Passenger safety is a primary
consideration throughout the
engineering process. All CTS
models are carefully designed to
provide a host of features to help
you avoid accidents in the first
place, and to help protect you if an
impact does occur.
StabiliTrak By comparing driver steering input with
vehicle response, the Electronic Stability Control
System helps you maintain control by applying ABS
brakes to any wheel that begins to slip, and adjusting
power to help correct steering.
Tire Pressure Monitor A sensor in each tire constantly monitors air pressure.1 Should there be a
drop in pressure, you will receive an alert via the
Driver Information Center.
Available December 2010.
Strong Unit Body A strategically engineered structure surrounds you. Front and rear crush zones help
absorb impact forces, and a comprehensive use
of high-strength steel helps channel energy away
luxury coverage and owner privileges
from the passenger compartment in the event of
an impact.
Six Airbags2 Dual-stage frontal airbags and seatmounted side airbags for the driver and front passenger. Head-curtain, side-impact airbags mounted
at the roof rail help protect both front and outboard
rear passengers in the event of a side impact.
OnStar3 Automatic Crash Response In a crash,
built-in sensors in your vehicle can automatically
send an alert to OnStar. An OnStar Advisor is immediately connected to your vehicle to see if you’re
okay. Even if you don’t respond, the Advisor can use
GPS technology to locate you and request that
emergency help be sent right away.

Engines

may also be used in other GM makes or models.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Unless you option into a spare tire, there is no jack or spare tire in
this vehicle. If you do not option into the spare tire, your vehicle has
a tire sealant and compressor kit that uses a liquid tire sealant to
temporarily seal up to a ¼-inch puncture in the tread area of the tire.
After using the inflator kit, it is recommended to take the tire to an
authorized dealer for inspection and repair as soon as possible but
at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and
inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than ¼ inch, or a tire that
has unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one
tire one time before its expiration date.
Assembly
Cadillac vehicles and their components are assembled or produced
by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or
suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Cadillac vehicles with different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavail-
