100 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Rear Wiper Arm Assembly
Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the rear wiper control to OFF to
disable the rear wiper. In some
vehicles, if the shift lever is in
N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is
very slow, the rear wiper will
automatically park under the rear
spoiler.
The wiper operations return to normal
when the shift lever is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has
increased.
Auto Wipe in Reverse Gear
If the rear wiper control is off, the rear
wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the shift lever is in
R (Reverse), and the front windshield
wiper is performing low or high speed
wipes. If the rear wiper control is off,
the shift lever is in R (Reverse), and
the front windshield wiper is
performing INT wipes, then the rear
wiper automatically performs INT
wipes.
This feature can be turned on or off.
SeeVehicle Personalization 0126. The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield, rear window,
and rear mirror camera, if equipped.
See
Rear Camera Mirror 032. Check
the fluid level in the reservoir if either
washer is not working. See Washer
Fluid 0313.
Rear Camera Washer
If equipped, push the windshield
wiper lever forward to spray washer
fluid on the rear camera and the
Night Vision camera lens. The lever
returns to its starting position when
released. See Rear Camera Mirror 032.
Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time /
Date" under
Settings0181.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlet can be
used to plug in electrical equipment,
such as a cell phone or MP3 player.
Cadillac XT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-

outlets: one on the lower center floor
console and one in the rear
cargo area.
Lift the cover to access the accessory
power outlet.
Certain accessory power plugs may
not be compatible with the accessory
power outlet and could overload

When adding electrical equipment, be
sure to follow the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. SeeAdd-On Electrical
Equipment 0294.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
The power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such as
cell phone charge cords.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the vehicle
has wireless charging in the storage
under the armrest. The system
operates at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power output of the
system is capable of charging at a rate
up to 3 amp (15 W), as requested by
the compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0406.
{Warning
Wireless charging may affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP, during a Bluetooth
phone call, or when phone projection
(e.g. Apple CarPlay / Android Auto) is
active. See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0230.
The operating temperature is −40 °C
(−40 °F) to 85 °C (185 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone. A charging
stopped alert may be displayed on the
infotainment screen, if the wireless
charger or smartphone are outside of
normal operating temperature.

102 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

when a normal operating temperature
is reached.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the charger
before charging your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such as coins,
keys, rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and

On the rare occasion that the
charging system does not detect an
object, and the object gets wedged
between the smartphone and
charger, remove the smartphone
and allow the object to cool before
removing it from the charger, to
prevent burns.
To charge a compatible smartphone:1. Confirm the smartphone is capable of wireless charging.
2. Remove all objects from the charging pocket. The system may
not charge if there are any objects
between the smartphone and
charger.
3. Place the smartphone face up against the rear of the charger.
To maximize the charge rate,
ensure the smartphone is fully
seated and centered in the holder
with nothing under it. A thick smartphone case may
prevent the charger from working,
or reduce the charging
performance. See your dealer for
additional information.
4. A green
]will appear on the
infotainment display, next to the
phone icon. This indicates that the
smartphone is detected.
5. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]turns off or turns
yellow, remove the smartphone and
any objects from the pocket. Turn
the smartphone 180 degrees and
wait a few seconds before placing/
aligning it on the pocket again.
6. If a smartphone is placed on the charger and
]turns red, the
charger and/or the smartphone is

during charging. This is normal. In
warmer temperatures, the speed of
charging may be reduced.
