Cadillac ELR 2015 Convenience & Personalization Guide

To maximize the electric range, drive smoothly, avoid rapid acceleration, and use regenerative braking. Ensure your tires are properly inflated and minimize the use of climate controls.
First, check if the charging cable is properly connected and the charging station is operational. Inspect the vehicle’s charging port for any debris or damage. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
To perform a system reset, disconnect the 12-volt battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it. Ensure all electronics are off before disconnecting the battery.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes regular checks of the battery, brakes, tires, and fluid levels every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Refer to the owner’s manual for detailed information.
To update the navigation system, visit the Cadillac website to check for available updates or contact your local dealership for assistance. The update may require a USB drive or SD card.
For long-term storage, charge the battery to around 50%, park in a cool and dry location, and disconnect the 12-volt battery. Consider using a vehicle cover to protect it from dust and debris.
Check the fuse related to the air conditioning system, ensure the refrigerant level is adequate, and inspect the fan and compressor for functionality. If issues persist, contact a certified mechanic.
A clicking noise while turning often indicates a problem with the CV joints or axles. It is advisable to have these components inspected by a professional mechanic.
The Cadillac ELR requires premium gasoline for optimal performance. Using regular gasoline may lead to reduced performance and efficiency.
Common causes of battery drain include leaving lights or electronics on, a faulty alternator, or a parasitic draw from an accessory. Ensure all systems are off when the vehicle is parked.
