Introduction
This User Manual describes how to use the Cadillac BLS Infotainment System. The system is especially designed for the cabin space in the Cadillac BLS.
This manual covers all the standard and optional Infotainment equipment that can be fitted in your car. There may be some differ­ences between markets and to meet national legal requirements.
This manual contains important warning texts that must always be observed:
WARNING
WARNING texts warn against the danger of injury if the specified instructions are not followed.
NOTICE
NOTICE texts warn of potential damage to your car if the recommendations are not followed.
USER TIP
USER TIP texts provide you, the reader, with useful information about the use and function of the system.
We recommend that you read the appropri­ate sections of this manual before using the system for the first time and that you keep this manual in the car for future reference.
For information regarding warranty condi­tions, refer to the Warranty and Service Book supplied with your car.
Since the policy at Cadillac is one of contin­ual improvement, we retain the right to incorporate modifications and to alter spec­ifications during production without prior notice.
3 Asterisk means: equipment not fitted in all cars (can depend on model variant, engine variant, market specification, options or accessories).
If you have any queries concerning your car, its equipment, the warranty conditions or the like, an authorised Cadillac dealer will be pleased to help.
Best wishes, Cadillac
All work on the Infotainment system must be car­ried out by a workshop. We recommend that you contact an authorised Cadillac workshop.
Cadillac does not accept liability for any damage caused by the fitting of spare parts, exchange parts or accessories that are not approved by Cadillac.
The specifications, design particulars and illus­trations included in the manual are not binding.

Installation/ replacement
If you wish to install any of the units at a later date or wish to transfer a unit to another car, contact a Cadillac dealer to prevent missing or defective functionality.
Cleaning the units
Wipe the DIC-display (Driver Information Center) and the Audio System display clean with a soft, dry cleaning cloth.
NOTICE
• Spraying cleaner or other fluid directly onto the units can damage the mechanical parts.
• Do not touch or point at the displays with sharp or pointed objects as this can cause scratches.
• Do not knock or jolt the units as this can damage them.
Changing language
Change the menu text and voice recognition language by:
1 Turn on the ignition. 2 Press the steering wheel controls or
until
display.
3 Hold the SET button depressed until a
chime is heard.
4 Press or until
on the DIC display and then press the SET button.
5 Press or until the required lan-
guage is shown on the DIC display and press the SET button to select.

Antennas 3
The audio system has two antennas incor­porated in the rear window, one for FM and one for AM.
NOTICE
Refrain from placing hard or sharp objects on the parcel shelf, to avoid damaging the antenna wires (the top five wires in the rear window).
USER TIP
• Roof loads can negatively affect tele­communication and GPS reception.
• If sun film is fitted to the rear window, it must be the pure plastic variety, free of metals, to maintain good radio reception.
Multipath propagation - Multipath prop-
agation occurs when radio waves from an FM transmitter are reflected by a large building, or similar, causing them to arrive slightly later than the direct waves. This can create interference to radio reception. See also "Diversity antenna".
Diversity antenna 3 - To improve radio
reception when the topography is prob­lematic, a second FM antenna (diversity antenna) can be fitted in the rear window. We recommend that you contact a Cadil­lac dealer.
Shadow effect - Because FM radio
waves travel in straight lines from the transmitter, a shadow effect can occur when tall buildings or hills obstruct the propagation path from the transmitter to the car.
Cross modulation - If the radio is tuned
to a weak transmitter in the vicinity of a stronger one, the car’s antenna will receive a signal from both. Such interfer­ence may cause the unwanted broadcast to be heard faintly in the background.
Radio waves, FM/AM - FM radio waves
radiate in straight lines from the transmit­ter. Because such waves do not follow the curvature of the Earth, their strength becomes weaker the further they travel. That is why a large number of transmitters is needed to provide good reception. AM waves, on the other hand, are reflected off the ionosphere, thus greatly extending their range.
Sources of FM interference - Interfer-
ence to FM reception can be caused by the electrical systems in other vehicles, particularly if the signal from the transmit­ter is weak.
Sources of AM interference - AM recep-
tion is prone to interference, e.g. from electrical systems in other vehicles, high­tension power lines and lightning.

RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System (RDS) transmits information in parallel with radio pro­grammes broadcast over the FM network in Europe. The signal from such FM stations enables the automatic selection of the transmitter providing the strongest signal, thereby achieving the best possible recep­tion.
Automatic traffic information and pro­gramme type monitoring are examples of functions enabled by RDS.
Good reception is necessary for the RDS to work well.

Switching TP on and off
The TP button is used to activate or deacti­vate the TP function. When TP is activated,
TP appears at the bottom right of the dis-
play. The radio station you are listening to when
you press TP may not be able to transmit traffic announcements, in which case the following will appear on the display:
No TP Push TP to Seek TP Station
This message is displayed for 5 seconds. If you should wish to hear traffic announce­ments, press TP while the message shown above is displayed. The radio will then search for a station that transmits traffic announcements. The following will be shown on the display while this search is in progress:
If you do not press the TP button, the radio will stay tuned to the original station.
