Tilt steering allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. Raising the steering wheel to the
highest level gives your legs more room when you enter

and the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control
down and the steering wheel will go down.
If the power tilt control is pressed up or down and held
in that position, there will be a slight movement and a
slight pause followed by a continuous movement in the
direction the control is being pressed. This allows very
fine control of the steering wheel position. If the control
is bumped, the steering wheel moves approximately one
degree in the direction commanded.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel
moves toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control
rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the
rear of the vehicle. To set the memory position, see

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
Turn and Lane Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow located on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash in the direction
of the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change
is complete. The lever returns when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON (after driving about a mile) to
remind you to turn it off.Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned
-out signal bulb.
Other drivers won't see the turn signal.
Replace burned
-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index) and check for burned
-out
bulbs if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.

When the low-beam headlamps are on, push the turn
signal lever away from you to change the headlamps to
high beam.

low
-beam headlamps.

you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn
them off.

If the headlamps are on low beam, they will remain
active and the high beam will also illuminate until
you release the lever.

You can control the windshield wipers by moving
the lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever is
located on the right side of your steering column.
For information on wiper
-activated headlamp operation,
refer to ªWiper
-Activated Headlampsº in the Index.

2-40 Cruise Control
The cruise control lever is
located on the lower right
side of the steering column.
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your
foot on the accelerator. This can help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h). When cruise control is on, you will
see the CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster.
Cruise control shuts off when you apply your brakes.CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can't drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don't use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.

Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Don't use cruise
control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. (See ªTraction
Control Systemº in the Index.) When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise
control back on.

2-53 Power Remote Control Mirror (Heated)
This feature is located on
the driver's door armrest.
Move the L/R select switch
located under the power
mirror control to choose
the left or right mirror.
To adjust the mirror, move the arrow control in the direction
you want the mirror to go. Leave the L/R select switch in
the center position to disable mirror movement. This is
helpful in preventing unwanted mirror movement in case
the control is accidentally bumped while driving. Adjust
each outside mirror so the vehicle is barely visible in the
mirror to maximize your side view.The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization
and parallel parking feature if you have the optional
memory package. For more information, see ªMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheelº and ªVehicle
Programming and Personalization Featuresº in the
Index. For information on the heated outside mirrors,
see ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.

Rearview Mirror
Only the driver's side outside mirror will adjust for the
glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled
by pressing the MIRROR side of the button on and off.
This button is located at the bottom of the electrochromic
mirror. See ªElectrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
with Compassº in the Index for more information.

detached from the center mount and moved to the side.
When moved to the side, the sun visor will also move
forward and rearward. The sun visors are equipped with
a storage flap that can be used for small items such as
toll tickets.
There is also a secondary visor attached separately to
the headliner.

mirror. Move the slide switch up or down to brighten or
dim the lamp.

the center console and on the lower inboard carpeted
panel on the passenger's side of the vehicle. When the
ignition is on, you can plug in accessories that require
electrical power.Don't leave your vehicle when the engine is running
unless you have to. If you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly.
If you use the accessory power outlets for more than
10 minutes after turning off your engine, you will risk
running your battery down. For more information about
accessory power outlets, contact your dealer.

Your vehicle has been prewired for dealer installation of
a Cadillac Communiport
integrated portable cellular
telephone system. If your vehicle is already equipped
from the factory with this option, your vehicle is
prepared to receive a completion kit to finalize the
installation at the dealer. The system has steering wheel
telephone controls and information output through the
Driver's Information Center (DIC). Voice activation,
memo record and hands
-free operation are standard
features. For more information, contact your dealer.

SERVICE ELECTRICAL SYS - 106: This message
will display if an electrical problem has occurred within
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the ignition
switch. Have your vehicle serviced by your dealership.
SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM
- 101: The Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) has detected a problem within
the fuel system when this message appears. See your
dealership for service.
SERVICE IDLE CONTROL
- 107: A problem with
the idle control has occurred when this message displays.
Take your vehicle to your dealership for service.
SERVICE STABILITY SYS
- 54 : If you ever see
the SERVICE STABILITY SYS message, it means
there may be a problem with your stability enhancement
system. If you see this message, try to reset the system
(stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again).
If the SERVICE STABILITY SYS message still
comes on, it means there is a problem. You should see
your dealer for service. Reduce your speed and drive
accordingly. A single chime will also sound when this
message is displayed.STABILITY SYS ENGAGED
- 55: You may see
the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message on the
Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer
-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you're
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.
When the STABILITY SYS ENGAGED message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you'll know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so
you should consider slowing down.
SERVICE STEERING SYS
- 127: This message
is displayed when a problem has been detected in
the Magnasteer

variable effort steering system.
Service is required.
