You should consult your factory owner's manual, or put in a call to your local Caddilac dealer's service department, for an official answer.
I checked on flat towing my Ranger and got conflicting information, some saying it could be flat towed, others saying the driveshaft had to come out. Upon consulting the owner's manual and calling my Ford dealer's service department, I found the official answer.
While it can be safely flat towed with the driveshaft connected, it can only be done at very low speed for short distances, without damaging the transmission. For long distances at highway speeds, the driveshaft must come out. So that's how I tow it on the highway, with the driveshaft disconnected and wired up so it doesn't fall off.
