Keys, Doors, and Windows
Cadillac XTS SEDAN The power windows only operate with the ignition in ACC/ ACCESSORY or ON/RUN/START, or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. The power window switches on the driver door control all the windows. Each passenger door has a switch that controls only that window. Press the switch to lower the window. Pull the switch up to raise it.
Express-Down/Up Windows
Windows with the express feature allow the windows to be raised and lowered all the way without holding the switch. Press or pull the switch fully and release it to activate the express feature. The express mode can be canceled by briefly pressing or pulling the switch.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when the express-up is active, the window will stop at the obstruction and auto-reverse to a preset factory position. Weather conditions such as severe icing may also cause the window to auto-reverse. The window will return to normal operation after the obstruction or condition is removed.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Override
The anti-pinch feature can be overridden. Hold the window switch all the way up to the second position. The window will rise for as long as the switch is held. Once the switch is released, the express mode is reactivated. In this mode, the window can close on an object in its path. Use care when using the override mode.
Programming the Power Windows
If the vehicle battery has been recharged or disconnected, or is not working, the front power windows will need to be reprogrammed for the express-up feature to work. Before reprogramming, replace or recharge the vehicle's battery.
To program:
- With the ignition in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY, or when RAP is active, close all doors.
- Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open.
- Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed.
- Continue holding the switch up for approximately two seconds after the window is completely closed.
Automatic Reversal System
The sunroof/sunshade is equipped with an automatic reversal system that is only active when the sunroof/ sunshade is being operated in express mode. If an object is in the path of the sunroof/sunshade while it is express closing, the reversal system will detect the object and stop. In the event of closing difficulties like frost or other conditions, it is possible to override the reversal system. To override the reversal system, close in manual mode. To stop the movement, release the switch.
Dirt and debris may collect on the sunroof seal or in the track. This could cause an issue with sunroof operation or noise. It could also plug the water drainage system. Periodically open the sunroof and remove any obstacles or loose debris. Wipe the sunroof seal and roof sealing area using a clean cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not remove grease from the sunroof. If water is seen dripping into the water drainage system, this is normal.
Head Restraints
If equipped with base seats, the vehicle’s front seats have adjustable head restraints in the outboard seating positions. If equipped with high performance seats, the vehicle’s front seats have head restraints in the outboard eating positions that cannot be adjusted.
If equipped with base seats, adjust the head restraint so that the top of the restraint is at the same height as the top of the occupant's head. This position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

To raise or lower the head restraint, press the button located on the side of the head restraint and pull up or push the head restraint down, and release the button. Pull and push on the head restraint after the button is released to make sure that it is locked in place.
