2007 CADILLAC DTS PROFESSIONAL park assist

At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
chime will sound for a short time and all three
lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit and ashing.
When you are backing the vehicle and objects are
detected at the same time near both the front
and rear bumpers, both color-coded light displays
will notify you of objects close to each bumper.
If there are objects detected near both bumpers,
the beeps will only be sounded to notify that
objects are close to the rear bumper. However,
if while you are backing and an object comes
within 1 ft (0.3 m) of the front bumper, and at the
same time there is another object further than
1 ft (0.3 m) from the rear bumper, then the beeps
will only be sounded to notify you of the closer
object that is near the front bumper.When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If the UFRPA system will not activate due to a
temporary condition, the message PARKING
ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC and a
red light will be shown on the rear UFRPA display
when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R).
This occurs under the following conditions:
The driver disables the system. SeeDIC
Controls and Displays on page 240.
The parking brake pedal is depressed.
A trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was hanging out of your
trunk during your last drive when you turned off
the vehicle. If the attached objects are removed
from your vehicle before the start of your next
drive, the system will return to normal operation
unless an object is detected when the vehicle is
shifted out of park. If this occurs, you will have
to wait until the vehicle is driven forward above
15 mph (25 km/h) before UFRPA will return to
normal operation.
206

A bicycle or an object is attached to the front
bumper during your last drive when you turned
off the vehicle. If the attached objects are
removed from your vehicle before the start of
your next drive, the system will return to normal
unless an object is detected when the vehicle is
shifted out of park. If this occurs, UFRPA will
return to normal operation when the vehicle is
driven forward above 15 mph (25 km/h).
The ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean.
So be sure to keep your vehicle’s front and rear
bumpers free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
For cleaning instructions, seeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 444. If after cleaning the front
and rear bumpers and driving forward at a
speed of at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the DIC
displays the PARKING ASSIST OFF message,
see your dealer/retailer.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include vibrations from a
jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck or other
mechanical devices that interfere with
UFRPA performance.
When UFRPA is disabled without driver action
and the driver attempts to turn UFRPA back
on using the Driver Information Center (DIC),
the PARKING ASSIST ON option will not be
selectable if the necessary conditions stated
above for normal system operation are not met.
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.
For Driver Information Center messages related
to UFRPA, seeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 246.
If the bumper is damaged, your UFRPA system
may not work properly. Take the vehicle to
your dealer/retailer to repair the system.

If a low or high tire pressure condition is detected
by the system while driving, a message advising
you to check the pressure in a specic tire will
appear in the display. SeeInation - Tire Pressure
on page 411andDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 246for more information.
If the tire pressure display shows dashes instead of
a value, there may be a problem with your vehicle.
If this consistently occurs, see your dealer for
service.

OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while
the engine oil pressure is low, severe engine
damage may occur. If a low oil pressure
warning appears on the instrument panel
cluster and/or DIC, stop the vehicle as soon
as possible. Do not drive the vehicle until
the cause of the low oil pressure is corrected.
SeeEngine Oil on page 365for more
information.
This message displays when the vehicle’s engine
oil pressure is low. The oil pressure light also
appears on the instrument panel cluster.
SeeOil Pressure Light on page 237.
A multiple chime sounds when this message
is displayed. SeeEngine Oil on page 365for
more information.
Stop the vehicle immediately, as engine damage
can result from driving a vehicle with low oil
pressure. Have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer as soon as possible when this message
is displayed.
PARKING ASSIST OFF

265

Panic Brake Assist
Your vehicle may have a panic brake assist
system that monitors the intention of the driver
while braking. If the system senses that the driver
has applied hard/fast pressure to the brake
pedal, the system will generate additional
pressure, making it easier for the driver to maintain
brake application. When this happens the brake
pedal will feel easier to push. Just hold the
brake pedal down rmly and let the system work
for you. You may feel the brakes vibrate, or
you may notice some noise but this is normal. The
brakes will return to normal operation after the
brake pedal has been released.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the
engine stops or the system is not functioning, you
can steer but it will take much more effort.
Magnetic Speed Variable Assist
Steering System
This system continuously adjusts the effort you
feel when steering at all vehicle speeds. It provides
ease when parking, yet a rm, solid feel at
highway speeds.
Steering Tips
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned
on the news happen on curves. Here is why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is
subject to the same laws of physics when driving on
curves. The traction of the tires against the road
surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change
its path when you turn the front wheels. If there is
no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the
same direction. If you have ever tried to steer a
vehicle on wet ice, you will understand this.
The traction you can get in a curve depends on
the condition of the tires and the road surface, the
angle at which the curve is banked, and your
speed. While you are in a curve, speed is the
one factor you can control.
