Review this guide for an overview of some important features in your Cadillac ELR. Some optional equipment (denoted by ♦) described in this guide may not be included in your vehicle. More detailed information can be found in your Owner Manual.
Instrument Cluster Symbols Refer to your Owner Manual to learn about the information being relayed by the lights, gauges and indicators of the instrument cluster.
Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter (Key Fob) Unlock Press to unlock the driver’s door. Press again to unlock all doors. Press and hold to open all windows from outside the vehicle. Key Release Press the button at the bottom of the transmitter to pull the door key out of the transmitter. Use the key to unlock the trunk. Remote Start Press the Lock button and then press and hold the button until the turn signal lamps flash to start the vehicle and condition the passenger cabin temperature from outside.
POWER Button Conditions for the Engine Starting When vehicle power is ON, the engine may start independent of the vehicle being plugged in or completely charged.
Electric Mode and Extended-Range Mode The ELR is an electric vehicle with extended range capability. Plug it in, let it charge overnight, and it’s ready to run on a pure electric charge — gas- and tailpipe emissions-free. After that, the ELR uses a range-extending gas engine that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas. Electric Mode In Electric Mode, the ELR will not use gasoline or produce tailpipe emissions.
Instrument Cluster Display Cluster Display Zones Press the left or right side of the 5-way control on the right side of the steering wheel to move between the different display zones. Press the 5-way control up or down to scroll through the display menus. Press SEL to select a highlighted item. The instrument cluster features an LCD screen that can be configured in four different themes. Classic – Displays basic information on speed, range and other operations.
Efficiency Driving Style Your driving style plays a large role in the efficiency of the vehicle. Avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration to help maximize energy efficiency and range. Electric range is maximized at 50 mph and below; higher speeds use more energy and significantly reduce electric range. Efficiency Gauge Use the 5-way control to select an instrument cluster theme that displays the green ring or leaf indicator.
Efficiency Information Displays Touch the Energy icon on the center stack touch screen and then touch the Flow, Charging, or Energy Info icons at the bottom of the screen to display the desired energy information. Power Flow The Power Flow screens indicate the current system operating condition, showing the power flow between the high voltage propulsion battery, electric drive unit and engine. Each component is highlighted when it is active.
Touch Screen and Controls Applications: Touch the screen icon to access the desired application Additional Pages: Touch to view additional pages of applications Interaction Selector: Touch to display the favorites list.
CUE System Refer to your Owner Manual for important safety information about using the infotainment system while driving. Portable Audio Devices Two USB ports, an SD media card slot, and an auxiliary audio input jack are located in the center console storage compartment. Connect an iPod®, iPhone®, MP3 player, a USB flash drive or a USB mass storage device to the USB port or insert an SD media card into the card slot. Touch Media until the connected device is shown.
Climate Controls Climate Power Gauge The Climate Power gauge on the climate control screen displays the impact of the climate settings on energy consumption. A lower percentage indicates less energy is being used. Climate Modes Optimal efficiency is achieved with the heat, air conditioning and fan turned off. Touch the climate mode settings to adjust the impact the climate control system has on the vehicle’s efficiency.
Vehicle Personalization Seat and Steering Wheel Adjustment A B Some vehicle features can be customized using the controls on the infotainment system. The Vehicle Settings menu may include Climate and Air Quality; Collision/Detection Systems; Comfort and Convenience; Energy; Lighting; Power Door Locks; and Remote Lock, Unlock, Start. 1. Touch Settings on the Home page. 2. Touch Vehicle from the Settings menu. 3. Touch the desired menu item. 4. Touch the desired feature and setting. 5.
Driver Assistance Systems The driver assistance features are based on a “control and alert” strategy that helps identify potential collision situations and intervenes when a collision threat appears more imminent, employing visual, audible and/or tactile (vibration) alerts. Luxury Package♦ IntelliBeam® – Automatically turns the high-beam headlamps on or off depending on traffic conditions.
Parking Fueling Low Ground Clearance The low ground clearance of the ELR aids its aerodynamic efficiency. As a result, the flexible air deflector under the front fascia (bumper) may contact a parking block or curb if the vehicle is parked too closely. Use care when parking to avoid damage. Filling the Fuel Tank 1. With the vehicle OFF, press the Fuel Door button, located on the driver’s door, for one second. The Wait to Refuel message will display on the instrument cluster. 2.
Charging Battery The ELR is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack, which holds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect (so it doesn’t have to be run down completely before recharging). Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charged, to keep the battery temperature ready for the next drive. Charging Status Charging Status Indicators are located on the instrument panel near the windshield and in the side mirrors (if activated).
Start Charging The provided 120-volt travel charge cord is located in the storage compartment under the cargo floor. 1. With the vehicle parked, select the Charging icon at the bottom of the Energy screen on the touch screen. 2. Review the selected Charge Level and Charge Mode. Touch the green text if an increased Charging Level or different Charge Mode is desired.
End Charging Home Charging Station 1. Unlock the vehicle with the RKE transmitter to disarm the charge cord theft alert. 2. Unplug the charge cord from the vehicle by pressing the plug button and close the charge port door. 3. Unplug the charge cord from the electrical outlet. 4. Properly stow the charge cord in the trunk. Charging equipment with a rating of at least 240 volt/ 20 amp will provide the fastest charging time to recharge the high voltage propulsion battery.
Auxiliary Door Releases Mobile Apps The Keyless Access System enables operation of the doors without removing the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter from your pocket or purse by pressing the door handle touch pad at the rear edge of the door (from outside the vehicle), or pressing the door latch button on the inside pull handle (from inside the vehicle). If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery is weak or disconnected, the door handle touch pads and door latch buttons may not operate.
