How to Factory Reset the Cadillac CUE
Â
Cadillac's CUE system, which stands for Cadillac User Experience, provides seamless connectivity and control of the infotainment system, allowing drivers access to various convenient apps such as navigation, media, music, and more while on the move. Oftentimes these systems may require a reset, so read on as we share how to reset Cadillac CUE in your Cadillac.
When to Consider a Factory Reset
Owners will need to consider a factory reset if they start to experience any system issues such as:
- A blank LCD screen
- The rear park camera not working when putting the transmission into reverse
- Climate control not turning on
- Touch screen becomes unresponsive
Loss of function of any of these features is not only frustrating but can also impact your and your passenger's safety and comfort.
Steps to Factory Reset the Cadillac CUE
When displaying some of these issues, it's best to follow these easy steps. If the infotainment display is still functioning, owners will need to navigate to the "Return to Factory Settings" option on the screen and select "Reset." A blank or unresponsive screen will require disconnecting the battery's negative terminal for a 20-minute period to allow the control module to reset.
A software update of the CUE system in your Cadillac is recommended to prevent and also address various issues.
Backup Your Data
It's recommended to note all your personal settings, favorite destinations, and radio stations before any reset, as settings data will be lost when performing a CUE reset.
Post-Reset Setup
Once you are satisfied that performing a factory reset has fixed any issues plaguing your Cadillac CUE system, it's time for a post-reset setup to input all your preferred settings back into your infotainment system.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the self-help instructions on how to reset Cadillac CUE don't fix the issue, you should take your Cadillac to a Cadillac service center, where it will receive the necessary professional diagnosis and repair.
