Xenon light, dipped beam 3<br />

WARNING<br />

Because Xenon lamp unit is under<br />

extremely high voltage, entrust all work on<br />

the unit, including bulb replacement, to a<br />

workshop. We recommend that you contact<br />

an authorised <strong>Cadillac</strong> workshop.<br />

Xenon headlights produce roughly twice as<br />

much light as halogen bulbs and have a significantly<br />

longer service life.<br />

The lamp units consist of a gas discharge<br />

lamp containing xenon. When the lights are<br />

switched on a very high voltage activates<br />

the xenon gas. The lamps soon reach full<br />

intensity.<br />

Cars with Xenon headlights have automatic<br />

levelling. The levelling system comprises<br />

two sensors, one on the front suspension<br />

and one on the rear suspension, and a control<br />

unit by the engine bay electrical centre.<br />

Headlight alignment is adjusted automatically<br />

to the car’s load to prevent dazzling<br />

drivers in oncoming traffic.<br />

If the system malfunctions, the following<br />

message will appear on the DIC:<br />

Headlight levelling<br />

malfunction.<br />

We recommend that you contact an<br />

authorised <strong>Cadillac</strong> workshop for Xenon<br />

bulb replacement.
