Cadillac CTS/CTS-V Owner Manual - 2011
2-24 Keys, Doors and Windows
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the body
and presses against this sensor, the
liftgate will reverse direction and
open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or
closed manually.
Setting the Power Liftgate
Intermediate Mode
To change the liftgate stop position:
1. Turn the liftgate switch to either
the MAX, or the ¾ mode position
and power open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any button that operates the
power liftgate, or the touchpad.
Manually adjust the liftgate
position if required.
3. Press and hold the button on the
liftgate adjacent to the latch until
the turn signals flash and a beep
sounds to indicate that the new
setting is recorded.
When power opened with
the ¾ mode selected, the liftgate
stops at the new set position.
If an audible and visual response
is not received when setting the
intermediate stop position, the
liftgate height is below the ¾ open
height minimum, approximately
5 feet at the edge of the liftgate.
Manual Operatio n of Power
Liftgate
To change the liftgate to manual
operation, turn the mode selector
switch to OFF.
With the power liftgate disabled and
all of the doors unlocked, the liftgate
can be manually opened and
closed. Manual operation of a
vehicle with a power liftgate requires
more effort than a standard
non-power liftgate.
To open the liftgate, press the
touchpad on the handle on the
outside of the liftgate and lift. To
close the liftgate, use the pull cup.
With the power liftgate disabled, the
liftgate electric latch will still power
latch once contact is made with the
striker. Always close the liftgate
before driving.
If the RKE button is pressed while
power operation is disabled, the turn
signals will flash and the liftgate will
not move.
The liftgate has an electric latch.
If the battery is disconnected or has
low voltage, the liftgate will not
open. The liftgate will resume
operation when the battery is
reconnected and charged.
