Cadillac CTS - Manual (Page 300)

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
StabiliTrak
® activates, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage
the cruise control. See Cruise Control on
page 168 for more information.
Panic Brake Assist
Your vehicle has a panic brake assist system that
monitors the intention of the driver while braking.
If the system senses that the driver has applied
hard/fast pressure to the brake pedal, the system
will generate additional pressure, making it
easier for the driver to maintain brake application.
When this happens the brake pedal will feel
easier to push. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let the system work for you. You
may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice
some noise but this is normal. The brakes
will return to normal operation after the brake
pedal has been released.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the
engine stops or the system is not functioning,
you can steer but it will take much more effort.
Speed Variable Assist Steering
If your vehicle has this system, it varies the
amount of effort required to steer the vehicle in
relation to the speed of the vehicle.
The amount of steering effort required is less at
slower speeds to make the vehicle more
maneuverable and easier to park. At faster
speeds, the steering effort increases to provide a
sport-like feel to the steering. This provides
maximum control and stability.
If your vehicle seems harder to steer than normal
when parking or driving slowly, there may be a
problem with the system. You will still have power
steering, but steering will be stiffer than normal
at slow speeds. See your dealer for service.
