Pushing the high beam stalk forward will activate ILS+. Pulling back will turn it off.
It is a mod that I absolutely love having on my car.

222 S-65
Saturday Peter loaded a tune into my S-65. More power, more torque.
Imagine my surprise when I go to test drive and find shifting to be much improved! Power interruption during shifts better managed. Boost is better managed for more torque down low. LOTS more torque when motoring along at 65mph and I need to get around someone. Previously I would apply power, get a downshift or two and go. Now I apply some throttle and without a downshift it smoothly surges to 80-90mph. Give it more stick and it will drop ratios for even more excitement.
I didn't expect the tune to make for a smoother idle.... But it did.
Well worth the effort!

Lots of great feedback here. Question for that ils headlights mod.... Do you turn it on in a menu or is the menu just to enable it and then putting on the high beams is what turns it on?

Headlight switch set to Auto and high beams On activates ILS.
If you go to the Lights menu from the steering wheel menu, it brings up an image of the car and gives you the option to toggle it Off.

I've had several. SRX, XTS, CT5, even a 73 coupe de ville lol. I do miss my 2019 XTS. That sucker had thick couch seats
Cadillac makes a great car but it's no match for the S Class. I absolutely love my 2020 S560. Best daily driver I've ever had.

I always leave it on and the brights on and let the system handle everything. I did it about 2 years ago and now I am 100% lover of ILS! it is interesting to turn it on and off if your driving out in the wide open, did that a few times on I5 in central CA, but no reason to have off IMHO.
