2007 CADILLAC STS V ignition

KEYLESS LOCK DELAY
This feature allows you to select whether the
doors automatically lock during normal vehicle exit.
When the ignition is turned off and all doors
become closed, the vehicle will determine how
many keyless access transmitters remain in
the vehicle interior. If at least one keyless access
transmitter has been removed from the interior
of the vehicle, the doors will lock after 10 seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access
transmitter locked in the vehicle can still be used
to start the vehicle or unlock the doors, if
needed. A person approaching the outside of the
locked vehicle without an authorized keyless
access transmitter, however, will not be able to
open the door, even with a transmitter in the
vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the passive door
locking feature by pressing the door unlock switch
for three seconds on an open door. Passive
door locking will then remain disabled until a door
lock switch is pressed or until the power mode
transitions from the off power mode.Programmable Modes
Mode 1:ON

instructions later in this section or program the
next feature available on your vehicle.

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while
using cruise control:
Press in the button at the end of the lever until
you reach the lower speed desired, then
release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briey
press the set button. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed
you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends
upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have
to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you might
have to brake to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
Applying the brake will turn off the cruise control. If
you need to apply the brake due to the grade of the
downhill slope, you might not want to attempt to use
your cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal.
Stepping on the brake pedal will end the current
cruise control session only. Move the cruise control
switch to off to turn off the system completely.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, the cruise control set speed memory
is erased.
196

Other Vehicle Lane Changes
If another vehicle enters the same lane as you,
Adaptive Cruise Control will not detect the vehicle
until it is completely in the lane. Be ready to
take action and apply the brakes yourself.
Using Adaptive Cruise Controls on Hills
and When Towing a Trailer
How well Adaptive Cruise Control will work on hills
and when towing a trailer depends on your
speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and thesteepness of the hills. It may not detect a vehicle
in your lane while driving on hills. When going
up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill when towing a trailer, you may want to
brake to keep your speed down. Applying the
brake disengages the system. You may choose
not to use Adaptive Cruise Control on steep
hills when towing a trailer.
Disengaging Adaptive Cruise Control
To disengage the system, apply the brake pedal
or move the Adaptive Cruise Control switch to
off. Adaptive Cruise Control information will
not appear on the HUD when the system is not
engaged.
Erasing Set Speed Memory
When you turn the Adaptive Cruise Control switch
or the ignition off, the set speed memory is erased.

Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at
the Rearview Mirror
IntelliBeam™ can be disabled and reset to the
original factory setting by using the controls on the
inside rearview mirror.
AUTO
3(IntelliBeam™ 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 disables
IntelliBeam™ and the IntelliBeam™ indicator
on the rearview mirror turns off. To re-enable
IntelliBeam™, 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 light ashes
three times. If you accidentally activate this, the
vehicle’s setting automatically resets each time the
ignition is turned off and then on again; otherwise,
refer to the text above for resetting the system.
Cleaning the IntelliBeam™ Light Sensor
The light sensor is
located on the inside of
the vehicle at the back of
the 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.
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers have been in
use for about six seconds. For this feature to work,
automatic lighting must be enabled. See
Headlamps on page 211for additional information.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will also
turn off if the windshield wiper control is turned off.
215

Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition off. SeeLights On Reminder on
page 256for additional information.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on,
the automatic lights are enabled, and
the transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your front turn signal
lamps will be on. No other exterior lamps will be
on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument
panel will not be lit.When the automatic lights are enabled and it is dark
enough outside, the DRL will turn off and the
low-beam headlamps will turn on. When it is bright
enough outside, the low-beam headlamps will go
off, and the DRL will turn back on. If you start your
vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp
system will come on immediately. Once you leave
the garage, it will take about one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it
is light outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure your instrument panel brightness lever is in the
full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 220.
To operate your vehicle with the DRL off, turn the
exterior lamp control off and then do one of the
following:
Turn the exterior lamp control to the parking
lamp position.
Turn the exterior lamp control to the headlamp
position.
Turn the exterior lamp control from AUTO to
off and back to AUTO.
