This code will help you identify your vehicle’s engine, speciﬁcations, and replacement parts. Service Parts Identiﬁcation Label You will ﬁnd this label on your spare tire cover. It is very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this label, you will ﬁnd the following: (cid:127) VIN (cid:127) Model designation (cid:127) Paint information (cid:127) Production options and special equipment Do not remove this label from the vehicle. This is the legal identiﬁer for your vehicle. It appears on a plate in the front corner of the instrument panel, on the driver’s side. You can see it if you look through the windshield from outside your vehicle. The VIN also appears on the Vehicle Certiﬁcation and Service Parts labels and the certiﬁcates of title and registration. 445 Electrical System Add-On Electrical Equipment Notice: Do not add anything electrical to your vehicle unless you check with your dealer ﬁrst. Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle and the damage would not be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other components from working as they should. Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery, even if your vehicle is not operating. Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to add anything electrical to your vehicle, see Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 84. Windshield Wiper Fuses The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal circuit breaker. If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow, the wipers will stop until the motor cools and will then restart. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers protect the power windows and power seats. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is ﬁxed or goes away. 446 Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of ﬁres caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. If a fuse blows, see your dealer for service immediately. If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without – like the radio or cigarette lighter – and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can. The fuses are located in three fuse blocks, one located in the engine compartment on the passenger’s side and the other two under the rear seat. Underhood Fuse Block The underhood fuse block is located in the engine compartment on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on page 342 for more information on location. To access the fuses, push in the two tabs located on each side of the fuse block cover. Then lift the cover off. 447 Relays HI BEAM Usage RELAY MICRO High-Beam Headlamps DRL RELAY MICRO-OPT Daytime Running Lamps LO BEAM RELAY/HID MINI-OPT Low-Beam Headlamps HDLP WASH RELAY MINI-OPT SPARE BLOWER Headlamp Washer Motor Not Used Front Blower RELAY MINI FOG LAMP RELAY MICRO Fog Lamps MAIN RELAY MICRO Powertrain/Engine Control Module (ECM) CMP CLU Starter Solenoid STARTER RELAY MINI RELAY MICRO Compressor Clutch IGN-1 RELAY Ignition Switch (ON) MICRO Relays Usage LO SPEED FAN Low Speed Fan Motor RELAY MINI HI SPEED FAN RELAY MINI High Speed Fan Motor ACCESSORY RELAY MINI Wipe-Wash S/P FAN Series/Parallel Fan RELAY MINI PARK LAMP RELAY MICRO Parking Lamps HORN RELAY Horn MICRO 448 Wiring Usage Harnesses BODY W/H Wiring Harness Connection BODY W/H Wiring Harness Connection ENG W/H Engine Wiring Harness Connection J Cases R REAR R REAR L REAR L REAR HI FAN LO FAN BLOWER STARTER ABS Usage RRPDB (Passenger’s Side Rear Power Distribution Box) RRPDB (Passenger’s Side Rear Power Distribution Box) LRPDB (Driver’s Side Rear Power Distribution Box) LRPDB (Driver’s Side Rear Power Distribution Box) High Cooling Fan Motor Low Cooling Fan Motor PWM Fan Motor Assembly Starter Solenoid Anti-Lock Brake System Fuses RT PARK HORN Usage Passenger’s Side Taillamp Assembly, Front Sidemarker and Front Parking Lamp Assembly Dual Horn Assembly LT HI BEAM Driver’s Side High-Beam Headlamp LT LOW BEAM Driver’s Side Low-Beam Headlamp RT LOW BEAM Passenger’s Side Low-Beam RT HI BEAM Passenger’s Side High-Beam Headlamp TOS SPARE THEFT LT PARK DIMMING DIM/ALDL FLASHER ECM Headlamp Manual Transmission Output Speed Sensor Not Used ECM (Engine Control Module), TCM (Transmission Control Module), PASS-Key® III+ Module Driver’s Side Taillamp Assembly, Front Sidemarker and Front Parking Lamp Assembly Rear License Plate Assembly, Dash Integrated Module (DIM) DIM, ALDL (Assembly Line Data Link) Turn Signal/Hazard Flasher Module Electronic Control Module 449 Fuses STRG CTLS HTR VLV/ CLTCH WASH NOZ PRE O2/CAM TCM/IPC SPARE Usage Turn Signal Switch, Cruise Control Switch Clutch Switch (Normal Closed), Clutch Switch (Normal Open), Jumper to Start Relay Coil for Automatic Transmission Driver’s and Passenger’s Side Heated Washer Nozzles Driver’s & Passenger’s Side Oxygen Sensors, CAM Phaser, Canister Purge Transmission Control Module, Engine Control Module, Instrument Panel Cluster Not Used IGN MOD/MAF Mass Airﬂow Sensor ELEC PRNDL Electronic PRNDL (Export) SPARE SPARE IGN SW Not Used Not Used Ignition Switch (Power to IGN-3 and CRANK) VOLT CHECK DIM (Dash Integration Module) ECM/TCM TCM (Transmission Control Module), ECM (Engine Control Module), IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster), PASS-Key® III+ Module WPR MOD Windshield Wiper Module Assembly 450 Fuses Usage ODD INJ/COIL Odd Ignition Coils, Fuel Injectors, Odd Injection Coils COMP CLUTCH Compressor Clutch WPR SW FOG LAMP OUTLET POST 02 I/P OUTLET CCP Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch Fog Lamps Center Console Accessory Power Outlet Driver’s and Passenger’s Side Oxygen Sensors, LRPDB (Pusher Cooling Fan Relay) Instrument Panel Accessory Power Outlet Climate Control EVEN INJ/COIL Even Injection Coils SPARE SPARE SPARE Not Used Not Used Not Used Circuit Breakers HDLP WASH C/B-OPT Usage Headlamp Washer Motor Misc.

Maintenance Requirements Notice: Maintenance intervals, checks, inspections, replacement parts, and recommended ﬂuids and lubricants as prescribed in this manual are necessary to keep your vehicle in good working condition. Any damage caused by failure to follow scheduled maintenance may not be covered by warranty. Have you purchased the GM Protection Plan? The Plan supplements your new vehicle warranties. See your Warranty and Owner Assistance booklet or your dealer for details. 460 Your Vehicle and the Environment Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good working condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance is important. Improper vehicle maintenance can even affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper ﬂuid levels or the wrong tire inﬂation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicle. To help protect our environment, and to keep your vehicle in good condition, be sure to maintain your vehicle properly. Using the Maintenance Schedule We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we do not know exactly how you will drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or you may drive it to work, to do errands, or in many other ways. Because of all the different ways people use their vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may need more frequent checks and replacements. So please read the following and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your GM Goodwrench® dealer. 461 This schedule is for vehicles that: (cid:127) carry passengers and cargo within recommended limits. You will ﬁnd these limits on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 321. (cid:127) are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal driving limits. (cid:127) use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline Octane on page 334. The services in Scheduled Maintenance on page 463 should be performed when indicated. See Additional Required Services on page 466 and Maintenance Footnotes on page 467 for further information. {CAUTION: Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work only if you have the required know-how and the proper tools and equipment for the job. If you have any doubt, see your GM Goodwrench® dealer to have a qualiﬁed technician do the work. Some maintenance services can be complex. So, unless you are technically qualiﬁed and have the necessary equipment, you should have your GM Goodwrench® dealer do these jobs. When you go to your GM Goodwrench® dealer for your service needs, you will know that GM-trained and supported service technicians will perform the work using genuine GM parts. 462 If you want to purchase service information, see Service Publications Ordering Information on page 501. Owner Checks and Services on page 469 tells you what should be checked, when to check it, and what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition. The proper replacement parts, ﬂuids, and lubricants to use are listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 474 and Normal Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 476. When your vehicle is serviced, make sure these are used. All parts should be replaced and all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle. We recommend the use of genuine GM parts. Scheduled Maintenance When the Change Engine Oil message in the Driver Information Center (DIC) comes on, it means that service is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible within the next 600 miles (1 000 km). It is possible that, if you are driving under the best conditions, the engine oil life system may not indicate that vehicle service is necessary for over a year. However, your engine oil and ﬁlter must be changed at least once a year and at this time the system must be reset. Your GM Goodwrench® dealer has GM-trained service technicians who will perform this work using genuine GM parts and reset the system. 463 If the engine oil life system is ever reset accidentally, you must service your vehicle within 3,000 miles (5 000 km) since your last service. Remember to reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. See Engine Oil Life System on page 350 for information on the Engine Oil Life System and resetting the system. When the Change Engine Oil message appears, certain services, checks, and inspections are required. Required services are described in the following for “Maintenance I” and “Maintenance II.” Generally, it is recommended that your ﬁrst service be Maintenance I, your second service be Maintenance II, and that you alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance II thereafter. However, in some cases, Maintenance II may be required more often. Maintenance I — Use Maintenance I if the change engine oil message comes on within 10 months since the vehicle was purchased or Maintenance II was performed. Maintenance II — Use Maintenance II if the previous service performed was Maintenance I. Always use Maintenance II whenever the message comes on 10 months or more since the last service or if the message has not come on at all for one year. 464 Scheduled Maintenance Service Maintenance I Maintenance II Change engine oil and ﬁlter.

This service can be complex; you should have your dealer perform this service. See Brakes on page 372. (k) A ﬂuid loss in any vehicle system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired and the ﬂuid level checked. Add ﬂuid if needed. (l) Change ﬂuid if the vehicle is used for high performance operation. (m) Change ﬂuid whenever the vehicle has been driven for 3,000 miles (5 000 km) with the transmission temperature at 290°F (143°C) or higher without using an auxiliary ﬂuid cooler. See Message Center (CTS-V) on page 209 and Transmission Fluid Hot Message on page 214. (n) If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, inspect the ﬁlter at each engine oil change. (p) Visually inspect belt for fraying, excessive cracks, or obvious damage. Replace belt if necessary. Owner Checks and Services These owner checks and services should be performed at the intervals speciﬁed to help ensure the safety, dependability, and emission control performance of your vehicle. Your GM Goodwrench® dealer can assist you with these checks and services. Be sure any necessary repairs are completed at once. Whenever any ﬂuids or lubricants are added to your vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones, as shown in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 474. 469 At Least Once a Month Tire Inﬂation Check Visually inspect your vehicle’s tires and make sure they are inﬂated to the correct pressures. Do not forget to check the spare tire. See Tires on page 392 for further details. Check to make sure the spare tire is stored securely. See Changing a Flat Tire (CTS Only) on page 424. Tire Wear Inspection Tire rotation may be required for high mileage highway drivers prior to the Engine Oil Life System service notiﬁcation. Check the tires for wear and, if necessary, rotate the tires. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 409. It is important to check your oil At Each Fuel Fill It is important to perform these underhood checks at each fuel ﬁll. Engine Oil Level Check Check the engine oil level and add the proper oil if necessary. See Engine Oil on page 346 for further details. Notice: regularly and keep it at the proper level. Failure to keep your engine oil at the proper level can cause damage to your engine not covered by your warranty.

Normally, any concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of your vehicle will be resolved by your dealer’s sales or service departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken: STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already been reviewed with the sales, service or parts manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the general manager. STEP TWO: If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealership without further help, in the United States, contact the Cadillac Customer Assistance Center, 24 hours a day, by calling 1-800-458-8006. In Canada, contact the Canadian Cadillac Customer Communication Centre by calling 1-888-446-2000. We encourage you to call the toll-free number in order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Please have the following information available to give the Customer Assistance Representative: (cid:127) Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate at the top left of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield. (cid:127) Dealership name and location. (cid:127) Vehicle delivery date and present mileage. When contacting Cadillac, please remember that your concern will likely be resolved at a dealer’s facility. That is why we suggest you follow Step One ﬁrst if you have a concern. 482 STEP THREE (United States Owners): Both General Motors and your dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisﬁed with your new vehicle. However, if you continue to remain unsatisﬁed after following the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you should ﬁle with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to enforce your rights. The BBB Auto Line Program is an out of court program administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus to settle automotive disputes regarding vehicle repairs or the interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Although you may be required to resort to this informal dispute resolution program prior to ﬁling a court action, use of the program is free of charge and your case will generally be heard within 40 days. If you do not agree with the decision given in your case, you may reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief available to you. You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address: BBB Auto Line Program Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. 4200 Wilson Boulevard Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22203-1838 Telephone: 1-800-955-5100 This program is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Eligibility is limited by vehicle age, mileage and other factors. General Motors reserves the right to change eligibility limitations and/or discontinue its participation in this program. 483 For further information concerning eligibility in the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP), call toll-free 1-800-207-0685. Alternatively you may call the General Motors Customer Communication Centre, 1-800-263-3777 (English), 1-800-263-7854 (French), or you may write to the Mediation/Arbitration Program at the following address. Your inquiry should be accompanied by your Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number (VIN). Mediation/Arbitration Program c/o Customer Communication Centre General Motors of Canada Limited Mail Code: CA1–163–005 1908 Colonel Sam Drive Oshawa, Ontario L1H 8P7 STEP THREE (Canadian Owners): General Motors Participation in the Mediation/Arbitration Program In the event that you do not feel your concerns have been addressed after the following the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two. General Motors of Canada Limited wants you to be aware of its participation in a no-charge mediation/Arbitration program. General Motors of Canada Limited has committed to binding arbitration of owner disputes involving factory-related vehicle service claims. The program provides for the review of the facts involved by an impartial third party arbiter, and may include an informal hearing before the arbiter. The program is designed so that the entire dispute settlement process, from the time you ﬁle your complaint to the ﬁnal decision, should be completed in approximately 70 days. We believe our impartial program offers advantages over courts in most jurisdictions because it is informal, quick, and free of charge. 484 Online Owner Center Online Owner Center (United States only) The Owner Center is a resource for your GM ownership needs.
