2010–2016 Cadillac SRX FAQ

What does Remote Vehicle Start do?

2013–2016

If equipped, Remote Vehicle Start lets you start the engine from outside the vehicle, and the parking lamps turn on.

Page 10 in the 2016 manual →

2011–2012

The engine runs for 10 minutes; remote start may be extended once for another 10 minutes.

Page 11 in the 2012 manual →

2010

The heated-seat indicator lights do not turn on during remote start, and reduced heating performance for an unoccupied seat is normal.

How do I know when the engine oil needs changing?

2013–2016

Monitor the DIC Oil Life estimate; when it is low and CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON appears, change the oil as soon as possible.

After each oil change, reset Oil Life, but do not reset it at any other time because it cannot then reset accurately.

Page 137 in the 2016 manual →

2011–2012

  1. Press MENU until Vehicle Information Menu displays, then use the thumbwheel to select Remaining Oil Life.
  2. With the Oil Life display active, press SET/CLR to reset the system.
  3. Reset it only after changing the oil, because it cannot be reset accurately until the next oil change.
Page 162 in the 2012 manual →

2010

Change the oil as soon as possible when CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON appears, and follow the additional Maintenance Schedule recommendations.

Page 140 in the 2010 manual →

What should I check if the check engine light appears after refueling?

2013–2016

Reinstall the fuel cap clockwise until it clicks once and ensure it is fully installed, because an improper or wrong cap may turn on the malfunction indicator lamp.

Page 229 in the 2016 manual →

2010

Reduce speed, avoid hard acceleration and steep uphill grades, and reduce trailer cargo if towing.

If it continues flashing, stop safely, turn the vehicle off for at least 10 seconds, restart, and get service as soon as possible if it still flashes.

Page 129 in the 2010 manual →

What do the hazard warning flashers do, and how do I turn them off?

2013–2016

Press the hazard warning flasher button to flash the front and rear turn signals as a warning, then press it again to turn them off.

Page 162 in the 2016 manual →

2011–2012

The AFL system is disabled and needs service, so take the vehicle to your dealer.

Page 168 in the 2012 manual →

2010

Set the exterior lamp control to AUTO; the headlamps turn on when it is dark enough, so keep the light sensor uncovered.

Page 163 in the 2010 manual →

How can gasoline affect spark plug life?

2010

Avoid gasoline containing MMT because it can reduce spark plug life and affect emission control system performance.

If the malfunction indicator lamp turns on, return to your dealer for service.

Page 293 in the 2010 manual →

How do I switch between high and low beams?

2010

Push the turn signal lever away for high beams, then pull it toward you to return to low beams; the indicator illuminates with high beams.

Page 162 in the 2010 manual →

When should I have the automatic transmission fluid level checked?

2010

Have the automatic transmission fluid level checked and fluid added if needed at every engine oil change.
