fuses CADILLAC XLR V 2007 1.G Owners Manual

Testing the Alarm
Do the following to test the system:
1. Make sure the trunk lid is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver’s door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 30 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually
pull the release lever on the oor.
6. Turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock
button on the transmitter.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 453. If the horn works, but
the alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Always use your keyless access transmitter to
unlock a door either by pressing the unlock button
on the transmitter or by squeezing the door
handle sensor while you have the transmitter with
you. Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm. If your alarm sounds, press
the unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter to disarm it.
Valet Lockout Switch
The valet lockout switch
is located inside the
glove box.
Press the switch to ON to disable the use of the
trunk and convertible top. The trunk cannot
be opened except by using the key if the valet
lockout is on.
Press the switch to OFF to enable the use of the
trunk and convertible top.
Locking the glove box with your key will also help
to secure your vehicle.

Lamps on page 164.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the multifunction lever all
the way up or down. When the turn is nished, the
lever will return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
If you signal a turn or a lane change and
the arrows ash faster than normal, a signal bulb
may be burned out. Other drivers will not see
the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. If the arrows do not go on at all
when you signal a turn, check the fuses and check
for burned-out bulbs. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 453.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime will remind you if you leave the turn
signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km) of driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for more
than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then
turn it back on.

As light shines out from the HUD, it is possible for
light to shine back in. In rare occurrences,
when the sun is at a specic angle and position,
the sun’s rays can shine back into the HUD. When
this occurs, the display device within the HUD
will be temporarily illuminated. The event will end
when the vehicle’s angle to the sun changes.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to
remove any dirt or lm that reduces the sharpness
or clarity of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD, spray household glass cleaner
on a soft, clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then dry it. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens
because the cleaner could leak into the unit.
If the ignition is on and you cannot see the HUD
image, check to see if:
Something is covering the HUD unit.
The brightness is adjusted properly.
The HUD image is adjusted to the proper
height.
Ambient light in the direction your vehicle is
facing is low.
A fuse is blown. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 453.Keep in mind that your windshield is part of the
HUD system. SeeWindshield Replacement
on page 412.
The following Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
messages may appear in the HUD:
CRUISE SPEED LIMITED:This message
indicates that your vehicle speed has been
reduced below your set speed due to ACC
limitations. Your set speed is too high and ACC
cannot detect other vehicles at far enough
distances for the system to operate properly.
TIGHT CURVE:This message indicates that ACC
has reduced your vehicle speed due to a tight
curve in the road. Once the road straightens, ACC
will return to your selected set speed or follow
distance setting. See “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)” underTurn Signal/Multifunction Lever on
page 141for more information.
You may also see an ACC active symbol, alert
symbol or vehicle ahead symbol. See “Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC)” underTurn
Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 141for more
information.

As always, drivers should use care when backing
up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being
sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and
blind spots.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlet can be used to
connect electrical equipment such as a cellular
phone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlet is located inside the
center console storage compartment, on the
forward left side.
To use the outlet, remove the tethered cap. When
not using it, always cover the outlet with the
protective cap.
Notice:When using an accessory power
outlet, maximum electrical load must not
exceed 20 amps. Always turn off any electrical
equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods will
drain your vehicle’s battery.Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer for
additional information on accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer before adding electrical
equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the installation instructions included with the
equipment.
We recommend that you see a qualied technician
or your dealer for the proper installation of your
equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug because the
power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.

Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with your dealer
rst. Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage would not
be covered by your warranty. Some add-on
electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery,
even if your vehicle is not operating.
Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, seeServicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 58.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal circuit breaker. If the wiper motor
overheats due to heavy snow, the wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
A fuse powers the wiper motor. If the fuse blows,
there is an electrical problem. Be sure to have
it xed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and
power seats. When the current load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is xed or
goes away.
452

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating. If a fuse should
blow, see your dealer for service immediately.
If you ever have a problem on the road and do not
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has
the same amperage. Pick some feature of your
vehicle that you can get along without – like the
radio or cigarette lighter – and use its fuse, if it is the
correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The panel fuse block is located on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle, under the instrument panel
and under the toe-board.Remove the carpet and toe-board covering to
access the fuse block by pulling at the top of each
corner of the panel. Then turn the fuse block
door knob counterclockwise and pull the door to
access the fuses.
