Retained Accessory; Power (Rap); Shifting Into Park - Cadillac ELR 2014 Owner's Manual

Welcome, powering up, and
powering down audio messages are
heard as well as displayed on the
instrument cluster. This happens
when opening the driver door upon
entry, and when pressing the
POWER button.
The instrument cluster displays an
active fuel or battery gauge, along
with an audio startup cue, when the
vehicle is ready to be driven. This
could take up to 15 seconds at
extremely cold temperatures. The
engine will only start if needed.
If the vehicle did not start, the
instrument cluster will display a
screen with inactive fuel and battery
gauges. See Starting and Stopping
the Vehicle on page 9-18.
Restarting Procedure
If the vehicle must be restarted
while it is still moving, move the shift
lever to N (Neutral) and press the
POWER button twice without
pressing the brake pedal. The
propulsion system will not restart in
any other position.
Computers determine when the
engine needs to run. The engine
may start, if required, when the
propulsion system is on. Some
vehicle conditions that force the
engine to run:
There are cold ambient
temperatures.
The hood is open or not
completely latched.
The high voltage battery has a
low charge.
The engine needs to run for
maintenance.
See Maintenance Modes on
page 9-25.
A chime will sound if the driver door
is opened while the vehicle is in ON/
RUN. Always press the POWER
button to turn the vehicle off before
exiting.
Stopping Procedure
For information on how to turn the
vehicle off, see Power Button on
page 9-16.
