located at the front of the armrest.
Map Pocket

well as on the back of the front seatbacks.
Roof Rack
{CAUTION:
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage
carrier — like paneling, plywood, a mattress
and so forth — the wind can catch it as you
drive along. This can cause you to lose
control. What you are carrying could be
violently torn off, and this could cause you or
other drivers to have a collision, and of course
damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry
something like this inside. But, never carry
something longer or wider than the luggage
carrier on top of your vehicle.
Your vehicle has mounting locations for the installation
of a roof rack or luggage carrier, which can be
obtained from your Cadillac dealer. The mounting
locations are on the roof rail. Open the doors to access
them. The threaded nuts are covered with a plastic
cap that must be removed before use.
For more information on purchasing the rack/carrier as
well as installation information, contact your Cadillac
dealer.

Convenience Net
The convenience net attaches to the oor and back wall
of the trunk using four anchor points allowing for two
positions. The net can be attached like a hammock
or anchored to lay at across the oor of the trunk. Put
small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store them in the
trunk as far forward as you can. When not using the net,
hook the net to the tabs securing it to the sill plate.
Sunroof
Your vehicle may have a power sunroof. It will operate
when the ignition is turned on, or in accessory, or
when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-24The sunroof controls are
located on the overhead
console.
@(Half Open):Turn the control clockwise to this
position to open the glass panel half way. The sunshade
will open with the glass panel, or it can be opened
manually.
P(Comfort Stop):Turn the control clockwise to
this position to open the glass panel about three
quarters of the way open. The sunshade will open with
the glass panel, or it can be opened manually.
This is called the comfort stop position. It provides less
wind noise than the full-open position.
A(Full Open):Turn the control clockwise to this
position to open the glass panel all the way. The
sunshade will open with the glass panel, or it can be
opened manually.
2-51

I(Vent):Turn the control counterclockwise to this
position to use the vent feature. The glass panel
will tilt upward from the vehicle. The sunshade must be
opened manually.
?(Close):Turn the control to this position to close
the sunroof. The sunshade must be closed manually.
Anti-Pinch Feature
If an object is in the path of the sunroof when it is
closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object and
stop the sunroof from closing at the point of the
obstruction. The sunroof will then return to the full-open
or vent position. To close the sunroof once it has
re-opened, turn the control to the closed position.
Anti-Pinch Feature Override
A condition may exist that causes anti-pinch feature of
the sunroof to activate due to weather or an obstruction.
In an emergency, the anti-pinch feature can be
overridden in a supervised mode.
To override the anti-pinch feature rotate the sunroof
control to the closed position, then press the control
upward and continue pressing upward until sunroof
reaches the desired position.
In this mode, the window can still close on an object in
its path. Use care when using the override mode.
