When the system detects a vehicle ahead in your path that is traveling 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. See Front Automatic Braking (FAB) System 0 244.


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 turn signal in that direction. It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert as the lane marking is crossed. The system will not assist or 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). See Lane Departure Warning (LDW) 0 248 and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 0 248.


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 turn signal is on. The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system is included as part of the LCA system. See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) 0 246 and Lane Change Alert (LCA) 0 246.


Surround Vision (CTS Only) If equipped, views around the vehicle display on the center stack to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers. See “Surround Vision” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico- 9159276) - 2016 - crc - 5/7/15


Front Vision Camera If equipped, a view of the area in front of the vehicle displays on the center stack to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers. See “Front Vision Camera” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Curb View Camera (CTS-V Only) If equipped, a view of the area in front of the vehicle displays on the center stack to aid with parking and low-speed maneuvers. The display shows a front, top down view at the top of the screen and left and right front camera images on the bottom. See “Curb View Camera (CTS-V Series Only)” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Rear Vision Camera (RVC) If equipped, RVC displays a view of the area behind the vehicle on the center stack display when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to aid with parking and low-speed backing maneuvers. See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) System If equipped, the RCTA system uses a triangle with an arrow displayed on the RVC screen to warn of traffic behind your vehicle that may cross your vehicle's path while in R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will sound, or the driver seat will pulse. See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Parking Assist If equipped, Rear Parking Assist (RPA) uses sensors on the rear bumper to assist with parking

and avoiding objects while in R (Reverse). It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may display a warning triangle on the Rear Vision Camera screen and a graphic on the instrument cluster to provide the object distance. In addition, multiple beeps or seat pulses may occur if very close to an object. The vehicle may also have the Front Parking Assist system. See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Automatic Parking Assist (APA) If equipped, the APA system helps to search for and maneuver the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spots using automatic steering, DIC displays, and beeps. When the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph), press O to enable the system. See “Automatic Parking Assist (APA)” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.

In Brief


Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) System If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the RAB system, which is designed to help avoid or reduce the harm caused by backing crashes when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). If the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid a crash with a detected object behind your vehicle in your path, it may automatically brake hard to a stop. See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing 0 235.


Power Outlets


Power Outlets 12 Volt Direct Current Accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3 player. The vehicle has three 12-volt accessory power outlets:


Inside the center console storage in front of the armrest cover.


Inside the storage area under the armrest cover.


. On the rear of the center


console, if equipped.


These outlets are powered while the vehicle is in ON/RUN/START or ACC/ACCESSORY mode, or until the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of turning off the vehicle. Lift the cover to access the accessory power outlet. See Power Outlets 0 111.


Universal Remote System


If equipped, 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. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Remote system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you with programming the Universal Remote system. See Universal Remote System 0 159.


Sunroof If equipped, the sunroof will only operate when the ignition is in ON/ RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY, or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Ignition Positions 0 202 and Retained Accessory Power (RAP) 0 206.

See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 216. The vehicle has Driver Mode Control and may have Competitive Driving Mode. See Driver Mode Control 0 218 and Competitive Driving Mode (V-Sport and V-Series Only) 0 221.


Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).


The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 198. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The low tire 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 may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure. The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures.


See Tire Pressure Monitor System 0 310.


Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and displays the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message when it is time to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change.


Resetting the Oil Life System 1. Using the DIC buttons, display REMAINING OIL LIFE on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0 134 and Engine Oil Messages 0 142.


2. Press the SEL button and hold to clear the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message and reset the oil life at 100%. Be careful not to reset the oil life display accidentally at any time other than after the oil is changed. It cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.

smoothly.


. Brake gradually and avoid


abrupt stops.


. Avoid idling the engine for long


periods of time.


. When road and weather


conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.


. Always follow posted speed


limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.


. Keep vehicle tires properly


inflated.


. Combine several trips into a


single trip.


. Replace the vehicle's tires with


the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near the size.
