2005 CADILLAC STS ignition positions

Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the
status of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is
also used to display warning/status messages. All
messages will appear in the DIC display located at the
bottom of the instrument panel cluster, below the
tachometer and speedometer. The DIC buttons are
located on the instrument panel, to the left of the
steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display the current driver and the
information that was last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status messages.
The bottom line of the DIC display shows either the
odometer, the trip odometer A or the trip odometer B
information on the left side. Only one odometer
can appear at a time. See “Trip Information” under
DIC Controls and Displays on page 3-74for informationon changing the display to show the odometer or trip
odometer information. The bottom line of the DIC display
also shows the outside temperature on the right side
and the shift lever position indicator in the center.
SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26for
more information on the shift lever positions.
When the sport mode is active, an S will appear next to
the shift position indicator on the center of the DIC
display. When the manual mode is active, an M
will appear next to the shift position indicator. When the
normal mode is active, only the shift position indicator
will appear. See “Driver Shift Control” underAutomatic
Transmission Operation on page 2-26for more
information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear
on the display. Be sure to take any message that
appears on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the message will only make the message
disappear, not correct the problem.

NO FOBS DETECTED
When this message displays, it means that the vehicle
does not detect the keyless access transmitter. The
keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle for the
ignition to work. Make sure you have the transmitter
inside of the vehicle when using the electronic keyless
ignition with push-button start. SeeIgnition Positions
on page 2-22for more information.
If the keyless access transmitter is inside of the
vehicle while this message is displayed and the
push-button start is not working, your vehicle
may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing
the keyless access system to be jammed.If this happens, place the transmitter into the transmitter
pocket located in the center console. This will then
allow you to start the vehicle in the normal manner
using the push-button start.
NO FOB OFF OR RUN?
When this message displays, it means that the keyless
access transmitter is not detected inside of the
vehicle while you are trying to turn the ignition off. You
can either keep the car running or turn the ignition
off while you locate your keyless access transmitter.
However, if you turn the ignition off and you cannot nd
the keyless access transmitter, you will not be able
to restart the vehicle. The keyless access transmitter
needs to be inside of the vehicle in order for the vehicle
to start. SeeStarting the Engine on page 2-24for
more information.

TRACTION ACTIVE
This message will display when the traction control
system is actively limiting wheel spin. Slippery
road conditions may exist if this message is displayed,
so adjust your driving accordingly. The message will
stay on for a few seconds after the traction control
system stops limiting wheel spin. SeeTraction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-8for more information.
TRANS (Transmission) HOT IDLE
ENGINE
This message will display when the transmission uid in
your vehicle is too hot. Stop the vehicle and allow it
to idle until the transmission cools down or until
this message is removed.
TRUNK OPEN
This symbol appears with
the TRUNK OPEN
message.When this message displays, it means that the trunk
was not closed completely. You should make sure that
the trunk is closed completely.
TURN SIGNAL ON
If you drive your vehicle for more than about 1 mile
(1.6 km) with a turn signal on, this message will display
as a reminder to turn off the turn signal. A multiple
chime will sound when this message is displayed.
Other Messages
Here are more messages that you can receive on your
Driver Information Center (DIC). To acknowledge a

TPM Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPM sensor has a unique identication code. Any
time you replace one or more of the TPM sensors or
rotate your vehicle’s tires, the identication codes
will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
The sensors are matched, to the tire/wheel positions,
in the following order: left front (LF), right front (RF), right
rear (RR), and left rear (LR) using a TPM diagnostic
tool. See your GM dealer for service.
The TPM sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. If using this method to match TPM
sensors, the complete procedure outlined below must
be performed after the vehicle has been driven at
least 20 mph (32 km/h), for at least 10 seconds, and
within 15 minutes from when the vehicle is stationary.
You will have one minute to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall, to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute,
to match the rst tire and wheel, or more than ve
minutes to match all four tire/wheel positions the
matching process stops and you will need to start over.
The TPM matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Press the push-button ignition switch to OFF/ACC.
3. Using the Keyless Access transmitter, lock and
unlock the vehicle’s doors.4. Press the lock and unlock buttons, at the same
time, on the Keyless Access transmitter. A single
horn chirp will sound, indicating that the TPM
system is ready, and the sensor matching process
can begin.
5. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPM sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for ve seconds,
or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to 30 seconds, conrms that the
sensor identication code has been matched to
this tire position. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gauge, or a key.
7. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
8. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
9. Proceed to the left (driver’s side) rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
10. After hearing the conrming double horn chirp, for
the left rear tire, exit the matching process by
pressing the push-button ignition switch to
OFF/ACC.
