vehicle. In addition, anyone who is not buckled up can strike other passengers in the vehicle. It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, passengers riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 68 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Warning (Continued) not allow passengers to travel in any area of the vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts. Always wear a seat belt, and check that all passenger(s) are restrained properly too. This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to fasten the seat belts. See Seat Belt Reminders 0 125. Why Seat Belts Work When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops suddenly, you keep going until something stops you. It could be the windscreen, the instrument panel, or the seat belts! When you wear a seat belt, you and the vehicle slow down together. There is more time to stop because you stop over a longer distance and, when worn properly, your strongest bones take the forces from the seat belts. That is why wearing seat belts makes such good sense. Questions and Answers About Seat Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a seat belt? A: You could be — whether you are wearing a seat belt or not. Your chances of being conscious during and after a crash, so you can unbuckle and get out, are much greater if you are belted. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear a seat belt? A: Airbags are supplemental systems only. They work with seat belts — not instead of them. Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants still have to buckle up to get the most protection. Also, in nearly all regions, the law requires wearing seat belts. How to Wear Seat Belts Properly This section is only for people of adult size. There are special things to know about seat belts and children, and there are different rules for smaller children and infants. If a child will be riding in the vehicle, see Older Children 0 86 or Infants and Young Children 0 88. Follow those rules for everyone's protection. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS It is very important for all occupants to buckle up. Statistics show that unbelted people are hurt more often in crashes than those who are wearing seat belts. this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. There are important things to know about wearing a seat belt properly. . Wear the shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash. { Warning . Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. . Always use the correct buckle for your seating position. . Wear the lap part of the belt low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, You can be seriously injured, or even killed, by not wearing your seat belt properly. . Never allow the lap or shoulder belt to become loose or twisted. . Never wear the shoulder belt under both arms or behind your back. . Never route the lap or shoulder belt over an armrest. 69 Three-Point Belt All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt. If you are using a rear seating position with a detachable seat belt and the seat belt is not attached, see Rear Seats 0 64 for instructions on reconnecting the seat belt to the mini-buckle. The following instructions explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly. 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight. To see how, see "Seats" in the Index. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 70 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. Pull up on the latch plate to make sure it is secure. Position the release button on the buckle so that the seat belt could be quickly unbuckled if necessary. 2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted. The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly. If the webbing locks in the catch plate before it reaches the buckle, tilt the catch plate flat to unlock. 4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height adjuster, move it to the height that is right for you. See “Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster” later in this section for instructions on use and important safety information. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt. 71 Before a door is closed, be sure the seat belt is out of the way. If a door is slammed against a seat belt, damage can occur to both the seat belt and the vehicle. Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster The vehicle has a shoulder belt height adjuster for the driver and front outboard passenger seating positions. To unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt should return to its stowed position. Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed position, the retractor may lock and cannot be pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat belt straight out firmly to unlock the webbing, and then release it. If the webbing is still locked in the retractor, see your retailer. Adjust the height so the shoulder portion of the belt is on the shoulder and not falling off it. The belt should be close to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper shoulder belt height adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in a crash. See How to Wear Seat Belts Properly 0 68. Press the release button and move the height adjuster to the desired position. The adjuster can be moved up by pushing the slide/trim up. After the adjuster is set to the desired position, try to move it down without pushing the release button to make sure it has locked into position. Automatic Seat Belt Tightening System The vehicle may have the Automatic Seat Belt Tightening System. Each time the vehicle is started with the front seat belts buckled, the system activates once to tighten the Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 72 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS seat belts when the forward vehicle speed exceeds the threshold for activation. The system also activates during emergency braking and/or sudden driving manoeuvres and releases when driving conditions return to normal. The system turns off whenever Competitive Driving Mode is activated, and will turn back on when Competitive Driving Mode is deactivated. See Competitive Driving Mode 0 206. The system will not activate if the Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control system is not functioning properly. See Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control 0 202. If there is a problem with the Automatic Seat Belt Tightening System, a message displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC). If a system unavailable message displays repeatedly or a service message displays, see your dealer. Other seat belt functions are not affected by the Automatic Seat Belt Tightening System. Seat Belt Pretensioners Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for front outboard occupants. Although the seat belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the seat belt assembly. They can help tighten the seat belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near frontal, or rear crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. Seat belt pretensioners can also help tighten the seat belts in a side crash or a roll-over event. Rear seat belt comfort guides may provide added seat belt comfort for older children who have outgrown booster seats and for some adults. When installed on a shoulder belt, the comfort guide positions the shoulder belt away from the neck and head. Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensioners activate in a crash, the pretensioners and probably other parts of the vehicle's seat belt system will need to be replaced. See Replacing Seat Belt System Parts after a Crash 0 74. Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while entering or exiting the vehicle or at any time while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the seat belt can damage the webbing and hardware. Comfort guides may be available through your retailer for the rear outboard seating positions. If available, instructions are included with the guide. Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear seat belts. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Safety System Check A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy. The best way to protect the foetus is to protect the mother. When a seat belt is worn properly, it is more likely that the foetus will not be hurt in a crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making seat belts effective is wearing them properly. Periodically check the seat belt reminder, seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped), and seat belt anchorages to make sure they are all in working order. Look for any other loose or damaged seat belt system parts that might keep a seat belt system from performing properly. See your dealer to have it repaired. Torn or frayed seat belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, have it replaced immediately. Make sure the seat belt reminder light is working. See Seat Belt Reminders 0 125. Keep seat belts clean and dry. See Seat Belt Care 0 73. Seat Belt Care Keep belts clean and dry. 73 { Warning Do not bleach or dye seat belt webbing. It may severely weaken the webbing. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean and rinse seat belt webbing only with mild soap and lukewarm water. Allow the webbing to dry. Seat belts should be properly cared for and maintained. Seat belt hardware should be kept dry and free of dust or debris. As necessary, exterior hard surfaces and seat belt webbing may be lightly cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure there is not excessive dust or debris in the mechanism. If dust or debris exists in the system please see the dealer. Parts may need to be replaced to ensure proper functionality of the system. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 74 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Replacing Seat Belt System Parts after a Crash { Warning A crash can damage the seat belt system in the vehicle. A damaged seat belt system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash. To help make sure the seat belt systems are working properly after a crash, have them inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. After a minor crash, replacement of seat belts may not be necessary. But the seat belt assemblies that were used during any crash may have been stressed or damaged. See your retailer to have the seat belt assemblies inspected or replaced. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the seat belt system was not being used at the time of the crash. Have the seat belt pretensioners checked if the vehicle has been in a crash, or if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or while you are driving. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126. Airbag System Air-Bag System The vehicle has the following airbags: . A frontal airbag for the driver { Warning .

For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the front outboard passenger. For knee airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the lower part of the instrument panel. For seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the side of the seatback closest to the door. For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the ceiling or trim. Airbags are designed to supplement the protection provided by seat belts. Even though today's airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job. Here are the most important things to know about the airbag system: { Warning You can be severely injured or killed in a crash if you are not wearing your seat belt, even with airbags. Airbags are designed to work with seat belts, not replace them. Also, airbags are not designed to inflate in every crash. In some crashes seat belts are the only restraint. See When Should an Airbag Inflate? 0 77. Wearing your seat belt during a crash helps reduce your chance of hitting things inside the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags are “supplemental restraints” to the seat belts. Everyone in the vehicle should wear a seat belt properly, whether or not there is an airbag for that person. 75 { Warning Because airbags inflate with great force and faster than the blink of an eye, anyone who is up against, or very close to, an airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to any airbag, as you would be if sitting on the edge of the seat or leaning forward. Seat belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear a seat belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. The seat belts and the front outboard passenger airbags are most effective when you are sitting well back and upright in the seat with both feet on the floor. Occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in seating positions with seat-mounted side impact airbags and/or roof-rail airbags. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 76 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS { Warning Where Are the Airbags? Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Always secure children properly in the vehicle. To read how, see Older Children 0 86 or Infants and Young Children 0 88. The driver frontal airbag is in the centre of the steering wheel. There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126. The front outboard passenger frontal airbag is in the passenger side instrument panel. The driver knee airbag is below the steering column. The front outboard passenger knee airbag is below the glove box. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 77 Warning (Continued) put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering.

Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and front outboard passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door. The roof-rail airbags for the driver, front outboard passenger, and second row outboard passengers are in the ceiling above the side windows. Rear Seat Driver Side Shown, Passenger Side Similar The second row seat-mounted side impact airbags are in the sides of the rear seatback closest to the door. { Warning If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear. Do not (Continued) Never secure anything to the roof of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags by routing a rope or tie-down through any door or window opening. If you do, the path of an inflating roof-rail airbag will be blocked. When Should an Airbag Inflate? This vehicle is equipped with airbags. See Air-Bag System 0 74. Airbags are designed to inflate if the impact exceeds the specific airbag system's deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe a crash is likely to be in time Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 78 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS for the airbags to inflate and help restrain the occupants. The vehicle has electronic sensors that help the airbag system determine the severity of the impact. Deployment thresholds can vary with specific vehicle design. Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near frontal crashes to help reduce the potential for severe injuries, mainly to the driver's or front outboard passenger's head and chest. Whether the frontal airbags will or should inflate is not based primarily on how fast the vehicle is travelling. It depends on what is hit, the direction of the impact, and how quickly the vehicle slows down. Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds depending on whether the vehicle hits an object straight on or at an angle, and whether the object is fixed or moving, rigid or deformable, narrow or wide. Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle rollovers, in rear impacts, or in many side impacts. In addition, the vehicle has advanced technology frontal airbags. Advanced technology frontal airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity. Knee airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near frontal impacts. Knee airbags are not designed to inflate during vehicle rollovers, in rear impacts, or in many side impacts. The vehicle also has a seat position sensor that enables the sensing system to monitor the position of the front outboard passenger seat. The passenger seat position sensor and the passenger seat belt buckle provide information that is used to determine if the passenger knee airbag should inflate. Seat-mounted side impact airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Seat-mounted side impact airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal impacts, near frontal impacts, rollovers, or rear impacts. A seat-mounted side impact airbag is designed to inflate on the side of the vehicle that is struck. Roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. In addition, these roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate during a rollover or in a severe frontal impact. Roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts. Both roof-rail airbags will inflate when either side of the vehicle is struck, if the sensing system predicts that the vehicle is about to roll over on its side, or in a severe frontal impact. In any particular crash, no one can say whether an airbag should have inflated simply because of the vehicle damage or repair costs. What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out of the cover. The inflator, the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the airbag module. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS For airbag locations, see Where Are the Airbags? 0 76. How Does an Airbag Restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument panel. In moderate to severe side collisions, even belted occupants can contact the inside of the vehicle. Airbags supplement the protection provided by seat belts by distributing the force of the impact more evenly over the occupant's body. Rollover capable roof-rail airbags are designed to help contain the head and chest of occupants in the outboard seating positions in the first and second rows. The rollover capable roof-rail airbags are designed to help reduce the risk of full or partial ejection in rollover events, although no system can prevent all such ejections. But airbags would not help in many types of collisions, primarily because the occupant's motion is not toward those airbags. See When Should an Airbag Inflate? 0 77. Airbags should never be regarded as anything more than a supplement to seat belts. What Will You See after an Airbag Inflates? After frontal, knee, and seat-mounted side impact airbags inflate, they quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realise the airbags inflated. Roof-rail airbags may still be at least partially inflated for some time after deployment. Some components of the airbag module may be hot for several minutes. For location of the airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? 0 76. The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the 79 driver from seeing out of the windscreen or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicle. { Warning When an airbag inflates, there may be dust in the air. This dust could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone should leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have breathing problems but cannot get out of the vehicle after an airbag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or a door. If you experience breathing problems following an airbag deployment, you should seek medical attention. The vehicle has a feature that may automatically unlock the doors, turn on the interior lamps and hazard warning lights, and shut off the fuel system after the airbags inflate. The feature may also activate, without Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 80 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS airbag inflation, after an event that exceeds a predetermined threshold. After turning the ignition off and then on again, the fuel system will return to normal operation; the doors can be locked, the interior lamps can be turned off, and the hazard warning flashers can be turned off using the controls for those features. If any of these systems are damaged in the crash they may not operate as normal. { Warning A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle. Use caution if you should attempt to restart the engine after a crash has occurred. In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windscreens are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windscreen breakage may also occur from the front outboard passenger airbag. . Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After an airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for the airbag system. If you do not get them, the airbag system will not be there to help protect you in another crash. A new system will include airbag modules and possibly other parts. The service manual for the vehicle covers the need to replace other parts. . The vehicle has a crash sensing and diagnostic module which records information after a crash. See Vehicle Data Recording and Privacy 0 336. . Let only qualified technicians work on the airbag systems. Improper service can mean that an airbag system will not work properly. See your dealer for service. Passenger Sensing System The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator will light on the overhead console when the vehicle is started. The symbol for on and off will be visible during the system check. When the system check is complete, either the symbol for on or off will be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 126. The passenger sensing system turns off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, under certain conditions. No other airbag is affected by the passenger sensing system. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS The passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front outboard passenger seat. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag should be allowed to inflate or not. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in a correct child restraint for their weight and size. Whenever possible, children aged 12 and under should be secured in a rear seating position. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag inflates. { Warning A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger frontal airbag (Continued) Warning (Continued) Warning (Continued) inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a forward-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger frontal airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position. using another vehicle to transport the child when a rear seat is not available. Even if the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger airbag(s), no system is fail-safe. No one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though the airbag(s) are off. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat, even if the airbag is off. If securing a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard passenger seat, always move the seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure child restraints in the rear seat. Consider (Continued) 81 The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag if: . The front outboard passenger seat is unoccupied. . The system determines that an infant is present in a child restraint. . A front outboard passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time. . There is a critical problem with the airbag system or the passenger sensing system. When the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, the off indicator will light and Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 82 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS stay lit as a reminder that the airbags are off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 126. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn on the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front outboard passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbags to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder that the airbags are active. For some children, including children in child restraints, and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, depending upon the person's seating posture and body build. Everyone in the vehicle who has outgrown child restraints should wear a seat belt properly — whether or not there is an airbag for that person. { Warning If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126 for more information, including important safety information. If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag if the system determines that an infant is present in a child restraint. If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle. 3. Remove any additional items from the seat such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers. 4. Reinstall the child restraint following the directions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and refer to Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Front Seat) 0 101 or Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat) 0 99. 5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion. Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens, adjust the head restraint. See Head Restraints 0 54. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS 6. Restart the vehicle. The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbags for a child in a child restraint depending upon the child's size. It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat, even if the on indicator is not lit. If the Off Indicator Is Lit for an Adult-Sized Occupant because that person is not sitting properly in the seat. Use the following steps to allow the system to detect that person and enable the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Remove any additional material from the seat, such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers. Also, remove laptops, or other electronic devices. 3. Place the seatback in the fully upright position. 4. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centred on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended. 5. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for two to three minutes after the on indicator is lit. If a person of adult size is sitting in the front outboard passenger seat, but the off indicator is lit, it could be 83 { Warning If the front outboard passenger airbag is turned off for an adult-sized occupant, the airbag will not be able to inflate and help protect that person in a crash, resulting in an increased risk of serious injury or even death. An adult-sized occupant should not ride in the front outboard passenger seat, if the passenger airbag off indicator is lit. Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Seat belts help keep the passenger in position on the seat during vehicle manoeuvres and braking, which helps the passenger sensing system maintain the passenger airbag status. See “Seat Belts” and “Child Restraints” in the Index for additional information about the importance of proper restraint use. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 84 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS A thick layer of additional material, such as a blanket or cushion, or aftermarket equipment such as seat covers, seat heaters, and seat massagers can affect how well the passenger sensing system operates. We recommend that you not use seat covers or other aftermarket equipment except when approved by GM for your specific vehicle. See Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle 0 85 for more information about modifications that can affect how the system operates. A wet seat can affect the performance of the passenger sensing system. Here is how: . The passenger sensing system may turn off the passenger frontal airbag and passenger knee airbag when liquid is soaked into the seat. If this happens, the off indicator will be lit and the airbag readiness light on the instrument panel will also be lit. . Liquid pooled on the seat that has not soaked in may make it more likely that the passenger sensing system will turn on the passenger frontal airbag and passenger knee airbag while a child restraint or child occupant is on the seat. If the passenger frontal airbag and passenger knee airbag are turned on, the on indicator will be lit. If the passenger seat gets wet, dry the seat immediately. If the airbag readiness light is lit, do not install a child restraint or allow anyone to occupy the seat. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126 for important safety information. The on indicator may be lit if an object, such as a briefcase, handbag, grocery bag, laptop, or other electronic device, is put on an unoccupied seat. If this is not desired, remove the object from the seat. { Warning Stowing articles under the passenger seat or between the passenger seat cushion and backrest may interfere with the proper operation of the passenger sensing system. Servicing the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Airbags affect how the vehicle should be serviced. There are parts of the airbag system in several places around the vehicle. Your dealer and the service manual have information about servicing the vehicle and the airbag system. { Warning For up to 10 seconds after the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected, an airbag can still inflate during improper service. You can be injured if you are close to an airbag when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors. They are probably part of the airbag system. Be sure to follow proper service procedures, and make sure the person performing work for you is qualified to do so. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Adding Equipment to the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle Adding accessories that change the vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front end, or side sheet metal may keep the airbag system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can also be affected by changing any parts of the front seats, seat belts, airbag sensing and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the airbag modules, ceiling or pillar garnish trim, overhead console, front sensors, side impact sensors, or airbag wiring. Your dealer and the service manual have information about the location of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module, and airbag wiring. In addition, the vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position, which includes sensors that are part of the passenger seat. The passenger sensing system may not operate properly if the original seat trim is replaced with non-GM covers, upholstery, or trim; or with GM covers, upholstery, or trim designed for a different vehicle. Any object, such as an aftermarket seat heater or a comfort-enhancing pad or device, installed under or on top of the seat fabric, could also interfere with the operation of the passenger sensing system. This could either prevent proper deployment of the passenger airbag(s) or prevent the passenger sensing system from properly turning off the passenger airbag(s). See Passenger Sensing System 0 80. If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags, see Different Size Tyres and Wheels 0 293 for additional important information. If you have to modify your vehicle because you have a disability and have questions about whether the modifications will affect the vehicle's airbag system, or if you have questions about whether the airbag system will be affected if the vehicle is modified for any other reason, see your dealer. 85 Airbag System Check The airbag system does not need regularly scheduled maintenance or replacement. Make sure the airbag readiness light is working. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126. Caution If an airbag covering is damaged, opened, or broken, the airbag may not work properly. Do not open or break the airbag coverings. If there are any opened or broken airbag coverings, have the airbag covering and/or airbag module replaced. For the location of the airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? 0 76. See your dealer for service. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 86 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Replacing Airbag System Parts after a Crash { Warning A crash can damage the airbag systems in the vehicle. A damaged airbag system may not properly protect you and your passenger(s) in a crash, resulting in serious injury or even death. To help make sure the airbag systems are working properly after a crash, have them inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. If an airbag inflates, you will need to replace airbag system parts. See your dealer for service. If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes on when you are driving, the airbag system may not work properly. Have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 126. { Warning Child Restraints Safety procedures must be followed at all times when disposing of the vehicle or vehicle parts. Disposal should be performed only by an authorised service centre, to help protect the environment and your health. Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle's seat belts. The manufacturer instructions that come with the booster seat state the weight and height limitations for that booster. Use a booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until the child passes the fit test below: Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS . . Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the knees bend at the seat edge? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. Fasten the lap-shoulder belt. Does the shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes, continue. If not, try using the rear seat belt comfort guide, if available. See “Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides” under Three-Point Belt 0 69. If a comfort guide is not available, or if the shoulder belt still does not rest on the shoulder, then return to the booster seat. . Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. . Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for the length of the trip? If yes, continue. If no, return to the booster seat. Q: What is the proper way to wear seat belts? A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top of the thighs. This applies belt force to the child's pelvic bones in a crash. It should never be worn over the abdomen, which could cause severe or even fatal internal injuries in a crash. 87 Warning (Continued) be crushed together and seriously injured. A seat belt must be used by only one person at a time. Also see “Rear Seat Belt Comfort Guides” under Three-Point Belt 0 69. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position. In a crash, children who are not buckled up can strike other people who are buckled up, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older children need to use seat belts properly. { Warning Never allow more than one child to wear the same seat belt. The seat belt cannot properly spread the impact forces. In a crash, they can (Continued) { Warning Never allow a child to wear the seat belt with the shoulder belt behind their back. A child can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly. In a (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 88 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Warning (Continued) crash, the child would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. The child could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury. The child might also slide under the lap belt. The belt force would then be applied right on the abdomen. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. Infants and Young Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance travelled nor the age and size of the traveller changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. { Warning Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the seat belts. Every time infants and young children ride in vehicles, they should have the protection provided by appropriate child restraints. Neither the vehicle's seat belt system nor its airbag system is designed for them. Children who are not restrained properly can strike other people, or can be thrown out of the vehicle. { Warning Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 110 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms. An infant or child should be secured in an appropriate restraint. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS For each type of child restraint, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. The restraint manufacturer's instructions that come with the restraint state the weight and height limitations for a particular child restraint. In addition, there are many kinds of restraints available for children with special needs. { Warning Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front outboard seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to secure a forward-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If you must secure a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard seat, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. 89 Child restraints are devices used to restrain, seat, or position children in the vehicle and are sometimes called child seats or car seats. There are three basic types of child restraints: . Forward-facing child restraints . Rearward-facing child restraints . Belt-positioning booster seats The proper child restraint for your child depends on their size, weight, and age, and also on whether the child restraint is compatible with the vehicle in which it will be used. { Warning To reduce the risk of neck and head injury in a crash, infants and toddlers should be secured in a rear-facing child restraint until age two, or until they reach the maximum height and weight limits of their child restraint. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 90 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS { Warning A young child's hipbones are still so small that the vehicle's regular seat belt may not remain low on the hipbones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fatal injuries. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries during a crash, young children should always be secured in appropriate child restraints. Child Restraint Systems Forward-Facing Child Restraint Rear-Facing Infant Restraint A rear-facing child restraint provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to keep the infant positioned in the restraint. A forward-facing child restraint provides restraint for the child's body with the harness. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the Vehicle { Warning Booster Seats A belt-positioning booster seat is used for children who have outgrown their forward-facing child restraint. Boosters are designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's seat belt system until the child is large enough for the vehicle seat belts to fit properly without a booster seat. See the seat belt fit test in Older Children 0 86. A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. Secure the child restraint properly in the vehicle using the vehicle's seat belt or ISOFIX system, following the instructions that came with that child restraint and the instructions in this manual. To help reduce the chance of injury, the child restraint must be secured in the vehicle. Child restraint systems must be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt, or by the ISOFIX system. See ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems 0 99 for more information. Children can be endangered in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. 91 When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer. Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in the vehicle - even when no child is in it.

A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing child restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint 0 92. In addition, the vehicle has a passenger sensing system which is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag under certain conditions. See Passenger Sensing System 0 80 and Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 126 for more information, including important safety information. { Danger 101 Danger (Continued) if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child. This is especially the case if rear-facing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger seat. NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur. { Danger When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated; (Continued) If the child restraint uses a top tether, see ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems 0 99 for top tether anchor locations. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 102 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. 3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's seat belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure the child restraint in this position, follow the instructions that came with the child restraint and the following instructions: 4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. 1. Move the seat rearward as far back as it will go and raise the seat upward as far as it will go, before securing the forward-facing child restraint. When the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, the off indicator on the passenger airbag status indicator should light and stay lit when you start the vehicle. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 126. 2. Put the child restraint on the seat. Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed. Position the release button on the buckle, away from the child restraint system, so that the seat belt could be quickly unfastened if necessary. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS If the airbags are off, the off indicator in the passenger airbag status indicator will come on and stay on when the vehicle is started.

If the top tether is attached to a top tether anchor, disconnect it. 103 Pedestrian Protection System Your vehicle is equipped with a pedestrian protection system which is designed to lift the bonnet when a pedestrian is detected during a frontal impact within the approximate speed range. When the vehicle is involved in a frontal impact with an object or a pedestrian, sensors in the front bumper determine the force applied by the object to the front bumper. When the frontal impact speed is approximately between 22 km/h (14 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph), the pedestrian protection system lifts the bonnet to help reduce pedestrian head injuries. Lifting the bonnet creates more clearance between the bonnet and the hard components in the engine compartment. In addition, the front bumper of the vehicle was designed to help reduce the injury to a pedestrian's legs. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 104 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS { Warning After the bonnet has lifted, the bonnet hinge and latch area may be hot. Do not touch the pedestrian protection system components. The pedestrian protection system is designed to lift the bonnet only once. The pedestrian protection system may not activate under the following conditions: . The pedestrian impact is outside the range of the sensors located on the front bumper. . The sensors on the front bumper are damaged. . The path of the lifting bonnet is blocked by snow or ice. Clear any ice or snow from the bonnet before driving. . Winter fronts, grille covers, or other aftermarket equipment is attached to the bumper. . Vehicle speed at impact is less than 22 km/h (14 mph) or greater than 50 km/h (31 mph). . The vehicle impacts a small object. For other frontal impacts or vehicle speeds, the airbags may also deploy. See Air-Bag System 0 74. After the pedestrian protection system has deployed, the bonnet will remain in the raised position and the driver's view may be reduced by the raised bonnet. Caution After the pedestrian protection system has deployed, see your dealer for service. The bonnet assembly including hinges, latch, and actuators must be replaced. If towing service is not available, the bonnet may be repositioned temporarily. See “Temporary Bonnet Repair” following. Do not drive the vehicle when the bonnet is raised. The SERVICE PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM message will appear when there is a problem with the pedestrian protection system. See your dealer for service immediately. Operating the vehicle with the bonnet raised can obstruct your view and may cause a collision resulting in damage to the vehicle, damage to other property, personal injury, or even death. During a frontal impact involving a pedestrian, the vehicle may record information about the condition of the vehicle and how it was operated. See Vehicle Data Recording and Privacy 0 336. { Warning Temporary Bonnet Repair If the bonnet is raised, the bonnet may be repositioned temporarily if a towing service is not available. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 SEATS AND RESTRAINTS { Warning Before beginning the procedure, read all the instructions.

If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. If it is light outside when the vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight delay before the automatic headlight system turns off the headlights. During that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control 0 154. When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps will turn off. If equipped, the light sensor is on top of the instrument panel or on the windscreen near the rearview mirror. The automatic headlamp system turns off when the exterior lamp control is turned to O or the ignition is off. Lights On with Wipers If the windscreen wipers are activated in daylight with the engine on, and the exterior lamp control is in AUTO, the headlights, parking lights, and other exterior lamps come on. The transition time for the lamps coming on varies based on wiper speed. When the wipers are not operating, these lamps turn off. Move the exterior lamp control to O or ; to disable this feature. Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) On vehicles with the AFL system, the headlamps pivot horizontally to provide greater road illumination while turning. To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp control on the indicator lever to the AUTO position. Moving the control out of the AUTO position will deactivate the system. AFL will operate when the vehicle speed is greater than 3 km/h (2 mph). AFL will not operate when the transmission is in R (Reverse). AFL is not immediately operable after starting the vehicle; Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 LIGHTING driving a short distance is required to calibrate the AFL.

Some exterior lamps and most of the interior lights turn on briefly at night when K is pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 28. After about 30 seconds the exterior lamps turn off, then the remaining interior lights dim to off. Entry lighting can be disabled manually by turning the ignition on or to ACC/ACCESSORY, or by pressing Q on the RKE transmitter. This feature can be turned on or off. See "Vehicle Locator Lights" under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. Exit Lighting Some exterior lamps and interior lights come on at night, or in areas with limited lighting, when the driver door is opened and the turn signal lever is pulled and released after the ignition is turned off. The dome lamp comes on after the ignition is turned 155 off. The exterior lamps and interior light remain on for a set amount of time, then automatically turn off. The exterior lamps turn off immediately by turning the exterior lamp control off. This feature can be changed. See Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. Battery Load Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM), which estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Centre (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 156 LIGHTING The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, main beams, fog lamps, rear window demister, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator's output and the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed. If a battery message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 136. Battery Power Protection The battery saver feature is designed to protect the vehicle's battery. If some interior lamps are left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp off after some time. Exterior Lighting Battery Saver The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been manually left on. This protects against draining the battery. To restart the 10-minute timer, turn the exterior lamp control to the O position and then back to the ; or 2 position. To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in ACC/ACCESSORY. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM Infotainment System Introduction Infotainment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 157 Performance Data Recorder (PDR) Performance Data Recorder (PDR) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 157 Introduction Infotainment See the infotainment manual for information on the radio, audio players, phone, navigation system, and voice or speech recognition.

Maintenance Passenger Compartment Air Filter The filter reduces dust, pollen, and other airborne irritants from outside air that is pulled into the vehicle. The filter should be replaced as part of routine scheduled maintenance. See Maintenance Replacement Parts 0 323. See your retailer regarding replacement of the filter. Service All vehicles have a label underbonnet that identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle. The refrigerant system should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians. The air conditioning evaporator should never be repaired or replaced by one from a salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced by a new evaporator to ensure proper and safe operation. During service, all refrigerants should be reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and may also create unsafe conditions based on inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other health-based concerns. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Driving and Operating Parking over Things That Burn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 194 Extended Parking . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 194 Engine Exhaust Driving Information Distracted Driving . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stop or park the vehicle to tend to children. . Keep pets in an appropriate carrier or restraint. . Avoid stressful conversations while driving, whether with a passenger or on a mobile phone. Distracted Driving Distraction comes in many forms and can take your focus from the task of driving. Exercise good judgement and do not let other activities divert your attention away from the road. Many local governments have enacted laws regarding driver distraction. Become familiar with the local laws in your area. To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the steering wheel, and focus your attention on driving. . Do not use a phone in demanding driving situations. Use a hands-free method to place or receive necessary phone calls. . Watch the road. Do not read, take notes, or look up information on phones or other electronic devices. . Designate a front seat passenger to handle potential distractions. { Warning Taking your eyes off the road too long or too often could cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Focus your attention on driving. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Refer to the infotainment section for more information on using that system and the navigation system, if equipped, including pairing and using a mobile phone. Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “always expect the unexpected.” The first step in driving defensively is to wear the seat belt. See Seat Belts 0 67. . Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do and be ready. . Allow enough following distance between you and the driver in front of you. . Focus on the task of driving. Control of a Vehicle Braking, steering, and accelerating are important factors in helping to control a vehicle while driving. Braking Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time. Average driver reaction time is about three-quarters of a second. In that time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of distance in an emergency. Helpful braking tips to keep in mind include: . Keep enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. . Avoid needless heavy braking. . Keep pace with traffic. If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. Doing so could make the pedal harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. 175 Once the power assist is used up, it can take longer to stop and the brake pedal will be harder to push. Steering Variable Effort Steering The vehicle has a steering system that varies the amount of effort required to steer the vehicle in relation to the speed of the vehicle. The amount of steering effort required is less at slower speeds to make the vehicle more manoeuvrable and easier to park. At faster speeds, the steering effort increases to provide a sport-like feel to the steering. This provides maximum control and stability. Electric Power Steering The vehicle has electric power steering. It does not have power steering fluid. Regular maintenance is not required. If power steering assist is lost due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered, but may require increased effort. See your dealer if there is a problem. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 176 DRIVING AND OPERATING If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel and is held against that position for an extended period of time, power steering assist may be reduced. If the steering assist is used for an extended period of time while the vehicle is not moving, power assist may be reduced. Normal use of the power steering assist should return when the system cools down. See your dealer if there is a problem. Steering in Emergencies . There are some situations when steering around a problem may be more effective than braking. . Holding both sides of the steering wheel allows you to turn 180 degrees without removing a hand. . Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows steering while braking. Off-Road Recovery 1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle so that it straddles the edge of the pavement. 2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right front tyre contacts the pavement edge. 3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway. Loss of Control Bend Tips Skidding . Take bends at a reasonable speed. . Reduce speed before entering a bend. . Maintain a reasonable steady speed through the bend. . Wait until the vehicle is out of the bend before accelerating gently into the straight. There are three types of skids that correspond to the vehicle's three control systems: . Braking Skid - wheels are not rolling. . Steering or Cornering Skid - too much speed or steering in a bend causes tyres to slip and lose cornering force. . Acceleration Skid - too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. Follow these tips: Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. If the vehicle starts to slide, follow these suggestions: . Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and steer the way you want the vehicle to go. The vehicle may straighten out. Be ready for a second skid if it occurs. . Slow down and adjust your driving according to weather conditions. Stopping distance can be longer and vehicle control can be affected when traction is reduced by water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material on the road. Learn to recognise warning clues - such as enough water, ice, or packed snow on the road to make a mirrored surface and slow down when you have any doubt. . Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could cause the tyres to slide. Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid only the braking skid. Track Events and Competitive Driving { Danger High-performance features are intended for use only on closed tracks by experienced and qualified drivers and should not be used on public roads. High-speed driving, aggressive cornering, hard braking, and other high-performance driving can be dangerous. Improper driver inputs for the conditions may result in loss of control of the vehicle, which could injure or kill you or others. Always drive safely. Competitive driving may affect the vehicle warranty. See the warranty manual before using the vehicle for competitive driving. 177 Engine Oil Caution Low oil levels can damage the engine. If using the vehicle for competitive driving, the engine may use more oil than it would with normal use. Check the oil level often during competitive driving. 2.0L L4 Turbo Engine (LTG) Engine . Keep the level at or near 1 L (1 qt) above the upper mark that shows the proper operating range on the engine oil dipstick. . Use a 600 W fan in addition to the production option V03. . RON 104 premium fuel must be used with colder spark plugs. See your dealer. 6.2L Supercharged (LT4) Engine Change the engine oil to 0W-40 or 5W-40 that meets the dexos2 specification. If this oil is not available, the following oils can be used as an alternative: Valvoline Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 178 DRIVING AND OPERATING SYNPOWER MST 5W-40, Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40. See Capacities and Specifications 0 326. This requires premium fuel, and comes standard with a 10 L (10 qt) sump, air/oil separator, integrated oil cooler, and other powertrain and powertrain cooling components in preparation for track use. Check the oil level often during track events and competitive driving and keep the oil level at or near the upper mark. Automatic Transmission Fluid Have the gearbox fluid set to the track specific oil level prior to track usage. Gearbox fluid should be changed after every 15 hours of track usage. Any transmission level set or change should be performed at your retailer. Brake Fluid . Before racing, replace existing brake fluid with a qualified racing brake fluid from a sealed container. Brake fluid with a dry boiling point >279 °C (534 °F) is qualified. If racing brake fluid is . used, replace it with GM approved brake fluid before driving on public roads. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. Performance/racing brake pads are required prior to racing or closed track driving. Vehicles with option code JE2 have performance brake pads. Do not use silicone-based fluids. Base Vehicles Only: Performance/ racing brake pads are required prior to racing or closed track driving. Vehicles with option code Y4Q have performance brake pads. If racing brake fluid is in the vehicle and the age of the brake fluid is over a month old or unknown, replace the brake fluid before racing/closed track driving. Caution Failure to change the brake fluid and transfer case fluid after any performance or race track driving could result in damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Have the brake fluid and transfer case fluid changed by your dealer after any performance or race track driving. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. Brake Burnishing For vehicles equipped with front Brembo brake systems: New brake pads must be burnished before racing or other competitive driving. Caution Performing the brake burnish procedure on a base brake system can result in brake damage. Caution The new vehicle break-in period should be completed before performing the brake burnish procedure, otherwise damage may occur to the powertrain/engine. See New Vehicle Run-In 0 188. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Caution Brake pedal fade will occur during any track burnish procedure and can cause brake pedal travel and force to increase. This could extend stopping distance until the brakes are fully burnished. When this procedure is performed as instructed, it will not damage the brakes. The brake pads will smoke and produce an odour. The braking force and pedal travel may increase. After the procedure, the brake pads may appear white at the rotor contact. Perform this procedure only on dry pavement, in a safe manner, and in compliance with all local and state ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle operation. Brake Burnish Procedure (V-Series and Y4Q only) 1. Apply the brakes 25 times starting at 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph) while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake application. Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applying the brakes. This first step may be skipped if there are more than 320 km (200 mi) on the brake pads. 2. Repeatedly apply the brakes from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 25 km/h (15 mph) while decelerating at 0.8 g. This is a hard brake application, without activating the Antilock Brake System (ABS). Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi) between stops. Repeat until the brake pedal travel starts to increase. Depending on conditions, this should take no longer than 25 brake applications. 3. Cool down: Drive at 100 km/h (60 mph) for approximately 15 km (10 mi) without using the brakes. 4. Apply the brakes 25 times from 100 km/h (60 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph) while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake 179 application. Drive for at least 1 km (0.6 mi) between applications. Axle Fluid Axles must have 885 km (500 mi) before being used in track driving. The front, if equipped with AWD, and rear axle fluid temperatures may be higher than when driving in severe conditions. Drain and refill with new fluid after the first racing or competitive driving event, and then after every 24 hours of racing or competitive driving. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. Caution During a first time track or racing event, high axle temperatures can occur. Damage could be caused to the axle and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not drive as long or as fast the first time the vehicle is driven on the track or raced. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 180 DRIVING AND OPERATING . The rear axle lubricant should be replaced with new lubricant. . . Additional cooling capacity is also required for continuous competitive driving. V-Series Vehicles Equipped with the Original Equipment Tyres Track Battery If equipped, this is a lightweight, low power battery for track use only. Remove after each event. Only use this battery when temperatures are above freezing. Store in a cool, dry location. Charge periodically to keep the state of charge from getting too low. A battery tender can be used. When installing or removing the track battery, steps must be followed to calibrate the electronic throttle control. See Battery 0 263. Wheel Alignment (V-Series Only) Wheel alignment suggested specs for track use: . Front: -2.0 deg camber, 0.2 deg total toe Rear: -1.7 deg camber, 0.2 deg total toe Follow the requirements and recommendations for tyre inflation pressures while driving on various types of tracks/courses. This helps to achieve a well-balanced vehicle and enhance tyre traction performance. Use good judgement to determine the appropriate tyre inflation pressure and speeds for the track/course configuration and environmental conditions. Contact the tyre manufacturer if further assistance is needed. To maximise tyre life, drive 800 km (500 mi) prior to racetrack driving or complete the minimum track running that will increase the tyre pressures by 35 kPa (5 psi). After this, immediately let the tyres cool to cold pressures. Tyre Inflation Pressure Guidelines Tyre inflation pressures affect vehicle handling and tyre life, and should be adjusted for various types of tracks/ courses. Inspect the tyres prior to every track/ course session. Track/course driving will reduce the tyre tread life. Driving and Operating { Warning Operating the vehicle at high speeds can be dangerous. Improper tyre inflation pressure can put additional strain on the tyres and can cause a sudden failure. Make sure the tyres are in excellent condition, and use the correct cold tyre inflation pressure for the vehicle load and track/course. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING { Warning Inflate tyres to a minimum of 300 kPa (44 psi) when cold. Tracks/courses put high loads on tyres operating at high speed, which can lead to tyre failure if not inflated properly. Always limit vehicle cargo to the driver plus one passenger with no additional cargo. Do not reduce tyre inflation pressure when hot. { Warning Inflate tyres to a minimum of 260 kPa (38 psi) when cold. Track/course loads wear tires both on the tread and internal to the tire. When driven in track/course conditions, even if tread is not worn down to the treadwear indicator, tires must be replaced after the equivalent of two tanks of fuel or approximately 160 km (100 mi). Limit vehicle speed to below 230 km/h (143 mph) until 290 kPa (42 psi) is reached. Tyre Inflation Pressure for Tracks with Sustained High-Speed Operation on Banked Turns (e.g., Daytona International Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or similar) Tyre Inflation Pressure for Tracks with Combined High-Speed and High-Load Corners (e.g., Nurburgring Nordschliefe, Spa Francorchamps, or similar) For continuous track use, hot tyre inflation pressure may be adjusted to a minimum of 290 kPa (42 psi). Tyre Inflation Pressure for Road/ Street Courses (e.g., Virginia International Raceway, Road Atlanta, or similar) Inflate tyres to a minimum of 240 kPa (35 psi) cold. 181 For continuous road/street course use, hot tyre inflation pressure may be adjusted to a minimum of 270 kPa (39 psi). Return the tyres to the recommended cold tyre inflation pressure when high-speed driving has ended. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184 and Tyre Pressure 0 283. Driving on Wet Roads Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate. Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep-standing or flowing water. { Warning Wet brakes can cause crashes. They might not work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle. (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 182 DRIVING AND OPERATING Warning (Continued) After driving through a large puddle of water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake pedal until the brakes work normally. Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces. Driving through flowing water could cause the vehicle to be carried away. If this happens, you and other vehicle occupants could drown. Do not ignore police warnings and be very cautious about trying to drive through flowing water. Aquaplaning Aquaplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under the vehicle's tyres so they actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When the vehicle is aquaplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. There is no hard and fast rule about aquaplaning. The best advice is to slow down when the road is wet. Other Rainy Weather Tips { Warning Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: . Allow extra following distance. . Overtake with caution. . Keep windscreen wiping equipment in good condition. . Keep the windscreen washer fluid reservoir filled. . Have good tyres with proper tread depth. See Tyres 0 280. . Turn off cruise control. Using the brakes to slow the vehicle on a long downhill slope can cause brake overheating, can reduce brake performance, and could result in a loss of braking. Shift the transmission to a lower gear to let the engine assist the brakes on a steep downhill slope. { Warning Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with the ignition off is dangerous. This can cause overheating of the brakes and loss of steering assist. Always have the engine running and the vehicle in gear. Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on flat or rolling terrain. Tips include: . Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. . Check all fluid levels and brakes, tyres, cooling system, and transmission. . Shift to a lower gear when going down steep or long hills. . Drive at speeds that keep the vehicle in its own lane. Do not swing wide or cross the centre line. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING . Be alert on top of hills; something could be in your lane (e.g., stalled car, accident). . Pay attention to special road signs (e.g., falling rocks area, winding roads, long gradients, overtaking or no-overtaking zones) and take appropriate action. . . See Driver Mode Control 0 203. . Allow greater following distance and watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can occur on otherwise clear roads in shaded areas. The surface of a curve or an overpass can remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. Avoid sudden steering manoeuvres and braking while on ice. Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Snow or ice between the tyres and the road creates less traction or grip, so drive carefully. Wet ice can occur at about 0 °C (32 °F) when freezing rain begins to fall. Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain until roads can be treated. For slippery road driving: . Accelerate gently. Accelerating too quickly causes the wheels to spin and makes the surface under the tyres slick. . Turn on Traction Control. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 202. Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves vehicle stability during hard stops, but the brakes should be applied sooner than when on dry pavement. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) 0 199. . Turn off cruise control. Blizzard Conditions Stop the vehicle in a safe place and signal for help. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby. Get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: . Turn on the hazard warning lights. . Tie a red cloth to an outside mirror. 183 { Warning Snow can trap engine exhaust under the vehicle. This may cause exhaust gases to get inside. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If the vehicle is stuck in snow: . Clear snow from the base of the vehicle, especially any blocking the exhaust pipe. . Open a window about 5 cm (2 in) on the vehicle side that is away from the wind, to bring in fresh air. . Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel. . Adjust the climate control system to circulate the air inside the vehicle and set the (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 184 DRIVING AND OPERATING Warning (Continued) fan speed to the highest setting. See “Climate Control Systems.” For more information about CO, see Engine Exhaust 0 195. To save fuel, run the engine for short periods to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and partially close the window. Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes time for help to arrive, when running the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than the idle speed. This keeps the battery charged to restart the vehicle and to signal for help with the headlamps. Do this as little as possible, to save fuel. If the Vehicle Is Stuck Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. If stuck too severely for the traction system to free the vehicle, turn the traction system off and use the rocking method. See Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control 0 202. { Warning If the vehicle's tyres spin at high speed, they can explode, and you or others could be injured. The vehicle can overheat, causing an engine compartment fire or other damage. Spin the wheels as little as possible and avoid going above 56 km/h (35 mph). Rocking the Vehicle to Get it Out Turn the steering wheel left and right to clear the area around the front wheels. Turn off any traction system. Shift back and forth between R (Reverse) and a low forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible. To prevent transmission wear, wait until the wheels stop spinning before shifting gears. Release the accelerator pedal while shifting, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in the forward and reverse directions causes a rocking motion that could free the vehicle. If that does not get the vehicle out after a few tries, it might need to be towed out. If the vehicle does need to be towed out, see Towing the Vehicle 0 306. Vehicle Load Limits It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all non-factory-installed options. Two labels on the vehicle may show how much weight it may properly carry, the Tyre and Loading Information label and the Certification label. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING { Warning Tyre and Loading Information Label Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This can cause systems to break and change the way the vehicle handles. This could cause loss of control and a crash. Overloading can also reduce stopping distance, damage the tyres, and shorten the life of the vehicle. 185 A vehicle-specific Tyre and Loading Information label is attached to the vehicle's centre pillar (B-pillar). The Tyre and Loading Information label shows the size of the original tyres and the recommended cold tyre inflation pressures. For more information on tyres and inflation, see Tyres 0 280 and Tyre Pressure 0 283. There is also important loading information on the Certification label. It may show the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for the front and rear axle. See “Certification Label” later in this section. Label Example Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 186 DRIVING AND OPERATING “Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit– 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.

New Vehicle Run-In . . . . . Put things in the cargo area of the vehicle. In the cargo area, put them as far forward as possible. Try to spread the weight evenly. Never stack heavier things, like suitcases, inside the vehicle so that some of them are above the tops of the seats. Follow these recommended guidelines during the first 2,400 km (1,500 mi) of driving this vehicle. Parts have a running-in period and performance will be better in the long run. For the first 2.400 km (1.500 mi): . Avoid full throttle starts and abrupt stops. . Do not exceed 4,000 engine rpm. . Avoid driving at any one constant speed, fast or slow. . Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle when the engine speed will exceed 4000 rpm. Do not leave an unsecured child restraint in the vehicle. . Secure loose items in the vehicle. Do not let the engine labour. Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. . Do not participate in track events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during this running-in period. Do not leave a seat folded down unless needed. . Check engine oil with every refuelling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption may be higher than normal during the first 2,400 km (1,500 mi). . To run in new tyres, drive at moderate speeds and avoid hard cornering for the first 300 km (200 mi). New tyres do not have maximum traction and may tend to slip. . New brake linings also need a running-in period. Avoid braking hard during the first 300 km (200 mi). This is recommended every time brake linings are replaced. Composite Materials This vehicle may be equipped with parts containing carbon fibre, sheet-moulding compound, or other composite materials. Dealer-installed accessories may also contain composite materials. These parts and accessories may include the splitter or rocker extensions. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING { Warning Ignition Positions Exposed edges of parts containing carbon fiber and other composite materials can be sharp.

The lock is activated when the vehicle is switched to OFF and the driver door is opened. A sound may be heard as the lock actuates or releases. The steering column lock may not release with the wheels turned off centre. If this Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 190 DRIVING AND OPERATING happens, the vehicle may not start. Move the steering wheel from left to right while attempting to start the vehicle. If this does not work, the vehicle needs service. Do not turn the engine off when the vehicle is moving. This will cause a loss of power assist in the brake and steering systems and disable the airbags. If the vehicle must be shut off in an emergency: 1. Brake using a firm and steady pressure. Do not pump the brakes repeatedly. This may deplete power assist, requiring increased brake pedal force. 2. Shift the vehicle to N (Neutral). This can be done while the vehicle is moving. After shifting to N (Neutral), firmly apply the brakes and steer the vehicle to a safe location. 3. Come to a complete stop, shift to P (Park) and turn the ignition to OFF. On vehicles with an automatic transmission, the gear lever must be in P (Park) to turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. 4. Apply the parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake 0 200. { Warning Turning off the vehicle while moving may cause loss of power assistance in the brake and steering systems and disable the airbags. While driving, only shut the vehicle off in an emergency. If the vehicle cannot be pulled over, and must be shut off while driving, press and hold the ENGINE START/ STOP button for longer than two seconds, or press twice in five seconds. ACC/ACCESSORY (Amber Indicator Light) : This mode allows you to use some electrical accessories when the engine is off. With the ignition off, pressing the button once without the brake pedal applied will place the ignition system in ACC/ACCESSORY. The ignition will switch from ACC/ ACCESSORY to OFF after five minutes to prevent battery rundown. ON/RUN/START (Green Indicator Light) : This mode is for driving and starting.

Operate the engine and transmission gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all moving parts. Stop/Start System { Warning Exiting the vehicle without first shifting into P (Park) may cause the vehicle to move. You or others may be injured. Because the vehicle may have an auto engine Stop/Start feature, the vehicle's engine might seem to be shut off; however, once the brake pedal is released, the engine will start up again. The engine may restart even while the brake is applied. Shift to P (Park) and turn the ignition off before exiting the vehicle. If equipped with the 2.0L L4, the vehicle has a fuel saving stop/start system to shut off the engine to help conserve fuel. Auto Stop/Start When the brakes are applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the engine may turn off. When stopped, the tachometer may display Auto Stop, or the Auto Stop light may come on in the instrument cluster. See Rev Counter 0 123 and Auto Stop Mode (Uplevel Cluster) 0 134. When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine may restart. Auto Stop may be deactivated if: . A minimum vehicle speed is not reached. . The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature. . The outside temperature is not in the required operating range, typically below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F). . The gear lever is in any gear other than D (Drive). . The battery has been recently disconnected. . The battery charge is low. .

Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle (Continued) 193 Warning (Continued) will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into Park 0 193. If you are towing a trailer, see Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips 0 237. If you have to leave the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle must be in P (Park) and the parking brake set. After shifting into P (Park), try to move the shift lever out without first pushing the button on the shift lever. If you can, the shift lever was not fully locked into P (Park). Torque Lock Torque lock is when the weight of the vehicle puts too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission. This happens when parking on a hill and shifting the transmission into P (Park) is not done properly and then it is difficult to shift out of P (Park). To prevent torque lock, set the parking Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 194 DRIVING AND OPERATING brake and then shift into P (Park). To find out how, see “Shifting Into Park” listed previously. If torque lock does occur, the vehicle may need to be pushed uphill by another vehicle to relieve the parking pawl pressure, so you can shift out of P (Park). Shifting out of Park This vehicle is equipped with an electronic shift lock release system. The shift lock release is designed to prevent movement of the gear lever out of P (Park), unless the ignition is on and the brake pedal is applied. The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of an uncharged or low voltage (less than 9 volt) battery. If the vehicle has an uncharged battery or a battery with low voltage, try charging or jump starting the battery. See Jump Starting 0 303 for more information. To shift out of P (Park): 1. Apply the brake pedal. 2. Release the parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake 0 200. 3. Press the shift lever button. 4. Move the shift lever. If unable to shift out of P (Park): 1. Fully release the shift lever button. 2. While holding down the brake pedal, press the shift lever button again. 3. Move the shift lever. Extended Parking It is best not to park with the vehicle running. If the vehicle is left running, be sure it will not move and there is adequate ventilation. See Shifting Into Park 0 193 and Engine Exhaust 0 195. If the vehicle is left parked and running with the RKE transmitter outside the vehicle, it will turn off after one hour. If the shift lever will not move from P (Park), consult your dealer or a professional towing service. If the vehicle is left parked and running with the RKE transmitter inside the vehicle, it will turn off after two hours. Parking over Things That Burn The vehicle could turn off sooner if it is parked on a hill, due to lack of available fuel. { Warning Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn. The timer will reset if the vehicle is taken out of P (Park) while it is running. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Engine Exhaust { Warning Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO), which cannot be seen or smelled. Exposure to CO can cause unconsciousness and even death. Exhaust may enter the vehicle if: . The vehicle idles in areas with poor ventilation (parking garages, tunnels, deep snow that may block underbody airflow or exhaust pipes). . The exhaust smells or sounds strange or different. . The exhaust system leaks due to corrosion or damage. . The vehicle exhaust system has been modified, damaged, or improperly repaired. (Continued) Warning (Continued) . There are holes or openings in the vehicle body from damage or aftermarket modifications that are not completely sealed. If unusual fumes are detected or if it is suspected that exhaust is coming into the vehicle: . Drive it only with the windows completely down. . Have the vehicle repaired immediately. Never park the vehicle with the engine running in an enclosed area such as a garage or a building that has no fresh air ventilation. 195 Running the Vehicle While Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. If the vehicle is left with the engine running, follow the proper steps to be sure the vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park 0 193 and Engine Exhaust 0 195. If parking on a hill and pulling a trailer, see Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips 0 237. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 196 DRIVING AND OPERATING Automatic Transmission { Warning It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly applied. The vehicle can roll. There are several different positions for the shift lever. P : This position locks the drive wheels. Use P (Park) when starting the engine because the vehicle cannot move easily. Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into Park 0 193. If you are pulling a trailer, see Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips 0 237. Make sure the shift lever is fully in P (Park) before starting the engine. The vehicle has an electronic shift lock release system. Fully apply the regular brakes first and then press the shift lever button before shifting from P (Park) when the ignition is on. If you cannot shift out of P (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into P (Park) as you maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into another gear. See Shifting out of Park 0 194. Caution Shifting to R (Reverse) while the vehicle is moving forward could damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Shift to R (Reverse) only after the vehicle is stopped. R : Use this gear to reverse. At low vehicle speeds, R (Reverse) can be used to rock the vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice, or sand without damaging the transmission. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 184. N : In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral) only. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING { Warning Caution Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Do not shift into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed. A transmission hot message may display if the automatic gearbox fluid is too hot. Driving under this condition can damage the vehicle. Stop and idle the engine to cool the automatic gearbox fluid. This message clears when the gearbox fluid has cooled sufficiently. Caution Shifting out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engine running at high speed may damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Be sure the engine is not running at high speed when shifting the vehicle. D : This position is for normal driving. If more power is needed for overtaking, press the accelerator pedal down. Downshifting the transmission in slippery road conditions could result in skidding. See “Skidding” under Loss of Control 0 176. M : This mode can be entered with the shift lever in the D (Drive) position by pressing the M (Manual Mode) button on the top of the shift lever. M (Manual Mode) allows the driver to select gears appropriate for current driving conditions. M (Manual 197 Mode) can be exited with a second press of the M (Manual Mode) button. See Manual Mode 0 198. Caution Spinning the tyres or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transmission. The repair will not be covered by the vehicle warranty. If the vehicle is stuck, do not spin the tyres. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. While in Sport or Track Mode, the vehicle monitors driving behavior, and automatically enables Performance Shift Features when spirited driving is detected. These features maintain lower transmission gears to increase available engine braking and improve acceleration response. The vehicle will exit these features and return to Sport or Track Mode normal operation after a short period when no spirited driving is detected. See Driver Mode Control 0 203. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 198 DRIVING AND OPERATING Manual Mode Tap Shift Caution Driving with the engine at a high rpm without upshifting while using Tap Shift, could damage the vehicle. Always upshift when necessary while using Tap Shift. To enter Permanent Tap Shift Mode: 1. With the gear lever in D (Drive), press the M (Manual Mode) button on the top of the gear lever. While in Tap Shift Mode, the M of the PRNDM section of the instrument cluster will become highlighted, and the current gear is indicated. 2. Tap the left control to downshift and the right control to upshift. To shift to the lowest available gear, press and hold the left control. 3. To exit, press the M (Manual Mode) button a second time. Vehicles with Tap Shift have controls on the back of the steering wheel to manually shift the automatic transmission. With the shift lever in D (Drive) and not in Permanent Tap Shift Mode, the tap shift controls will activate a temporary tap manual shift mode, allowing the transmission to be manually shifted. Automatic shifts return after no manual shifts have been done for seven to 10 seconds. The Temporary Tap Shift Mode can also be deactivated by holding the right upshift control briefly. While using Tap Shift, the vehicle will have firmer, quicker shifting. You can use this for sport driving or when climbing or descending hills, to stay in gear longer or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine revolutions per minute (rpm). The transmission will not automatically shift to the next lower gear if the engine rpm is too high or to the next higher gear when the maximum engine rpm is reached. If shifting is prevented for any reason, a SHIFT DENIED message will be displayed in the instrument cluster. When accelerating the vehicle from a stop in snowy and icy conditions, it is suggested to shift into second gear. A higher gear allows the vehicle to gain more traction on slippery surfaces. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Drive Systems Brakes All-Wheel Drive Antilock Brake System (ABS) Vehicles with this feature always send engine power to all four wheels. It is fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed for road conditions. This vehicle has an Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the vehicle begins to drive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or clicking noise may be heard while this test is going on, and it may even be noticed that the brake pedal moves a little. This is normal. If there is a problem with ABS, this warning light stays on. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light 0 130. 199 If driving safely on a wet road and it becomes necessary to slam on the brakes and continue braking to avoid a sudden obstacle, a computer senses the wheels are slowing down. If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer will separately work the brakes at each wheel. ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as required, faster than any driver could. This can help you steer around the obstacle while braking hard. As the brakes are applied, the computer keeps receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly. Remember: ABS does not change the time needed to get a foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, there will not be enough time to apply the brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even with ABS. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 200 DRIVING AND OPERATING Using ABS Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let ABS work. You may hear the ABS pump or motor operating and feel the brake pedal pulsate. This is normal. Braking in Emergencies ABS allows you to steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the very best braking. Electric Parking Brake The vehicle has an Electric Parking Brake (EPB). The EPB can always be activated, even if the ignition is off. To prevent draining the battery, avoid repeated cycles of the EPB system when the engine is not running. The system has a Y Electric Parking Brake light, and a 8 Service Parking Brake light. See Electric Parking Brake Light 0 130 and Service Electric Parking Brake Light 0 130. Before leaving the vehicle, check for the Y light to ensure that the parking brake is applied. EPB Apply To apply the EPB: 1. Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop. 2. Lift up the EPB switch momentarily. The Y light will flash and then stay on once the EPB is fully applied. If the Y light flashes continuously, then the EPB is only partially applied or there is a problem with the EPB. A DIC message will display. Release the EPB and try to apply it again. If the light does not come on, or keeps flashing, have the vehicle serviced. Do not drive the vehicle if the Y light is flashing. See your dealer. See Electric Parking Brake Light 0 130. If the 8 light is on, press the EPB switch and hold it. Continue to hold the switch until the Y light remains on. If the 8 light remains on, see your retailer. If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is moving, the vehicle will decelerate as long as the switch is pressed. If the switch is pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop, the EPB will remain applied. The vehicle may automatically apply the EPB in some situations when the vehicle is not moving. This is normal, and is done to periodically check the correct operation of the EPB system. If the EPB fails to apply, block the rear wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING EPB Release Automatic EPB Release To release the EPB: The EPB will automatically release if the vehicle is running, placed into gear and an attempt is made to drive away. Avoid rapid acceleration when the EPB is applied, to preserve parking brake lining life. 1. Turn the ignition on or to ACC/ ACCESSORY. 2. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 3. Press the EPB switch momentarily. The EPB is released when the light is off. Y If the 8 light is on, release the EPB by pressing and holding the EPB switch. Continue to hold the switch until the Y light is off. If either light stays on after release is attempted, see your dealer. Caution Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving. Brake Assist This vehicle has a brake assist feature designed to assist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle speed in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the stability system hydraulic brake control module to supplement the power brake system under conditions where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the brake pedal in an attempt to quickly stop or slow down the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control module increases brake pressure at each corner of the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal pulsation or pedal movement during this time is normal and the driver should continue to apply the brake pedal as the driving situation dictates. The brake assist feature will 201 automatically disengage when the brake pedal is released or brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased. Hill Start Assist (HSA) Hill Start Assist (HSA) will activate when the vehicle is stopped on a moderate to steep grade to help prevent it from rolling in the unintended direction. After the brake pedal has been released and before the accelerator pedal has been pressed, HSA uses braking pressure to hold the vehicle stationary. If HSA is holding the vehicle, a DIC message displays. The vehicle will roll if in a drive gear and facing downhill, or in R (Reverse) and facing uphill. Once HSA is active it will hold the vehicle, unless the driver door is opened or the driver seat belt is unbuckled prior to releasing the brake pedal. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 202 DRIVING AND OPERATING Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control If cruise control is being used and TCS or StabiliTrak begins to limit wheel spin, cruise control will disengage. Cruise control may be turned back on when road conditions allow. The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) and StabiliTrak, an electronic stability control system. These systems help limit wheel slip and assist the driver in maintaining control, especially on slippery road conditions. Both systems come on automatically when the vehicle is started and begins to move. The systems may be heard or felt while they are operating or while performing diagnostic checks. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with the vehicle. TCS activates if it senses that any of the drive wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduces engine power to limit wheel spin. It is recommended to leave both systems on for normal driving conditions, but It may be necessary to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 184 and "Turning the Systems Off and On" later in this section. Ride Control Systems StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a difference between the intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually travelling. StabiliTrak selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to help steer the vehicle in the intended direction. The indicator light for both systems is in the instrument cluster. This light will: . Flash when TCS is limiting wheel spin. . Flash when StabiliTrak is activated. . Turn on and stay on when either system is not working. If either system fails to turn on or to activate, a message may display in the Driver Information Centre (DIC), and d comes on and stays on to indicate that the system is inactive and is not assisting the driver in maintaining control. The vehicle is safe to drive, but driving should be adjusted accordingly. If d comes on and stays on: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 seconds. 3. Start the engine. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Drive the vehicle. if d comes on and stays on, the vehicle may need more time to diagnose the problem.

Launch Control (V-Series Only) A Launch Control feature is available, within Competitive Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management (V-Series), to allow the driver to achieve high levels of vehicle acceleration in a straight line. Launch Control is a form of traction control that manages tyre spin while launching the vehicle. This feature is intended for use during closed course Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING The Launch Control feature will initially limit engine speed as the driver rapidly applies the accelerator pedal to wide open throttle. Allow the engine rpm to stabilise. A smooth, quick release of the brake pedal, while maintaining the fully pressed accelerator pedal, will manage wheel slip. After the vehicle is launched, the system continues in Competitive Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management (V-Series). Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and Launch Control are systems designed for a closed course race track and not intended for use on public roads. The systems are not intended to compensate for lack of driver experience or familiarity with the race track. Limited-Slip Differential (V-Series Only) If equipped, the Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) is automatically activated. eLSD actively monitors vehicle sensors and driver inputs to determine the amount of change for the conditions. With eLSD, the vehicle has: . Enhanced high-speed control. . Improved traction through corners, allowing more acceleration. . More precise steering. . Increased vehicle agility. . Integration with StabiliTrak. For vehicles with eLSD, driven under severe conditions, the rear axle fluid should be changed. See Competitive Driving Mode 0 206 and Scheduled Maintenance 0 319. 209 Cruise Control { Warning Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. Do not use cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tyre traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). If the StabiliTrak® system begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise control, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 202. If a collision alert occurs when Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 210 DRIVING AND OPERATING cruise control is activated, cruise control is disengaged. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 226. When road conditions allow the cruise control to be safely used, cruise control can be turned back on.

Shift the transmission to N (Neutral). . Press J. Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed is erased from memory if J is pressed or if the ignition is turned off. Adaptive Cruise Control If equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it allows the driver to select the cruise control set speed and following gap. Read this entire section before using this system. The following gap is the following time between your vehicle and a vehicle detected directly ahead in your path moving in the same direction. If no vehicle is detected in your path, ACC works like regular cruise control. ACC uses camera and radar sensors. See Declaration of Conformity 0 334. If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can apply acceleration or limited, moderate braking to maintain the selected following gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake. If ACC is controlling your vehicle speed when the Traction Control System (TCS) or electronic stability control system activates, the ACC may automatically disengage. See Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control 0 202. When road conditions allow ACC to be safely used, the ACC can be turned back on. ACC will not engage if the TCS or electronic stability control system is disabled. { Warning ACC has limited braking ability and may not have time to slow the vehicle down enough to avoid a collision with another vehicle you are following. This can occur when vehicles suddenly slow or stop ahead, or enter your lane. Also see “Alerting the Driver” in this section. Complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

Subsequent presses cycle the gap button through three settings: Far, Medium, or Near. The gap setting will be maintained until it is changed. Since each gap setting corresponds to a following time (Far, Medium, or Near), the following distance will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the further back your vehicle will follow a vehicle detected ahead. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the following gap. The range of selectable gaps may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. Changing the gap setting automatically changes the alert timing sensitivity (Far, Medium, or Near) for the Forward Collision Alert (FCA) feature. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 226. Alerting the Driver See Defensive Driving 0 175. Approaching and Following a Vehicle Without Head-Up Display The vehicle ahead symbol is in the instrument cluster and HUD display, if equipped. With Head-Up Display If ACC is engaged, driver action may be required when ACC cannot apply sufficient braking because of approaching a vehicle too rapidly. When this condition occurs, a series of red lights or the collision alert symbol on the HUD, if equipped, will flash on the windscreen. Either eight beeps will sound from the front, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. See “Collision/ Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. The vehicle ahead symbol only displays when a vehicle is detected in your vehicle's path moving in the same direction. If this symbol is not displaying, ACC will not respond to or brake to vehicles ahead. ACC automatically slows the vehicle down and adjusts vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front at the selected follow gap. The vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front of you, but will not exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking, if necessary. When Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING braking is active, the brake lamps will come on. The automatic braking may feel or sound different than if the brakes were applied manually. This is normal. Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects ACC Automatically Disengages ACC may automatically disengage and the driver will need to manually apply the brakes to slow the vehicle if: . The sensors are blocked. . { Warning ACC may not detect and react to stopped or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For example, the system may not brake for a vehicle it has never detected moving. This can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may not stop and could cause a crash. Use caution when using ACC. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes. The Traction Control System (TCS) or electronic stability control system has activated or been disabled. . The radar falsely reports blockage when driving in a desert or remote area with no other vehicles or roadside objects. A DIC message may display to indicate that ACC is temporarily unavailable. . There is a fault in the system. The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC is no longer active. Notification to Resume ACC ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a stop behind that vehicle. If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle ahead symbol will flash as a reminder to check 217 traffic before proceeding. In addition, the left and right sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times, or three beeps will sound. See “Alert Type” and “Go Notifier” in “Collision/ Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. When the vehicle ahead drives away, press +RES or the accelerator pedal to resume ACC. If stopped for more than two minutes or if the driver door is opened and the driver seat belt is unbuckled, the ACC automatically applies the Electric Parking Brake to hold the vehicle.

To change the volume of the warning chime, see “Comfort and Convenience” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. When the gear is changed into R (Reverse), the RVC displays an image of the area behind the vehicle on the infotainment display. The previous screen displays when the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) after a short delay. To return to the previous screen sooner, press any button on the infotainment system, shift into P (Park), or reach a vehicle speed of approximately 12 km/h (8 mph). If equipped with the Safety Alert Seat, the driver seat cushion may provide a vibrating pulse alert instead of beeping. To change this, see “Collision/Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. Assistance Systems for Parking or Reversing If equipped, the Rear Vision Camera (RVC), Rear Parking Assist (RPA), Front Parking Assist (FPA), Surround Vision, Front Vision Camera, Curb View Camera, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Automatic Parking Assist (APA) may help the driver park or avoid objects. Always check around the vehicle when parking or backing. 221 1. View Displayed by the Camera 2. Corners of the Rear Bumper Displayed images may be farther or closer than they appear. The area displayed is limited and objects that are close to either corner of the bumper or under the bumper do not display. A warning triangle may display to show that Rear Parking Assist (RPA) has detected an object. This triangle changes from amber to red and increases in size the closer the object. Surround Vision (CTS Only) 1. View Displayed by the Camera If equipped, Surround Vision displays an image of the area surrounding the vehicle, along with the front or rear camera views on the infotainment Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 222 DRIVING AND OPERATING display.

The Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING front views display after shifting from R (Reverse) to a forward gear, or by pressing CAMERA in the centre console, and when the vehicle is moving forward slower than 8 km/h (5 mph). If equipped, the front camera images also display when the Parking Assist system detects an object within 60 cm (24 in). The front cameras are on both sides of the front fascia. { Warning The camera(s) do not display children, pedestrians, bicyclists, crossing traffic, animals, or any other object outside of the cameras' field of view, below the bumper, or under the vehicle. Shown distances may be different from actual distances. Do not drive or park the vehicle using only these camera(s). Always check behind and around the vehicle before driving. Failure to use proper care may result in injury, death, or vehicle damage. Parking Assist With RPA, and if equipped with FPA, as the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) the sensors on the bumpers may detect objects up to 2.5 m (8 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front of the vehicle within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level. These detection distances may be shorter during warmer or humid weather. Blocked sensors will not detect objects and can also cause false detections. Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in freezing temperatures. { Warning The Parking Assist system does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects located below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. It is not available at speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). To prevent injury, death or vehicle (Continued) 223 Warning (Continued) damage, even with Parking Assist, always check the area around the vehicle and check all mirrors before moving forward or reversing. The instrument cluster may have a parking assist display with bars that show “distance to object” and object location information for the Parking Assist system. As the object gets closer, more bars light up and the bars change colour from yellow to amber to red. When an object is first detected in the rear, one beep will be heard from the rear, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse two times. When an Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 224 DRIVING AND OPERATING object is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the vehicle rear, or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front), five beeps will sound from the front or rear depending where the object is detected, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. Beeps for FPA are higher pitched than for RPA. Turning the Features On or Off Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) Press X on the center stack to turn on or off the Front and Rear Parking Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert system at the same time. The indicator light next to the button comes on when the features are on and turns off when the features have been disabled. If equipped, RCTA shows a red warning triangle with a left or right pointing arrow on the infotainment display to warn of traffic coming from the left or right. This system detects objects coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or right-hand side of the vehicle. When an object is detected, either three beeps sound from the left or right or three Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the left or right side, depending on the direction of the detected vehicle. Use caution while reversing when towing a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that extend out from the back of the vehicle do not move further back when a trailer is towed. Turn off parking assist when towing a trailer. To turn the rear parking assist symbols on or off, see “Rear Camera” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. RCTA can also be turned on or off through vehicle personalisation. See “Collision/Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. Automatic Parking Assist (APA) If equipped, APA searches for and steers the vehicle into parallel and perpendicular parking spots. When using APA, you must still change gears, and control the brakes and accelerator. A display and audible beeps help to guide parking maneuvers. { Warning APA does not apply the brakes. APA may not detect objects in the parking space, objects that are soft or narrow, objects high off the ground such as flat-bed trucks, or objects below ground level such as large potholes. Always verify that the parking space is appropriate for parking a vehicle. APA does not respond to changes in the parking space, such as movement of an adjacent vehicle, or a person or object entering the parking space. APA does not detect or avoid traffic that is behind or alongside of the (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Warning (Continued) vehicle. Always be prepared to stop the vehicle during the parking manoeuvre. Press O on the centre console to enable the system to search for a parking space that is large enough and within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the vehicle. The vehicle speed must be below 30 km/h (18 mph). The system cannot: . Detect whether it is a legal parking space. . Park exactly lined up with the vehicle next to it if the spot is approached at an angle or if the parking space is angled. . Park exactly centred in a spot that is marked too large. . Always detect short curbs. When enabled, APA searches for parallel parking spaces to the right of the vehicle. To search for a parking space to the left, turn on the left indicator or, if available, change the 225 side selection in the infotainment display. To switch the parking mode between parallel and perpendicular, press and hold O during the search process or, if available, change the parking mode in the infotainment display. After completely passing a large enough space, an audible beep occurs and a red stop symbol is displayed. If the vehicle is in R (Reverse), but does not steer into the expected space, this may be because the system is manoeuvring the vehicle into a previously detected space. The APA system does not need service. APA will instruct the vehicle to stop once a large enough space is found. Follow the displayed instructions. When instructed to drive in reverse, shift to R (Reverse) to engage automatic steering. The steering wheel will briefly vibrate as a reminder to remove hands from the steering wheel. Check surroundings and continue braking or accelerating as needed, and be prepared to stop to avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects. If the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), APA is automatically disengaged and automatic steering will turn off. A progress arrow displays the status of the parking maneuver. Depending on the space size, additional manoeuvres may be required, and there will be additional Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 226 DRIVING AND OPERATING instructions. When changing gears, allow the automatic steering to complete before continuing the parking manoeuvre. Upon successful completion of a manoeuvre, APA will beep and display a PARKING COMPLETE message. Place the vehicle in P (Park). APA may automatically disengage if: . The steering wheel is used by the driver. . The maximum allowed speed is exceeded. . There is a failure with the APA system. . Electronic stability control or antilock brakes are activated. . A high priority vehicle message is displayed in the DIC. To cancel APA, press O again. When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The APA system may require a short period of driving along bends to calibrate. Assistance Systems for Driving If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change Alert (LCA), and/or Forward Automatic Braking (FAB) can help to avoid a crash or reduce crash damage. Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System If equipped, the FCA system may help to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. When approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a flashing red alert on the windscreen and rapidly beeps or pulses the Safety Alert Seat. FCA also lights an amber visual alert if following another vehicle much too closely. FCA detects vehicles within a distance of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and operates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect vehicles to distances of approximately 110 m (360 ft) and operates at all speeds. See Adaptive Cruise Control 0 212. { Warning FCA is a warning system and does not apply the brakes. When approaching a slower-moving or stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly, or when following a vehicle too closely, FCA may not provide a warning with enough time to help avoid a crash. It also may not provide any warning at all. FCA does not warn of pedestrians, animals, signs, crash barriers, bridges, construction barrels, or other objects. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes. See Defensive Driving 0 175. FCA can be disabled with either the FCA steering wheel control or, if equipped, through vehicle personalisation. See “Collision/ Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Detecting the Vehicle Ahead FCA warnings will not occur unless the FCA system detects a vehicle ahead. When a vehicle is detected, the vehicle ahead indicator will display green. Vehicles may not be detected on bends, motorway exit ramps, or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a vehicle ahead is partially blocked by pedestrians or other objects. FCA will not detect another vehicle ahead until it is completely in the driving lane. { Warning FCA does not provide a warning to help avoid a crash, unless it detects a vehicle. FCA may not detect a vehicle ahead if the FCA sensor is blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, or if (Continued) 227 Warning (Continued) the windscreen is damaged. It may also not detect a vehicle on winding or hilly roads, or in conditions that can limit visibility such as fog, rain, or snow, or if the headlamps or windscreen are not cleaned or in proper condition. Keep the windscreen, headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in good repair. Collision Alert With Head-Up Display Without Head-Up Display When your vehicle approaches another detected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA display will flash on the windscreen. Also, eight high-pitched beeps will sound from the front, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this Collision Alert occurs, the brake system may prepare for driver braking to occur more rapidly which can cause a brief, mild deceleration. Continue to apply the brake pedal as needed. Cruise control may be disengaged when the Collision Alert occurs. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 228 DRIVING AND OPERATING Tailgating Alert The vehicle ahead indicator will display amber when you are following a detected vehicle ahead much too closely. Selecting the Alert Timing The Collision Alert control is on the steering wheel. Press [ to set the FCA timing to Far, Medium, Near, or on some vehicles, Off. The first button press shows the current setting on the DIC. Additional button presses will change this setting. The chosen setting will remain until it is changed and will affect the timing of both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating Alert features. The timing of both alerts will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will occur. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the alert timing. The range of selectable alert timing may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA timing setting automatically changes the ACC following gap setting (Far, Medium, or Near). Following Distance Indicator The following distance to a moving vehicle ahead in your path is indicated in following time in seconds on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 136. The minimum following time is 0.5 seconds away. If there is no vehicle detected ahead, or the vehicle ahead is out of sensor range, dashes will be displayed. Unnecessary Alerts FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes, objects that are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are normal operation and the vehicle does not need service. Cleaning the System If the FCA system does not seem to operate properly, this may correct the issue: . Clean the outside of the windscreen in front of the rearview mirror. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING . Clean the entire front of the vehicle. { Warning . Clean the headlights. FAB is an emergency crash preparation feature and is not designed to avoid crashes. Do not rely on FAB to brake the vehicle. FAB will not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to detected vehicles. Forward Automatic Braking (FAB) If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it also has FAB, which includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA). When the system detects a vehicle ahead in your path that is travelling in the same direction that you may be about to crash into, it can provide a boost to braking or automatically brake the vehicle. This can help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear. Depending on the situation, the vehicle may automatically brake moderately or hard. This forward automatic braking can only occur if a vehicle is detected. This is shown by the FCA vehicle ahead indicator being lit. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 226. The system works when driving in a forward gear above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect vehicles up to approximately 60 m (197 ft). FAB may not: . Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or hilly roads. . Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles with a trailer, tractors, muddy vehicles, etc. . Detect a vehicle when weather limits visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow. . Detect a vehicle ahead if it is partially blocked by pedestrians or other objects. Complete attention is always required while driving, and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes and/or steer the vehicle to avoid crashes. 229 FAB may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this happens, FAB may engage the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a stop. To release automatic braking, release the EPB or firmly press the accelerator pedal. { Warning FAB may automatically brake the vehicle suddenly in situations where it is unexpected and undesired. It could respond to a turning vehicle ahead, guardrails, signs, and other non-moving objects. To override FAB, firmly press the accelerator pedal, if it is safe to do so. Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA) IBA may activate when the brake pedal is applied quickly by providing a boost to braking based on the speed of approach and distance to a vehicle ahead. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 230 DRIVING AND OPERATING Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal and the brake pedal should continue to be applied as needed. IBA will automatically disengage only when the brake pedal is released. { Warning IBA may increase vehicle braking in situations when it may not be necessary. You could block the flow of traffic. If this occurs, take your foot off the brake pedal and then apply the brakes as needed. FAB and IBA can be disabled through vehicle personalisation. See “Collision/ Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. { Warning Using FAB or IBA while towing a trailer could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and crash. Turn the system to Off when towing a trailer. Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) If equipped, the SBZA system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with avoiding crashes that occur with moving vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot) areas. When the vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or right side mirror display will light up if a moving vehicle is detected in that blind zone. If the indicator is activated and a vehicle is also detected on the same side, the display will flash as an extra warning not to change lanes. Since this system is part of the Lane Change Alert (LCA) system, read the entire LCA section before using this feature. Lane Change Alert (LCA) If equipped, the LCA system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with avoiding lane change crashes that occur with moving vehicles in the side blind zone (or spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The LCA warning display will light up in the corresponding outside side mirror and will flash if the indicator is on. { Warning LCA does not alert the driver to vehicles outside of the system detection zones, pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. It may not provide alerts when changing lanes under all driving conditions. Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in injury, death, or vehicle damage. Before making a lane change, always check mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the indicators. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING 1. SBZA Detection Zone 2. LCA Detection Zone When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly LCA Detection Zones The LCA sensor covers a zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of the zone is approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning area starts at approximately the middle of the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft). Drivers are also warned of vehicles rapidly approaching this area up to approximately 25 m (82 ft) behind the vehicle. How the System Works The LCA symbol lights up in the side mirrors when the system detects a moving vehicle in the next lane over that is in the side blind zone or rapidly approaching from behind. This indicates it may be unsafe to change lanes. Before making a lane change, check the LCA display, check mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the indicators. 231 Left Side Mirror Display Right Side Mirror Display When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror LCA displays will briefly come on to indicate the system is operating. When the vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or right side mirror display will light up if a moving vehicle is detected in the next lane over in that blind zone or rapidly approaching that zone. If the indicator is activated in the same direction of a detected vehicle, this display will flash as an extra warning not to change lanes. LCA can be disabled through vehicle personalisation. See “Collision/ Detection Systems” under Vehicle Personalisation 0 143. If LCA is disabled by the driver, the LCA mirror displays will not light up. The LCA system requires some driving for the system to calibrate to maximum performance. This calibration may occur more quickly if the vehicle is driven on a straight motorway with traffic and roadside objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers). During a trip, the LCA system is not operational until the vehicle first reaches a speed of 24 km/h (15 mph). LCA displays may not come on when passing a vehicle quickly, for a stopped vehicle, or when towing a trailer. The LCA detection zones that extend back from the side of the vehicle do not move further back when a trailer is towed. Use caution while changing lanes when towing a trailer. LCA may alert to objects attached to the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle, or object extending out to either side of the vehicle. Attached objects may also interfere with the detection of vehicles. This is normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 232 DRIVING AND OPERATING LCA may not always alert the driver to vehicles in the next lane over, especially in wet conditions or when driving on sharp curves. The system does not need to be serviced. The system may light up due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other non-moving objects. This is normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service. LCA may not operate when the LCA sensors in the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For cleaning instructions, see “Washing the Vehicle” under Exterior Care 0 309. If the DIC still displays the system unavailable message after cleaning both sides of the vehicle toward the rear corners of the vehicle, see your dealer. If the LCA displays do not light up when moving vehicles are in the blind zone or rapidly approaching that zone and the system is clean, the system may need service. Take the vehicle to your dealer. Declaration of Conformity See Declaration of Conformity 0 334. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) If equipped, LDW may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane departures. It may provide a warning if the vehicle is crossing a detected lane marking without using a indicator in the lane departure direction. Since this system is part of the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) system, read the entire LKA section before using this feature. Lane Keep Assist (LKA) If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane departures. It may assist by gently turning the steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a indicator in that direction. It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system alert as the lane marking is crossed. The LKA system will not assist or provide an LDW alert if it detects that you are actively steering. Override LKA by turning the steering wheel. LKA uses a camera to detect lane markings between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph). { Warning The LKA system does not continuously steer the vehicle. It may not keep the vehicle in the lane or give a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a lane marking is detected. The LKA and LDW systems may not: . Provide an alert or enough steering assist to avoid a lane departure or crash. . Detect lane markings under poor weather or visibility conditions. This can occur if the windscreen or headlights are blocked by dirt, snow, or ice, if they are not in (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Warning (Continued) proper condition, or if the sun shines directly into the camera. . Detect road edges. . Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads. If LKA only detects lane markings on one side of the road, it will only assist or provide an LDW alert when approaching the lane on the side where it has detected a lane marking. Even with LKA and LDW, you must steer the vehicle. Always keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position within the lane, or vehicle damage, injury or death could occur. Always keep the windscreen, headlamps and camera sensors clean and in good repair. Do not use LKA in bad weather conditions. { Warning Using LKA while towing a trailer or on slippery roads could cause loss of control of the vehicle and a crash. Turn the system off. How the System Works The LKA camera sensor is on the windscreen ahead of the rear-view mirror. To turn LKA on and off, press on the centre console. A When on, A is green if LKA is available to assist and provide LDW alerts. It may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and display A as amber if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a indicator in that direction. It may also provide an LDW alert by flashing A amber as the lane marking is crossed. Additionally, there may be three beeps, or the driver seat 233 may pulse three times, on the right or left, depending on the lane departure direction. Take Steering The LKA system does not continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active driver steering, an alert, chime, or DIC message may be provided. Move the steering wheel to dismiss. When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The system performance may be affected by: . Close vehicles ahead. . Sudden lighting changes, such as when driving through tunnels. . Banked roads. . Roads with poor lane markings, such as two-lane roads. If the LKA system is not functioning properly when lane markings are clearly visible, cleaning the windscreen may help. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 234 DRIVING AND OPERATING A camera blocked message may display if the camera is blocked. Cleaning the outside of the windscreen behind the rearview mirror may correct the issue. Some driver assistance systems may have reduced performance or not work at all. An LKA or LDW unavailable message may display if the systems are temporarily unavailable. This message could be due to a blocked camera. The LKA system does not need service. Clean the outside of the windscreen behind the rearview mirror. LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts may occur due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, temporary or construction lane markings, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation; the vehicle does not need service. Turn LKA off if these conditions continue. Fuel Use the recommended fuel for proper vehicle maintenance. For the 2.0L L4 turbo engine (LTG), use unleaded petrol with a posted octane rating of 95 RON or higher. Unleaded petrol rated at 91 RON can be used, but acceleration and fuel economy will be reduced, and an audible knocking noise may be heard. If this occurs, use petrol rated at 95 RON as soon as possible, otherwise the engine could be damaged. If heavy knocking is heard when using unleaded petrol rated at 95 RON, the engine needs service. For the 6.2L V8 supercharged engine (LT4), use unleaded petrol with a posted octane rating of 95 RON or higher. If the octane is less than 95 RON, the engine could be damaged and repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. If heavy knocking is heard when using petrol rated at 95 RON octane, the engine needs service. Caution Do not use fuels with any of the following conditions; doing so may damage the vehicle and void its warranty: . Fuel with any amount of methanol, methylal, and aniline. These fuels can corrode metal fuel system parts or damage plastic and rubber parts. . Fuel containing metals such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), which can damage the emissions control system and spark plugs. . Fuel with a posted octane rating of less than the recommended fuel. Using this fuel will lower fuel economy and performance, and may decrease the life of the emissions catalyst. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING Fuel Additives Petrol should contain detergent additives that help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming. Clean fuel injectors and intake valves will allow the emission control system to work properly. Some petrol does not contain sufficient quantities of additives to keep fuel injectors and intake valves clean. To make up for this lack of detergency, consult your retailer for the GM approved additive treatment. Add this additive to the fuel tank at every engine oil change or every 15,000 km (9,000 mi), whichever occurs first. Warning (Continued) . To help avoid injuries to you and others, read and follow all the instructions on the fuel pump island. . Turn off the engine when refuelling. . Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from fuel. . Do not leave the fuel pump unattended. . Do not use a mobile phone while refuelling. . Do not reenter the vehicle while pumping fuel. { Warning . Fuel vapours and fuel fires burn violently and can cause injury or death.

Trailer Towing General Towing Information Only use towing equipment that has been designed for the vehicle. Contact your dealer or trailering dealer for assistance with preparing the vehicle for towing a trailer. Read the entire section before towing a trailer. For towing a disabled vehicle, see Towing the Vehicle 0 306. For towing the vehicle behind another vehicle such as a motor home, see Recreational Vehicle Towing 0 307. . Do not tow a trailer during the first 2 414 km (1,500 mi) to prevent damage to the engine, axle or other parts. . Then during the first 800 km (500 mi) of trailer towing, do not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and do not make starts at full throttle. . Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift the transmission to a lower gear if the transmission shifts too often under heavy loads and/or hilly conditions. . Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when towing. . The Forward Automatic Braking System should be set to Off when towing. See Forward Automatic Braking (FAB) 0 229. . Turn off Parking Assist when towing. Driving Characteristics and Towing Tips Driving with a Trailer When towing a trailer: . Become familiar with the state and local laws that apply to trailer towing. 237 Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 238 DRIVING AND OPERATING { Warning When towing a trailer, exhaust gases may collect at the rear of the vehicle and enter if the tailgate, boot/hatch, or rear-most window is open. When towing a trailer: . Do not drive with the tailgate, boot/hatch, or rear-most window open. . Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel. . Also adjust the climate control system to a setting that brings in only outside air. See “Climate Control Systems” in the Index. For more information about carbon monoxide, see Engine Exhaust 0 195. Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. The combination you are driving is longer and not as responsive as the vehicle itself. Get acquainted with the handling and braking of the rig before setting out for the open road. Before starting, check all trailer hitch parts and attachments, safety chains, electrical connectors, lamps, tyres, and mirrors. If the trailer has electric brakes, start the combination moving and then apply the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes work. During the trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure and the lamps and any trailer brakes still work. Following Distance Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when driving the vehicle without a trailer. This can help to avoid heavy braking and sudden turns. Overtaking More overtaking distance is needed when towing a trailer. The combination will not accelerate as quickly and is longer so it is necessary to go much farther beyond the passed vehicle before returning to the lane. Reversing Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. To move the trailer to the left, move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your hand to the right. Always reverse slowly and, if possible, have someone guide you. Making Turns Caution Making very sharp turns while trailering could cause the trailer to come in contact with the vehicle. The vehicle could be damaged. Avoid making very sharp turns while trailering. When turning with a trailer, make wider turns than normal. Do this so the trailer will not strike soft Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees, or other objects. Avoid jerky or sudden manoeuvres. Signal well in advance. If the trailer indicator bulbs burn out, the arrows on the instrument cluster will still flash for turns. It is important to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still working. Driving on Grades Reduce speed and shift to a lower gear before starting down a long or steep downgrade. If the transmission is not shifted down, the brakes might get hot and no longer work well. Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). Shift the transmission to a lower gear if the transmission shifts too often under heavy loads and/or hilly conditions. When towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades, consider the following: Engine coolant will boil at a lower temperature than at normal altitudes. If the engine is turned off immediately after towing at high altitude on steep uphill grades, the vehicle may show signs similar to engine overheating. To avoid this, let the engine run while parked, preferably on level ground, with the automatic transmission in P (Park) for a few minutes before turning the engine off. If the overheat warning comes on, see Engine Overheating 0 259. Parking on Hills { Warning Parking the vehicle on a hill with the trailer attached can be dangerous. If something goes wrong, the rig could start to move. People can be injured, and both the vehicle and the trailer can be damaged. When possible, always park the rig on a flat surface. If parking the rig on a hill: 1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park) yet. Turn the wheels into the curb if facing downhill or into traffic if facing uphill. 2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer wheels. 239 3. When the wheel chocks are in place, release the regular brakes until the chocks absorb the load. 4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking brake and shift into P (Park). 5. Release the brake pedal. Leaving After Parking on a Hill 1. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 2. Start the engine. 3. Shift into a gear. 4. Release the parking brake. 5. Release the brake pedal. 6. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks. 7. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks. Maintenance when Trailer Towing The vehicle needs service more often when pulling a trailer. Things that are especially important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid, engine oil, axle lubricant, belts, Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 240 DRIVING AND OPERATING cooling system and brake system. It is a good idea to inspect these before and during the trip. Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight. Trailer Towing (L4 Engine) A maximum speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) must not be exceeded, even in countries where higher speed limits are permitted. Before pulling a trailer, there are three important considerations that have to do with weight: . The weight of the trailer. . The weight of the trailer tongue. . The total weight on your vehicle's tyres. Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It depends on how the rig is used. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature, and how much the vehicle is used to pull a trailer are all important. It can depend on any special equipment on the vehicle, and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can carry. See “Weight of the Trailer Tongue” later in this section. Use the following chart to determine how much the vehicle can weigh, based upon the vehicle model and options. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING 241 Maximum Trailer Weight GCWR* Maximum Tongue Weight** 2.0L Engine, AWD Sedan 1 136 kg (2,500 lb) 3 396 kg* (7,486 lb)* 46 kg** (100 lb)** 2.0L Engine, RWD Sedan 1 136 kg (2,500 lb) 3 296 kg* (7,266 lb)* 46 kg** (100 lb)** Vehicle *The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions. The GCWR for the vehicle should not be exceeded. **If a weight-carrying hitch or a weight-distributing hitch is being used, the trailer tongue should weigh no less than 4% of the total loaded trailer weight, and no more than 46 kg (100 lb). Ask your dealer for trailering information or advice. Weight of the Trailer Tongue The tongue load (1) of any trailer is an important weight to measure because it affects the total gross weight of the vehicle. The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) includes the curb weight of the vehicle, any cargo carried in it and the people who will be riding in the vehicle. If there are a lot of options, equipment, passengers, or cargo in the vehicle, it will reduce the tongue weight the vehicle can carry, which will also reduce the trailer weight the vehicle can tow. If towing a trailer, the nose weight must be added to the GVW because the vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. The trailer tongue (1) should weigh no less than 4% and no more than 10% of the total loaded trailer weight (2). Do not exceed the maximum tongue loads for the hitch. After loading the trailer, weigh the trailer and then the tongue, separately, to see if the weights are proper. If they are not, adjustments might be made by moving some items around in the trailer. If an aftermarket coupling device is added to the vehicle, the combined mass of the vehicle, passengers, cargo in the vehicle, mass of the coupling Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 242 DRIVING AND OPERATING device and trailer tongue load must not exceed the gross vehicle mass rating for the vehicle. Towing Equipment (L4 Engine) Total Weight on Your Vehicle's Tyres Hitches Be sure the vehicle's tyres are inflated to the upper limit for cold tyres. These numbers can be found on the Tyre and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. Make sure not to go over the GVW limit for the vehicle, including the weight of the trailer tongue. Trailer Towing (V-Series) The vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer. Use the correct hitch equipment. See your dealer or a hitch dealer for assistance. . The rear bumper on the vehicle is not intended for hitches. Do not attach rental hitches or other bumper-type hitches to it. Use only a frame-mounted hitch that does not attach to the bumper. . Will any holes be made in the body of the vehicle when the trailer hitch is installed? If so, seal the holes when the hitch is removed. If the holes are not sealed, dirt, water and deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from the exhaust can get into the vehicle. See Engine Exhaust 0 195. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 DRIVING AND OPERATING 243 the hitch ball, or 31.5 cm (12.4 in) from the rear bumper when measured at the height of the hitch ball. Safety Chains Always attach chains between the vehicle and the trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer to help prevent the tongue from contacting the road if it becomes separated from the hitch. Leave enough slack so the rig can turn. Never allow safety chains to drag on the ground. Trailer Brakes 1. Distance from the center of the hitch ball to the center point of the rear axle 149.5 cm (58.9 in) 2. Distance from the center of the hitch ball to the rear hitch fastening location 40.7 cm (16.0 in) 3. Minimum distance from the rear hitch fastening location to the forward hitch fastening location 16.1 cm (6.3 in) 4. Distance from the left side to the right side of the hitch fastening locations 16.1 cm (6.3 in) The maximum allowable rear overhang for the trailer coupling point is 25 cm (9.8 in) from the center of Does the trailer have its own brakes? National and local regulations may require the trailer to have its own braking system if loaded above a certain threshold. Trailer brake requirements vary by region. Be sure to read and follow the instructions for the trailer brakes so they are installed, adjusted and maintained properly. A loaded trailer that weighs more than 450 kg (1,000 lb) must be equipped with its own brake system, with brakes working on all axles. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 244 DRIVING AND OPERATING Because the vehicle has antilock brakes, do not tap into the vehicle's brake system. If this is done, both brake systems will not work well or at all. Trailer lamps should be visually checked at the beginning of each trip, and periodically on a longer trip. Conversions and Add-Ons Add-On Electrical Equipment { Warning The Data Link Connector (DLC) is used for vehicle service and Emission Inspection/Maintenance testing. See Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) 0 127. A device connected to the DLC — such as an aftermarket fleet or driver-behaviour tracking device — may interfere with vehicle systems. This could affect vehicle operation and cause a crash. Such devices may also access information stored in the vehicle's systems. Caution Some electrical equipment can damage the vehicle or cause components not to work and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. Add-on equipment can drain the vehicle's 12-volt battery, even if the vehicle is not operating. The vehicle has an airbag system.

Following these simple, but important steps will help protect your investment: . Use engine oil approved to the proper specification and of the proper viscosity grade. See "Selecting the Right Engine Oil" in this section. . Check the engine oil level regularly and maintain the proper oil level. See "Checking Engine Oil" and "When to Add Engine Oil" in this section. . Change the engine oil at the appropriate time. See Engine Oil Life System 0 253. . Always dispose of engine oil properly. See "What to Do with Used Oil" in this section. Checking Engine Oil Check the engine oil level regularly, every 650 km (400 mi), especially prior to a long trip. The engine oil 251 dipstick handle is a loop. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 248 for the location. { Warning The engine oil dipstick handle may be hot; it could burn you. Use a towel or glove to touch the dipstick handle. If a low oil Driver Information Centre (DIC) message displays, check the oil level. Follow these guidelines: . To get an accurate reading, park the vehicle on level ground. Check the engine oil level after the engine has been off for at least two hours. Checking the engine oil level on steep gradients or too soon after engine shutoff can result in incorrect readings. Accuracy improves when checking a cold engine prior to starting. Remove the dipstick and check the level. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 252 . VEHICLE CARE If unable to wait two hours, the engine must be off for at least 15 minutes if the engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if the engine is not warm. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it with a clean paper towel or cloth, then push it back in all the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down, and check the level. When to Add Engine Oil 2.0L L4 Turbo Engine (LTG) Caution (Continued) 6.2L V8 Supercharged Engine (LT4) If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick and the engine has been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1 L (1 qt) of the recommended oil and then recheck the level. See "Selecting the Right Engine Oil" later in this section for an explanation of what kind of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities and Specifications 0 326. Caution Do not add too much oil. Oil levels above or below the acceptable operating range shown on the dipstick are harmful to the engine. If you find that you have an oil level above the operating range, i.e., the engine has so much oil that the (Continued) oil level gets above the cross-hatched area that shows the proper operating range, the engine could be damaged. You should drain out the excess oil or limit driving of the vehicle and seek a service professional to remove the excess amount of oil. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 248 for the location of the engine oil fill cap. Add enough oil to put the level somewhere in the proper operating range. Push the dipstick all the way back in when done. Selecting the Right Engine Oil Selecting the right engine oil depends on both the proper oil specification and viscosity grade. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE 253 Specification Viscosity Grade What to Do with Used Oil Ask for and use full synthetic engine oils that meet the dexos1 specification. Use SAE 5W-30 viscosity grade engine oil. Used engine oil contains certain elements that can be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings about the use and disposal of oil products. Engine oils that have been approved by GM as meeting the dexos1 specification are marked with the dexos1 approved logo. Caution Use only engine oil that is approved to the dexos specification or equivalent engine oil as defined in the preceding paragraph. Failure to use the recommended engine oil can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below −29 °C (−20 °F), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures. When selecting an oil of the appropriate viscosity grade, it is recommended to select an oil of the correct specification. See "Specification" earlier in this section. Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes Do not add anything to the oil. The recommended oils meeting the dexos1 specification are all that is needed for good performance and engine protection. Engine oil system flushes are not recommended and could cause engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting it in the trash or pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used oil. Engine Oil Life System When to Change Engine Oil This vehicle has a computer system that indicates when to change the engine oil and filter. This is based on a combination of factors which include Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 254 VEHICLE CARE engine revolutions, engine temperature, and miles driven. Based on driving conditions, the mileage at which an oil change is indicated can vary considerably. For the oil life system to work properly, the system must be reset every time the oil is changed. When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, it indicates that an oil change is necessary. A CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message comes on. Change the oil as soon as possible within the next 1 000 km (600 mi). It is possible that, if driving under the best conditions, the oil life system might indicate that an oil change is not necessary for up to a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and, at this time, the system must be reset. Your dealer has trained service people who will perform this work and reset the system. It is also important to check the oil regularly over the course of an oil drain interval and keep it at the proper level. If the system is ever reset accidentally, the oil must be changed at 5 000 km (3,000 mi) since the last oil change. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in Scheduled Maintenance 0 319, and be sure to use the fluid listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. After you change the oil, the oil life system will need to be reset. See your dealer for service. Engine Air Cleaner/Filter Automatic Transmission Fluid The engine air cleaner/filter is in the engine compartment on the driver side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 248. How to Check Automatic Transmission Fluid When to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to your dealer and have it repaired as soon as possible. For intervals on changing and inspecting the engine air cleaner/filter, see Scheduled Maintenance 0 319. The vehicle is not equipped with a transmission fluid level dipstick. There is a special procedure for checking and changing the transmission fluid. Because this procedure is difficult, this should be done at the dealer. Contact the dealer for additional information.

See Scheduled Maintenance 0 319 and Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. The following explains the cooling system and how to check and add coolant when it is low. If there is a problem with engine overheating, see Engine Overheating 0 259. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE What to Use { Warning Do not touch heater or radiator hoses, or other engine parts. They can be very hot and can burn you. Do not run the engine if there is a leak; all coolant could leak out. That could cause an engine fire and can burn you. Fix any leak before driving the vehicle. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. This mixture: . Gives freezing protection down to -37 °C (-34 °F), outside temperature . Gives boiling protection up to 129 °C (265 °F), engine temperature . Protects against rust and corrosion . Will not damage aluminium parts . Helps keep the proper engine temperature Caution Do not use anything other than a mix of DEX-COOL coolant that meets GM Standard GMW3420 and clean, drinkable water. Anything else can cause damage to the engine cooling system and the vehicle, which would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Never dispose of engine coolant by putting it in the refuse, pouring it on the ground, or into sewers, streams, or bodies of water. Have the coolant changed by an authorised service centre, familiar with legal requirements regarding used coolant disposal. This will help protect the environment and your health. Checking Coolant The vehicle must be on a level surface when checking the coolant level. 257 It is normal to see coolant moving in the upper coolant hose return line when the engine is running. It is also normal to see bubbles entering the surge tank through the small hose. Check to see if coolant is visible in the coolant surge tank. If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, do not do anything else until it cools down. It is normal for the coolant level in the bottom chamber to rise and fall with operating temperature and ambient conditions. Coolant will evaporate from the bottom chamber Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 258 VEHICLE CARE in normal operation. This will happen faster when the vehicle is driven for long periods in hot, dry conditions. If no coolant is visible in the coolant surge tank, add coolant as follows: How to Add Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank { Warning Spilling coolant on hot engine parts can burn you. Coolant contains ethylene glycol and it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough. { Warning Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system are under pressure. Turning the pressure cap, even a little, can cause them to jet out at high speed and you could be burned. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the pressure cap itself, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and pressure cap to cool. Caution { Warning Plain water, or other liquids such as alcohol, may boil before the proper coolant mixture does. With plain water or the wrong mixture, the engine could get too hot but there would not be an overheat warning. The engine could catch fire and you or others could be burned. Failure to follow the specific coolant fill procedure could cause the engine to overheat and could cause system damage. If coolant is not visible in the surge tank, contact your retailer. If no problem is found, check to see if coolant is visible in the coolant surge tank. If coolant is visible but the coolant level is not at the bottom of the fill neck, add a 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL coolant. Be sure the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is cool before you do it. 1. Remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap from the top chamber when the cooling system, including the coolant surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose, is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly anticlockwise. If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. This will allow any pressure still left to be vented out the discharge hose. 2. Keep turning the pressure cap slowly and remove it. Open the surge tank service port cap to the lower chamber. The service port is behind the top chamber. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE level is lower, add more of the proper mixture to the surge tank top chamber until the level reaches the bottom of the fill neck. 5. Replace the surge tank pressure cap tightly and close the surge tank service port cap. 3. Fill the surge tank top chamber with the proper mixture to the bottom of the fill neck. The top chamber needs to be completely full. Fill the surge tank bottom chamber through the service port to approximately half. 4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off and the surge tank service port cap open, start the engine and let it run until you can feel the upper radiator hose getting hot. Watch out for the engine cooling fan(s). By this time, the coolant level inside the coolant surge tank top chamber may be lower. If the 6. Check the level in the surge tank top and bottom chambers when the cooling system has cooled down. If the coolant is not at the proper levels, repeat Steps 1– 6 and reinstall the pressure cap and close the service port. If the coolant still is not at the proper levels when the system cools down again, see your dealer. Caution If the pressure cap is not tightly installed, coolant loss and engine damage may occur. Be sure the cap is properly and tightly secured. 259 Engine Overheating The vehicle has an indicator to warn of the engine overheating. If the decision is made not to lift the bonnet when this warning appears, get service help right away. If the decision is made to lift the bonnet, make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Then check to see if the engine cooling fan is running. If the engine is overheating, the fan should be running. If it is not, do not continue to run the engine. Have the vehicle serviced. Caution Do not run the engine if there is a leak in the engine cooling system. This can cause a loss of all coolant and can damage the system and vehicle. Have any leaks fixed right away. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 260 VEHICLE CARE If Steam Is Coming from the Engine Compartment { Warning Steam and scalding liquids from a hot cooling system are under pressure. Turning the pressure cap, even a little, can cause them to jet out at high speed and you could be burned. Never turn the cap when the cooling system, including the pressure cap itself, is hot. Wait for the cooling system and pressure cap to cool. If Steam Is Coming from the Engine Compartment with No Overheat Warning (V-Series Only) The V-Series bonnet vent is functional, and will allow water from rain and car washes to enter the engine compartment and contact hot surfaces. If steam is seen coming from the bonnet vent with no accompanying overheat warning, no action is required. If No Steam Is Coming from the Engine Compartment If an engine overheat warning is displayed but no steam can be seen or heard, the problem may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can get a little too hot when the vehicle: . Climbs a long hill on a hot day . Stops after high-speed driving . Idles for long periods in traffic If the overheat warning is displayed with no sign of steam: 1. Turn the air conditioning off. 2. Turn the heater on to the highest temperature and to the highest fan speed. Open the windows as necessary. 3. When it is safe to do so, pull off the road, shift to P (Park) or N (Neutral) and let the engine idle. If the overheat warning no longer displays, the vehicle can be driven. Continue to drive the vehicle slowly for about 10 minutes. Keep a safe vehicle distance from the vehicle in front. If the warning does not come back on, continue to drive normally and have the cooling system checked for proper fill and function. If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park the vehicle right away. If there is no sign of steam, idle the engine for three minutes while parked. If the warning is still displayed, turn off the engine until it cools down. Washer Fluid What to Use When windscreen washer fluid is needed, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions before use. If operating the vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Adding Washer Fluid Caution (Continued) . Open the cap with the washer symbol on it. Add washer fluid until the tank is full. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 248 for reservoir location. Caution . . Do not use washer fluid that contains any type of water repellent coating. This can cause the wiper blades to chatter or skip. Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in the windscreen washer. It can damage the windscreen washer system and paint. (Continued) Do not mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage the washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. . When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer instructions for adding water. . Fill the washer fluid tank only three-quarters full when it is very cold. This allows for fluid expansion if freezing occurs, which could damage the tank if it is completely full. Brakes Disc brake pads have built-in wear indicators that make a high-pitched warning sound when the brake pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound can come and go or be 261 heard all the time when the vehicle is moving, except when applying the brake pedal firmly. { Warning The brake wear warning sound means that soon the brakes will not work well. That could lead to a crash. When the brake wear warning sound is heard, have the vehicle serviced. Caution Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads could result in costly brake repair. Some driving conditions or climates can cause a brake squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly applied. This does not mean something is wrong with the brakes. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 262 VEHICLE CARE If equipped with high performance brake linings, there could be an increased build-up of brake dust as well as minor noises as compared to standard brake linings. Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary to help prevent brake pulsation. When tyres are rotated, inspect brake pads for wear and evenly tighten wheel nuts in the proper sequence to torque specifications. See Capacities and Specifications 0 326. Brake pads should be replaced as complete sets. Brake Pedal Travel See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be a sign that brake service may be required. Replacing Brake System Parts Always replace brake system parts with new, approved replacement parts. If this is not done, the brakes may not work properly. The braking performance expected can change in many other ways if the wrong replacement brake parts are installed or parts are improperly installed. Brake Fluid The brake master cylinder reservoir is filled with GM approved DOT 3 brake fluid as indicated on the reservoir cap. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 248 for the location of the reservoir. Checking Brake Fluid With the vehicle in P (Park) on a level surface, the brake fluid level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the brake fluid reservoir. There are only two reasons why the brake fluid level in the reservoir may go down: . Normal brake lining wear. When new linings are installed, the fluid level goes back up. . A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic system. Have the brake hydraulic system fixed. With a leak, the brakes will not work well. Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area around the cap before removing it. Do not top off the brake fluid. Adding fluid does not correct a leak. If fluid is added when the linings are worn, there will be too much fluid when new brake linings are installed. Add or remove fluid, as necessary, only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system. { Warning If too much brake fluid is added, it can spill on the engine and burn, if the engine is hot enough. You or others could be burned, and the vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE When the brake fluid falls to a low level, the brake warning light comes on. See Brake System Warning Light 0 129. Brake fluid absorbs water over time which degrades the effectiveness of the brake fluid. Replace brake fluid at the specified intervals to prevent increased stopping distance. See Scheduled Maintenance 0 319. What to Add Use only GM approved DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 322. { Warning The wrong or contaminated brake fluid could result in damage to the brake system. This could result in the loss of braking leading to a possible injury. Always use the proper GM approved brake fluid. Caution If brake fluid is spilled on the vehicle's painted surfaces, the paint finish can be damaged. Immediately wash off any painted surface. 263 charge voltage to 14.8 volts.

When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems. Fuses and circuit breakers protect power devices in the vehicle. Replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible. Headlamp Wiring An electrical overload may cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if the lamps go on and off or remain off. 271 linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windscreen before using the windscreen wipers. If the overload is caused by an electrical problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get it fixed. Windscreen Wipers Fuses and Circuit Breakers If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the windscreen wipers will stop. Wiper function is available immediately after the wiper switch is set to off, and back to on. The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems. To protect the wiper motor from overheating, the wipers may slow down when the windscreen is dry for a long period of time. If a period of dry operation, or little moisture, exceeds 10 minutes, the wipers may switch to intermittent operation, and remain there. When moisture is again detected on the windscreen, wiper operation will return to the operator selected speed. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper { Danger Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire. You and others could be seriously injured or killed. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 272 VEHICLE CARE To check a fuse, look at the silver-coloured band inside the fuse.

Underinflated tyres pose the same danger as overloaded tyres. The resulting crash could cause serious injury. Check all tyres frequently to maintain the recommended pressure. Tyre pressure should be checked when the tyres are cold. . Overinflated tyres are more likely to be cut, punctured, or broken by a sudden impact - such as when hitting a pothole. Keep tyres at the recommended pressure. . Worn or old tyres can cause a crash. If the tread is badly worn, replace them. Every new GM vehicle has high-quality tyres made by a leading tyre manufacturer. See the warranty manual for information regarding the tyre warranty and where to get service. For additional information refer to the tyre manufacturer. { Warning . Poorly maintained and improperly used tyres are dangerous. . Overloading the tyres can cause overheating as a result of too much flexing. There could be a blowout and a serious crash. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. (Continued) (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Warning (Continued) . Replace any tyres that have been damaged by impacts with potholes, curbs, etc. . Improperly repaired tyres can cause a crash. Only the dealer or an authorised tyre service centre should repair, replace, dismount, and mount the tyres. . Do not spin the tyres in excess of 56 km/h (35 mph) on slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc. Excessive spinning may cause the tyres to explode. See Tyre Pressure for High-Speed Operation 0 285 for inflation pressure adjustment for high-speed driving. All-Season Tyres This vehicle may come with all-season tyres. These tyres are designed to provide good overall performance on most road surfaces and weather conditions. Original equipment tyres designed to GM's specific tyre performance criteria have a TPC specification code moulded onto the sidewall. Original equipment all-season tyres can be identified by the last two characters of this TPC code, which will be “MS.” Consider installing winter tyres on the vehicle if frequent driving on snow or ice-covered roads is expected. All-season tyres provide adequate performance for most winter driving conditions, but they may not offer the same level of traction or performance as winter tyres on snow or ice-covered roads. See Winter Tyres 0 281. Winter Tyres This vehicle was not originally equipped with winter tyres. Winter tyres are designed for increased traction on snow and ice-covered 281 roads. Consider installing winter tyres on the vehicle if frequent driving on ice or snow covered roads is expected. See your dealer for details regarding winter tyre availability and proper tyre selection. Also, see Buying New Tyres 0 292. With winter tyres, there may be decreased dry road traction, increased road noise and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tyres, be alert for changes in the vehicle handling and braking. If using winter tyres: . Use tyres of the same brand and tread type on all four wheel positions. . Use only radial ply tyres of the same size, load range and speed rating as the original equipment tyres. Winter tyres with the same speed rating as the original equipment tyres may not be available for H, V, W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres. If winter tyres with a lower speed rating are chosen, never exceed the tyre's maximum speed capability. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 282 VEHICLE CARE Run-Flat Tyres This vehicle, when new, may have had run-flat tyres. There is no spare tyre, no tyre changing equipment and no place to store a tyre in the vehicle. The vehicle also has a Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) that indicates a loss of tyre pressure in any of the tyres. { Warning If the low tyre warning light displays on the instrument cluster, the handling capabilities will be reduced during severe manoeuvres. Driving too fast could cause loss of control and you or others could be injured. Do not drive over 90 km/h (55 mph) when the low tyre warning light is displayed. Drive cautiously and check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. Run-flat tyres can be driven on with no air pressure. There is no need to stop on the side of the road to change the tyre. Continue driving; however, do not drive too far or too fast. Driving on the tyre may not be possible if there is permanent damage. To prevent permanent damage, keep speed below 80 km/h (50 mph). With a light load the vehicle can be driven up to 100 km (60 mi); with a moderate load 80 km (50 mi); and a heavy load 45 km (25 mi). As soon as possible, contact the nearest authorised GM or run-flat servicing facility for inspection and repair or replacement. When driving on a deflated run-flat tyre, avoid potholes and other road hazards that could damage the tyre and/or wheel beyond repair. When a tyre has been damaged, or driven any distance while deflated, check with an authorised run-flat tyre service centre to determine whether the tyre can be repaired or should be replaced. To maintain the run-flat feature, all replacement tyres must be run-flat tyres. To locate the nearest GM or run-flat servicing facility, call Customer Assistance. The valve stems on run-flat tyres have sensors that are part of the TPMS. See Tyre Pressure Monitor System 0 285. These sensors contain batteries that are designed to last for 10 years under normal driving conditions. See your dealer for wheel or sensor replacement. Caution Using liquid sealants can damage the tyre valves and tyre pressure monitor sensors in the run-flat tyres. This damage is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use liquid sealants in run-flat tyres. Low-Profile Tyres If the vehicle has 265/35ZR19 or 295/30ZR19 size tyres, they are classified as low-profile tyres. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Caution Low-profile tyres are more susceptible to damage from road hazards or curb impact than standard profile tyres. Tyre and/or wheel assembly damage can occur when coming into contact with road hazards like potholes, or sharp edged objects, or when sliding into a kerb. The warranty does not cover this type of damage. Keep tyres set to the correct inflation pressure and when possible, avoid contact with kerbs, potholes, and other road hazards. Summer Tyres High Performance Summer Tyres This vehicle may come with 245/ 40R18 (front) and 275/35R18 (rear) or 265/35ZR19 (front) and 295/30ZR19 (rear) high performance summer tires. These tyres have a special tread and compound that are optimised for maximum dry and wet road performance. This special tread and compound will have decreased performance in cold climates, and on ice and snow. It is recommended that winter tyres be installed on the vehicle if frequent driving at temperatures below approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow covered roads is expected. See Winter Tyres 0 281. Caution High performance summer tires have rubber compounds that lose flexibility and may develop surface cracks in the tread area at temperatures below -7 °C (20 °F). Always store high performance summer tires indoors and at temperatures above -7 °C (20 °F) when not in use. If the tires have been subjected to -7 °C (20 °F) or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for 24 hours or more before being installed or driving a vehicle on which they are installed. Do not (Continued) 283 Caution (Continued) apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tyres. Always inspect tyres before use. See Tyre Inspection 0 289. Tyre Pressure Tyres need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively. Caution Neither tyre underinflation nor overinflation is good. Underinflated tyres, or tyres that do not have enough air, can result in: . Tyre overloading and overheating which could lead to a blowout. . Premature or irregular wear. . Poor handling. (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 284 VEHICLE CARE Caution (Continued) . Reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tyres, or tyres that have too much air, can result in: . Unusual wear. . Poor handling. . Rough ride. . Needless damage from road hazards. The Tyre and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicates the original equipment tyres and the correct cold tyre inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum load carrying capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. How the vehicle is loaded affects vehicle handling and ride comfort. Never load the vehicle with more weight than it was designed to carry. When to Check Check the tyres once a month or more. How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check the tyre pressure. Proper tyre inflation cannot be determined by looking at the tyre. Check the tyre inflation pressure when the tyres are cold, meaning the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours or no more than 1.6 km (1 mi). Remove the valve cap from the tyre valve stem. Press the tyre gauge firmly onto the valve to get the pressure measurement. If the cold tyre inflation pressure matches the recommended pressure on the Tyre and Loading Information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the inflation pressure is low, add air until the recommended pressure is reached. If the inflation pressure in high, press on the metal stem in the centre of the tyre valve to release air. Re-check the tyre pressure with the tyre gauge. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems to keep out dirt and moisture and prevent leaks. Use only valve caps designed for the vehicle by GM. TPMS sensors could be damaged and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Tyre Pressure for High-Speed Operation { Warning Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher, puts additional strain on tyres. Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat build-up and can cause sudden tyre failure. This could cause a crash, and you or others could be killed. Some high-speed rated tyres require inflation pressure adjustment for high-speed operation. When speed limits and road conditions allow the vehicle to be driven at high speeds, make sure the tyres are rated for high-speed operation, are in excellent condition, and are set to the correct cold tyre inflation pressure for the vehicle load. Vehicles with P245/45R17 95V, P245/ 40R18 93V, or 255/35R19 96V size tyres require inflation pressure adjustment when driving the vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold tyre inflation pressure to 280 kPa (41 psi). Vehicles with 245/40R18 93Y and 275/ 35R18 95Y or 265/35ZR19 (94Y) and 295/30ZR19 (100Y) size tyres require inflation pressure adjustment when driving the vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h (100 mph) or higher. Set the cold tyre inflation pressure to 300 kPa (44 psi). Sustained operation at speeds over 160 km/h (100 mph) requires a load limit of the driver and one passenger, with no additional cargo. When loaded above this level, up to the GVW, do not operate the vehicle above 160 km/h (100 mph). Return the tyres to the recommended cold tyre inflation pressure when high-speed driving has ended. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184 and Tyre Pressure 0 283. 285 Tyre Pressure Monitor System Caution Modifications made to the Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) by anyone other than an authorised service facility may void authorisation to use the system. The Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tyre pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 286 VEHICLE CARE tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. See Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation 0 286 for additional information. See Declaration of Conformity 0 334. Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation This vehicle may have a Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when a low tyre pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tyre and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tyre and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit the tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. When a low tyre pressure condition is detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tyre pressure warning light on the instrument cluster. If the warning Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the recommended pressure shown on the Tyre and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. A message to check the pressure in a specific tyre displays in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). The low tyre pressure warning light and the DIC warning message come on at each ignition cycle until the tyres are inflated to the correct inflation pressure. Using the DIC, tyre pressure levels can be viewed. For additional information and details about the DIC operation and displays see Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 136. The low tyre pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This could be an early indicator that the air pressure is getting low and needs to be inflated to the proper pressure. A Tyre and Loading Information label, attached to your vehicle, shows the size of the original equipment tyres and the correct inflation pressure for the tyres when they are cold. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184 for an example of the Tyre and Loading Information label and its location. Also see Tyre Pressure 0 283. The TPMS can warn about a low tyre pressure condition but it does not replace normal tyre maintenance. See Tyre Inspection 0 289, Tyre Rotation 0 290, and Tyres 0 280. Caution Tyre sealant materials are not all the same. A non-approved tyre sealant could damage the TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor damage caused by using an incorrect tyre sealant is not covered by the vehicle warranty. Always use only the GM approved tyre sealant available through your dealer or included in the vehicle. Factory-installed Tyre Inflator Kits use a GM approved liquid tyre sealant. Using non-approved tyre sealants could damage the TPMS sensors. See 287 Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit 0 296 for information regarding the inflator kit materials and instructions. Tyre Loading Selection — If Equipped Adjust the vehicle tyre pressures to match the load condition according to the Tyre and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. Select the appropriate Tyre Loading setting. See Instrument Cluster 0 119. If tyre pressures and Tyre Loading do not match, the tyre pressure light may indicate a low tyre. See Tyre Pressure 0 283. TPMS Malfunction Light and Message The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the system detects a malfunction, the low tyre pressure warning light flashes for about one minute and then stays on for the remainder of the ignition cycle. A DIC warning message also displays. The malfunction light and DIC warning message come on at each Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 288 VEHICLE CARE ignition cycle until the problem is corrected. Some of the conditions that can cause these to come on are: . One of the road tyres has been replaced with the spare tyre. The spare tyre does not have a TPMS sensor. The malfunction light and DIC message should go off after the road tyre is replaced and the sensor matching process is performed successfully. See “TPMS Sensor Matching Process” later in this section. . The TPMS sensor matching process was not done or not completed successfully after rotating the tyres. The malfunction light and the DIC message should go off after successfully completing the sensor matching process. See "TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later in this section. . One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. The malfunction light and the DIC message should go off when the TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor matching process is performed successfully. See your dealer for service. . Replacement tyres or wheels do not match the original equipment tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels other than those recommended could prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. See Buying New Tyres 0 292. . Operating electronic devices or being near facilities using radio wave frequencies similar to the TPMS could cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction. If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it cannot detect or signal a low tyre pressure condition. See your dealer for service if the TPMS malfunction light and DIC message come on and stay on. TPMS Sensor Matching Process Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code needs to be matched to a new tyre/wheel position after rotating the vehicle's tyres or replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. The TPMS sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing the TPMS sensor. The malfunction light and the DIC message should go off at the next ignition cycle. The sensors are matched to the tyre/wheel positions, using a TPMS relearn tool, in the following order: driver side front tyre, passenger side front tyre, passenger side rear tyre, and driver side rear tyre. See your dealer for service or to purchase a relearn tool. You have two minutes to match the first tyre/wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four tyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must be restarted. The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Place the vehicle in Service Mode. See Ignition Positions 0 189. 3. Make sure the Tyre Pressure info display option is turned on. The info displays on the DIC can be Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE turned on and off through the Settings menu. See Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 136. 4. Use the five-way DIC control on the right side of the steering wheel to scroll to the Tyre Pressure screen under the DIC info page. See Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 136. 5. Press and hold the SEL button in the centre of the five-way DIC control. The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and the TYRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the DIC screen. 6. Start with the driver side front tyre. 7. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button to activate the TPMS sensor. A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tyre and wheel position. 8. Proceed to the passenger side front tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 7. 9. Proceed to the passenger side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 7. 10. Proceed to the driver side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 7. The horn sounds two times to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the driver side rear tyre, and the TPMS sensor matching process is no longer active. The TYRE LEARNING ACTIVE message on the DIC display screen goes off. Tyre Inspection We recommend that the tyres, including the spare tyre, if the vehicle has one, be inspected for signs of wear or damage at least once a month. Replace the tyre if: . The indicators at three or more places around the tyre can be seen. . There is cord or fabric showing through the tyre's rubber. . The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric. . The tyre has a bump, bulge, or split. . The tyre has a puncture, cut, or other damage that cannot be repaired well because of the size or location of the damage. 11. Turn the vehicle off. 12. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the Tyre and Loading Information label. 289 Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 290 VEHICLE CARE Tyre Rotation If the vehicle has non-directional tyres, they should be rotated at the intervals specified in the Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance 0 319. will have an arrow on the tyre indicating the proper direction of rotation or will have “left” or “right” moulded on the sidewall. Tyres are rotated to achieve a uniform wear for all tyres. The first rotation is the most important. Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate the tyres as soon as possible, check for proper tyre inflation pressure, and check for damaged tyres or wheels. If the unusual wear continues after the rotation, check the wheel alignment. See When It Is Time for New Tyres 0 291 and Wheel Replacement 0 294. Directional tyres should not be rotated. Each tyre and wheel should be used only in the position it is in. Directional tyres Use this rotation pattern when rotating tyres of the same size installed on all four wheel positions. Use this rotation pattern if the vehicle has different size tyres on the front and rear and they are non-directional. Different tyre sizes should not be rotated front to rear. If the vehicle has a compact spare tyre, do not include it in the tyre rotation. Adjust the front and rear tyres to the recommended inflation pressure on the Tyre and Loading Information label after the tyres have been rotated. See Tyre Pressure 0 283 and Vehicle Load Limits 0 184. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor System. See Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation 0 286. Check that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” under Capacities and Specifications 0 326. { Warning Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When changing a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth or a paper towel can be used; however, use a scraper or wire brush later to remove all rust or dirt. Lightly coat the centre of the wheel hub with wheel bearing grease after a wheel change or tyre rotation to prevent corrosion or rust build-up. Do not get grease on the flat wheel mounting surface or on the wheel nuts or bolts. When It Is Time for New Tyres Factors such as maintenance, temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road conditions affect the wear rate of the tyres. 291 or less of tread remaining. See Tyre Inspection 0 289 and Tyre Rotation 0 290. The rubber in tyres ages over time. This also applies to the spare tyre, if the vehicle has one, even if it is never used. Multiple factors including temperatures, loading conditions, and inflation pressure maintenance affect how fast ageing takes place. GM recommends that tyres, including the spare if equipped, be replaced after six years, regardless of tread wear. The tyre manufacture date is the last four digits of the DOT Tyre Identification Number (TIN) which is moulded into one side of the tyre sidewall. The first two digits represent the week (01–52) and the last two digits, the year. For example, the third week of the year 2010 would have a four-digit DOT date of 0310. Vehicle Storage Tread wear indicators are one way to tell when it is time for new tyres. Tread wear indicators appear when the tyres have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in) Tyres age when stored normally mounted on a parked vehicle. Park a vehicle that will be stored for at least a month in a cool, dry, clean area away from direct sunlight to slow Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 292 VEHICLE CARE ageing. This area should be free of grease, petrol, or other substances that can deteriorate rubber. Parking for an extended period can cause flat spots on the tyres that may result in vibrations while driving. When storing a vehicle for at least a month, remove the tyres or raise the vehicle to reduce the weight from the tyres. Buying New Tyres GM has developed and matched specific tyres for the vehicle. The original equipment tyres installed were designed to meet General Motors Tyre Performance Criteria Specification (TPC Spec) system rating. When replacement tyres are needed, GM strongly recommends buying tyres with the same TPC Spec rating. GM's exclusive TPC Spec system considers over a dozen critical specifications that impact the overall performance of the vehicle, including brake system performance, ride and handling, traction control, and tyre pressure monitoring performance. GM's TPC Spec number is moulded onto the tyre's sidewall near the tyre size. If the tyres have an all-season tread design, the TPC Spec number will be followed by MS for mud and snow. GM recommends replacing worn tyres in complete sets of four. Uniform tread depth on all tyres will help to maintain the performance of the vehicle. Braking and handling performance may be adversely affected if all the tyres are not replaced at the same time. If proper rotation and maintenance have been done, all four tyres should wear out at about the same time. See Tyre Rotation 0 290 for information on proper tyre rotation. However, if it is necessary to replace only one axle set of worn tyres, place the new tyres on the rear axle. { Warning Tyres could explode during improper service. Attempting to mount or dismount a tyre could cause injury or death. Only your dealer or authorised tyre service centre should mount or dismount the tyres. Winter tyres with the same speed rating as the original equipment tyres may not be available for H, V, W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres. Never exceed the winter tyre's maximum speed capability when using winter tyres with a lower speed rating. { Warning Never drive faster than the speed the tyres are rated, regardless of the legal speed limit. When frequently driving the vehicle at high speeds (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Warning (Continued) Warning (Continued) and/or for prolonged periods of time, check with your vehicle/tyre dealer for the proper type of tyres to use for the specific driving and weather conditions. many miles of driving. A tyre and/or wheel could fail suddenly and cause a crash. Use only radial-ply tyres with the wheels on the vehicle. { Warning Mixing tyres of different sizes (other than those originally installed on the vehicle), brands, or types may cause loss of control of the vehicle, resulting in a crash or other vehicle damage. Use the correct size, brand, and type of tyre on all four wheels. If the vehicle tyres must be replaced with a tyre that does not have a TPC Spec number, make sure they are the same size, load range, speed rating, and construction (radial) as the original tyres. { Warning Vehicles that have a tyre pressure monitoring system could give an inaccurate low-pressure warning if non-TPC Spec rated tyres are installed. See Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation 0 286. Using bias-ply tyres on the vehicle may cause the wheel rim flanges to develop cracks after The Tyre and Loading Information label indicates the original equipment tyres on the vehicle. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 184 for (Continued) 293 the label location and more information about the Tyre and Loading Information label. Different Size Tyres and Wheels If wheels or tyres are installed that are a different size than the original equipment wheels and tyres, vehicle performance, including its braking, ride and handling characteristics, stability, and resistance to rollover may be affected. If the vehicle has electronic systems such as antilock brakes, rollover airbags, traction control, electronic stability control, or All-Wheel Drive, the performance of these systems can also be affected. { Warning If different sized wheels are used, there may not be an acceptable level of performance and safety if tyres not recommended for those wheels are selected. This increases the chance of a crash and serious (Continued) Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 294 VEHICLE CARE Warning (Continued) injury. Only use GM specific wheel and tyre systems developed for the vehicle, and have them properly installed by a GM certified technician. See Buying New Tyres 0 292 and Accessories and Modifications 0 246. Wheel Alignment and Tyre Balance The tyres and wheels were aligned and balanced at the factory to provide the longest tyre life and best overall performance. Adjustments to wheel alignment and tyre balancing are not necessary on a regular basis. Consider an alignment check if there is unusual tyre wear or the vehicle is significantly pulling to one side or the other. Some slight pull to the left or right, depending on the crown of the road and/or other road surface variations such as troughs or ruts, is normal. If the vehicle is vibrating when driving on a smooth road, the tyres and wheels may need to be rebalanced. See your dealer for proper diagnosis. Wheel Replacement Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked, or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks air, replace it. Some aluminium wheels can be repaired. See your dealer if any of these conditions exist. Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that is needed. Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset, and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces. Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts, or Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensors with new GM original equipment parts. { Warning Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be dangerous. It could affect the braking and handling of the vehicle. Tyres can lose air, and cause loss of control, causing a crash. Always use the correct wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for replacement. Caution The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tyre or tyre chain clearance to the body and chassis. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE Used Replacement Wheels { Warning Replacing a wheel with a used one is dangerous. How it has been used or how far it has been driven may be unknown. It could fail suddenly and cause a crash. When replacing wheels, use a new GM original equipment wheel. Tyre Chains Use tyre chains or other traction devices only when necessary. Before using tyre chains, check with the tyre manufacturer to make sure tyre chains are compatible with the tyres on the vehicle. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Tyre chains are only permitted on P245/40R18 93V size tyres. Install them on the rear tyres only, as tightly as possible with the ends securely fastened. Only use low profile tyre chains that are the proper size for the tyres and add no more than 6 mm thickness to the tyre tread and inner sidewall. Caution Do not install traction devices on the front tyres. Drive slowly and follow the cable manufacturer's instructions. If the cables are contacting the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If the contact continues, slow down until it stops. Caution To help avoid damage to the vehicle, drive slowly, do not spin the wheels, and readjust or remove the device if it contacts the vehicle. If a Tyre Goes Flat If the vehicle has run-flat tyres, there is no need to stop on the side of the road to change a flat tyre. See Run-Flat Tyres 0 282. 295 { Warning Special tools and procedures are required to service a run-flat tyre. If these special tools and procedures are not used, injury or vehicle damage may occur. Always be sure the proper tools and procedures, as described in the service manual, are used. It is unusual for a tyre to blow out while driving, especially if the tyres are maintained properly. See Tyres 0 280. If air goes out of a tyre, it is much more likely to leak out slowly. But if there is ever a blowout, here are a few tips about what to expect and what to do: If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre creates a drag that pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel firmly. Steer to maintain lane position, and then gently brake to a stop, well off the road, if possible. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 296 VEHICLE CARE A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a skid and may require the same correction as used in a skid. Stop pressing the accelerator pedal and steer to straighten the vehicle. It may be very bumpy and noisy. Gently brake to a stop, well off the road, if possible. { Warning Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to do maintenance or repairs is dangerous without the appropriate safety equipment and training. If a jack is provided with the vehicle, it is designed only for changing a flat tyre. If it is used for anything else, you or others could be badly injured or killed if the vehicle slips off the jack. If a jack is provided with the vehicle, only use it for changing a flat tyre. If this vehicle does not have run-flat tyres and a tyre goes flat, avoid further tyre and wheel damage by driving slowly to a level place, well off the road, if possible. 1. Turn on the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard Warning Flashers 0 153. 2. Apply the parking brake firmly. 3. Put an automatic transmission in P (Park) or a manual gearbox in 1 (First) or R (Reverse). 4. Turn off the ignition. 5. Inspect the flat tyre. { Warning Driving on a flat tyre will cause permanent damage to the tyre. Re-inflating a tyre after it has been driven on while severely underinflated or flat may cause a blowout and a serious crash. Never attempt to re-inflate a tyre that has been driven on while severely underinflated or flat. Have your dealer or an authorised tyre service centre repair or replace the flat tyre as soon as possible. If this vehicle has a tyre sealant kit and the tyre has been separated from the wheel, has damaged sidewalls, or has a puncture larger than 6 mm (0.25 in), the tyre is too severely damaged for the tyre sealant and compressor kit to be effective. If the tyre has a puncture less than 6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread area of the tyre, see Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit 0 296. Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit { Warning Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with poor ventilation is dangerous. Engine exhaust may enter the vehicle. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. Never run the engine in an enclosed area that has no fresh air ventilation. For more information, see Engine Exhaust 0 195. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE { Warning Overinflating a tyre could cause the tyre to rupture and you or others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow the tyre sealant and compressor kit instructions and inflate the tyre to its recommended pressure. Do not exceed the recommended pressure. { Warning Storing the tyre sealant and compressor kit or other equipment in the passenger compartment of the vehicle could cause injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store the tyre sealant and compressor kit in its original location. 297 If this vehicle has a tyre sealant and compressor kit, there may not be a spare tyre, tyre changing equipment, and on some vehicles there may not be a place to store a tyre. The tyre sealant and compressor can be used to temporarily seal punctures up to 6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread area of the tyre. It can also be used to inflate an under inflated tyre. If the tyre has been separated from the wheel, has damaged sidewalls, or has a large puncture, the tyre is too severely damaged for the tyre sealant and compressor kit to be effective.

Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies anti-corrosion material to parts repaired or replaced to restore corrosion protection. To prevent dirt particle abrasions, regularly clean the vehicle's interior. Immediately remove any soiling. Newspapers or dark garments can transfer colour to the vehicle's interior. Underbody Maintenance At least twice a year, spring and fall, use plain water to flush any corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care to thoroughly clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Do not directly power wash the transfer case and/or front/rear axle output seals. High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the fluid. Contaminated fluid will decrease the life of the transfer case and/or axles and should be replaced. Original manufacturer replacement parts will provide the corrosion protection while maintaining the vehicle warranty. Finish Damage Quickly repair minor chips and scratches with touch-up materials available from your dealer to avoid corrosion. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected in your dealer's body and paint shop. Chemical Paint Spotting Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted vehicle surfaces causing blotchy, ring-shaped discolourations, and small, irregular dark spots etched into the paint surface. See “Finish Care” previously in this section. Use a soft bristle brush to remove dust from knobs and crevices on the instrument cluster. Using a mild soap solution, immediately remove hand lotions, sunscreen, and insect repellent from all interior surfaces or permanent damage may result. Use cleaners specifically designed for the surfaces being cleaned to prevent permanent damage. Apply all cleaners directly to the cleaning cloth. Do not spray cleaners on any switches or controls. Remove cleaners quickly. Before using cleaners, read and follow all safety instructions on the label. While cleaning the interior, open the doors and windows to get proper ventilation. To prevent damage, do not clean the interior using the following cleaners or techniques: Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 314 . VEHICLE CARE Never use a razor or any other sharp object to remove soil from any interior surface. . Never use a brush with stiff bristles. . Never rub any surface aggressively or with too much pressure. . Do not use laundry detergents or dishwashing soaps with degreasers. For liquid cleaners, use approximately 20 drops per 3.8 L (1 gal) of water. A concentrated soap solution will create streaks and attract dirt. Do not use solutions that contain strong or caustic soap. . Do not heavily saturate the upholstery when cleaning. . Do not use solvents or cleaners containing solvents. Interior Glass To clean, use a terry cloth fabric dampened with water. Wipe droplets left behind with a clean dry cloth. If necessary, use a commercial glass cleaner after cleaning with plain water. Caution To prevent scratching, never use abrasive cleaners on automotive glass. Abrasive cleaners or aggressive cleaning may damage the rear window defogger. Cleaning the windscreen with water during the first three to six months of ownership will reduce tendency to fog. Speaker Covers Vacuum around a speaker cover gently, so that the speaker will not be damaged. Clean spots with water and mild soap. Coated Mouldings Coated mouldings should be cleaned. . When lightly soiled, wipe with a sponge or soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water. . When heavily soiled, use warm soapy water. Fabric/Carpet/Suede Start by vacuuming the surface using a soft brush attachment. If a rotating vacuum brush attachment is being used, only use it on the floor carpet. Before cleaning, gently remove as much of the soil as possible: . Gently blot liquids with a paper towel. Continue blotting until no more soil can be removed. . For solid soil, remove as much as possible prior to vacuuming. To clean: 1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colour-fast cloth with water. Microfiber cloth is recommended to prevent lint transfer to the fabric or carpet. 2. Remove excess moisture by gently wringing until water does not drip from the cleaning cloth. 3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and gently rub toward the centre. Fold the cleaning cloth to a clean area frequently to prevent forcing the soil in to the fabric. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 VEHICLE CARE 4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled area until there is no longer any colour transfer from the soil to the cleaning cloth. 5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild soap solution followed only by plain water. If the soil is not completely removed, it may be necessary to use a commercial upholstery cleaner or spot lifter. Test a small hidden area for colourfastness before using a commercial upholstery cleaner or spot lifter. If ring formation occurs, clean the entire fabric or carpet. After cleaning, use a paper towel to blot excess moisture. Cleaning High Gloss Surfaces and Vehicle Information and Radio Displays Use a microfibre cloth on high gloss surfaces or vehicle displays. First, use a soft bristle brush to remove dirt that can scratch the surface. Then gently clean by rubbing with a microfibre cloth. Never use window cleaners or solvents. Periodically hand wash the microfibre cloth separately, using mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and air dry before next use. Caution Do not attach a device with a suction cup to the display. This may cause damage and would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Instrument Panel, Leather, Vinyl, Other Plastic Surfaces, Low Gloss Paint Surfaces, and Natural Open Pore Wood Surfaces Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water to remove dust and loose dirt. For a more thorough cleaning, use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. 315 Caution Soaking or saturating leather, especially perforated leather, as well as other interior surfaces, may cause permanent damage. Wipe excess moisture from these surfaces after cleaning and allow them to dry naturally. Never use heat, steam, or spot removers. Do not use cleaners that contain silicone or wax-based products. Cleaners containing these solvents can permanently change the appearance and feel of leather or soft trim, and are not recommended. Do not use cleaners that increase gloss, especially on the instrument panel. Reflected glare can decrease visibility through the windscreen under certain conditions. Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-11374014) 2018 - crc - 9/14/17 316 VEHICLE CARE Caution { Warning Use of air fresheners may cause permanent damage to plastics and painted surfaces. If an air freshener comes in contact with any plastic or painted surface in the vehicle, blot immediately and clean with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Damage caused by air fresheners would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not bleach or dye seat belt webbing. It may severely weaken the webbing. In a crash, they might not be able to provide adequate protection. Clean and rinse seat belt webbing only with mild soap and lukewarm water. Allow the webbing to dry.
