The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This 2016 Cadillac CTS factory service and repair manual is built around the exact engine and trim on your build sheet, including the turbocharged 2.0L L4 (VIN X, LTG), the 3.6L V6 (VIN S, LGX), the supercharged 6.2L V8 (VIN 6, LT4), and the turbocharged 3.6L V6 (VIN 8, LF3), so the torque values and procedures inside are the ones Cadillac actually published for your car.

Known issues on the 2016 CTS. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front heated seats: the flexible heating mats can degrade over time, and a damaged seat heater turned on remotely in cold weather can overheat and increase the risk of fire. Two separate recalls cover the electric power steering assist system, which can fail and require higher steering effort, especially at low speed, raising crash risk. The fourth covers the driver-side frontal air bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment and send metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants. Owners have filed 31 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for the CTS this model year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the EPS assist unit, servicing a front seat heater, or working through a routine maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct torque spec for your specific 2016 CTS.
