Efficiency
Driving Style
Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce electric range.
Driver-Selected Operating Modes
Press the MODE button on the center console to scroll through a menu of operating modes when more performance is needed. After three seconds, the highlighted mode will become active.
Tour (Default) – Use in normal driving conditions for efficient operation; is active each time the vehicle is started.
Sport – Increases throttle response and adjusts
steering and suspension settings for a sportier driving experience.
Mountain – Use when planning to drive in mountainous terrain (long grades of 5% or higher); reserves battery power to maintain higher speeds on steep grades.
Hold – Use to preserve electric range for later use. Range-extending operation will engage.

Efficiency Gauge
Use the 5-way control to select an instrument
cluster theme that
displays the green ring or leaf indicator.
While driving, try to keep the ring green or the leaf in the center of the gauge. The ring will turn yellow or the leaf will move up or down during inefficient acceleration or aggressive braking, depending on the cluster theme.
Regen on Demand™
Regen on Demand temporarily regenerates energy from the vehicle’s momentum and stores it in the high voltage propulsion battery for later use.
To activate Regen on Demand, pull and hold either paddle on the back of the steering wheel without pressing the brake pedal or accelerator pedal.
While pulling either paddle, the vehicle will begin to decelerate using regenerative braking. Regen on Demand is deactivated once the paddles are released, or the brake pedal or accelerator pedal is pressed.

the infotainment system while driving.
Portable Audio Devices
Two USB ports, an SD media card slot, and an auxiliary audio input jack are located in the center console storage compartment.
Connect an iPod®, iPhone®, MP3 player, a USB flash drive or a USB mass storage device to the USB port or insert an SD media card into the card slot.
Touch Media until the connected device is shown. CUE will read the device and build a list of voice commands.
Bluetooth® System
Before using a Bluetooth-enabled device in the vehicle, it must be paired with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. Not all
devices will support all functions. The pairing process is disabled when the vehicle is moving. For more information, visit www.gmtotalconnect.com.
Pair a Phone
1. To use voice recognition, press the Push to Talk button on the steering wheel; after the beep, say “Pair phone,” or
Use the touch screen to select the Phone icon > Phones > Pair Device.

4. If your phone prompts you to accept the connection or phone book download, click “yes” and always allow.
See your CUE Infotainment System Manual.
The touch screen in the center stack can be used to display and adjust Infotainment, Vehicle Personalization and Climate Control settings.
Use the controls on the center stack and the touch screen to access the various menus and settings.
The center stack controls only need a light touch to operate and work best with bare hands. Use the finger pad rather than the fingertip to minimize response time. The controls work with most gloves but may take longer to respond. Remove gloves if necessary.
In the screen menus, a check mark next to an item indicates it is selected/on.
Infotainment
CUE uses a Bluetooth or USB connection to link a smartphone, cell phone, USB flash drive or portable audio player/iPod® to the touch screen infotainment display. It offers a variety of
entertainment options, including streaming audio from the Internet through a smartphone, and features enhanced hands- free voice control, music information and the ability to play music files from a USB flash drive or an SD media card. For assistance, call 1-855-4-CUE-NOW (1-855-428-3669) or visit www.cadillac.com/cue.

Climate Controls
Touch the Climate icon on the center stack touch screen to view and adjust the climate control settings.
Press AUTO on the center stack to have the system operate automatically.
Note: Under certain conditions, the engine will start to provide full heat and defrost capability.
Climate Power Gauge
The Climate Power gauge on the climate control screen displays the impact of the climate settings on energy consumption. A lower percentage indicates less energy is being used.
Climate Modes
Optimal efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning and fan turned off.
Touch the climate mode settings to adjust the impact the
climate control system has on the vehicle’s efficiency.
The most efficient operation is in the following order:
• MIN – electric cabin heating/cooling is off
• ECO – limits cabin heating/cooling to balance comfort with energy use
• MAX – provides the most cabin heating/cooling but uses the most energy
Use the heated seats and heated steering wheel to reduce the demand on the cabin heating system. Heating the seats and steering wheel uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.
