good morning guys you join me in
beautiful Myrtle Beach South Carolina
here for a seven-day visit and I'm going
to give you guys a tour of our rental
car it's a 2018 Cadillac xti here's what
the key looks like it's got LED
illumination yeah this has the optional
LED headlights just taking a walk around
the car it's got the 3.6 liter v6 with a
total of 310 maximum available
horsepower
it also does have remote start just hit
lock and push and hold the remote start
button
then this can be canceled at any time by
pushing the same button we have to hold
it for a second it also does have
keyless lock and unlock just keep the
key in your pocket push the button once
to unlock the driver's door again to
unlock all four doors and then again to
lock it's got 19 thousand five hundred
miles and here's the ignition switch
push once for accessory to turn on the
full ignition you have to hold this for
five or six seconds just start press the
brake and just press the button that
fires right up
smooth leather-wrapped steering wheel
hydraulic power steering as far as the
transmission goes it's electronically
controlled and it's an 8-speed automatic
to engage it put your foot on the brake
push unlock at the end pull back for
Drive and once you're in Drive you can
switch between automatic and manual
modes then when you select manual mode
it tells you what gear you're in you do
have paddle shifters behind the steering
wheel they feel nice but they could be
positioned a little bit better in my
opinion as in closer to like where my
hand is tapping so then back to
automatic Drive you can still change
gears manually but in Drive you can only
do so temporarily or maybe it's a gear
limiter I don't know yet I haven't
tested that but hold up for neutral up
and left for reverse so something about
this gear shifter is you only need to
push unlock when shifting out of park
and you do have a back up camera with
with dynamic guidance lines
push for park you also do get a chime
confirming the cars in park
whereas if it were in neutral the car
would tell you that a door is open and
the car's not in park next up we have
the parking brake over on the left
it's a OneTouch push on push off you
have to have your foot on the brake to
disengage it and then push again to
engage now something else I found out is
if you have the car in gear with the
parking brake off and then you open the
door and then once you let go of the
brake and your seatbelts unfastened if
the car is in gear and the parking
brakes released watch this the parking
brake automatically applies and the car
shifts into park and then as soon as you
shift back out of park the parking brake
releases if it was never on okay I'm
gonna turn on the lights you also do get
a pop up for when the automatic light
control is turned on or off hazard
control button is over here
it also does have and tell a beam just
push this button over on the side until
a beam works in either auto or manual on
but it has to be dark I'm also going to
pop the hood
so standard are halogen headlights and
like I said in the beginning of the
video you can opt for these full LEDs
here's the 3.6 liter v6
and it also does have cornering lamps
these only function at night but they
will function in either auto or manual
on see used to be that certain functions
like that such as Auto high beams cysts
cornering lamps they would only function
in auto but on this car it's either auto
or manual on and it has to be dark
here's the tailgate spare tire also have
a 12-volt power outlet back here not
really sure what's in there so you pull
this and that releases the seats in the
second row
likewise for that seat this also got LED
rear illumination when you open the
tailgate
in the meantime let's go ahead while I'm
putting these seats back up and check
out the back
it's got rear climate
can adjust the different zones or you
can leave it in automatic mode change
the temperature it's also got heated
seats fan speed
two cupholders for if you don't need a
fifth passenger and it also has a
sunroof
I forgot to mention the windows in the
front are fully automatic and the ones
in the rear are just automatic down
[Music]
as you can tell
this does have Blind Spot Assist that's
what that symbol is on the left it also
does have power folding mirrors
and then this button is to allow for
only the driver to control the windows
lock and unlock it also automatically
locks and unlocks by default depending
on your gear position so if it's out of
park it'll be locked and if it's in park
it'll be unlocked
here is the tailgate height adjustment
so you can have it off when you turn it
off it lets you know the power liftgate
switches off you can set it to
three-quarters of the way full or max
meaning all the way up panel dimmer
there's an there's a gimmick about the
cruise control to so similar to Mercedes
Cadillac has gone ahead and designed a
cruise control where you can increase by
one mile an hour or increments of five
miles per hour so push in half way for a
one mile per hour decrease and all the
way in for a five mile per hour decrease
and vice versa with the increased speed
button
it's got collision alert you can set
your distance you cannot turn it
completely off for safety reasons lane
keep assist heated steering wheel for
the winter and this is your track seek
and these buttons here for the menu so
you can customize this screen kind of
like the new Mercedes s-class an eClass
with that full instrument cluster the
full LCD instrument cluster differences
this is only a tiny LCD but you can
still customize what you want to see so
you can see your speed on one side
compass on another range to empty on
another so this I consider the main
portion of the screen since it's the
largest it also has a speed limit
detection which is that white box above
the menu you can turn that on and off
you can display what info pages you want
to see
just by turning them on and off in the
vehicle settings
can set your speed warning so if you so
if you exceed that speed the car will
let you know you need to slow down so
say in Virginia where the reckless
driving law is any overage of 80 miles
per hour you can set your speed warning
at 80 miles per hour
for example
and also if you don't like the odometer
down here you can have a larger odometer
on one of the screens it also does have
auto stop and that's only if the car is
in drive not if it's in manual not if
it's in neutral reverse Park only in
drives and no there is no way to disable
it so there's no button you push to
disable it but you can put it in manual
mode or neutral for example and that
will turn off the start/stop system it
also does have heated and cooled seats
and it lights up to let you know which
mode is on same with the passenger seat
you can turn the climate completely off
if you push and hold the mute button you
can turn the infotainment system
completely off to where you only see the
temperature and the clock and this
button up here is for the parking
sensors even turn those on and off
and push the home button you can see the
vehicle settings like you can turn on
teen driver mode or valet mode you can
also set your Bluetooth settings vehicle
settings turn on and off your alert
systems
so forward-collision system the car will
automatically break for you but if you
don't want it to do that you can just
set it to an alert or turn it off
completely which I do not recommend but
you can do that same with front
pedestrian detection like say you don't
see somebody walking across a crosswalk
at night then the car will brake for you
it's also got lane change alert for when
you have the lane keep assist on your
cross traffic alert so on and so forth
can also set the lighting settings
vehicle locator lights and exit lighting
you can set the delay on and off so
that's when it's in the auto position
so if you hit this button it brings up
your radio stations while you are
adjusting the settings comfort and
convenience memory-recall you can turn
that on or off
you can have the reverse tilt mirror
turn on and you can set it for both side
view mirrors or just one
can also turn on automatic mirror
folding so that's when you lock the car
you can turn on your automatic wiper
system so with this off the auto
position becomes intermittent
intermittent auto wipe in Reverse so
that's if you have the wipers on already
he'll start the cyst
okay
power door locks this is where you can
set how the lock system behaves so
unlocked door anti lockout Auto door
unlock and Auto door lock or delay door
lock that is where you can set the doors
that they don't lock until you exceed I
don't know 10 miles an hour as opposed
to locking as soon as it's out of park
this also does have a 4G LTE Wi-Fi our n
Wi-Fi hotspot so here's your Bluetooth
settings pretty standard stuff it's also
got apple carplay and android auto so
that's where you can control just about
every aspect of your phone without
touching your phone it's all through the
screen here voice
display you can turn the display off
completely as opposed to just having the
time and temperature and then just push
home to turn it back on
and also turn on and off the Wi-Fi same
with the Bluetooth
actually I take that back I don't think
bluetooth can be turned off
can also see traffic status
can also adjust the rear climate
turn sink on and off so you can have
that in sync with the front climate
and your OnStar settings
thank you goodbye
and then you have buttons up here
just like merchants CSOs you also have
interior illumination and when you push
this the interior lights will not turn
on when you open a door this is to open
the sunroof
and that continues to extend back that's
to close the sunroof
and if the shade was closed then that
opens - this is for the shade on this
side and it is a one touch automatic
stow your sunglasses in there and before
I end this video I will talk about the
three different drive modes so you push
once then you see the three drive modes
push again sport and you also have snow
or ice then back to tour or normal mode
and the traction off button is
interesting so you push once and that
turns the traction control off push
again it turns it back on that's very
typical but if you push and hold for
five seconds that turns not only
traction control off but stability
control as well and that's what this
light is well alright that's gonna wrap
up this tour hope you guys enjoyed if
you did smash that thumbs up in the face
