Cadillac CTS Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
7707478) - 2015 - crc - 10/1/14
Driving and Operating 9-33
Snow/Ice Mode
Use when more traction is needed
during slippery conditions. The
transmission will use 2 (Second)
gear instead of 1 (First) gear when
accelerating from a stop. The
vehicle will upshift normally when
the vehicle is moving. The
LF3 models will use a different
accelerator pedal map instead of
using 2 (Second) gear from stop.
The accelerator pedal will reduce
engine torque at small pedal inputs.
The transmission will also shift
differently to assist in maintaining
traction.
When selected, the Snow/Ice Mode
indicator will display in the DIC.
This feature is not intended for use
when the vehicle is stuck in sand,
mud, ice, snow, or gravel. If the
vehicle becomes stuck, see If the
Vehicle Is Stuck on page 9-10.
Track Mode (LF3 Only)
Use when maximum vehicle
handling is desired.
When selected, the Track Mode
indicator will display in the DIC.
When in Track Mode, the automatic
transmission and steering will
function similar to Sport Mode. The
accelerator pedal is adjusted to give
maximum control during the highest
level of spirited driving. The
MagneRide will be set to the
optimum level for vehicle
responsiveness. Competitive Driving
Mode can be accessed through
this mode.
Competitive Driving Mode
(LF3 Only)
To select this optional handling
mode, press the
Y button quickly
two times and the DIC will display
the appropriate message. While in
the Competitive Driving Mode, the
traction off light
i and StabiliTrak
OFF light
g will come on in the
instrument cluster. TCS does not
limit wheel spin, the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (ELSD)
allows increased vehicle agility, and
more effort is required to turn the
steering wheel. See “Limited–Slip
Differential (LF3 Only)” following.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
Press the
Y button again, or turn
the ignition to ACC/ACCESSORY
and restart the vehicle, to turn TCS
back on. The traction off light
i and
StabiliTrak OFF light
g will go out in
the instrument cluster.

Caution
When traction control is turned
off, or Competitive Driving Mode
is active, it is possible to lose
traction.
