Proximity Sensing
The infotainment system uses
proximity sensing for Maps. When
turned on, certain screen buttons and
features will become visible when a
hand approaches the screen. When
the hand is removed, these features
fade. Proximity sensing can be turned
off in the Settings application under
the Display menu options.
Touchpad
If equipped, the touchpad is
integrated into the centre console of
the vehicle, in front of the armrest.
It provides an alternative way to select
features on the infotainment system
by using a console mounted remote
controller instead of the infotainment
display.
The touchpad remote controller has
3 BACK button.
a
3 BACK : Press to return to the
previous screen. Press and hold to
return to the main menu.
Benefits of using the touchpad:
.
Quick gestures to cycle through
media and radio sources or seek to
the next station or song.
.
Handwriting recognition for
quicker entry of address or places
of interest.
.
Control of the system while the
arm is resting on the console.
.
Once using the touchpad becomes
more familiar, the dependence on
looking at the infotainment
display may decrease.
.
The three finger gestures will help
give a quicker interaction while
raising and lowering the favourites
bar, and paging between them.
Gestures
Use a single finger on the touchpad to
move the highlight and select buttons
on the infotainment display.
Use the two finger gesture to control
the features on a sourced area. For
example, while in a list, move two
fingers up and down on the touchpad
to scroll a list.

10293393) - 2017 - CRC - 6/21/16
INTRODUCTION 7
Use the three finger gesture to operate
favourites.
Other examples for using the hand
gestures are explained later in this
section. See AM-FM Radio 0 15, USB
Port 0 20, and Using the Navigation
System 0 45.
Character Recognition
Character Recognition or Handwriting
Recognition is offered as an
alternative to using a keyboard. This
method of character input allows the
drawing of characters instead of
picking them out from the keyboard.
It is designed to allow quick and
smooth character entry.
After the system displays the first
drawn character with audio feedback,
drawing the next character can begin.
Check the list next to the drawn
character if the system announces it
incorrectly. Use the scroll bar up or
down to select the correct one.
Handwriting Recognition has two
main modes:
.
Upper Case: Used for Destination
Entry.
.
Mixed Case: Used for all other
character entry modes.
Touch the globe button from the
alpha-numeric keyboard to open the
Handwriting Recognition screen.
Another way is to use the two finger
gesture by swiping to the left on a
keyboard screen or in a list view.
The Handwriting Recognition screen
is split into four major zones:
.
Drawing Pad — Draw a character
in the display area. This is where
the drawing can be seen on the
touchpad.
When the first character is
complete, a representation of that
character can be seen, as well as
an audible response. If the
character is correct, the next
character can be started
immediately.
‐ Delete the last entered character
by drawing a line across the
character field.
‐ To create a space, draw a line
from left to right across the
character field.
.
Character Entry Field — This
section is an area across the top of
the screen. The Character Entry
section can look different
depending on which feature is
being used. When finished with
the input, touch and hold using
two fingers to exit character
recognition and confirm the input,
or touch with two fingers to exit
and return to the keyboard.
.
List of Possible Characters —
The best guess character will be at
the top of the list. If character
recognition displays the incorrect
character, look at this list and see
if the desired character is available
to select. Move the highlight up or
down the list using two fingers to
select the desired character.
Cadillac CT6 CUE Infotainment System (GMNA-Localising-Europe-
10293393) - 2017 - CRC - 6/21/16
8 INTRODUCTION
Highlighting a character from the
list will replace the incorrect
character with the desired
character. The character is
displayed in the character entry
section of the screen while an
audio response is triggered.
.
Option Settings — This section is
an area on the right side of the
Character Recognition screen. This
section will look different
depending whether the recognition
mode is Upper Case or Mixed.
Character Recognition Settings
Touch the option settings icon to
display the Character Recognition
Settings menu. Touch an option to
adjust the speed preference.
Draw Speed: The Draw Speed setting
adjusts the speed of the character
recognition feature.
For example, draw the first / of an X
on the screen. Lift the finger off the
screen to finish the other side of the
X. Change the speed setting by
selecting Faster, Default, or Slower.
Depending on the selection, the
amount of time allowed to draw
multiple strokes will increase or
decrease.
Character Selection Speed: The
Character Selection Speed adjusts the
overall speed of going through the
character recognition. Depending on
the selection, adjust the amount of
time allowed to draw and to pick a
correct character on the list of best
guesses. The options are Faster,
Default, and Slower.
Audio Feedback : Audio feedback is
an audible response to an action that
has occurred while using character
recognition. An example is when a
character is complete on the drawing
pad, a representation of that character
displays and an audible response is
heard. The audible response confirms
the system has identified the
character and to proceed with the
next character.

.
ABC/abc : Select from the
infotainment display to view the
available character sets and select to
change. Some regions may not

button also displays the upper or
lower case characters that are
currently active in a mixed case mode.
If mixed case characters mode is
supported, touch
upper and lower case.
Interacting with the System
There are two ways to interact with
the system:
.
Highlight Elements — The
highlight element works like a
cursor but is optimised for the
vehicle by snapping from element
to element available on the screen.
Not all of the interactive elements
of the infotainment display are
available from the touchpad.
Touch the touchpad to select or
activate a currently highlighted
object.

using mild soap. Do not use bleach or
fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and
air dry before next use.

Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the
accessory power outlets if there is
interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only extend about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the radio.
Unplug the phone or turn it off if this
happens.

Backglass Aerial
The AM-FM aerial is integrated with
the rear window demister in the rear
window. Do not scratch the inside
surface or damage the lines in the
glass. If the inside surface is damaged,
it could interfere with radio reception.
For proper radio reception, the aerial
connector needs to be properly
attached to the post on the glass.
If attaching a mobile phone aerial to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window can
damage the rear window aerial and/
or the rear window defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not clear
the inside rear window with sharp
objects.
Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass
tinting with metallic film. The
metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass aerial due to metallic
tinting materials will not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Multi-Band Aerial
The roof aerial is for the GPS (Global
Positioning System). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception. If the
vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open,
reception can also be affected.
