2001 Cadillac Seville

Precise, All-Weather Control and Active Safety

2001 Cadillac Seville
The 2001 Cadillac Seville continues to build upon its strengths in precise, all-weather control with significant enhancements to the Northstar System and active safety. In addition, the '01 Seville offers the world's first infotainment system using PC-based technology.

'The 2001 Seville leads the Cadillac lineup with new and innovative technologies, many of which will make their way onto other Cadillac vehicles,' said Steve Rosenblum, Seville brand manager.

The STS in '01 moves more toward a higher performance character with an available sport package, while the SLS maintains its excellent over-the-road handling with a modified chassis system.

PRECISE , ALL-WEATHER CONTROL

One of Seville's strengths, the area of precise, all-weather control, gets significant improvements for 2001.

STS Offers Sport Package 2001 Cadillac Seville
The STS continues to push the technology and performance envelope with an exclusive sport package, with 17-inch tires and wheels, suspension changes, and other sport features. The Goodyear Eagle GT P235/55R17 W-rated tires are specifically designed for the STS, with a lower aspect ratio and compliance for crisper, more responsive handling. STS's CVRSS system gets revised performance valving and vehicle control algorithms for more ride and body motion control specific to the 17-inch sport package tires. In addition, the sport package offers HID lighting, tire pressure monitoring , the top-of-the-line Infotainment with Bose audio system, integrated cell phone, ultrasonic rear parking assist, wood wheel and shifter, six-disk CD changer and sunroof.

The SLS will continue to offer excellent over-the-road feel with new monotube shocks on the rear and twintubes on the front. This suspension package has fewer moving parts and improved vehicle responsiveness.

In '01, the Seville's Northstar V8 will be fully compliant with 2001 national low-emissions standards due to a new single air injection reaction (AIR) pump. The AIR pump kicks in immediately after engine start-up and speeds up catalytic converter light off, reducing start-up emissions. The pump shuts off less than a minute later, and there is no loss in performance.

INFOTAINMENT WITH BOSE AÚDIO SYSTEM

A significant addition to the 2001 Seville is the Infotainment with Bose audio system. The system integrates complete full-function color map-based navigation with radio, CD-ROM, compact flash memory and audio playback.

The system is voice-controlled, which supports the Cadillac philosophy of 'eyes on the road, hands on the wheel.' Drivers can interface with the system's many features, including:

E-mail capability – Have your e-mail downloaded and read to you. The system provides a link to the Internet, allowing downloading of text files. This particular feature will be test-marketed in several areas of the country to gauge customer interest.

Cell phone integration unit – Docks a portable cell phone and allows cell phone control via voice recognition or front panel keypad.

Infrared port – This function allows handheld devices such as personal data assistants to exchange information with the system.

CD/CD-ROM – Plays music CDs, reads CD-ROM databases such as maps and allows software upgrades.

Voice memo recorder – Voice messages may be recorded, stored and played back at a later time.

Voice recognition – Occupants can activate the system through voice command.

Navigation – Drivers can select a destination and have turn-by-turn directions read to them, as well as see a color map of the display.
Importantly, except for displaying station information in radio mode or navigation turn-by-turn information, the screen menus for e-mail and browser capability are disabled unless the vehicle is stopped – a built-in safety feature to help minimize the time drivers' eyes are off the road and hands off the wheel.

ACTIVE SAFETY & SECÚRITY

In addition to the myriad powertrain and integrated chassis systems that provide excellent active safety benefits to the driver, there are additional safety features in the '01 Seville.

New on the SLS and STS is an interior manual trunk release mechanism. This factory-installed device provides for emergency exit in the event a child is trapped inside the trunk. A T-shaped lever attached to a six-inch cable is located on the underside of the decklid, connected to the trunk latch, allowing for easy escape with a simple tug and pull motion. The release mechanism will debut mid-year and will be standard on both models.

In addition, a tire pressure monitor debuts as an option on the STS. Similar to the system used on the Chevrolet Corvette, it consists of a sensor integrated into the valve stem of each tire. The sensors are battery-powered and communicate tire pressure information to the vehicle's radio frequency module. Once this module receives transmissions from the sensors, it sends tire pressure information to the driver information center for display. The driver information center responds by showing the actual tire pressure and rating it 'low' 'high' or 'OK.' If the pressure is too low, or too high, the driver information center will also display the words 'check tire pressure.'

The 2001 Seville also features the next generation Rainsense wiper system, standard on both models. Rainsense automatically activates the wipers in wet weather when the system is placed in the auto delay mode. The new system is smaller, more efficient and more sensitive for improved performance.

EXTERIOR

2001 Cadillac Seville
Seville's styling is sophisticated yet distinctly American. Designers refer to Seville's overall balance between leanness and a muscular appearance as 'controlled sculpting.'
The Seville's exterior design is evolutionary, providing a cleaner, more aerodynamic interpretation of the aggressive look of the 1992-97 models. This is not only important in North America, where Seville has a large and loyal following, but also in overseas markets, where the Seville's distinctive look is widely recognized and appreciated.

For 2001, Seville's sophisticated exterior styling will be enhanced by the addition of two new exterior colors: Graphite, a smoked charcoal gray metallic, and Sequoia, a medium green metallic with gold highlights, replace Midnight Blue and Polo Green, and are available on both models.

INTERIOR

2001 Cadillac SevilleSeville's interior defines luxurious functionality. Controls are strategically placed, with those most frequently used closest to the driver. Easy-to-use remote controls for important functions have been placed on the steering wheel, and all controls are placed where the user would logically expect them to be. For '01, Seville's cruise control buttons have been moved to the lower spokes of the steering wheel for easier access. The new location of the cruise control buttons gives the driver better hands-on-the-wheel positioning.

New for '01 are torque-sensing express-up windows on the driver and front passenger side.

Seville's interior features a wealth of storage areas designed for easy use. For example, the center console can hold compact disc cases oriented either side-to-side or front-to-rear, depending on the driver's preferences. A pass-through in the rear seat allows skis or other long items to be safely carried inside the car. In addition, the glove box is large enough to fit a medium size purse.

Leather is standard in the Únited States and in many export markets. For 2001, the four available interior colors are Shale, Black, Wheat and Dark Gray.

Driver Information System

Seville's driver information system can display five languages — English, German, Japanese, Spanish and French. The system provides detailed information on the operation of the vehicle and numerous alert messages. The digital speedometer read-out can be projected as a virtual display on the instrument cluster.

The standard North American sound system in the SLS is a Delco AM/FM system with cassette and in-dash CD capabilities, featuring eight speakers and 250 watts of power. A console-housed six-disc CD changer is available, and MiniDisc™ player is available only with the Bose® 4.0 system.

Bose 4.0 System

The Bose 4.0 music system is an incredible sound system developed specifically for this production automobile. On the '01 Seville, radio is available in three models, a premium sound system, Bose 4.0 and Infotainment with Bose audio system.

Optional on the SLS and standard on the STS, the Bose 4.0 system features an impressive list of proprietary, state-of-the-art speaker and electronic technologies. The amplifier, rated at 425 watts average power output, drives eight specially tuned speakers. Tuned specifically to the acoustic characteristics of the Seville's interior, this system can produce live concert level volumes without audible distortion.

The Bose 4.0 music system was produced in a 'clean sheet' collaboration between Bose Corp. acousticians and Cadillac engineers. From the beginning, the Bose team realized that the Seville's music system must be meticulously tailored to the acoustic space in which it must work – the interior of the vehicle.

The system was developed to deliver musical sound that is natural and lifelike. One of the key contributors to the system's performance is custom equalization. The system also employs numerous advanced technologies, many invented and developed by Bose, and it is a showcase for psychoacoustic research, advanced acoustics and electronics technologies.

Radio Data System

Available with Bose 4.0 and the Infotainment system, Seville's radio data system (RDS) allows the radio to receive digital data transmitted along with the standard FM radio signal. This information can include station call letters, program format, the name of the song and the artist playing, and other useful information. RDS also makes it easier to find traffic and emergency information.

RDS allows Seville buyers to personalize their radio to provide them whatever information they want, whether it's viewing stock quotes or searching for jazz stations.

Another useful feature of RDS is the traffic announcement function and the weather band. When a traffic announcement is broadcast, passengers will hear it even if a CD or cassette tape is playing. Listeners can also get National Weather Service reports 24 hours a day.

Commuters will appreciate the traffic announcement function of RDS. When the traffic announcement feature is turned on, the radio looks for a station that broadcasts traffic reports. This feature enables the radio to temporarily interrupt the audio program, including CD and cassette tape, with updated traffic conditions.

Navigation System

2001 Cadillac Seville
An advanced navigation system is also an option on SLS and STS. The system is similar to the one introduced for Japanese-market editions of the 1998 Seville. The 5-inch color display screen is centrally located in the instrument panel. For bright, clear graphics, the touch- sensitive screen uses the active-matrix thin-film-transistor technology common in laptop computers. A light-gray daytime background automatically switches to a black background at night for optimum legibility.

A Delco-Bose audio system with radio data system features and a glove box- mounted six-disc CD changer are packaged with the navigation system.

Various navigation features can be personalized to suit individual tastes. Vehicles sold for the domestic market offer a choice of five languages — English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Models exported to Japan offer a choice between English and Japanese.

Navigation system maps are stored in a CD-ROM unit in the trunk. A set of nine CDs covering the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia is included along with a storage case. As with other in-vehicle navigation systems, detailed street color mapping is available in select cities in the Ú.S. For areas not covered by detailed mapping, there is intra-city coverage that provides major road information.

An active GPS (global positioning system) antenna helps pinpoint the car's location. When no GPS signal is available, the car's course is tracked by the dead-reckoning method using its road-speed sensor and an onboard gyroscope. Various display screens can be selected to obtain either turn-by-turn guidance to a destination or map assistance. In the turn-by-turn mode, voice prompts and a preview of the intersection are provided to assist the driver.

Models intended for export to Japan will offer television reception as an added feature with the navigation system. Additional equipment is involved, including an integrated TV tuner, a diversity TV antenna integrated with the backlight, an amplifier and selector for the TV antenna and an auxiliary stereo audio and video adapter.

Theftlock™

All Seville radios are equipped with Theftlock™, which provides automatic theft deterrence for the radio. If the radio is removed from the car, it won't work in any other vehicle unless the vehicle identification number (VIN) is cleared. This can only be done by a dealership using a special tool. Once the VIN is scribed into the radio, the radio can be traced.

Adaptive Seating

Adaptive seating remains a Cadillac exclusive technology, available as an option on the SLS as well as the STS for both driver and front seat passenger. Seville's adaptive seat represents the first automotive application of a technology initially used in hospital burn units—a technology nearly as advanced and complex as the Northstar System itself. Adaptive seating minimizes pressure points, resulting in less fatigue and more comfort, especially after hours of driving.

Seat Technologies Úses Network of 10 Air Cells

Adaptive seating automatically recognizes occupant position and adjusts the seat's support to custom fit every individual. The technology uses a network of 10 air cells, located between the leather upholstery and foam in the seat cushion and back. Sensors attached to these air cells measure internal pressure and supply that information to a control module, which compares the measurements to an optimal pressure pattern stored in its memory. If a discrepancy exists, pressure inside the air cells is adjusted.

There are three air cells in the lumbar area, one per each lateral bolster in the backrest, one per each lateral bolster in the bottom cushion, one per each thigh and one under the buttocks. Since the cells under the thighs and in the backrest lateral support bolsters are on a common channel, eight pressure modules serve the 10 cells. An electrically driven compressor mounted in the seat base supplies air pressure.

The initial adjustment procedure takes 30 to 60 seconds. The system cycles every four minutes to adjust air cell pressure as the occupant moves in the seat. An override switch allows customers who prefer more or less lumbar support than in the ideal pattern to adjust support to their preference.

Seville's adaptive seats also offer heat to provide added comfort in cold weather.

NORTHSTAR SYSTEM

In terms of performance, the '01 Seville SLS and STS feature Cadillac's widely praised Northstar engine aluminum 4.6-liter V8 DOHC 32-valve with the enhanced StabiliTrak 2.0 stability control system, enhanced continuously variable road-sensing suspension, all-speed traction control, ABS and Magnasteer™ variable assist speed-sensitive steering.

The 2001 Seville benefits with a fully compliant Northstar V8 engine due to a new single air injection (AIR) pump. The AIR pump activates immediately after engine start-up and speeds up catalytic converter light-off, reducing start-up emissions. The pump shuts off less than a minute later, so there is no loss in driving performance.

Engine Design Changes

Revised combustion chambers are superior to previous designs in terms of both tumble motion of the incoming fuel-air mixture and burn rate. In 2000, the intake and exhaust valves were resized. Larger intake valves improve the engine's breathing ability, while smaller exhaust valves increase flow velocity, an aid to catalyst light-off.

While the combustion chamber design helps maximize fuel efficiency, even larger gains are made by the roller-follower devices between each cam lobe and valve stem. Compared to the previous Northstar's direct valve actuation, the result is a substantial reduction in friction. During moderate driving conditions, the torque necessary to turn Northstar's four camshafts is reduced by 50 percent or more.

In 2000, the Northstar also benefited from a new ignition system that delivers power to the spark plugs directly instead of through wiring. A cassette containing four ignition coils linked by short secondary leads to adjoining spark plugs now attaches atop each cylinder head cover.

In addition to improved reliability, the ignition system permits scheduling the magnitude of the voltage sent to the spark plugs. High voltage is used during full-load, high rpm and heavy EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) conditions to guarantee complete combustion. The energy level is reduced to minimize electrical loads and radio frequency interference during light-load conditions, such as medium-speed cruising. The result is extended spark-plug life and a peak energy capacity that is 130 percent higher than the system it replaced.

Northstar's new powertrain control module is a single circuit board device housed within a sealed aluminum case engineered to withstand the harsh underhood environment. The module contains dual microprocessors to monitor and direct engine and transmission operations.

Noise and vibration improvements are the result of adopting a center-feed design for the composite-plastic intake manifold, as opposed to the previous end-feed design. The new design facilitates a near equal-length induction path for all eight cylinders. In contrast, the previous design provided a long path to the front cylinders and shorter paths to rearward cylinders. With the reduction or elimination of many harmonic tones, the resulting induction sound is more of a hum.

A molded-plastic cover backed with acoustical foam rests above the intake manifold to reduce induction, fuel-injector and other noises radiated by the engine. Direct mounting of accessories eliminates flex and vibration inherent with extra brackets. A flexible connection in the exhaust system en route to the catalyst helps quell another source of noise and harshness.

Outstanding Power, Torque

The 4.6-liter dual-overhead-camshaft Northstar V8 installed in the SLS generates 275 horsepower (205 kW) at 5600 rpm and 300 lb.-ft. (407 Nm) of torque at 4000 rpm. The sportier STS is equipped with a retuned version of the Northstar V8 producing 300 horsepower (224 kW) at 6000 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. (400 Nm) of torque at 4400 rpm. Redline is 6500 rpm in the SLS and 6700 rpm in the STS.

The Northstar engines offer 100,000-mile (160,000-kilometers) durability and limp-home mode in case of total coolant loss. The Northstar's maintenance-free design allows the car to go up to 100,000 miles before its first scheduled tune-up — only changing the oil, oil filter and air filter. In limp-home mode, the engine can operate on four cylinders at speeds of 50 mph (80 kph) for about 50 miles (80 kilometers), giving the driver an opportunity to reach a safe location. The engine accomplishes this by alternately delivering fuel to four of the eight cylinders. The remaining four cylinders do not fire but continue to pump air, which cools the engine.

Performance Algorithm Shifting

Exclusive to STS, the Performance Algorithm Shifting (PAS) feature programs the gearbox to perform intuitively like a manual during aggressive driving. PAS uses vehicle sensors, including the lateral acceleration sensor provided for StabiliTrak, to evaluate the driver's intentions. It takes its evaluation and programs the transmission to respond much like a manual gearbox during high-energy driving.

For example, during hard cornering, the 'smart' transmission will hold its gear to prevent mid-corner upshifts that can upset the balance of the car. When braking for a corner, the transmission will downshift to the correct gear for the cornering speed, just as a skilled driver would do with a manual gearbox, and maintain the gear selection through acceleration out of the corner.

Únlike so-called adaptive systems, which attempt to deduce what gear the driver might want from previous behavior, PAS adjusts virtually instantaneously in real time. The transmission shift performance is clearly intuitive and deployed well within the high-performance operating envelope of the STS.

StabiliTrak™ 2.0

Standard on the STS and SLS is an enhanced version of the most advanced integrated stability control system in the world, StabiliTrak 2.0. Sensors in the vehicle measure steering angle and other inputs from the driver, to determine what he or she wants the car to do. If the car isn't responding appropriately, a computer selectively applies the appropriate individual front brakes to help keep the car on the intended course.
The StabiliTrak 2.0 engineered into the Seville is actually a third-generation of this important active safety breakthrough. One new feature is active steering effort compensation (ASEC). During low-traction or emergency-maneuver situations, the steering effort is temporarily raised. StabiliTrak achieves this by commanding the Magnasteer system to reduce the degree of power assist. Combining steering assist level with stability control is an industry first that was achieved solely through software calibrations with no added hardware, cost or mass.

Side slip-rate control is another feature to StabiliTrak that was added in 2000. In the event a Seville loses lateral traction at both front and rear axles and experiences the onset of significant sideslip, both front brakes are momentarily applied to slow the vehicle in order to regain stability and lateral traction. Sideslip is calculated by analyzing data from the lateral acceleration sensor. Similar to ASEC, no additional hardware is necessary.

Continuously Variable Road-Sensing Suspension 2.0

The STS is equipped with continuously variable road-sensing suspension (CVRSS), which produces optimum body and wheel damping under virtually all driving conditions by independently adjusting the damper setting at each corner of the vehicle and responding in real time. CVRSS can precisely match damping required to the severity of the input, enabling a refinement level not previously achieved. The benefits to the STS customer include markedly improved rolling smoothness, road isolation and impact feel, with exceptional control during aggressive emergency maneuvers.

For 2001, Seville benefits from the following upgrades:

Revised front knuckles and control arms, revised rear cradle inner pivot points which improve on-center feel and steering response

Revised shock valving and CVRSS calibration and 30 mm front stabilizer bar with 15-percent wall thickness, 70 durometer inner link grommets
Magnasteer™

The Seville's Magnasteer variable-assist, speed-sensitive power rack and pinion steering system uses a variable magnetic field to increase or decrease steering effort as needed. As a result, the range of adjustability is greater and has no steps or irregularities in the boost curves. For quick response, Seville uses a straight 14.8:1 steering gear ratio rather than a variable ratio.

An enhanced feature of Seville's Magnasteer is sensitivity to lateral acceleration. When sensors determine the cornering rate is up, steering effort is automatically increased to enhance the driver's road feel.

BODY STRÚCTÚRE AND ACOÚSTICS

Based on the third generation of GM's ‘G' architecture, the Seville's body structure is designed for excellent stiffness and rigidity, providing responsive handling and a quiet interior.

A mega-pan one-piece floor panel extends from the front of the dash to the rear of the trunk, minimizing joints and seams. The interior body side rings are stamped from a single laser-welded blank, saving weight and cost while improving build quality.

A pair of hydroformed tubes sweep from the base of the windshield into the roof and back down to the rear wheel wells. These tubes help form a safety cage around the passenger compartment, while improving torsional and beaming stiffness of the body structure.

The instrument panel and steering column are supported by a one-piece magnesium cross-car beam to minimize shake and noise. The doors are solidly mounted, with each hinge bolted through two body panels and reinforced composite blocks to better distribute loads for a more substantial feel.

The Seville's rigid body structure helps keep vibration from the road, powertrain and other sources from reaching passengers. This provides the foundation for making Seville one of the quietest cars in the world.

To this structure, engineers added major noise and vibration controls, including advanced torque-axis engine mounts, which reduce idle noise and shake. To close off road noise, they also added rubber-isolated subframes to the front and rear suspension. The engine mounts, as well as the forward bushings for the front lower control arms, incorporate hydraulic dampers to further isolate powertrain and road inputs.

The alternator is water-cooled for more reliable operation under heavy loads, and it features a chamfered rotor design that keeps changes in the magnetic field from producing a resonant whine. A quieter steering pump, redesigned engine cooling fans and redesigned exhaust outlets also help to reduce unwanted noises.

SAFETY AND SECÚRITY

Últrasonic Rear Parking Assist

Seville will make parking safer and easier for drivers with the application of Últrasonic Rear Parking Assist.

Últrasonic Rear Parking Assist uses both audio and visual cues to convey information on the closeness of objects behind the vehicle, assisting the driver in rear parking maneuvers.

The Últrasonic Rear Parking Assist system uses four sensors on the rear fascia. The sensors sequentially send out ultrasonic waves when the car is driven in reverse. The sending sensor and adjacent sensors pick up the echo of a signal when it bounces off an object. Triangulation is used to determine relative distance based on elapsed time between the outgoing signal and its return.

As a rear parking aid, the system operates up to a reverse speed of three miles per hour.

The vertical field of view ranges from one-fourth of a meter (almost 10 inches) off the ground to the top of the car's trunk. With this field of view, the driver is able to make maneuvers in parking situations using information on the closeness of objects such as another car or a sign post, without the system being triggered by an object such as a street curb.

With the car in reverse, one amber LED is illuminated when the system detects an object from 1.5 meters to one meter (about five feet to 40 inches). A single chime tone is emitted to direct the driver's attention to the display. From one meter to 0.5 meters (about 40 inches to 20 inches), two amber LEDs are illuminated.

When the car reaches a distance of 0.5 meters to 0.3 meters (about 20 inches to 12 inches), two amber LEDs and a red LED are illuminated, and the chime tone becomes continuous. Then, when the object becomes less than 0.3 meters (about 12 inches) from the bumper, all three LEDs begin flashing while the chime remains continuous.

The ultrasonic sensors are body colored and are integrated into the bumper so that the system meets all federal regulations for bumper impact. The round sensor assemblies are approximately 35mm in diameter (about 1.4 inches).

Occupant Protection

Seville provides an excellent number of occupant protection features. The foundation is a rugged steel unibody, which forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment and incorporates front and rear sections designed to absorb the energy of an impact.

Seville's computer-crafted body structure and internal safety cage meet all applicable worldwide impact standards for front, side, rear and offset crashes as well as roof crush. In fact, Seville already fulfills stringent front offset and side-impact European requirements for the year 2003.

Airbags

Seville features front and side-impact air bags for the front seat occupants. A power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel helps the driver position the wheel and air bag for optimum comfort and protection.

Seville's front safety belts are mounted to the seats so they are always positioned for optimum comfort and safety. A pretensioning system takes slack out of the belts in the event of a crash, in order to increase the effectiveness of the belts.

OnStar

New from OnStar for 2001 is the addition of OnStar's Personal Calling capability and the OnStar Virtual Advisor.

Seville Receives New Services from Onstar

In 1997, Cadillac became the first vehicle in the world to offer the myriad safety and security benefits of OnStar, the clearly recognized leader in telematics. In 2000, Cadillac made OnStar standard in each of its models. In 2001, OnStar will offer two additional services: Personal Calling, which allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated personal calls from their vehicles without an additional cellular contract; and OnStar Virtual Advisor, which will deliver to the vehicle personalized Internet-based information such as news headlines, sports scores, stock quotes and weather conditions. Both services will be available through OnStar's unique three-button system, offering completely hands-free operation.

OnStar provides the most complete array of safety, security and convenience services available to drivers today. The system uses Cadillac's sophisticated on-board electronics, global positioning system (GPS) satellite technology and the cellular network to link the driver and the vehicle with the 24-hour OnStar Center.

OnStar's services include route support, remote door unlock, theft detection notification, stolen vehicle tracking, emergency services, OnStar MED-NET, AccidentAssist and remote diagnostics. From a database of more than five million listings, an adviser at the OnStar Center also can provide a wide range of convenience services, such as providing the driver the location of the nearest automatic teller machine (ATM), making hotel reservations or ordering flowers.

OnStar is standard on all Cadillacs and includes one year of free premium service.

OWNERSHIP AND WARRANTY

All 2001 Cadillacs are backed by a four-year/50,000-mile (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper limited warranty with courtesy transportation for all warranty repairs and no deductible. The warranty also includes defects in the material and workmanship of tires. Additional coverage includes a six-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) rust-through protection.

Cadillac 24-hour roadside assistance is available to Cadillac owners toll-free by dialing 1-800-882-1112. Cadillac-trained service technicians are dispatched to handle minor repairs and assist with flat tires, lockouts, jump starts, fuel deliveries and other roadside emergencies.
