2005 CADILLAC CTS tire pressure reset

Tire Pressure
When the tire pressure is displayed you will see a
vehicle in the display. The numbers in each corner
represent the tire pressure for the corresponding tire.
The tire pressure will be displayed in psi or kPa.
If any of the tires are blinking on the vehicle in the
display, this means that the tire pressure in that tire is
either high or low. SeeTire Pressure Monitor System
(CTS-V) on page 5-65for more information.
Lateral Acceleration
Lateral acceleration is a measure of how hard you are
taking a corner. For example, when you are turning right
you will feel your body push to the left. This force is
measured in a “g”. This gage will display from 0.00 g to
1.2 g. The lowest reading means there is no lateral
acceleration. The highest reading means the force the
driver is feeling is 1.2 times the acceleration due
to gravity.
When (B) is pressed and held while the Lateral
Acceleration display is being shown, the peak hold
values—both tick marks and numbers—will be reset
to zero.
Warning Messages
The warning messages that are described in the
following text are also shown in the tachometer display.
While any warning messages are shown, pressing
(A) or (B) will acknowledge the warning and then display
the gage relating to the error message. For instance,
if a tire is below the minimum recommended pressure,
the tire pressure warning message will blink on and
off (5 times for a low tire warning, continuously for a at
tire warning). The driver can go to the tire pressure
display immediately by pressing either button on
the outboard switch.

If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, do not include
it in the tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear ination pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeLoading Your Vehicle
on page 4-33, for an example of the tire and loading
information label and its location on your vehicle.
If your vehicle has run-at tires, the Tire Pressure
Monitor (TPM) system will need to have the sensors
reset after a tire rotation is performed. A special tool is
needed to reset the sensor identication codes. See
your dealer for service.
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” underCapacities and
Specications on page 5-107.
{CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to
which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle.
In an emergency, you can use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a
scraper or wire brush later, if needed, to get
all the rust or dirt off. SeeChanging a Flat
Tire (CTS) on page 5-76.
