Universal Remote System Programming

This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices.

Do not use the Universal Home Remote with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Home Remote. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you with programming the Universal Home Remote. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home Remote programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The DRL system will make either the reduced intensity low‐beam headlamps or dedicated DRLs come on when the following conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is in ON/RUN or START. The exterior lamp control is in off or AUTO and the headlamps are off. The automatic transmission is not in P (Park).

When DRLs are on, only the reduced intensity low‐beam headlamps or dedicated DRLs will be on. The other exterior lamps and the instrument panel cluster will not be on. When the exterior lamp control is in AUTO and it is dark enough outside, the DRL turns off and the low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go off, and the DRL will turn back on. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. Once the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes about one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness lever is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control on page 6‑5.

Lighting

6-3

Turning the exterior lamp control to off or to the low-beam headlamp position will turn off the DRL. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still turn off. This will work regardless of gear position and whether or not the parking brake is set.

Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamps control is in the automatic position, the headlamps come on automatically. See Exterior Lamp Controls on page 6‑1. The vehicle has a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or the headlamps will be on when they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel.

Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) The Adaptive Forward Lighting System (AFL) pivots the headlamps horizontally to provide greater road illumination while turning. To enable AFL, set the exterior lamp switch on the multifunction lever to the AUTO position. Moving the switch 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; driving a short distance is required to calibrate the AFL. See Exterior Lamp Controls on page 6‑1.

Hazard Warning Flashers | Hazard Warning Flasher: Press this button located on the instrument panel near the audio system, to make the front and rear turn signal lamps flash on and off.

This warns others that you are having trouble. Press again to turn the flashers off.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals

An arrow on the instrument panel cluster flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn. Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it briefly until the lane change is complete. The arrow will automatically flash three times.

The lever returns to its starting position when it is released. If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrow flashes rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may be burned out. Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out, check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 10‑41.

Turn Signal On Chime If the turn signal is left on for about 1.6 km (1 mile), a warning chime will sound and the TURN SIGNAL ON message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal On” under Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑27 for more information.

Lighting Features

Entry Lighting The headlamps, taillamps, license plate lamps, reverse lamps, dome lamps, and most of the interior lights turn on briefly, when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) K is pressed, or when the door handle is pulled on a Keyless Access Vehicle. See Ignition Positions (Key Access) on page 9‑17 or Ignition Positions (Keyless Access) on page 9‑18. After about 30 seconds the exterior lamps turn off, and then the dome and remaining interior lights will dim to off. Entry lighting can be disabled manually by changing the ignition out of the OFF position, or by pressing the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Q button. This feature can be changed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑46.

Exit Lighting The headlamps, taillamps, parking lamps, reverse lamps, and license plate lamps come on at night, or in areas with limited lighting, when the key is removed from the ignition. The dome lamps also come on when the key is removed from the ignition. The exterior lights and dome lamps remain on after the door is closed for a set amount of time, then automatically turn off. For a vehicle with Keyless Access, the exterior lights and dome lamps automatically turn on when a door is opened after the ignition is turned off. See Ignition Positions (Key Access) on page 9‑17 or Ignition Positions (Keyless Access) on page 9‑18. The exterior lights turn off immediately by turning the exterior lamps control to OFF. This feature can be changed. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑46.

Parade Dimming This feature does not let the instrument panel backlight dim during daylight hours while the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. Parade dimming automatically works with the light sensor, located on top of the dashboard. If it is dark enough outside and the parking lamps are on, the backlight on the instrument panel can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lighting. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control on page 6‑5.

Battery Load Management The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.

Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (7,1)

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 Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. 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, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, 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.

Lighting

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 Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE or BATTERY VOLTS LOW. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 5‑27.

Battery Power Protection This feature helps to prevent battery drain if accessory lamps are left on. If accessory lamps such as the vanity mirror, cargo, reading, console, or glove box are left on, they automatically time-out after about 20 minutes. To reset the battery protection, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the ignition must be in the ACC/ ACCESSORY position.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been left on. This protects against draining the battery. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF. To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, turn the lamps back on with the exterior lamp control.
