The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first stared after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is to
allow the air surrounding the outside temperature sensor
to be as close to the actual outside conditions as possible.
This is determined by how much time has elapsed since
the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.
Continuous Variable Road Sensing
Suspension (CVRSS)
The CVRSS automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response.
If the controller detects a problem within the system,
the DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. If this message appears, have your vehicle
serviced at your dealership.
Oil Life Indicator
This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It's based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns. To see the display, press the INFO
button several times until ENGINE OIL LIFE appears.
If you see 99% ENGINE OIL LIFE, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The DIC may display a CHANGE ENGINE OIL message.
Always keep a written record of the mileage and date
when you changed your oil. For more information, see
the Maintenance Schedule booklet. If you see CHANGE
ENGINE OIL, it means the oil life is gone and you should
change the oil right away. The system doesn't check how
much oil you have, so you'll still have to check for that.
To see how, see ªEngine Oilº in the Index.
When the oil is changed, you'll need to reset the system.
See ªOil Life Indicator, How to Resetº in the Index.

Receiving and Sending E-Mail
Your radio uses the cellular phone to connect to your
ISP. Make sure the phone is secure and connected.
Begin the modem session by connecting the modem
cable (or serial cable with a null modem) to your
computing device. Press and release the modem door on
the radio near the recessed bumps. Connect the cable to
the radio's 25
-pin connector. Start your e-mail program
and connect to the ISP. The radio will receive the phone
number from your PDA and instruct the phone to dial
the number. While connecting, the audio from your
radio will be briefly muted and you will hear the tones
being generated as the modem establishes a connection.
When the connection is complete, the audio will return.
When you end your e
-mail session your radio will
instruct the phone to hang up.
Cellular Phone Reception
If the reception of the cellular signal weakens the error
rate of the modem will increase. If you are having
difficulty connecting or sending and receiving data the
cellular signal may be too weak. To ensure good signal conditions, the cell phone display should show
a minimum of three to four bars for signal strength.
The volume on the phone handset should be set to
three bars for best results.
Text Based Information Services
Your radio can be used to gather information using
enhanced Radio Data Systems (RDS) while you are out of
the vehicle. The radio can provide text
-based information
such as traffic and weather. This is done through a
nationwide network of FM stations. You do not need to
know which station is providing this service, the radio will
search out the station when not being used. Your dealer
can provide details on how to obtain this service.
You can program the radio to automatically wake up
twice daily, for example, at 7 AM and again at 4:30 PM.
If your vehicle is off, the radio will wake up at these
programmed times to gather the information. Although
the radio is awake and receiving data, it will appear to
be off. There will be no sound or display. It may take
up to 15 minutes for each update. The information
will then be available for review when you enter your
vehicle. If the vehicle is on at the time of the scheduled
update, the update will not be performed. In addition
to the user programmable times, the system will
automatically update the information when you turn
the ignition off and leave the vehicle.

3-45 Programming for News/Information Updates
Your vehicle is delivered with the Communiport
Infotainment radio programmable updates off. You
can program the radio to provide two daily updates.
To program the update times follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the INFO button for approximately
two seconds. This will cause the radio to enter the
programming mode.
2. Press and release the INFO button, UPDATE 1
TIME will appear on the display. Use the HR and
MN buttons to set the time you would like to retrieve
the first news and information update.
3. Press and release the INFO button again, UPDATE

MN buttons to set the time to retrieve the second
daily news and information update.
The HR button can be used to select OFF if one or both
automatic updates are not required.
If you have not started your vehicle in a couple of days
the radio will switch to a reduced update schedule by
skipping every other update time. After approximately
three days the radio will stop providing information
updates until you restart your vehicle. This is intended
to conserve your vehicle's battery.
Programming for an Immediate
Information Update
To program an immediate news update, press and hold
the INFO button until UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM
appears on the display. Then press the RDM button while
UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM is being displayed.
The radio will begin the update by switching to the
FM band, if not already there, and tuning to the service
provider's station. If you are listening to AM, FM or
weather, UPDATING INFO.... will appear on the
display until the update has completed. You can switch
the source to cassette or CD changer or turn the radio
off without interrupting the update.
You can also perform the update while listening to the
cassette player or CD changer. The radio will briefly
display UPDATING INFO...., then return to the
normal display. The radio will beep once to let you
know when the update has completed.
To cancel the update and return to the station you were
listening to, turn the radio off and back on again.

3-46
While performing the information update, the radio will
temporarily disable the RDS buttons. The RDS buttons
will be enabled again once the update is completed.
When the radio begins an update, the information
contained in the radio's memory is cleared. If you
perform an immediate update and then quickly cancel it,
NO TEXT AVAILABLE will appear on the display.
Viewing the News/Information
To view the news/information, press and release the
INFO button. The radio will display TOPIC: ALL.
The radio will then begin displaying all the received
information at a rate of approximately three seconds
per display. You can page through the topics at a faster
rate by pressing and releasing the INFO button after
the text appears.
You can access a topic directly from the TOPIC: ALL
display by pressing and releasing the INFO button until
the desired topic is displayed. The radio will display the
information for that topic only.
If the radio has not received any information, NO TEXT
AVAILABLE will appear on the display. This will be
followed by the UPDATE NOW? PRESS RDM display
previously described.
Vehicle Control
Your radio can provide you with safety and convenience
features by performing the following vehicle control actions:

Unlocking or locking the doors,

opening the trunk,

flashing the parking lights and

sounding the horn.
If you need one of these services, contact the OnStar

service center.
When you turn your vehicle off, the radio will
automatically tune to your FM provider's station and
check for a vehicle control request received through
RDS. Your vehicle control request will be completed in
five minutes or less if your vehicle is in the continental
United States and in a location that can receive
FM broadcasts.
Vehicle control is available for six days from the time
you last turned off your vehicle. This time can be
increased up to 11 days by turning off the automatic
information updates as described previously. This would
be useful if you are going to be away from your vehicle
for an extended period of time.
For more information see OnStar in the Index.

When using a scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaning
cassette, it is normal for the cassette to eject because
your unit is equipped with a cut tape detection feature
and a cleaning cassette may appear as a broken tape.
To prevent the cleaning cassette from being ejected, use
the following steps.
1. Turn the ignition to ON or ACC.
2. Turn the radio off.
3. Press and hold the SOURCE button for two
seconds. The tape symbol on the display will flash
three times.
4. Turn the radio on and insert the scrubbing action
cleaning cassette.
5. Eject the cleaning cassette after the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning time.
When the cleaning cassette has been ejected, the cut tape
detection feature is active again.
You may also choose a non
-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject on its own. A non
-scrubbing action cleaner may
not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing type cleaner.
The use of a non
-scrubbing action, dry-type cleaning
cassette is not recommended.After you clean the player, press and hold the eject
button for three seconds to reset the CLEAN TAPE
indicator. The radio will display CLEAN TAPE MSG
CLEARED to show the indicator was reset.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.

4-22
Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you
allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move
slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the
proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit,
do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up.
Drive on to the next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going
slower than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you're ready. Try to be well rested. If you
must start when you're not fresh
-- such as after a
day's work
-- don't plan to make too many miles that
first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and
shoes you can easily drive in.Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it's ready to go. If it needs
service, have it done before starting out. Of course,
you'll find experienced and able service experts in
Cadillac dealerships all across North America.
They'll be ready and willing to help if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:

Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full?
Are all windows clean inside and outside?

Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?

Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked
all levels?

Lamps: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?

Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble
-free trip. Is the tread good enough for
long
-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to
the recommended pressure?

Weather Forecasts: What's the weather outlook
along your route? Should you delay your trip a short
time to avoid a major storm system?

Maps: Do you have up
-to-date maps?
