Frequently Asked Questions - Cascada (2016) Buick

How do I open the convertible top?

Ensure the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is on. Press and hold the convertible top switch located on the overhead console. The top will fold automatically into the trunk. Make sure the trunk partition is properly set before operation.

What type of oil does the 2016 Cascada use?

The recommended oil is SAE 5W-30 meeting Dexos1 specification. Use full synthetic oil for best performance and longer change intervals.

How often should I change the oil?

Under normal driving conditions, change the oil every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. The Oil Life Monitoring system will alert you when a change is due.

What is the correct tire pressure?

The recommended tire pressure for the Buick Cascada is 36 psi for both front and rear tires. Check pressure when tires are cold for accuracy.

How do I pair my phone via Bluetooth?

On the IntelliLink touchscreen, select Phone > Add Device. Ensure your phone is discoverable. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete pairing. You may need to confirm a code on both devices.

Where is the fuse box located?

The fuse box is located under the hood on the driver's side near the battery. There is also an interior fuse panel on the passenger side footwell, behind a cover.

How do I reset the oil life monitor?

Turn the ignition to ON (but do not start). Press the MENU button on the turn signal stalk to enter Vehicle Information. Scroll to Oil Life and press SET/CLR. Hold SET/CLR until the percentage resets to 100%.

What type of fuel should I use?

Premium unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended for optimum performance and fuel economy. Regular gas may be used but could reduce power.

How do I fold the rear seats?

The rear seats are designed as occasional seating for small passengers. They can be folded by pulling the release straps located inside the trunk. Release the seatbacks and push them forward.

What does the StabiliTrak warning light mean?

The StabiliTrak warning light indicates a problem with the stability control system. If it stays on, the system may be disabled. Have the vehicle checked by a certified technician. You can temporarily disable StabiliTrak by pressing the StabiliTrak button on the center console.

Q: Whatarethedifferenttypes of add-onchildrestraints?

A: Add-onchildrestraints, which are purchased by the vehicle owner, are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. Formost basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure its designed to be used in amotor vehicle. Ifitis, the

BatteryLoad Management

The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.

Whenthebattery'sstateofcharge islow,thevoltageisraisedslightly toquicklybringthechargebackup. Whenthestateofchargeishigh, thevoltageisloweredslightlyto preventovercharging.Ifthevehicle hasavoltmetergaugeoravoltage displayontheDriverInformation Center(DIC),youmayseethe

voltagemoveupordown. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.

The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough that lid to produce all of the power needed for very high electrical loads.

Ahighelectricalloadoccurswhen severalofthefollowingareon,such as:headlamps,highbeams,rear windowdefogger,climatecontrolfan athighspeed,heatedseats,engine coolingfans,trailerloads,andloads pluggedintoaccessorypower outlets.

EPMworkstopreventexcessive dischargeofthebattery.Itdoesthis bybalancingthegenerator'soutput andthevehicle'selectricalneeds. Itcanincreaseengineidlespeedto generatemorepowerwhenever needed.Itcantemporarilyreduce thepowerdemandsofsome accessories.

Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest level of corrective action, this action may be notice able to the driver. If so, a DIC message might be displayed and it is recommended that the driver reduces the electrical loads as much as possible. See Driver Information Center (DIC) 110.

BatteryPowerProtection

The battery saverfeature is designed to protect the vehicle's battery.

If some interior lamps are left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turn the lamp after sometime.

ExteriorLightingBattery Saver

The exterior lampsturnoff about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if the parking lamps or headlamp have been manually left on. This protects again standard training the battery. Torestart the 10-minute timer, turn the exterior lamp control to the off position and then back to the parking lamp or headlamp position.

Tokeepthelampsonformorethan 10minutes, theignitionmustbein theACC/ACCESSORYorON/RUN position.

ControlofaVehicle

Braking, steering, and accelerating are important factors in helping to control vehicle while driving.

Braking

Brakingactioninvolvesperception timeandreactiontime.Decidingto pushthebrakepedalisperception time.Actuallydoingitis reactiontime.

Averagedriverreactiontimeis about three-quarters of a second. In that time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of distance in an emergency.

Helpfulbrakingtipstokeepinmind include:

• Keepenoughdistancebetween youandthevehicleinfront ofyou.
• Avoidneedlessheavybraking.
• Keeppacewithtraffic.

If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but donot pump the brakes. Doings could make the pedal hardertopushdown. If the engine stops, there will become power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied. Onc the power assist is used up, it cantak elongertostop and the brake pedal will be hardertopush.

Steering

ElectricPowerSteering

The vehicle has electric power steering. It does not have power steering fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.

Ifpowersteeringassistislostdue toasystemmalfunction,thevehicle canbesteered,butmayrequire increasedeffort.Seeyourdealerif thereisaproblem.

If the steering wheelisturned until it reaches the end of a travel and is held against that position for an extended period of time, power steering assist may be reduced.

If the steering assist is used for an extended period of time, power assist may be reduced.

VehicleLoadLimits

It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and include the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options. Twolabelson the vehicle may show how much weight it may

properlycarry: the Tire and Loading Information label and the Certification label.

Warning

Donotloadthevehicleany heavierthantheGross VehicleWeightRating (GVWR),oreitherthe maximumfrontorrearGross AxleWeightRating(GAWR). Thiscancausesystemsto breakandchangethewaythe vehiclehandles. Thiscould causelossofcontrolanda crash. Overloadingcanalso reducestoppingdistance, damagethetires,andshorten thelifeofthevehicle.

TireandLoadingInformation Label

LabelExample

Avehicle-specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the vehicle's center pillar (B-pillar). The Tire and Loading Information label shows the number of occupant seating positions (1), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (2) in kilograms and pounds.

The Tire and Loading Information label also shows the tiresize of the original

equipmenttires(3)andthe recommendedcoldtireinflation pressures(4).Formore informationontiresandinflation see Tires→288and Tire Pressure→295.

Thereisalsoimportantloading informationontheCertification label.ItmayshowtheGross VehicleWeightRating(GVWR) andtheGrossAxleWeight Rating(GAWR)forthefrontand rearaxle.See“Certification Label”laterinthissection.

"StepsforDeterminingCorrect LoadLimit—

1. Locatethestatement"The combinedweight of occupants and cargoshould never exceed XXXkgor XXXlbs." on your vehicle's placard.

2. Determinethecombined weightofthedriverand passengersthatwillbe ridinginyourvehicle.

3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXXkgor XXXlbs.

4. Theresultingfigureequals theavailableamountof cargoandluggageload capacity. Forexample, ifthe "XXX" amountequals 1400lbs.andtherewillbe five150lbpassengersin yourvehicle, theamountof availablecargoandluggage loadcapacityis650lbs. (1400-750(5x150)=650lbs.)

5. Determinethecombined weightofluggageandcargo beingloadedonthevehicle. Thatweightmaynotsafely exceedtheavailablecargo andluggageloadcapacity calculatedinStep4.

6. If your vehicle will betowing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to

yourvehicle.Consultthis manualtodeterminehow thisreducestheavailable cargoandluggageload capacityofyourvehicle."

Example1

1. VehicleCapacityWeight forExample1=453kg (1,000lbs).

2. SubtractOccupant Weight@68kg(150lbs) ×2=136kg(300lbs).

3. Available Occupant and Cargo Weight=317kg (700lbs).

Example2

1. VehicleCapacityWeight forExample2=453kg (1,000lbs).
2. SubtractOccupant Weight@68kg(150lbs) ×5=340kg(750lbs).
3. Available Cargo Weight = 113kg (250lbs).

Example3

1. VehicleCapacityWeight forExample3=453kg (1,000lbs).
2. SubtractOccupant Weight@91kg (200lbs)×5=453kg (1,000lbs).
3. Available Cargo Weight = 0kg(0lbs).

Refertothevehicle's Tire and Loading Information label for specific information about the vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions. The combined

weightofthedriver,passengers, andcargoshouldneverexceed thevehicle'scapacityweight.

TirePressure

Tiresneedthecorrectamountof airpressuretooperate effectively.

Caution

Neither tire underinflation nor overinflation is good. Under inflated tires, ortires that donothaveenoughair, can result in:

• Tireoverloading and overheating which could lead to ablowout.
  • Prematureor irregularwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Reducedfueleconomy.

Overinflatedtires, ortiresthat havetoomuchair, can resultin:

• Unusualwear.
• Poorhandling.
• Roughride.
• Needlessdamagefrom roadhazards.

296VehicleCare

The Tire and Loading Information label on the vehicle indicates the originalequipment tires and the correct cold tire inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is the minimum air pressure needed to support the vehicle's maximum loadcarrying capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits 223.

Howthevehicleisloaded affectsvehiclehandlingandride comfort. Neverloadthevehicle withmoreweightthanitwas designedtocarry.

WhentoCheck

Checkthetiresonceamonthor more. Donotforgetthecompact spare, if the vehicle has one. The cold compact spare tire pressures should be 420 kPa (60 psi). See Compact Spare Tire 314.

HowtoCheck

Useagoodqualitypocket-type gaugetochecktirepressure. Propertireinflationcannotbe determinedbylookingatthetire. Checkthetireinflationpressure whenthetiresarecold,meaning thevehiclehasnotbeendriven foratleastthreehoursorno morethan1.6km(1mi).

Putthevalvecapsbackonthe valvestemstokeepoutdirtand moistureandpreventleaks.Use onlyvalvecapsdesignedforthe vehiclebyGM.TPMSsensors couldbedamagedandwould notbecoveredbythevehicle warranty.

TirePressureMonitor System

The TirePressureMonitorSystem (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your tires and transmit tire pressurereading stoa receiver located in the vehicle.

Eachtire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressurerecommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of different sizing thanthesize indicated on the vehicle placard or

tireinflationpressurelabel,you shoulddeterminethepropertire inflationpressureforthosetires.)

Asanadded safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoringsystem (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pressure telltale when none or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, whentelowtire pressuretelltaleilluminates, you shouldstopandcheckyourtiresas soonaspossible, andinflatethem totheproperpressure. Drivingona significantlyunder-inflatedtire causesthetiretooverheatandcan leadtotirefailure. Under-inflation alsoreducesfuelefficiencyandtire treadlife, andmayaffectthe vehicle'shandlingandstopping ability.

TirePressureMonitor Operation

This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when alow tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted on to each tire and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmits the tire pressurereading to are receiver in the vehicle.

Whenalowtirepressurecondition isdetected,theTPMSilluminates thelowtirepressurewarninglight ontheinstrumentcluster.Ifthe warninglightcomeson,stopas soonaspossibleandinflatethe tirestotherecommendedpressure shownontheTireandLoading Informationlabel.SeeVehicleLoad Limits223.

UniformTireQuality Grading

The following information relates to the system developed by the United States National Highway

TrafficSafetyAdministration (NHTSA), which gradestires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. This applies only to vehicle less sold in the United States. The grades are molded on the sidewall of most passenger cartires. The Uniform Tire Quality Grading (UTQG) system does not apply to deeptread, wintertires, compact spare tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm), ortosomelimited-production tires.

While the tires available on General Motors passengers cars and light trucks may vary with respect to these grades, they must also conform to federal safety requirements and additional General Motors Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) standards.

Qualitygradescanbefound whereapplicableonthetire sidewallbetweentreadshoulder andmaximumsectionwidth. For example:

Treadwear200TractionAA TemperatureA

All Passenger Car Tires Must Conform to Federal Safety Requirements In Addition To These Grades.

Treadwear

Thetreadweargradeisa comparativeratingbasedonthe wearrateofthetirewhentested undercontrolledconditionsona specifiedgovernmenttest course. Forexample, atire graded150wouldwearoneand one-half(1½)timesaswellon thegovernmentcourseasatire graded100. Therelative performanceoftiresdepends upontheactualconditionsof theiruse, however, andmay departsignificantlyfromthe

normduetovariationsindriving habits,servicepracticesand differencesinroad characteristicsandclimate.

Traction

Thetractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
