How To Reset Cadillac CTS TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor Light Without Tool – The Cadillac CTS (Catera Touring Sedan) is a segment E car, manufactured by General Motors under the Cadillac brand, introduced on the market in 2002 to replace Catera. It was originally created to compete directly with the Lincoln LS group in the Ford group, but LS production ceased in 2006 to make the smallest, but similar, Lincoln Zephyr (which in the meantime has been replaced by Lincoln MKZ). Designed by Wayne Cherry, CTS uses an eye-catching line that Cadillac calls “Art & Science,” and first seen on the Evoq prototype.

The launch of the CTS was aimed at rejuvenating the Cadillac brand in view of rescue from the extinction of the car manufacturer after Cadillac’s sales had come in favor of major luxury brands such as Lexus and Mercedes-Benz. Since the nineties, Cadillac was trying to attract young buyers, CTS was the first of these new models to succeed, unlike other models such as Catera and Allante. The second generation of CTS was presented at the North American International Auto Show. The line is inspired by the Sixteen prototypes and is sold by the end of August 2007 as the 2008 model.
