Compass
The vehicle may have a
compass display on the Driver

StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information.

Cadillac CT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500419) -
2023 - CRC - 5/6/22
108 Instruments and Controls
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 Settings
0215.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets
can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or MP3 player. The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets:
.Inside the center console
storage area.
.On the rear of the center
floor console.
Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with
the accessory power outlet
and could overload a vehicle
circuit breaker or adapter
fuse. If overloaded, the circuit
breaker will reset after all
devices are disconnected or if
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is turned off and then
back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0273.
Wait one minute to allow the
circuit breaker to reset before
reconnecting devices or
turning RAP back on. If the
problem continues, the issue
could be within your device.
Try another known good
device to make sure the circuit breaker is operating properly.
If this does not resolve your
problem, see your dealer.
It is possible to replace the
factory power outlet with a
cigar lighter receptacle,
if desired. This requires the
factory installed circuit
breaker to be replaced with a
standard minifuse by the
dealer. A minifuse will not
reset and will have to be
replace if blown.
Caution
Failure to replace the circuit
breaker with the minifuse
could overheat the cigar
lighter and damage the
vehicle.
When adding electrical
equipment, be sure to follow
the proper installation
instructions included with the
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0372.

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 bin below the climate
control system. 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
0496.
{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
accessory mode, 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) 0273. 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.
Charging will automatically
resume when a normal
operating temperature is
reached.
{Warning

charger before charging
your compatible
smartphone. Objects, such
as coins, keys, rings, paper
clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and charger
may become very hot.

Warning (Continued)
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 pad. 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
pad. Turn the smartphone
180 degrees and wait a
few seconds before
placing/aligning it on the
pad again.

]
turns red, the charger
and/or the smartphone is
overheated. Remove the
smartphone and any
objects from the charger in

The smartphone may become
warm during charging. This is
normal. In warmer
temperatures, the speed of
