2007 CADILLAC CTS V audio

Navigation/Radio System
Your vehicle may have a navigation radio system.
The navigation system has built-in features
intended to minimize driver distraction. Technology
alone, no matter how advanced, can never
replace your own judgment. See the Navigation
System manual for some tips to help you
reduce distractions while driving.
Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is
moved to a different vehicle, it does not operate.
If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the
original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the
radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK
®activated, the radio does not
operate if stolen.

need to. You should turn the system off if your
vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and
rocking the vehicle is required. Additionally,
turning the traction control system off on some
surfaces, such as deep snow and loose gravel,
will assist vehicle motion at lower speeds.

How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System and the Oil Life Indicator
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and lter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the system
so it can calculate when the next oil change is
required. If a situation occurs where you change
your oil prior to a change engine oil message in the
DIC being turned on, reset the system.
After the oil has been changed, the change engine
oil message and the oil life indicator must be
reset. To reset the message and indicator, use one
of the following procedures:
Base Audio System
Press the CLR button located to the right of the
DIC display to acknowledge the change engine oil
message. This will clear the message from the
display and reset it.To reset the oil life indicator, use the following
steps:
1. Press the up or down arrow on the INFO
button located to the right of the DIC
display to access the DIC menu.
2. Once XXX% ENGINE OIL LIFE menu item is
highlighted, press and hold the CLR button.
The percentage will return to 100, and
the oil life indicator will be reset. Repeat the
steps if the percentage does not return to 100.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil message comes back on
when you start your vehicle, the engine oil life
system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.Navigation System
If you have the navigation system, see “Vehicle
Customization” in the Navigation System Manual
for how to reset the oil life indicator.

Additional Required Services on page 465, and
be sure to use the transmission uid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 473.
Notice:Use of the incorrect automatic
transmission uid may damage your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by
your warranty. Always use the automatic
transmission uid listed inRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 473.

The high-performance tires, size P225/55R16,
P225/50R17 or P225/50R18 require ination
pressure adjustment when driving your vehicle at
speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher. Set
the cold tire ination pressure to the maximum
ination pressure shown on the tire sidewall,
or 38 psi (262 kPa), whichever is lower. See the
example following.
Example:
You will nd the maximum load and ination
pressure molded on the tire’s sidewall, in small
letters, near the rim ange. It will read something
like this: Maximum load 710 kg (1565 lbs)
350 kPa (51 psi) Max. Press.
For this example, you would set the cold ination
pressure for high-speed driving at 38 psi (262 kPa)
When you end high-speed driving, return the tires
to the cold ination pressures shown on the
tire and loading information label. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 321.Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS). This system uses radio and
sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
If your vehicle has this feature, sensors are
mounted on each the tire and wheel assembly,
except for the spare tire. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in the vehicle’s tires and
transmits the tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
If your vehicle has the base audio system, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) displays TPMS
warnings and messages on the radio’s display
screen. SeeSystem Controls on page 223
andDIC Warnings and Messages on page 232for
additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays. If your vehicle has
the Navigation system, TPMS warnings and
messages are displayed on the message center
screen, located inside the tachometer. See
Message Center (CTS-V) on page 215for
information about the message center operation
and displays.
