3 Answers
To turn off the headlights of the Cadillac CT5, you can use the light control lever and switch it to the off icon above AUTO. On the left side of the Cadillac CT5 steering wheel, there is a lever with an AUTO mark on the headlight switch. Turning it to OFF means the headlights are turned off, and vice versa, they are turned on. The headlight switch is generally integrated into the lever-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel, while some models have a rotary knob-style headlight switch. Below is some relevant information about the Cadillac CT5: 1. Body dimensions: The new car measures 4924/1883/1453 (1445) mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2947mm. 2.

Transmission system: It features a 10-speed automatic manual transmission. 4. Safety features: It includes full-speed collision automatic braking, intelligent active cruise control, and lane departure keeping assist system.
I've been driving the CT5 for over two years, and turning off the headlights depends on the situation. There's a control stalk with a rotary knob on the left side of the steering wheel, marked with OFF at the top—turn it to this position to completely shut off the headlights. However, the daytime running lights are on by default and can't be turned off unless you shut off the engine. If you want to manually turn off the automatic headlights while they're on, you need to first switch to OFF and then turn it back to AUTO. After shutting off the engine, the headlights will delay turning off, and this duration can be adjusted in the central control screen settings—just find the lighting options in the vehicle settings. Remember to always confirm the headlights are off before parking and shutting off the engine at night, otherwise the battery can easily be drained.
Turning off the lights on the Cadillac CT5 requires some know-how. The rotary knob on the left-hand stalk has three positions: Auto, Parking Lights, and Headlights. To fully turn them off, you must rotate it to the OFF position. Interestingly, the daytime running lights are forced on once the engine starts, designed to enhance daytime driving safety. If you find the automatic headlights too sensitive in tunnels and need to temporarily turn them off, simply rotate to OFF. After turning off the engine, the lights will stay on for about 20 seconds—this is called 'Exit Lighting,' and the duration can be adjusted in the Comfort & Convenience settings on the central display. It took me a while to figure it out when I first got the car, but after a few tries, it becomes second nature.
