| Drove on a street with a 2 snow cover. after about 25 feet received a number of alerts on my driver information center stating: 4 wheel drive was off, anti-lock braking system warning, service stability traction system, service brake assist. immediately called cadillac service who stated snow could have dislodged some wires, bring it in for service. since many all states get some snowfall cadillac needs to redesign the wiring so a small about of snow doesn't disconnect critical vehicle functions. *tr | |||
