2011 Cadillac DTS Owners Manual

. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to

slow your vehicle enough to avoid a crash when you are driving in conditions where vehicles may suddenly slow or stop ahead of you, enter your lane, or cross your vehicle's path. If you are driving in these conditions, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control. The warning beep and alert symbol may indicate that you are driving in conditions where Adaptive Cruise Control should not be used. See “Alerting the Driver” in this section.

. On slippery roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.

(Continued)

. When weather limits visibility, such as when in fog, rain, or snow conditions, Adaptive Cruise Control performance is limited. There may not be enough distance to adapt to the changing traffic conditions. Do not use cruise control when visibility is low.

The ACCs are located on the steering wheel. The cruise control buttons are located on left side of the steering wheel.

Increasing Set Speed While Using ACC If the ACC is already activated,

. Press the +RES button. Hold it there until the desired set speed is displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC), then release the switch. To increase the set speed in small amounts, move the switch briefly to +RES. Each time this is done, the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph). Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the system determines there is not a vehicle in front of you. At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the set speed. Decreasing Set Speed While Using ACC If the ACC is already activated,

. Press the SET– button until the lower speed

desired is reached, then release it. To slow down in small amounts, briefly press the SET– button. Each time this is done, the set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) slower.

Resuming a Set Speed If the ACC is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied, the ACC is disengaged without erasing the set speed from memory.

Once the vehicle speed is 40 km/h (25 mph) or greater, press the +RES button. The vehicle returns to the previously set speed and stays there. Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP) When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it adjusts your vehicle speed and maintains the follow distance (gap) you select. Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering wheel to adjust the follow distance. Press the plus button to increase the distance or the minus button to decrease the distance. The first button press shows the current follow distance setting on the DIC. The current follow distance setting will be maintained until it is changed. There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (one second to two seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a selected follow distance will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed the further back your vehicle will follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the follow distance. The range of selectable distances may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to travel at a follow distance farther than ACC allows, disengage the system and drive manually.

Alerting the Driver

The ACC alert symbol is located on the display at the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver.

The alert symbol flashes and a warning beep sounds when driver action may be required. If ACC is engaged, the alert symbol will flash when:

. ACC cannot apply sufficient braking because you

are approaching a vehicle too rapidly. The vehicle speed drops below about 32 km/h (20 mph).

. A temporary condition prohibits ACC from

operating. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62 for more information.

. A malfunction is detected in the system. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62 for more information.

See Defensive Driving on page 5‑2.

{ WARNING:

Adaptive Cruise Control has only limited braking ability to slow your vehicle. In some cases, Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes yourself. See Defensive Driving on page 5‑2.

Approaching and Following a Vehicle

The vehicle ahead symbol is located on the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver.

The vehicle ahead symbol only appears when a vehicle is detected in your path. If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly, ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.

4-18

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (19,1)

{ WARNING:

When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a vehicle ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning the System” later in this section.

Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects

{ WARNING:

Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow‐moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. You could crash into an object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when approaching stationary or slow‐moving vehicles or other objects.

ACC automatically slows your vehicle down when approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts your vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front at the selected follow distance. Your 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 braking is active, your brake lights will come on. Braking may feel or sound different than if you were applying the brakes yourself. This is normal.

{ WARNING:

Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes lanes. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

4-19

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Curves in the Road

{ WARNING:

Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations in curves, it may respond to a vehicle in another lane, or may not have time to react to a vehicle in your lane. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose control of your vehicle. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to use the brakes if necessary. Select an appropriate speed while driving in curves.

ACC may operate differently in a sharp curve. It may reduce your vehicle speed if the curve is too sharp.

Low-Speed Deactivation If your vehicle speed falls below 32 km/h (20 mph) while following a vehicle ahead, ACC will begin to disengage. The Driver Alert symbol will flash and the warning beep will sound. The driver must take action since ACC will not slow the vehicle to a stop. Passing a Vehicle/ACC Override To increase speed to pass a vehicle, use the accelerator pedal. While you are doing this, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. A message will appear on the DIC. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62 . Once you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, ACC will return to normal operation and be able to apply the brakes, if needed.

{ WARNING:

If you rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal when using Adaptive Cruise Control.

Highway Exit Ramps

{ WARNING:

Adaptive Cruise Control may lose track of the vehicle ahead and accelerate up to your set speed while entering or on highway exit ramps. You could be startled by this acceleration and even lose control of the vehicle. Disengage Adaptive Cruise Control before entering a highway exit ramp. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control while entering or on exit ramps.

Other Vehicle Lane Changes

If another vehicle enters the same lane as you, ACC will not detect the vehicle until it is completely in the lane. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes yourself.

4-22

Using ACC on Hills and When Towing a Trailer

How well ACC will work on hills and when towing a trailer depends on your vehicle's speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the steepness of the hills. It may not detect a vehicle in your lane while driving on hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle's speed. When going downhill, especially when towing a trailer, you may want to brake to keep your speed down. Applying the brake disengages the system. You may choose not to use ACC on steep hills, especially when towing a trailer. Disengaging ACC To turn off the system, apply the brake pedal, press the cancel button, or press the ACC button.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

IntelliBeam® Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entire section before using it. IntelliBeam is an enhancement to the vehicle's headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on the rearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle's high-beam headlamps on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. The IntelliBeam system turns the high-beam headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other traffic present, and the IntelliBeam system is enabled. Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the inside rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror turns on to indicate the system is on. Once the system has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle is started, but the IntelliBeam system must be enabled. To enable the IntelliBeam system, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light appears on the instrument panel cluster when the high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light on page 4‑56.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (25,1)

Driving with IntelliBeam IntelliBeam only activates the high-beams when driving over 20 mph (32 km/h). The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the automatic control of IntelliBeam, until any of the following situations occur:

The system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps. The system detects a preceding vehicle's taillamps. The outside light is bright enough that high-beam headlamps are not required. The vehicle's speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h). The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the high-beam position or the flash-to-pass feature is used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 4‑6 and Flash-to-Pass on page 4‑10 . When either of these conditions occur, the IntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeam light in the mirror turns off until the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position. If IntelliBeam was using low-beams prior to this action, the IntelliBeam feature is temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral position.

The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting except AUTO. When this occurs, IntelliBeam is disabled until the control is turned back to the AUTO position. The IntelliBeam system is turned off at the inside rearview mirror.

IntelliBeam might not turn off the high-beams if the system cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because of any of the following:

The other vehicle's lamp(s) are missing, damaged, obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected. The other vehicle's lamp(s) are covered with dirt, snow, and/or road spray. The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot be detected due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other airborne obstructions. . Your vehicle's windshield is dirty, cracked,

or obstructed by something that blocks the view of the IntelliBeam light sensor.

. Your vehicle's windshield is covered with ice, dirt,

haze, or other obstructions.

. Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of

the vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and taillamps.

. You are driving on winding or hilly roads.

Cleaning the IntelliBeam Light Sensor

The light sensor is located on the inside of the vehicle in front of the inside rearview mirror.

Clean the light sensor window, periodically, using glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the sensor window. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the surface of the sensor window. Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers are turned on and have completed eight wipe cycles within four minutes. When the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps also turn off if the windshield wipers are turned off.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (27,1)

Headlamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver's door is opened with the ignition off. 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 makes the turn signal lamps come on when the following conditions are met:

It is still daylight and the ignition is on. The exterior lamp control is in the off position. The transmission is not in P (Park) (United States only). The light sensor is covered or not detecting light. See “Sensors” under Dual Climate Control System on page 4‑33 .

When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. The instrument panel will not be lit up either. When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enough outside, the turn signal lamps turn off and normal low-beam headlamp operation occurs.

When automatic lighting is on and it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps go off, and the DRL takes over. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if there is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 4‑29. Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps will deactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate. To idle the vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off automatic lighting and shift the transmission into P (Park). Placing the vehicle in P (Park) disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). To drive the vehicle with the DRL off, turn off automatic lighting and manually turn on the parking lamps or fog lamps, if the vehicle has them. The regular headlamp system should be turned on when needed.

Fog Lamps The fog lamps button is on the exterior lamps control to the left of the steering column. # (Fog Lamps): Press to turn the fog lamps on or off. A light comes on in the instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps are in use. See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 4‑43 . The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for the fog lamps to work. The fog lamps will go off when the headlamps are changed to high-beam. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. Cornering Lamps Cornering Lamps (If equipped) The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering.

Curbside Parking Lamps (If equipped) This feature makes it easier for others to see your vehicle while it is parallel parked. To illuminate the front parking lamp and the rear taillamp on the right side of the vehicle, do the following:

. With the ignition off, move the turn signal lever all

the way up as if you are signaling a right turn.

To illuminate the front parking lamp and the rear taillamp on the left side of your vehicle, do the following:

. With the ignition off, move the turn signal lever all

the way down as if you are signaling a left turn.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the exterior lamp button has been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF and a door has been opened. This protects against draining the battery if the headlamps or parking lamps are accidentally left on. If the lamps need to be left on for more than 10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF and any door is opened.

Instrument Panel Brightness D (Instrument Panel Brightness): This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel and footwell lights, if equipped. The button for this control is located below the exterior lamps control. Push the button in and release to extend the button. Turn the button clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lights. Courtesy Lamps The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner above the rear seat. These lamps come on by turning the instrument panel brightness knob fully clockwise or when any door is opened and it is dark outside. Puddle lamps are located on the bottom of the front and rear door trim. Professional vehicles have an additional dome lamp and also opera lamps. Entry Lighting This feature turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting for the door switches and the exterior lamp control when a door is opened or if the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button is pressed. If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting remains active for

about 40 seconds. Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is turned to ON/ RUN, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located on the overhead console on the headliner and in the rear door opening. These lamps come on automatically when any door is opened and it is dark outside. For manual operation, press the button to turn them on. Press it again to turn them off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (30,1)

Footwell Lamps For vehicles with footwell lamps, they are located under the instrument panel and at the rear of the front seats. These lamps provide soft light to the front and rear floor areas. They dim with the instrument panel cluster lights. Footwell lighting brightness can be adjusted with the instrument panel brightness control located below the exterior lamps control. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 4‑29 . The footwell lights will turn off before the instrument panel lights are at their lowest level of brightness. Battery Load Management This feature monitors the vehicle's electrical load and determines when the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when several of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans. If the battery continues to discharge, even with the engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs, the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm

4-30

as they usually do and the climate control fan may cut back to a lower speed. For more battery saving information, see “Battery Saver Active Message” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62. Electric Power 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. 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.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (31,1)

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 Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62 . Inadvertent Power Battery Saver This feature protects the vehicle battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to these features automatically turns off after 10 minutes. Power is restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door or trunk is opened, or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.

Battery Run-Down Protection This feature helps prevent the battery from being drained, if the interior courtesy lamps, reading/map lamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk lamp are accidentally left on. If any of these lamps are left on, they automatically turn off after 10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The lamps will not come back on again until one of the following occurs:

The ignition is turned on. The exterior lamps control is turned off, then on again.

The headlamps will timeout after 10 minutes, if they are manually turned on with the ignition on or off. Accessory Power Outlet(s) The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell phone or MP3
player. If the vehicle has a center console, the power outlet is located inside the lower storage area. Some vehicles may have an outlet on the right front lower part of the driver's seat and under the climate control system next to the ashtray. See Center Console Storage on page 3‑52 .

4-31

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (32,1)

There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seat area located on the door armrests next to the ashtrays. Remove the cover to access and replace when not in use. The accessory power outlet can be used at any time.

{ WARNING:

Power is always supplied to the outlets. Do not leave electrical equipment plugged in when the vehicle is not in use because the vehicle could catch fire and cause injury or death.

Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for an extended period of time while the vehicle is off will drain the battery. Always unplug electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating. Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses. If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.

When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. See Add-On Electrical Equipment on page 6‑102. Notice: Hanging heavy equipment from the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. The power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only, such as cell phone charge cords. Analog Clock The analog clock is located on the instrument panel above the radio. The clock is not connected with any other vehicle system and runs by itself. To adjust the clock:

1. Locate the adjustment button directly below the

clock face.

2. Push and hold the adjustment button to advance

Automatic Operation AUTO 9 (Automatic Fan): When this position is selected on the fan control, the system adjusts the fan speed. To use automatic operation:

1. Turn the fan control to the AUTO position. 2. Turn the air delivery mode to the AUTO position. 3. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting

between 21°C (68°F) and 26°C (78°F). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into the vehicle until warmer air is available. The system starts out blowing air at the floor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed to warm the interior depends on the outside temperature and temperature of the vehicle.

4. Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to stabilize in

order for the system to regulate automatically. Then adjust the temperature as necessary to find your comfort setting.

Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section. After the vehicle is started, the display shows the interior temperature settings and the outside temperature. If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode control, the system automatically controls the air conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will run automatically even at cool outside temperatures in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator light is lit when the system is operating automatically, even at near freezing outside temperatures. Press # on the fan control to turn off the A/C. For improved window clearing performance in defog or defrost modes, the A/C compressor runs automatically. h (AUTO RECIRCULATION): If the AUTO position is selected on either the fan or air delivery mode control, the system automatically controls the air inlet to supply fresh outside air or recirculate the interior air to cool the car faster. The light on the recirculation button will come on when the system changes to recirculation. Outside air can be forced by pressing h when the light is lit. For vehicles without rear climate controls, press : to force outside air. The next time AUTO fan or mode is selected, the air inlet will reset back to AUTO operation.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It ensures that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.

This light should come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.

If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp comes on and stays on, while the engine is running, this indicates that there is an OBD II problem and service is required. Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. Being aware of the light can prevent more serious damage to the vehicle. This system assists the service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (53,1)

Notice: If the vehicle is continually driven with this light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, the vehicle fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Notice: Modifications made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of the vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect the vehicle's emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modifications to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6‑3. This light comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing: A misfire condition has been detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. To prevent more serious damage to the vehicle:

. Reduce vehicle speed. . Avoid hard accelerations.

. Avoid steep uphill grades.

If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.

If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light is still flashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer for service as soon as possible. Light On Steady: An emission control system malfunction has been detected on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. The following may correct an emission system malfunction:

. Make sure the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling

the Tank on page 6‑9 . The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off.

. Make sure the electrical system is not wet. The

system could be wet if the vehicle was driven through a deep puddle of water.

4-53

Cadillac DTS Owner Manual - 2011

Black plate (54,1)

. Make sure to fuel the vehicle with quality fuel.

Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and can cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Gasoline Octane on page 6‑6.

If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle. The dealer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed. Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments may have programs to inspect the on-vehicle emission control equipment For the inspection, the emission system test equipment is connected to the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC).

4-54

The DLC is under the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. See your dealer if assistance is needed. The vehicle may not pass inspection if:

the Malfunction Indicator Lamp is on with the engine running, or if the light does not come on when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN while the engine is off. the critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system evaluates critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection, your dealer can prepare the vehicle for inspection.

FUEL RANGE This display shows the approximate number of remaining kilometers (km) or miles (mi) you can drive without refilling the fuel tank. This estimate is based on the current driving conditions and will change if the driving conditions change. For example, if you are driving in traffic and making frequent stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may change even though you still have the same amount of fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city driving.

Once the range drops below an estimated 64 km (40 miles) remaining, the display will show FUEL RANGE LOW. If your vehicle is low on fuel, the FUEL LEVEL LOW message will be displayed. See “FUEL LEVEL LOW” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑62 for more information. AVERAGE ECONOMY (AFE) This display shows the approximate average liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number is calculated based on the number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this display was reset. To reset this display, press the set/reset button. The display will return to zero. INST (Instantaneous) ECONOMY (IFE) This display shows the current fuel economy in either liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number reflects only the fuel economy that the vehicle has right now and will change frequently as driving conditions change. Unlike average economy, this display cannot be reset. FUEL USED This display shows the number of liters (L) or gallons (gal) of fuel used since the last reset of this display. To reset this display, press the set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
