Power Outlets
Power Outlet 12 Volt Direct
Current
The accessory power outlets can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets:
. Inside the front storage bin
below the climate control
system.
. On the rear of the center floor
console.
Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload a vehicle circuit breaker or
adapter fuse. If overloaded, the
circuit breaker will reset after all
devices are disconnected or if
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is
turned off and then back on. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0 195. Wait one minute to allow the
circuit breaker to reset before

Cadillac ATS/ATS-V Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-MidEast-9369639) -

reconnecting devices or turning
RAP back on. If the problem
continues, the issue could be within
your device. Try another known
good device to make sure the circuit
breaker is operating properly. If this
does not resolve your problem, see
your dealer.
It is possible to replace the factory
power outlet with a cigar lighter
receptacle, if desired. This requires
the factory installed circuit breaker
to be replaced with a standard
minifuse by the dealer. A minifuse
will not reset and will have to be
replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse could
overheat the cigar lighter and
damage the vehicle.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0243.
Caution
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.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the
maximum 15 amps rating.
Power Outlet 220/230 Volt
Alternating Current
If equipped, this power outlet is on
the rear of the center floor console.
It can be used to plug in electrical
equipment that uses a maximum
limit of 150 watts.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is in
ON/RUN/START, equipment
requiring less than 150 watts is
plugged into the outlet, and no
system fault is detected. The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or
if the equipment is not fully seated
into the outlet.
If equipment is connected using
more than 150 watts or a system
fault is detected, a protection circuit
shuts off the power supply and the
indicator light turns off. To reset the
circuit, unplug the item and plug it
back in or turn the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) off and
then back on. See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0195. The
power restarts when equipment
using 150 watts or less is plugged
into the outlet and a system fault is
not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following and may not work
properly, if this equipment is
plugged in:
. Equipment with high initial peak
wattage such as:
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.

To ensure proper engine
performance and long life, careful
attention must be paid to engine oil.
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 0256.
. Always dispose of engine oil
properly. See “What to Do with
Used Oil” in this section.
Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the engine
oil level at each fuel fill. In order to
get an accurate reading, the vehicle must be on level ground. The
engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
See
Engine Compartment Overview
0 247 for the location of the engine
oil dipstick.
1. If the engine has been running recently, turn off the engine and
allow several minutes for the oil
to drain back into the oil pan.
Checking the oil level too soon
after engine shutoff will not
provide an accurate oil level
reading.
{Warning
The engine oil dipstick handle
may be hot; it could burn you.
Use a towel or glove to touch the
dipstick handle.
2. Pull out the dipstick and 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.

replacement number shown on the
original battery label when a new
battery is needed.
{Warning
Do not use a match or flame near
a vehicle's battery. If you need
more light, use a flashlight.
Do not smoke near a vehicle's
battery.
When working around a vehicle’s
battery, shield your eyes with
protective glasses.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Keep children away from vehicle
batteries.
{Warning
Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode.
You can be hurt badly if you are
not careful.
Follow instructions carefully when
working around a battery.
Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds which can
cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
After a power loss, such as
disconnecting the battery or
removing the maxi fuses in the
power distribution fuse block, the
following steps must be performed to calibrate the electronic throttle
control. If this is not done, the
engine will not run properly.
1. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Leave the ignition on for at least three minutes so that the
electronic throttle control will
cycle and relearn its home
position.
3. Turn the ignition off.
4. Start and run the engine for at least 30 seconds.
Vehicle Storage
Infrequent Usage: Remove the
black, negative (−) cable from the
battery to keep the battery from
running down.
Extended Storage: Remove the
black, negative (−) cable from the
battery or use a battery trickle
charger.
