2003-2007 Cadillac CTS Vehicle Dismantling Manual (P/N GMP/07-D1-ELV)

• Covers 2007 Cadillac CTS Sedan LHD and RHD configurations, detailing material compositions for models equipped with 2.8L and 3.6L engines.
• Official GM publication (P/N GMP/07-D1-ELV, revised May 15, 2006).
• Features 18 distinct activity area diagrams that map component material weights and fluid volumes, alongside over 4,500 pages of environmental handling directives.
• Serves as the primary End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) recycling documentation for the Cadillac CTS, logging material weight metrics for more than 50 specific chassis components and fluids.

Dismantling and Material Identification

The vehicle dismantling manual organizes environmental recovery procedures into seven specialized activity areas to streamline shop workflows. This technical reference defines exact fluid drainage volumes for the oil, coolant, brake, and steering systems. It also maps structural plastics—like TEO, PP, EPDM, and HDPE—directly to their chassis locations. Because handling undeployed pyrotechnic devices carries inherent safety risks, the guide prioritizes proper removal protocols for airbags and seatbelt pretensioners before further teardown. Technicians receive clear visual references for stripping all major interior and exterior trim assemblies efficiently.

Technical Data and Component Specifications

Accurate material tracking is essential for modern recycling protocols. This manual delivers highly specific weight management data for the 2007 Cadillac CTS to assist with exactly that. It breaks down critical pretreatment figures directly from the manufacturer. You will find the coolant system capacity documented at 13.12 liters, the engine oil at 6.6 liters, and the transmission fluid at 10.60 liters. These precise metrics allow salvage yards and recycling facilities to manage hazardous fluids correctly and maintain compliance with environmental regulations.
