FAQQuestions about the ELR manual

Which ELR years does this manual cover?

Every year from 2014 to 2016 — 3 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Cadillac ELR manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Cadillac published for the ELR, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include ELR wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every ELR manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover ELR recalls?

2 recalls are on federal record across the 2014–2016 ELR, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Cadillac dealers.

Why do some ELR years cost more?

Every ELR year is $49.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.

How do I get the manual after purchase?

It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
