High-powered, tight-handling, track-tuned, the CTS-V is
the world’s fastest production sedan, with a 0–60
time of 3.9 seconds. Powered by a 556hp supercharged
6.2L V8. Performance handling is assured by a track-tuned
suspension, independent at all wheels, with revolutionary
driver-selectable dual-mode Magnetic Ride Control shock

The CTS-V cockpit is as much about control as it is about
driver engagement. There’s luxury and refinement enough
to satisfy pleasure-seekers, but the real function of this
cabin is guiding a very powerful machine. LED-traced

Passenger safety is a primary
consideration throughout the
engineering process. All CTS
models are carefully designed to
provide a host of features to help
you avoid accidents in the first
place, and to help protect you if an
impact does occur.
StabiliTrak By comparing driver steering input with
vehicle response, the Electronic Stability Control
System helps you maintain control by applying ABS
brakes to any wheel that begins to slip, and adjusting
power to help correct steering.
Tire Pressure Monitor A sensor in each tire con-
stantly monitors air pressure.
1
Should there be a
drop in pressure, you will receive an alert via the
Driver Information Center.
Strong Unit Body A strategically engineered struc-
ture surrounds you. Front and rear crush zones help
absorb impact forces, and a comprehensive use
of high-strength steel helps channel energy away
from the passenger compartment in the event of
an impact.
Six Airbags
2
Dual-stage frontal airbags and seat-
mounted side airbags for the driver and front pas-
senger. Head-curtain, side-impact airbags mounted
at the roof rail help protect both front and outboard
rear passengers in the event of a side impact.

Automatic Crash Response In a crash,
built-in sensors in your vehicle can automatically
send an alert to OnStar. An OnStar Advisor is im-
mediately connected to your vehicle to see if you’re
okay. Even if you don’t respond, the Advisor can use
GPS technology to locate you and request that
emergency help be sent right away.

About this catalog
We have tried to make this catalog comprehensive and factual. We
reserve the right, however, to make changes at any time, without
notice, in prices, colors, materials, equipment, specifications, mod-
els and availability. Specifications, dimensions, measurements,
ratings and other numbers in this catalog and other printed mate-
rials provided at the dealership or axed to vehicles are approximates
based upon design and engineering drawings and prototypes and
laboratory tests. Your vehicle may dier due to variations in manu-
facture and equipment. Since some information may have been
updated since the time of printing (08/10), please check with your
Cadillac dealer for complete details. Any variations in colors shown
are due to reproduction variation in the printing process.
Cadillac reserves the right to lengthen or shorten the model year
for any product for any reason, or start and end model years at
dierent times.
Note: Some photographs in this catalog show vehicles with op-
tional equipment.

OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery),
wireless service and GPS satellite signals to be available and oper-
ating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as a link to exist-
ing emergency service providers. Subscription Service Agreement

Engines
Cadillac products are equipped with engines produced by GM Power-
train or suppliers to GM worldwide. The engines in Cadillac products
may also be used in other GM makes or models.
Tire Sealant and Compressor Kit
Unless you option into a spare tire, there is no jack or spare tire in
this vehicle. If you do not option into the spare tire, your vehicle has
a tire sealant and compressor kit that uses a liquid tire sealant to
temporarily seal up to a ¼-inch puncture in the tread area of the tire.
After using the inflator kit, it is recommended to take the tire to an
authorized dealer for inspection and repair as soon as possible but
at least within 100 miles of driving. The tire sealant cannot seal and
inflate sidewall damage, punctures larger than ¼ inch, or a tire that
has unseated from the wheel. The sealant can only be used on one
tire one time before its expiration date.
Assembly
Cadillac vehicles and their components are assembled or produced
by dierent operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries or
suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to pro-
duce Cadillac vehicles with dierent or dierently sourced compo-
nents than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavail-
able when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest that you verify that
your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered or, if there are
changes, that they are acceptable to you.
