Universal Remote
System
See Radio Frequency Statement 0440.
Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the
overhead console. This system can replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to
activate devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and home
automation devices. These
instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other
devices.
Do not use the Universal Remote
system with any garage door opener
that does not have the stop and
reverse feature. This includes any
garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future programming.
Erase the programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing
Universal Remote System Buttons”
later in this section.
To program a garage door opener,
park outside directly in line with and
facing the garage door opener receiver.
Clear all people and objects near the
garage door. Make sure the hand-held transmitter
has a new battery for quick and
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Remote System
Programming involves time-sensitive
actions and may time out, requiring
the procedure to be repeated. Read
these instructions completely before
programming the Universal Remote
system. It may help to have another
person assist with the programming
process.
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to
3 in) away from the Universal
Remote system buttons with the
indicator light in view. The
hand-held transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of the garage
door opener receiver.
2. Press and release one of the three Universal Remote system buttons
to be programmed. Press and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
Do not release the hand-held
transmitter button until the

Cadillac CT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15268585) -

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 133
indicator light changes from a slow
to a rapid flash or continuous light.
Then release the hand-held
transmitter button.
Some garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure under“Radio Signals
for Some Gate Operators ”later in
this section.
3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote
system button for five seconds
while watching the indicator light
and garage door activation.
.If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage door
moves when the button is
pressed, then programming is
complete. There is no need to
complete Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light does not
come on or the garage door does
not move, a second button press
may be required. For a second
time, press and hold the newly
programmed button for
five seconds. If the indicator
light stays on continuously or
the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then
programming is complete. There
is no need to complete
Steps 4–6.
.If the garage door does not
move, continue with
programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1–3, locate the Learn or Smart button inside
garage on the garage door opener
receiver. The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button. Step 6 must be
completed within 30 seconds of
pressing this button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained
Universal Remote system button for two seconds and release. Repeat
the
“press/hold/release ”sequence
up to three times to complete the
training process.
The Universal Remote system should
now activate the garage door. Repeat
the process for programming the
remaining two buttons.
For questions or programming help,
see www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515. For calls placed
outside the U.S., Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.Radio Signals for Some Gate
Operators
Some gate operators and
radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time out or quit
after several seconds of transmission.
This may not be long enough for the
Universal Remote system to pick up
the signal during programming.
If the programming did not work,
replace Step 2 under “Programming
the Universal Remote System ”with
the following:

138 LIGHTING
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it is
light outside when the vehicle leaves
the garage, there is a slight delay
before the automatic headlamp
system turns off the headlamps.
During that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as usual.
Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. SeeInstrument Panel
Illumination Control 0139.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will turn off.
The automatic headlamp system turns
off when the exterior lamp control is
turned to
Oor the ignition is off. For
vehicles sold in Canada, this control
only works when the transmission is
in P (Park).
Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated
in daylight with the engine on, and
the exterior lamp control is in AUTO,
the headlamps, parking lamps, and
other exterior lamps come on. The
transition time for the lamps coming on varies based on wiper speed. When
the wipers are not operating, these
lamps turn off. Move the exterior
lamp control to
Oor;to disable
this feature.
Hazard Warning Flashers
|: Press this button to make the
front and rear turn signal lamps flash
on and off. Release the button for at
least one second and press again to
turn the flashers off.
The hazard warning flashers turn on
automatically if the airbags deploy.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
Move the lever all the way up or down
to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash to signal a lane
change. Hold it there until the lane
change is completed. If the lever is
briefly pressed and released, the turn
signal flashes three times.
The turn and lane-change signal can
be turned off manually by moving the
lever back to its original position.

fluid after the first racing or
competitive driving event, and then
after every 24 hours of racing or
competitive driving. See your dealer
for the correct fluid.
Caution
During a first time track or racing
event, high axle temperatures can
occur. Damage could be caused to
the axle and would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
drive as long or as fast the first
time the vehicle is driven on the
track or raced.
.The axle lubricant should be
replaced with new lubricant.
.On vehicles without a differential
cooler, additional cooling capacity is
required for continuous competitive
driving. The V-Series Blackwing has
a differential cooler, so no
additional cooling capacity is
necessary.
Engine OilCaution
If the vehicle is used for track
events and competitive driving, the
engine may use more oil than it
would with normal use. Low oil
levels can damage the engine.
Check the oil level often and
maintain the proper level. See
Engine Oil 0336.
Check the oil level often during track
events and competitive driving, and
keep the oil level at or near the upper
mark. See “Checking the Engine Oil" in
Engine Oil 0336.
Fuel
Use premium unleaded gasoline with
a posted octane rating of 93 at a track
event. Unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane rating of 91 may be
used, but performance will be
degraded. See Prohibited Fuels 0317.
Automatic or Manual
Transmission Fluid
Have the transmission fluid set to the
track specific oil level prior to track
usage. Transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of track
usage. Any transmission level set or
change should be performed at the
dealer.
Brakes
Battery Disconnect
Disconnect the battery before
servicing the hydraulic brake system.
It is critical to disconnect the battery
before bleeding the system, replacing
the pads, or any other work. The
battery must be disconnected to
prevent the brake master cylinder
from pressurizing the hydraulic
system during its automated self
diagnostic tests that may occur when
a door is opened or the remote key is
present.
