3. Enter the four-digit code that appears on the touch screen into the phone or confirm the six-digit code on the phone.
4. If your phone prompts you to accept the connection or phone book download, click “yes” and always allow.
See your CUE Infotainment System Manual.
The touch screen in the center stack can be used to display and adjust Infotainment, Vehicle Personalization and Climate Control settings.
Use the controls on the center stack and the touch screen to access the various menus and settings.
The center stack controls only need a light touch to operate and work best with bare hands. Use the finger pad rather than the fingertip to minimize response time. The controls work with most gloves but may take longer to respond. Remove gloves if necessary.
In the screen menus, a check mark next to an item indicates it is selected/on.
Infotainment
CUE uses a Bluetooth or USB connection to link a smartphone, cell phone, USB flash drive or portable audio player/iPod® to the touch screen infotainment display. It offers a variety of
entertainment options, including streaming audio from the Internet through a smartphone, and features enhanced hands- free voice control, music information and the ability to play music files from a USB flash drive or an SD media card. For assistance, call 1-855-4-CUE-NOW (1-855-428-3669) or visit www.cadillac.com/cue.

Climate Controls
Touch the Climate icon on the center stack touch screen to view and adjust the climate control settings.
Press AUTO on the center stack to have the system operate automatically.
Note: Under certain conditions, the engine will start to provide full heat and defrost capability.
Climate Power Gauge
The Climate Power gauge on the climate control screen displays the impact of the climate settings on energy consumption. A lower percentage indicates less energy is being used.
Climate Modes
Optimal efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning and fan turned off.
Touch the climate mode settings to adjust the impact the
climate control system has on the vehicle’s efficiency.
The most efficient operation is in the following order:
• MIN – electric cabin heating/cooling is off
• ECO – limits cabin heating/cooling to balance comfort with energy use
• MAX – provides the most cabin heating/cooling but uses the most energy
Use the heated seats and heated steering wheel to reduce the demand on the cabin heating system. Heating the seats and steering wheel uses less energy than heating the vehicle interior.
See Climate Controls in your Owner Manual.

Driver Assistance Systems
The driver assistance features are based on a “control and alert” strategy that helps identify potential collision situations and intervenes when a collision threat appears more imminent, employing visual, audible and/or tactile (vibration) alerts.
Lane Departure Warning – When crossing a detected lane
marking without using a turn signal, a visual alert flashes on the instrument cluster and the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Lane Departure Warning button on the left side of the CUE touch screen to turn the system on or off. The button illuminates when the system is on.
Forward Collision Alert – When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too quickly, a visual alert flashes on the windshield and the driver’s seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Collision Alert button (or the Follow Distance Gap button if equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control) on the left side of the steering wheel to set the alert timing.
Safety Alert Seat – Subtle seat cushion vibration pulses, left or right, or simultaneously, alert the driver of potential hazards.
Audible notification may be selected instead of Safety Alert Seat vibration notification; to change the setting, go to Collision/Detection Systems in the Vehicle Settings menu.
Rear Vision Camera – When the vehicle is in Reverse, a view of the area behind the vehicle appears on the CUE touch screen.
Luxury Package♦
IntelliBeam® – Automatically turns the high-beam headlamps on or off depending on traffic conditions.
Side Blind Zone Alert – When a vehicle is detected in a side blind spot area, a warning symbol displays on the side mirror.
To turn off the system, go to Collision/Detection Systems in the Vehicle Settings menu.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert – Warns of traffic coming in either direction by displaying a visual alert on the Rear Vision Camera screen, and the left or right side of the driver’s seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
To turn the system on or off, go to Collision/Detection Systems in the Vehicle Settings menu.
Adaptive Cruise Control♦ (requires Luxury Package) – If a vehicle is detected ahead, the vehicle accelerates or brakes
moderately to maintain the selected following gap. If driver action is required, a visual alert flashes on the windshield and the
driver’s seat pulses. See Safety Alert Seat.
Press the Follow Distance Gap button on the left side of the steering wheel to set a following gap.
Automatic Collision Preparation♦ (included with Adaptive Cruise Control) – Prepares the brakes or applies the brakes if an emergency collision appears immediate or the driver does not react to previous alerts.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
♦ Optional equipment

Low Ground Clearance
The low ground clear-ance of the ELR aids its aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the flexible air deflector under the front fascia (bumper) may contact a parking block or curb if the vehicle is parked too closely. Use care when parking to avoid damage.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
Electric Parking Brake
To apply the parking brake, pull the Parking Brake switch on the left side of the instrument panel.
To release the parking brake, with the ignition in the ON or Accessory position, press the brake pedal and press the
Parking Brake switch.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Pedestrian Safety Signal
The vehicle is equipped with an automatic sound generator and a manual alert. The automatic sound is generated at speeds below 20 mph to indicate the vehicle’s presence to pedestrians.
To activate the additional manual alert, with the vehicle in gear, pull the turn signal lever toward you. The high-beam headlamps will flash and a soft-note alert will sound.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.

Filling the Fuel Tank
1. With the vehicle OFF, press the Fuel Door button, located on the driver’s door, for one
second. The Wait to Refuel message will display on the instrument cluster.
2. When the Ready to Refuel message displays, the fuel door on the passenger’s side of the vehicle will unlock. It will not open automatically.
3. Press and release the rear edge of the fuel door; it will pop open slightly. Open the door to refuel the vehicle.
Fuel
Use premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

Battery
The ELR is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack, which holds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect (so it doesn’t have to be run down completely before recharging). Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charged, to keep the battery temperature ready for the next drive.
Charging Time
The ELR can be programmed for three charging modes: Immediately upon plug-in; Delayed based on departure time; and Delayed (Electric Rate and Departure Time).
Using a 120-volt standard outlet will take approximately 12.5 hours to charge the ELR at the 12 amp setting, or 18 hours at the 8 amp default setting. Using a 240-volt charging station will take approximately 5 hours. Charge times will vary with outside temperature.
Touch the Energy icon on the touch screen and then touch the Charging icon to view the current Charge Level and Charge Mode status.
Touch the green Charge Level text to select a different charge level.
Touch the green Charge Mode text to select a different charge mode.
