2009 CADILLAC CTS ECO mode

Using the Auxiliary Input Jack
The radio system has an auxiliary input jack. It is in the
center console bin. This is not an audio output; do
not plug the headphone set into the front auxiliary
input jack. An external audio device such as an iPod,
laptop computer, MP3 player, etc. can be connected to
the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for
audio listening.
Set up any auxiliary device while the vehicle is stopped.
SeeDefensive Driving on page 4-2for more information
on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 inch) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack.
The radio automatically detects the device and “Aux
Input Device” displays. The device begins playing over
the vehicle speakers. If an auxiliary device has
already been connected, press the radio’s AUX or
CD/AUX button.
VOL/
O(Volume/Power):Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the volume of
the portable player. Use the portable device to make
additional volume adjustments.
FM/AM:Press to listen to the radio when a portable
audio device is playing. The portable audio device
continues playing, until it is stopped.CD or CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press to play a CD
when a portable audio device is playing. Press again to
start playing audio from the connected portable audio
player. If a portable audio player is not connected,
“No Aux Device” displays.
Using the Radio Controls to Connect
and Control an iPod
An iPod can be controlled by using the radio buttons
and knobs and display the song information on the
radio’s display. To connect and control the iPod using
the radio controls, the vehicle must have a USB port. If it
does, it is located in the center console bin. You will
also need a special iPod connection cable that can be
purchased with the vehicle or may be available after,
from your dealer/retailer. See your dealer/retailer
for more information.
This feature supports the following iPod models:
Fifth generation or later iPod
First or Second generation or later iPod Nano*
* For proper operation, make sure the iPod has the
latest rmware from Apple
®. The iPod rmware
can be updated using the latest iTunes application.
See apple.com/itunes.

Order of Play
Tracks recorded to the CD-R or CD-RW play in the
following order:
Play begins from the rst track in the rst folder and
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
folder. When the last track of the last folder has
played, play continues from the rst track of the
rst playlist.
Playlists can be changed by pressing the
next and previous folder button.
Play begins from the rst track in the rst playlist and
continues sequentially through all tracks in each
playlist. When the last track of the last playlist has
played, play continues from the rst track of the
rst folder.
When play enters a new folder, the display does not
automatically show the new folder name unless
the folder mode has been chosen as the default display.
The new track name displays.
File System and Naming
The song name displays the song name that is
contained in the ID3 tag. If the song name is not in the
ID3 tag, the radio displays the le name without the
extension.Track names longer than 32 characters are shortened.
Parts of words on the last page of text and the
extension of the lename is not displayed.
The HDD Radio will display le names with the extension.
Preprogrammed Playlists
Preprogrammed playlists that were created using
WinAmp™, MusicMatch™, or Real Jukebox™ software
can be accessed, however they cannot be edited
using the radio. These playlists are special folders
containing compressed audio song les. Playlists must
have a le extension of PLS or M3U.
Playlists can be selected using the previous and next
folder buttons. Tracks can be changed by pressing
the seek buttons or turning the tune knob. Songs are
played sequentially; press the
sREV or\FWD
to reverse or advance through the playing song.
The HDD Radio does not support preprogrammed
playlists. To create a playlist on the HDD radio from
songs recorded to the HDD, see “Saving HDD Favorites”
earlier in this section.

Intended Outboard Sidewall:The side of an
asymmetrical tire, that must always face outward
when mounted on a vehicle.
Kilopascal (kPa)
:The metric unit for air pressure.
Light Truck (LT-Metric) Tire
:A tire used on
light duty trucks and some multipurpose passenger
vehicles.
Load Index
:An assigned number ranging from
1 to 279 that corresponds to the load carrying
capacity of a tire.
Maximum Ination Pressure
:The maximum air
pressure to which a cold tire can be inated. The
maximum air pressure is molded onto the sidewall.
Maximum Load Rating
:The load rating for a tire
at the maximum permissible ination pressure
for that tire.
Maximum Loaded Vehicle Weight
:The sum of
curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity
weight, and production options weight.
Normal Occupant Weight
:The number of
occupants a vehicle is designed to seat multiplied
by 150 lbs (68 kg). SeeLoading the Vehicle on
page 4-20.Occupant Distribution
:Designated seating
positions.
Outward Facing Sidewall
:The side of an
asymmetrical tire that has a particular side that
faces outward when mounted on a vehicle.
The side of the tire that contains a whitewall, bears
white lettering, or bears manufacturer, brand,
and/or model name molding that is higher
or deeper than the same moldings on the other
sidewall of the tire.
Passenger (P-Metric) Tire
:A tire used on
passenger cars and some light duty trucks and
multipurpose vehicles.
Recommended Ination Pressure
:Vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended tire ination
pressure as shown on the tire placard. See
Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-69andLoading
the Vehicle on page 4-20.
Radial Ply Tire
:A pneumatic tire in which
the ply cords that extend to the beads are laid
at 90 degrees to the centerline of the tread.
Rim
:A metal support for a tire and upon which
the tire beads are seated.

The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. If increasing the tire’s air pressure, do
not exceed the maximum ination pressure indicated on
the tire’s sidewall. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the rst tire/
wheel position, and ve minutes overall, to match
all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than
two minutes, to match the rst tire and wheel, or
more than ve minutes to match all four tire and wheel
positions, the matching process stops and you need
to start over.
The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter’s
lock and unlock buttons at the same time for
approximately ve seconds. The horn sounds twice
to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and Tire
Learning Active message displays on the DIC
screen.4. Start with the driver side front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds, or
until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which
can take up to 30 seconds to sound, conrms that
the TPMS sensor identication code has been
matched to this tire position.
6. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the conrming horn chirp, for the
driver side rear tire, the horn sounds two more
times to signal the tire learning mode is no longer
active. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tire and loading information
label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Your GM vehicle has a number of sophisticated
computers that record information about the vehicle’s
performance and how it is driven. For example,
your vehicle uses computer modules to monitor and
control engine and transmission performance,
to monitor the conditions for airbag deployment and
deploy airbags in a crash and, if so equipped, to
provide antilock braking to help the driver control the
vehicle. These modules may store data to help
your dealer/retailer technician service your vehicle.
Some modules may also store data about how
you operate the vehicle, such as rate of fuel
consumption or average speed. These modules may
also retain the owner’s personal preferences, such
as radio pre-sets, seat positions, and temperature
settings.
