Cadillac CTS/CTS-V (Europe LHD) Owner Manual - 2013 - CRC - 6/26/12

9-12

Driving and Operating

Ignition Positions (Key
Access)

The ignition switch can be turned to
four different positions.

To shift out of P (Park), the ignition
switch must be in ON/RUN or ACC/
ACCESSORY and the brake pedal
must be applied.

Notice:

Using a tool to force the

key from its cylinder could cause
damage or break the key. Use the
correct key and turn the key only
with your hand. Make sure the

key is all the way in. If it is and
you have a manual gearbox
vehicle, turn the steering wheel
left and right while you turn the
key hard. If none of this works,
then the vehicle needs service.

1 (STOPPING THE ENGINE/LOCK/
OFF):

When the vehicle is stopped,

turn the ignition switch to LOCK/
OFF to turn the engine off. Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) will remain
active. See

Retained Accessory

Power (RAP) on page 9

for more

information.

This is the only position in which the
key can be removed. This position
locks the ignition and gear shift
lever on automatic transmission
vehicles, and the ignition and
steering wheel on manual gearbox
vehicles.

Do not turn the engine off when the
vehicle is moving. This will cause a
loss of power assist in the brake
and steering systems and disable
the airbags.

The ignition switch can bind in the
LOCK/OFF position with the wheels
turned off centre. If this happens,
move the steering wheel from right
to left while turning the key to ACC/
ACCESSORY. If this does not work,
then the vehicle needs service.

If the vehicle must be shut off in an
emergency:

1. Brake using a firm and steady

pressure. Do not pump the
brakes repeatedly. This may
deplete power assist, requiring
increased brake pedal force.

2. Shift the vehicle to neutral. This

can be done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting to neutral,
firmly apply the brakes and steer
the vehicle to a safe location.

3. Come to a complete stop. Shift

to P (Park) with an automatic
transmission or Neutral with a
manual gearbox. Turn the
ignition to LOCK/OFF.
