2007 CADILLAC DTS PROFESSIONAL mirror

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. The lever returns automatically when the
turn is complete. If you momentarily press and
release the lever, the turn signal will ash 3 times.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster and in the
outside rearview
mirror will ash in the
direction of the turn
or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until
the lane change is complete. The lever returns
when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will
sound and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will
display TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a
mile to remind you to turn it off. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246.Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a
turn or lane change may be caused by a burned
out signal bulb. Other drivers will not see the
turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs
if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.
SeeRear Underseat Fuse Block on page 455.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push forward to change the headlamps from
low beam to high. Pull the lever back and then
release it to change from high beam to low.
This light on the
instrument panel cluster
will be on, indicating
high-beam usage.

Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before
using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades
become worn or damaged, replace with new
blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Your vehicle has wiper-activated headlamps.
After the windshield wipers have completed eight
wipe cycles within four minutes, the headlamps
automatically turn on. SeeWiper Activated
Headlamps on page 197for more information.Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture
sensor is mounted on the interior side of the
windshield behind the rearview mirror. It is used
to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring
the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield.
Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield
depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity
setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur.
In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The Rainsense™ II wipers operate in
a delay mode as well as a continuous low or high
speed as needed. If the system is left on for long
periods of time, occasional wipes may occur
without any moisture on the windshield. This is
normal and indicates that the Rainsense™ II
system is activated.

IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read
this entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to your vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor
on your rearview mirror, this system turns
the vehicle’s high-beam headlamps on and
off according to surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no
other traffic present, and the IntelliBeam system
is enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
Press and release the IntelliBeam™ button on
the inside rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam™
indicator on the mirror turns on to indicate
the system is on. Once the system has been
turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle
is started, but the IntelliBeam system must
be enabled.To enable the IntelliBeam™ system, turn the
exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn
signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position.
The High-Beam On Light appears on the
instrument panel cluster when the high-beams
are on. SeeHighbeam On Light on page 238.
Driving with IntelliBeam™
IntelliBeam™ only activates the high-beams when
driving over 20 mph (32 km/h).
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the
automatic control of IntelliBeam™, until any of
the following situations occur:
The system detects an approaching vehicle’s
headlamps.
The system detects a preceding vehicle’s
taillamps.
The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
The vehicle’s speed drops below
15 mph (24 km/h).
194

The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the
high-beam position or the ash-to-pass feature
is used. SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer on page 167andFlash-to-Pass
on page 172.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntelliBeam™ feature is disabled and the
IntelliBeam™ light in the mirror turns off until
the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
If IntelliBeam™ was using low-beams prior
to this action, the IntelliBeam™ feature is
temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned
to the neutral position.
The exterior lamp control is turned to any
setting except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntelliBeam™ is disabled
until the control is turned back to the AUTO
position.
The IntelliBeam™ system is turned off at the
inside rearview mirror.IntelliBeam™ might not turn off the high-beams if
the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps
because of any of the following:
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view, or otherwise
undetected.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with
dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected
due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist, or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked, or
obstructed by something that blocks the view
of the IntelliBeam™ light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice,
dirt, haze, or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front
end of the vehicle points upward, causing the
IntelliBeam™ sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You might need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.

Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at
the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam™ can be disabled by using the
controls on the inside rearview mirror.
AUTO
3(On/Off):To disable the system,
press this button on the inside rearview mirror.
The IntelliBeam™ indicator turns off and does not
come back on until the IntelliBeam™ button is
pressed again.
When IntelliBeam™ has turned on the high-beams,
pull or push the high-beam stalk. This will disable
IntelliBeam™. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the
mirror turns off. To turn IntelliBeam™ back on,
press the IntelliBeam™ button on the mirror.
A different sensitivity setting is available for dealer
diagnostics. This is done by pushing and holding
this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeam™
indicator light ashes three times. If you
accidentally activate this, the vehicle’ s setting
automatically is reset when the ignition is turned
off and then on again.
Cleaning the IntelliBeam™ Light Sensor
The light sensor is
located on the inside
of the vehicle in front
of the inside rearview
mirror.
Clean the light sensor window, periodically, using
glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the
sensor window. Do not spray glass cleaner directly
on the surface of the sensor window.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
<(Rear Defogger):Press the center of the right
control to turn the rear window defogger on or off.
Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear
window as possible. The rear window defogger will
turn off approximately 20 minutes after the button is
pressed if your vehicle is moving at slower vehicle
speeds. At higher vehicle speeds, the rear defogger
may stay on continuously. Each additional press
will run the defogger for approximately 10 minutes.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror
when the rear window defogger is on.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
For the front outlets, use the thumbwheel located
below each outlet to change the direction of the
airow. Use the thumbwheel located next to the
outlets to shut the airow or to open the outlets
and re-direct the air.
For the rear outlets, slide the lever left or right
and up or down to change the direction of
the airow.
Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the windshield that
may block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors
may adversely affect the performance of
the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of your vehicle more effectively.
