CADILLAC CTS 2007 1.G Owners Manual

The vehicle has threaded nuts that are covered
with a plastic cap on the roof rails, that indicate the
mounting locations for a roof rack or luggage
carrier. Open the doors to access these locations.
Remove the plastic cap before attaching a roof
rack or luggage carrier.
For more information on purchasing the
rack/carrier as well as installation information,
contact your dealer.
Convenience Net
The convenience net attaches to the oor and
back wall of the trunk using four anchor points
which allows the net to be used two ways. It 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. SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 119.
The 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.
161

P(Comfort Stop):Turn the control clockwise
to this position to open the glass panel about
three quarters of the way. 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.
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 the 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 the
sunroof reaches the desired position.
In this mode, the sunroof can still close on an
object in its path. Use care when using the
override mode.
