The power tailgate switch is on the driver
door. The vehicle must be in P (Park).
The modes are:
Caution
Driving with an open and unsecured
tailgate may result in damage to the
power tailgate components.
MAX : Opens to maximum height.
3/4 : Opens to a reduced height that can be
set from 3/4 to fully open. Use to prevent
the tailgate from opening into overhead
obstructions such as a garage door or
roof-mounted cargo. The tailgate can be

the reverse direction. Pressing the touch pad
on the tailgate handle will restart the
motion, but only in the opening direction.
Caution
Manually forcing the tailgate to open or
close during a power cycle can damage
the vehicle. Allow the power cycle to
complete.
The power tailgate may be temporarily
disabled under extreme low temperatures,
or after repeated power cycling over a short
period of time. If this occurs, the tailgate
can still be operated manually.
If the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park) while
the power function is in progress, the
tailgate will continue to completion. If the
vehicle is accelerated before the tailgate has
completed moving, the tailgate may stop or
reverse direction. Check for Driver
Information Centre (DIC) messages and make
sure the tailgate is closed and latched
before driving.
Falling Tailgate Detection
If the power tailgate automatically closes
after a power opening cycle, it indicates that
the system is reacting to excess weight on
the tailgate or a possible support strut
failure. A repetitive chime will sound while
the falling tailgate detection feature is
operating. Remove any excess weight. If the
tailgate continues to automatically close
after opening, see your dealer for service
before using the power tailgate.
Interfering with the power tailgate motion
or manually closing the tailgate too quickly
after power opening may resemble a
support strut failure. This could also activate
the falling tailgate detection feature. Allow
the tailgate to complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before manually closing
the tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open or close cycle, the tailgate will
automatically reverse direction and move a
short distance away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power tailgate
operation can be used again. If the tailgate
encounters multiple obstacles on the same
power cycle, the power function will
deactivate. After removing the obstructions,
manually close the tailgate. This will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the tailgate is
closing, and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the tailgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an alert that
the tailgate did not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the tailgate stops at
when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the tailgate.
2. Stop the tailgate movement at the
desired height by pressing any tailgate
button. Manually adjust the liftgate
position if needed.
3. Press and hold l next to the pull cup
handle on the bottom of the tailgate
until the indicators flash and a beep
sounds. This indicates the setting has
been recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a minimum
programmable height. If there is no light
flash or sound, then the height adjustment
may be too low.
Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the tailgate.

sound an alarm when the vehicle's battery is
compromised.
If the vehicle battery must be disconnected,
first deactivate the power sounder. See
“Vehicle Storage” under Battery in Battery
0 271.
The inclination sensor can set off the alarm
if it senses movement of the vehicle, such
as a change in vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle
interior, and can set off the alarm if it
senses an unauthorised entry into the
vehicle's interior. Do not allow passengers or
pets to remain in the vehicle when the
intrusion sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent system
and activating the intrusion sensor:

Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast
as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops
suddenly, you keep going until something
stops you. It could be the windscreen, the
instrument panel, or the seat belts!
When you wear a seat belt, you and the
vehicle slow down together. There is more
time to stop because you stop over a longer
distance and, when worn properly, your
strongest bones take the force of the seat
belts. That is why wearing seat belts makes
such good sense.
Questions and Answers About Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a
crash if I am wearing a seat belt?
A: You could be — whether you are
wearing a seat belt or not. Your chances
of being conscious during and after a
crash, so you can unbuckle and get out,
are much greater if you are belted.
Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I
have to wear seat belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental systems only.
They work with the seat belts — not
instead of them. Whether or not an
airbag is provided, all occupants still
have to buckle up to get the most
protection.
Also the law in nearly every region
requires seat belts to be worn.
How to Wear Seat Belts Properly
Follow these rules for everyone's protection.
There are additional things to know about
seat belts and children, including smaller
children and infants. If a child will be riding
in the vehicle, see Older Children 0 60 or
Infants and Young Children 0 61. Review and
follow the rules for children in addition to
the following rules.
It is very important for all occupants to
buckle up. Statistics show that unbelted
people are hurt more often in crashes than
those who are wearing seat belts.

Seats and Restraints
{ Warning
You can be seriously injured, or even
killed, by not wearing your seat belt
properly.
. Sit up straight and always keep your feet
on the floor in front of you (if possible).
. Wear the lap part of the belt low and
snug on the hips, just touching the
thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the
strong pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap belt.
If you slid under it, the belt would apply
force on your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
. Wear the shoulder belt over the shoulder
and across the chest. These parts of the
body are best able to take belt
restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks
if there is a sudden stop or crash.
Never allow the lap or shoulder belt to
become loose or twisted.

Seats and Restraints
The following instructions explain how to
wear a lap-shoulder belt properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable,
so you can sit up straight. To see how,
see "Seats" in the Index.
Never wear the shoulder belt under both
arms or behind your back.
Never route the lap or shoulder belt over an
armrest.
{ Warning
The seat belt can be pinched if it is
routed under plastic trim on the seat,
such as trim around the rear backrest
folding handle or side airbag. In a crash,
pinched seat belts might not provide
adequate protection. Never allow seat
belts to be routed under plastic trim
pieces.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
Always use the correct buckle for your
seating position.
All seating positions in the vehicle have a
lap-shoulder belt.
2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt
across you. Do not let it get twisted.
The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you
pull the belt across you very quickly.
If this happens, let the belt go back
slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt
across you more slowly.

To unlatch the belt, push the button on the
buckle. The belt should return to its stowed
position.
Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the seat
belt webbing returns quickly to the stowed
position, the retractor may lock and cannot
be pulled out. If this happens, pull the seat
belt straight out firmly to unlock the
webbing, and then release it. If the webbing
is still locked in the retractor, see your
retailer.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure.
Position the release button on the buckle
so that the seat belt could be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
4. If equipped with a shoulder belt height
adjuster, move it to the height that is
right for you. See “Shoulder Belt Height
Adjuster” later in this section for
instructions on use and important safety
information.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull up on
the shoulder belt.
Before a door is closed, be sure the seat belt
is out of the way. If a door is slammed
against a seat belt, damage can occur to
both the seat belt and the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front outboard
passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder and
not falling off of it. The belt should be close
to, but not contacting, the neck. Improper
shoulder belt height adjustment could
reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in a
crash. See How to Wear Seat Belts Properly

tighten the seat belts in a side crash or
roll-over event.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash, the
pretensioners and probably other parts of
the vehicle's seat belt system will need to
be replaced. See Replacing Seat Belt System
Parts after a Crash 0 51.
Press and hold the release button while
raising or lowering the height adjuster to
the desired position.
After the height adjuster is set to the
desired position, try to move it down
without pressing the release button to make
sure it has locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt pretensioners for
front row and second row outboard
occupants. Although the seat belt
pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part
of the seat belt assembly. They can help
tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal, near
frontal, or rear crash if the threshold
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt while
entering or exiting the vehicle or at any
time while sitting in the seat. Sitting on the
seat belt can damage the webbing and
hardware.
Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they do not wear seat belts.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible, below the
rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the foetus is to
protect the mother. When a seat belt is
worn properly, it is less likely that the
foetus will be hurt in a crash. For pregnant
women, as for anyone, the key to making
seat belts effective is to wear them
properly.
Safety System Check
Periodically check the seat belt reminder,
seat belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)
and seat belt anchorages to make sure they

After a minor crash, replacement of seat
belts may not be necessary. But the seat
belt assemblies that were used during any
crash may have been stressed or damaged.
See your retailer to have the seat belt
assemblies inspected or replaced.
New parts and repairs may be necessary
even if the seat belt system was not being
used at the time of the crash.
Have the seat belt pretensioners checked if
the vehicle has been in a crash, or if the
airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or while you are driving.

All vehicle airbags have the word AIRBAG on
the trim or on a label near the deployment
opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG is on
the centre of the steering wheel for the
driver and on the instrument panel for the
front outboard passenger.
For knee airbags, the word AIRBAG is on the
lower part of the instrument panel.
For seat-mounted side impact airbags, the
word AIRBAG is on the side of the backrest
or side of the seat closest to the door.
For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG is on
the ceiling or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement the
protection provided by seat belts. Even
though today's airbags are also designed to
help reduce the risk of injury from the force
of an inflating bag, all airbags must inflate
very quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things to know
about the airbag system:
{ Warning
You can be severely injured or killed in a
crash if you are not wearing your seat
belt, even with airbags. Airbags are
designed to work with seat belts, not
replace them. Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every crash. In
some crashes seat belts are the only
restraint. See When Should an Airbag
Inflate? 0 54.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Wearing your seat belt during a crash
helps reduce your chance of hitting
things inside the vehicle or being ejected
from it. Airbags are “supplemental
restraints” to the seat belts. Everyone in
the vehicle should wear a seat belt
properly, whether or not there is an
airbag for that person.
{ Warning
Because airbags inflate with great force
and faster than the blink of an eye,
anyone who is up against, or very close
to, an airbag when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed. Do not sit
unnecessarily close to any airbag, as you
would be if sitting on the edge of the
seat or leaning forward. Seat belts help
keep you in position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat belt, even with
airbags. The driver should sit as far back
as possible while still maintaining control
of the vehicle. The seat belts and the
front outboard passenger airbags are

back and upright in the seat with both
feet on the floor.
Occupants should not lean on or sleep
against the door or side windows in
seating positions with seat-mounted side
impact airbags and/or roof-rail airbags.
The system checks the airbag electrical
system for malfunctions. The light tells you
if there is an electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light 0 96.

Never secure anything to the roof of a
vehicle with roof-rail airbags by routing a
rope or tie-down through any door or
window opening. If you do, the path of

When Should an Airbag Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with airbags. See
Airbag System 0 51. Airbags are designed to
inflate if the impact exceeds the specific
airbag system's deployment threshold.
Deployment thresholds are used to predict
how severe a crash is likely to be in time
for the airbags to inflate and help restrain
the occupants. The vehicle has electronic
sensors that help the airbag system
determine the severity of the impact.
Deployment thresholds can vary with
specific vehicle design.
Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in
moderate to severe frontal crashes to help
reduce the potential for severe injuries,
mainly to the driver's or front outboard
passenger's head and chest.
Whether the frontal airbags will or should
inflate is not based primarily on how fast
the vehicle is travelling. It depends on what
is hit, the direction of the impact, and how
quickly the vehicle slows down.
Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash
speeds depending on whether the vehicle
hits an object straight on or at an angle,
and whether the object is fixed or moving,
rigid or deformable, narrow or wide.
Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate
during vehicle rollovers, rear impacts,
or many side impacts.
In addition, the vehicle has advanced
technology frontal airbags. Advanced
technology frontal airbags adjust the
restraint according to crash severity.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Seats and Restraints
Knee airbags are designed to inflate in
moderate to severe frontal impacts. Knee
airbags are not designed to inflate during
vehicle rollovers, in rear impacts, or in many
side impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact airbags are
designed to inflate in moderate to severe
side crashes depending on the location of
the impact. These airbags may also inflate
in some moderate to severe frontal impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact airbags are not
designed to inflate in rollovers or rear
impacts. A seat-mounted side impact airbag
is designed to inflate on the side of the
vehicle that is struck.
Roof-rail airbags are designed to inflate in
moderate to severe side crashes depending
on the location of the impact. In addition,
these roof-rail airbags may inflate during a
rollover or in a severe frontal impact.
Roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate
in rear impacts. Both roof-rail airbags may
inflate when either side of the vehicle is
struck or if the sensing system predicts that
the vehicle is about to roll over on its side,
or in a severe frontal impact.
In any particular crash, no one can say
whether an airbag should have inflated
simply because of the vehicle damage or the
repair costs.
What Makes an Airbag Inflate?
In a deployment event, the sensing system
sends an electrical signal triggering a release
of gas from the inflator. Gas from the
inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to
break out of the cover. The inflator, the
airbag, and related hardware are all part of
the airbag module.
For airbag locations, see Where Are the
Airbags? 0 53.
How Does an Airbag Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal
collisions, even belted occupants can contact
the steering wheel or the instrument panel.
In moderate to severe side collisions, even
belted occupants can contact the inside of
the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the protection provided
by seat belts by distributing the force of the
impact more evenly over the
occupant's body.
55
Rollover capable roof-rail airbags are
designed to help contain the head and chest
of occupants in the outboard seating
positions in the first and second rows. The
rollover capable roof-rail airbags are
designed to help reduce the risk of full or
partial ejection in rollover events, although
no system can prevent all such ejections.
But airbags would not help in many types
of collisions, primarily because the
occupant's motion is not toward those
airbags. See When Should an Airbag Inflate?
0 54.
Airbags should never be regarded as
anything more than a supplement to seat
belts.
What Will You See after an
Airbag Inflates?
After frontal, knee, and seat-mounted side
impact airbags inflate, they quickly deflate,
so quickly that some people may not even
realise the airbags inflated. Roof-rail airbags
may still be at least partially inflated for
some time after deployment. Some
components of the airbag module may be
hot for several minutes. For location of the
airbags, see Where Are the Airbags? 0 53.

56
Seats and Restraints
The parts of the airbag that come into
contact with you may be warm, but not too
hot to touch. There may be some smoke
and dust coming from the vents in the
deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not
prevent the driver from seeing out of the
windscreen or being able to steer the
vehicle, nor does it prevent people from
leaving the vehicle.
{ Warning
When an airbag inflates, there may be
dust in the air. This dust could cause
breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this, everyone should
leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so. If you have breathing problems
but cannot get out of the vehicle after an
airbag inflates, then get fresh air by
opening a window or a door. If you
experience breathing problems following
an airbag deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
The vehicle has a feature that may
automatically unlock the doors, turn on the
interior lamps and hazard warning lights,
and shut off the fuel system after the
airbags inflate. The feature may also
activate, without airbag inflation, after an
event that exceeds a predetermined
threshold. After turning the ignition off and
then on again, the fuel system will return to
normal operation; the doors can be locked,
the interior lamps can be turned off, and
the hazard warning flashers can be turned
off using the controls for those features.
If any of these systems are damaged in the
crash they may not operate as normal.
{ Warning
A crash severe enough to inflate the
airbags may have also damaged
important functions in the vehicle, such
as the fuel system, brake and steering
systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears
to be drivable after a moderate crash,
there may be concealed damage that
could make it difficult to safely operate
the vehicle.
Use caution if you should attempt to
restart the engine after a crash has
occurred.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate
the airbag, windscreens are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional windscreen
breakage may also occur from the front
outboard passenger airbag.
. Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system.
If you do not get them, the airbag
system will not be there to help protect
you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
. The vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records
information after a crash. See Vehicle
Data Recording and Privacy 0 346.
. Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag systems. Improper service can
mean that an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for service.
Airbag On-Off Switch
If the instrument panel has the switch
pictured in the following illustration, the
vehicle has an airbag on-off switch that you

can use to manually turn the front outboard
passenger airbag on or off. No other airbag
is affected by the airbag on-off switch.
This switch should only be turned to the
OFF position if the person in the front
outboard passenger position belongs to a
category indicated in this section:
Infant. An infant (less than 1 year old) must
travel in the front seat because:
. My vehicle has no rear seat;
. My vehicle has a rear seat too small to
accommodate a rear-facing infant seat; or
. The infant has a medical condition which,
according to the infant's physician, makes
it necessary for the infant to ride in the
front seat so that the driver can
constantly monitor the child's condition.
Child age 1 to 12. A child age 1 to 12 must
travel in the front seat because:
. My vehicle has no rear seat;
. Although children ages 1 to 12 ride in the
rear seat(s) whenever possible, children
ages 1 to 12 sometimes must travel in the
front because no space is available in the
rear seat(s) of my vehicle; or
. The child has a medical condition which,
according to the child's physician, makes
it necessary for the child to travel in the
front seat so that the driver can
constantly monitor the child's condition.
Medical Condition. A passenger has a medical
condition which, according to his or her
physician:
. Causes the passenger airbag to pose a
special risk for the passenger; and
. Makes the potential harm from the
passenger airbag in a crash greater than
the potential harm from turning off the
57
airbag and allowing the passenger, even if
belted, to hit the instrument panel or
windscreen in a crash.
{ Warning
If the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag is turned off for a person who
does not belong to a category indicated
in this section, that person will not have
the extra protection of an airbag. In a
crash, the airbag will not be able to
inflate and help protect the person sitting
there. Do not turn off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag unless the
person sitting there belongs to a

Servicing the Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle
Airbags affect how the vehicle should be
serviced. There are parts of the airbag
system in several places around the vehicle.
Your dealer and the service manual have
information about servicing the vehicle and
the airbag system.
{ Warning
The airbag off light will come on and stay
on to let you know the front outboard
passenger airbag is turned off. See Airbag
On-Off Light 0 96. The front outboard
passenger airbag will remain turned off until
you turn it back on again.
{ Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
(Continued)
The front outboard passenger frontal airbag
is now enabled, and may inflate. See Airbag
On-Off Light 0 96.
To turn the front outboard passenger airbag
on again, insert the ignition key into the
airbag on-off switch, push in, and move the
switch to the ON position.
For up to 10 seconds after the vehicle is
turned off and the battery is
disconnected, an airbag can still inflate
during improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to an airbag
when it inflates. Avoid yellow connectors.
They are probably part of the airbag
system. Be sure to follow proper service
procedures, and make sure the person
performing work for you is qualified to
do so.

{ Warning
Safety procedures must be followed at all
times when disposing of the vehicle or
vehicle parts. Disposal should be
performed only by an authorised service
centre, to help protect the environment
and your health.
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
Adding accessories that change the vehicle's
frame, bumper system, height, front end,
or side sheet metal may keep the airbag
system from working properly.
The operation of the airbag system can also
be affected by changing, including
improperly repairing or replacing, any parts
of the following:
. Airbag system, including airbag modules,
front or side impact sensors, sensing and
diagnostic module, or airbag wiring
. Front seats, including stitching, seams or
zip fasteners
. Seat belts
. Steering wheel, instrument panel,
overhead console, ceiling trim, or pillar
garnish trim
. Inner door seals, including speakers
Your retailer and the service manual have
information about the location of the airbag
modules and sensors, sensing and diagnostic
modules and airbag wiring, along with the
proper replacement procedures.
If the vehicle has rollover roof-rail airbags,
see Different Size Tyres and Wheels 0 297
for additional important information.
If the vehicle must be modified because you
have a disability and have questions about
whether the modifications will affect the
vehicle's airbag system, or if you have
questions about whether the airbag system
will be affected if the vehicle is modified for
any other reason, see your retailer.
Airbag System Check
The airbag system does not need regularly
scheduled maintenance or replacement.
Make sure the airbag readiness light is
working. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 96.

covering and/or airbag module replaced.
For the location of the airbags, see Where
Are the Airbags? 0 53. See your dealer for
service.
Replacing Airbag System Parts
after a Crash
{ Warning
A crash can damage the airbag systems
in the vehicle. A damaged airbag system
may not properly protect you and your
passenger(s) in a crash, resulting in
serious injury or even death. To help
make sure the airbag systems are
working properly after a crash, have
them inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as possible.
If an airbag inflates, you will need to
replace airbag system parts. See your dealer
for service.

Older Children
{ Warning
Safety procedures must be followed at all
times when disposing of the vehicle or
vehicle parts. Disposal should be
performed only by an authorised service
centre, to help protect the environment
and your health.
. Fasten the lap-shoulder belt. Does the
shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, then return to the
booster seat.
. Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the
hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
. Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for
the length of the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear seat
belts?
Older children who have outgrown booster
seats should wear the vehicle's seat belts.
Refer to How to Wear Seat Belts Properly
0 46.
The manufacturer instructions that come
with the booster seat state the weight and
height limitations for that booster. Use a
booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test below:
. Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the
knees bend at the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the booster seat.
A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder
belt and get the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the child's
pelvic bones in a crash. It should never
be worn over the abdomen, which could
cause severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in a rear
seating position.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Seats and Restraints
In a crash, children who are not buckled up
can strike other people who are buckled up,
or can be thrown out of the vehicle. Older
children need to use seat belts properly.
{ Warning
Never allow more than one child to wear
the same seat belt. The seat belt cannot
properly spread the impact forces. In a
crash, they can be crushed together and
seriously injured. A seat belt must be
used by only one person at a time.
61
{ Warning
Never allow a child to wear the shoulder
belt of the seat belt under both arms or
behind their back. A child can be
seriously injured by not wearing the
lap-shoulder belt properly. In a crash, the
child would not be restrained by the
shoulder belt. The child could move too
far forward increasing the chance of head
and neck injury. The child might also
slide under the lap belt. The belt force
would then be applied right on the
abdomen. That could cause serious or
fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go
over the shoulder and across the chest.
Infants and Young Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This
includes infants and all other children.
Neither the distance travelled nor the age
and size of the traveller changes the need,
for everyone, to use safety restraints.
{ Warning
Children can be seriously injured or killed
if the shoulder belt is worn behind their
back, under their legs, or wrapped around
their neck. Never leave children
unattended in a vehicle and never allow
children to improperly wear, or play with,
the seat belts.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
62
Seats and Restraints
Every time infants and young children ride
in vehicles, they should have the protection
provided by appropriate child restraints.
Neither the vehicle's seat belt system nor its
airbag system is designed for them.
Children who are not restrained properly can
strike other people, or can be thrown out of
the vehicle.
{ Warning
Never hold an infant or a child while
riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an
infant or a child will become so heavy it
is not possible to hold it during a crash.
For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h
(25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will
suddenly become a 110 kg (240 lb) force
on a person's arms. An infant or child
should be secured in an appropriate child
restraint.
{ Warning
Children who are up against, or very
close to, any airbag when it inflates can
be seriously injured or killed. Never put a
rear-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a rear-facing child
restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. If you must secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the front
outboard seat, always move the front
passenger seat as far back as it will go.
Child restraints are devices used to restrain,
seat, or position children in the vehicle and
are sometimes called child seats or car seats.
There are three basic types of child
restraints:
. Forward-facing child restraints
. Rear-facing child restraints
. Belt-positioning booster seats
The proper child restraint for your child
depends on their size, weight, and age, and
also on whether the child restraint is
compatible with the vehicle in which it will
be used.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Seats and Restraints
For each type of child restraint, there are
many different models available. When
purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is
designed to be used in a motor vehicle.
The instruction manual that is provided with
the child restraint states the weight and
height limitations for that particular child
restraint. In addition, there are many kinds
of child restraints available for children with
special needs.
{ Warning
To reduce the risk of neck and head
injury in a crash, infants and toddlers
should be secured in a rear-facing child
restraint until age two, or until they
reach the maximum height and weight
limits of their child restraint.
{ Warning
A young child's hip bones are still so
small that the vehicle seat belt may not
remain low on the hip bones, as it
should. Instead, it may settle up around
the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt
would apply force on a body area that is
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
unprotected by any bony structure. This
alone could cause serious or fatal injuries.
To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injuries during a crash, young children
should always be secured in an
appropriate child restraint.
Child Restraint Systems
Infants and children should be placed in the
rear seat and properly restrained, according
to the terms in this manual.
A young child's hip bones are so small that
the vehicle's regular seat belt may not
remain low on the hip bones, as it should.
Instead, there is a possibility that it will load
the abdomen and cause serious or fatal
injury in a crash.
63
{ Danger
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it; DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
{ Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat, the airbag for
the front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to certain
forward-facing child restraints as indicated
in the tables listed in this manual.
See Airbag On-Off Switch 0 56.
When a child restraint is being used, pay
attention to the following usage and
installation instructions and also those
supplied with the child restraint.

Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the use of
child restraints is forbidden on certain seats.

Model B : Group I – Child Seat
Model C : Group II and III – Booster Seat
Child restraints are designed to be fastened
with the lap-shoulder belt or the ISOFIX
anchors. Some child restraints also use a top
tether or support leg.
Child Restraint Classification
For reference, child restraints available in the
market are classified based on the child's
mass. Carefully observe the installation and
usage instructions given by the child
restraint manufacturer.
When choosing a child restraint, it is
important to consider the child's height in
addition to its age and mass.
{ Danger
. Make sure that the child restraint is
installed properly. If the child restraint
is not properly attached, the risk of
serious injury in the event of a
collision increases.
. Do not attach or place objects or other
materials on the child restraint.
(Continued)
Model A : Group 0 and 0+ – Baby Seat
Danger (Continued)
. Do not leave any loose objects in the
vehicle. During an impact, an object
may move and cause injuries to the
occupants.
. After a crash, it is necessary to replace
the child restraint because it may
have suffered non-visible damage.
. Always restrain your child in a
properly installed child restraint, even
on short trips.
. Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from traffic.
{ Warning
. When carrying a child, follow the
procedures for the transport of
children established by the local laws.
. In some countries, the use of child
restraints is forbidden on certain seats.
. After removing the child from the
vehicle, keep the child restraint
attached with the seat belt or ISOFIX,

Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
in order to avoid the child restraint
from being thrown forward in case of
sudden braking.
Make sure that the child restraint:
. Is installed in accordance with the
instructions given by the child restraint
manufacturer.
. Has the label of approval of safety
regulations certification, in terms of the
local laws.
. Is suitable for your vehicle.
Selecting the Right Child Restraint
The rear seats are the most convenient
location to fasten a child restraint.
Children should travel facing rearward in the
vehicle to as late an age as possible. This
makes sure that the child's backbone, which
is still very weak, is under less strain in the
event of a crash.
General Motors recommends using a
genuine GM child restraint.
Ensure that the child restraint to be installed
is compatible with the vehicle type.
65
Make sure that the mounting location of the
child restraint within the vehicle is correct as
per the tables included in this manual. See
Where to Put the Restraint 0 65.
The provisions established by the laws have
priority over the provisions of this manual.
{ Danger
Never use a single seat belt with an adult
and a child. During an impact, the seat
belt will exert strong pressure on the
child, causing serious or fatal injury.
Never allow two children to share the
same seat belt. Both could suffer serious
injuries in a crash.
{ Danger
Where to Put the Restraint
According to accident statistics, children and
infants are safer when properly restrained in
an appropriate child restraint secured in a
rear seating position.
Infants and children must never be
carried on the lap of another occupant.
Whenever possible, children aged 12 and
under should be secured in a rear seating
position.
Although an infant does not weigh much,
it will be so heavy during a crash that it
will be impossible to hold it, even if the
occupant is attached to the seat belt.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the
front. This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if the airbag
deploys.

3. Try to move the head restraint to make
sure that it is locked in place.
Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint with the
seat belts in a rear seat position, study the
instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with
this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the ISOFIX system,
see ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems 0 71 for
how and where to install the child restraint
using ISOFIX. If a child restraint is secured in
the vehicle using a seat belt and it uses a
top tether, see ISOFIX Child Restraint
Systems 0 71 for top tether anchor locations.
If more than one child restraint needs to be
installed in the rear seat, be sure to read
Where to Put the Restraint 0 65.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap
and shoulder portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the child
restraint. Ensure the seat belt webbing is
routed as directly as possible and is not
caught on seat handles or plastic trim.
The child restraint instructions will show
you how.
Do not secure a child seat in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether be
anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint state that the top
tether must be anchored.
If the child restraint or vehicle seat position
does not have the ISOFIX system, you will
be using the seat belt to secure the child
restraint. Be sure to follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child restraint, so
that the seat belt can be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
There must not be direct contact
between the child restraint and the push
button.
4. Follow the instructions in the child
restraint owner's manual to tighten and
lock the child restraint using the vehicle
seat belt.
5. If the child restraint has a top tether,
follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of the top
tether. See ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 71.
6. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely held in
place. Refer to your child restraint
manufacturer's instructions.
To remove the child restraint, follow the
instructions in the child restraint owner's
manual to unlock it. Unfasten the vehicle
seat belt and let it return to the stowed
position. If the top tether is attached to a
top tether anchor, disconnect it.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Seats and Restraints
Securing Child Restraints (With
the Seat Belt in the Front Seat)
This vehicle has airbags. A rear seat is a
safer place to secure a forward-facing child
restraint. See Where to Put the Restraint
0 65.
There may be a switch on the instrument
panel that you can use to turn off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag. See
Airbag On-Off Switch 0 56 for more
information, including important safety
information.
Danger (Continued)
This is especially the case if rear-facing
child restraints are used on the front
passenger seat.
{ Warning
{ Danger
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child
restraint would be very close to the
inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger airbag inflates and
the passenger seat is in a forward
position.
When using a child restraint on the front
passenger seat, the airbag systems for
the front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of the
airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the
child.
(Continued)
Even if the airbag switch has turned off
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can
guarantee that an airbag will not deploy
under some unusual circumstance, even
though it is turned off.
(Continued)
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the
front. This is because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if the airbag
deploys.
75
Warning (Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints in a
rear seat, even if the airbag is off. If you
secure a forward-facing child restraint in
the front outboard passenger seat,
always move the seat as far back as it
will go. It is better to secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.
{ Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on and stays on, it means that
something may be wrong with the airbag
system. For example, the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag could inflate
even though the airbag on-off switch is
turned off.
To help avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0 96 for more
information, including important safety
information.

Seats and Restraints
If the child restraint uses a top tether, see
ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems 0 71 for top
tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position
without a top tether anchor if a national or
local law requires that the top tether must
be anchored, or if the instructions that come
with the child restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to secure
the child restraint in this position, follow the
instructions that came with the child
restraint and the following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing the forward-facing child
restraint. Move the seat upward or the
backrest to an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight installation of
the child restraint. There must be finger
clearance between the push button and
the child restraint.
When the airbag off switch has turned
off the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag, the off indicator in the airbag off
light should illuminate and remain
illuminated when you start the vehicle.
See Airbag On-Off Light 0 96.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate and run the lap
and shoulder portions of the vehicle seat
belt through or around the restraint.
Ensure the seat belt webbing is routed
as direct as possible and is not caught
on seat handles or plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will show you how.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child restraint, so
that the seat belt can be quickly
unbuckled if necessary.
5. Follow the instructions in the child
restraint owner's manual to tighten and
lock the child restraint when using the
vehicle seat belt.
6. If the child restraint has a top tether,
follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of the top
tether. See ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 71.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Seats and Restraints
If the airbags are off, the off indicator in the
passenger airbag status indicator will come
on and stay on when the vehicle is started.
To remove the child restraint, unbuckle the
vehicle seat belt and let it return to the
stowed position. If the top tether is attached
to a top tether anchor, disconnect it.
If you turned the airbag off with the switch,
turn on the front outboard passenger airbag
when you remove the child restraint from
the vehicle unless the person who will be
sitting there is a member of a passenger
airbag risk group. See Airbag On-Off Switch
0 56 for more information, including

Roof Rack System
Cargo Weight Limits
The vehicle may be equipped with side-rails
for a roof rack system. Cargo must be
secured with properly installed cross rails
and other accessories designed to carry
cargo. These can be purchased from your
dealer.
Do not exceed the maximum cargo weight
for the roof rack system, which includes the
weight of the cross rails and any other
accessories used to carry the cargo such as
bike racks or roof boxes. The maximum
cargo weight that can be loaded onto the
roof rack system is 100 kg (220 lb) or the
weight designated in the instructions that
came with the cross rails or other roof rack
accessories, whichever is less.
{ Warning
Before driving and occasionally during a
trip, check that the cargo is securely
fastened, that it rests evenly between the
cross rails and does not block the
vehicle's lights or windows. Never load
cargo directly on the roof of the vehicle
or allow cargo to hang over the rear or
sides of the vehicle. Never load cargo
without first properly installing cross rails
and other accessories designed to carry
cargo. Personal injury, death or damage
to the vehicle or other property may
occur.
If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally stop
the vehicle to make sure the cargo remains
in its place.
{ Warning
Never load the roof rack with more
weight than specified in this section.
Loading cargo on the roof rack will make
the vehicle's centre of gravity higher. To
avoid losing control of the vehicle, avoid
overloading, high speeds, sudden starts,
sharp turns, sudden braking, or abrupt
manoeuvres when carrying cargo on the
roof rack.
The weight of any cargo carried on the roof
rack system must be included in calculating
the loaded weight of the vehicle. Do not
exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle, including cargo carried
on the roof rack system and passengers and
cargo carried in the vehicle. For more
information on vehicle capacity and loading,
see Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.

door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the low
fuel light comes on. There still is a little fuel
left, but the vehicle should be
refuelled soon.
The fuel gauge may:
. Take a little more, or less fuel to fill up
than it indicates. For example, the gauge
may have indicated the tank is half full,
but it actually will take a little more,
or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. Moves a little while turning a corner,
speeding up, or braking.
. Takes a few seconds to stabilise after the
ignition is turned on and goes back to
empty when the ignition is turned off.
These are normal conditions, none of which
indicate a problem with the fuel gauge.
This gauge measures the temperature of the

Malfunctions are often indicated by the
system before any problem is noticeable.
Being aware of the light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on may prevent
damage.
Caution
If the vehicle is driven continually with
this light on, the emission control system
may not work as well, the fuel economy
may be lower, and the vehicle may not
run smoothly. This could lead to costly
repairs that might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Caution
Modifications to the engine, transmission,
exhaust, intake, or fuel system, or the
use of replacement tyres that do not
meet the original tyre specifications, can
cause this light to come on. This could
lead to costly repairs not covered by the
vehicle warranty. This could also affect
the vehicle's ability to pass an Emissions
Inspection/Maintenance test. See
Accessories and Modifications 0 255.
When the light is on, a malfunction has
been detected. Diagnosis and service may be
required.
Poor fuel quality can cause inefficient engine
operation and poor driveability, which may
go away once the engine is warmed up.

are on.
There is a sensor near the top centre of the
windscreen that automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the windscreen
clear of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The main beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
. The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
. The system detects a preceding vehicle's
tail lamps.
. The outside light is bright enough that
main beam headlamps are not required.
. The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
. The IntelliBeam system is disabled by the
button on the indicator Lever. If this
happens, press the button on the end of
the indicator lever when the exterior
lamp control is in the AUTO or 2
position to reactivate the IntelliBeam
system. The instrument cluster light will
come on to indicate the IntelliBeam is
reactivated.
The main beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
. The other vehicle's lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
. The other vehicle's lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
. The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
. The vehicle's windscreen is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
. The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and tail lamps.
. The vehicle is being driven on winding or
hilly roads.
The automatic main beam headlights may
need to be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.

Infotainment System
. Display text from radio stations that
include station name and messages.
This system relies on receiving specific
information from these stations and only
works when the information is available.
It is possible that a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information that causes
the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When information is broadcast from an RDS
station, the station name or call letters
display on the audio screen. Radio text
supporting the currently playing broadcast
may also appear.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the accessory
power outlets if there is interference or
static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only extend about 16 to 65 km
(10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some static
can occur, especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
Multi-Band Aerial
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The longer
range can cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
The multi-band roof aerial may be used for
radio, navigation, and other communication
systems, depending on the equipped
options. To ensure clear reception, keep the
aerial clear of obstructions, such as snow
and ice. If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it
is open, or a roof loaded with cargo,
reception may be affected.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
If equipped, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
is a universal broadcast system that shows
stations by the radio programme name on
the infotainment display. The DAB signal
produces a constant volume and is not
affected by interference from nearby
frequencies. The reception quality of DAB
improves if the signal is reflected by natural
obstacles or buildings. If the DAB signal is
unclear, reception is interrupted completely.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as making or
receiving phone calls, charging, or just
having the phone on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the phone
or turn it off if this happens.

Avoiding Untrusted Media Devices
When using media devices such as USB and
mobile devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could contain files
that affect system operation or performance
and should be avoided.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
Depending on your vehicle, it may be
equipped with two USB ports in the centre
console under the armrest and another two
on the centre console. These ports are for
data and charging. There may also be two

of the following reasons:
. The road system has changed.
. The vehicle is driving on slippery road
surfaces such as sand, gravel, or snow.
. The vehicle is travelling on winding roads
or long, straight roads.
. The vehicle is approaching a tall building
or a large vehicle.
. The surface streets run parallel to a
freeway.
. The vehicle has been transferred by a
vehicle carrier or a ferry.
. The current position calibration is set
incorrectly.
. The vehicle is travelling at high speed.
. The vehicle changes directions more than
once, or the vehicle is turning on a turn
table in a car park.
. The vehicle is entering and/or exiting a
car park, garage, or a car park with
a roof.
. The GPS signal is not received.
. A roof carrier is installed on the vehicle.
. Tire chains are installed on the vehicle.
. The tyres are replaced or worn.
. The tyre pressure is incorrect.
. This is the first navigation use after the
map data is updated.
. The 12-volt battery has been disconnected
for several days.
. The vehicle is driving in heavy traffic
where driving is at low speeds, and the
vehicle is stopped and started repeatedly.
Problems with Route Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance can occur
under one or more of the following
conditions:
. The turn was not made on the road
indicated.
. Route guidance might not be available
when using automatic rerouting for the
next right or left turn.
. The route might not be changed when
using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when turning
at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
. It could take a long time to operate
automatic rerouting during high-speed
driving.
. Automatic rerouting might display a route
returning to the set waypoint if heading
for a destination without passing through
a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle
due to a regulation by time or season or
any other regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be searched.
. The route to the destination might not be
shown if there are new roads, if roads
have recently changed, or if certain roads
are not listed in the map data. See Maps
0 135.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position on the
map, park with the vehicle running for two
to five minutes, until the vehicle position
updates. Make sure the vehicle is parked in
a location that is safe and has a clear view
of the sky and away from large
obstructions.
If the System Needs Service
If the navigation system needs service, see
your dealer.
Map Data Updates
The map data in the vehicle is the most
up-to-date information available when the
vehicle was produced. The map data is
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Infotainment System
updated periodically, provided that the map
information has changed and the vehicle has
a relevant service plan.
See your retailer for details on ordering,
purchasing, and installing a new or
replacement SD card. Features are subject to
change.
If the vehicle is equipped with Connected
Navigation, which is a subscription service
that enables certain features of the
navigation system, such as Traffic, Smart
Search/Routing, and Predictive Navigation,
then the system will download the latest
map data from the cloud.
Database Coverage Explanations
Coverage areas vary with respect to the
level of map detail available for any given
area. Some areas feature greater levels of
detail than others. If this happens, it does
not mean there is a problem with the
system. As the map data is updated, more
detail can become available for areas that
previously had limited detail. See Map Data
Updates 0 142.
Voice Recognition
If equipped, voice recognition allows
hands-free operation within the navigation,
audio, and mobile device applications. This
feature can be started by pressing g on the
steering wheel or by touching g on the
infotainment display with the navigation
application.
However, not all features within these areas
are supported by voice commands.
Generally, only complex tasks that require
multiple manual interactions to complete
are supported by voice commands.
For example, tasks that take more than one
or two touches, such as a song or artist to
play from a media device, would be
supported by voice commands. Other tasks,
like adjusting the volume or seeking up or
down, are audio features that are easily
performed by touching one or two options,
and are not supported by voice commands.
In general there are flexible ways to speak
commands for completing the tasks.
Try stating a One-Shot command, such as
“Directions to address
.” Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is, “Directions to
143
Place of Interest at .” If these
commands do not work, try saying, “Take
me to Place of Interest” or “Find address”
and the system will walk you through by
asking additional questions.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available once
the system has been initialised. This begins
when the ignition is turned on. Initialisation
may take a few moments.
1. Press g on the steering wheel controls
to activate voice recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the system
plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands
described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt can
be interrupted while it is playing by
pressing g again.
For example, if the prompt seems to be
taking too long to finish, speak the
command without waiting for the
prompt to complete and press g again.
Once voice recognition is started, both the
infotainment display and instrument cluster
show the selections and visual dialogue
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
144
Infotainment System
content. These displays can be turned on or
off in the Tutorial Mode under Settings
0 153.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
. Informative verbal prompts: This type of
prompt will provide more information
regarding the supported actions.
. Short prompts: This type of prompt will
provide simple instructions about what
can be stated.
. Auto informative prompts: This type of
prompt plays during the first few speech
sessions, then automatically switches to
the short prompt after some experience
has been gained through using the
system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is active,
there may be corresponding options
showing on the displays. A selection can be
made by manually touching the option,
or by speaking the number for the option to
select. Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted. Interaction
during a voice session may be completed
entirely using voice commands while some
manual commands may expedite a task. If a
selection is made using a manual control,
the voice recognition dialogue will progress
in the same way as if the selection were
made using a voice command. Once the
system completes the task, or the session is
terminated, the voice recognition dialogue
stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of speaking
the number associated with the entry
desired.
Cancelling Voice Recognition
. Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to
terminate the voice recognition session
and show the display where voice
recognition was initiated.
i on the steering wheel controls
to terminate the voice recognition session
and show the display where voice
recognition was initiated.

Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support natural
language commands in sentence form. For
those languages, use direct commands like
the examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking Commands
Voice recognition can understand commands
that are naturally stated in sentence form or
direct commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt before saying a
command or reply.
. Speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow.
. Use direct commands without a lot of
extra words. For example, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by the artist or
song name, or “Tune” followed by the
radio station number.
. Navigation destinations can be made in a
single command using keywords. A few
examples are: “I want directions to an
address,” “I need to find a Place of
Interest or (POI),” or “Find contact.”
The system responds by requesting more
details. For other POIs, say the name of a
category like “Restaurants,” “Shopping
Malls,” or “Hospitals.”
. Navigating to a destination outside of the
current country takes more than one
command. The first command is to tell
the system where the navigation will take
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Infotainment System
place, such as an Address, Junction, POI,
or Contact. If Address or Junction is
selected, the second command is to say,
“Change Country.” Once the system
responds, say the country before saying
the rest of the address and/or junction.
If POI is asked for, say “Change Location,”
then “Change Country.”
Direct commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An example of a
direct command would be “Call ”.
Examples of these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens while a
voice session is active. If “Phone” or “Phone
Commands” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is requested
and will respond with questions until
enough details are gathered to make a call.
If a mobile phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for example
“Call at work.”
Using Voice Recognition for List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice prompt will
ask to confirm or select an option from
that list.
When a display contains a list, there may be
options that are available but not displayed.
The list on a voice recognition screen
functions the same as a list on other
displays. Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list on a
display during a voice recognition session
suspends the current voice recognition event
and plays the prompt “Please select
manually or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to try again.”
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates and
prompts that it has timed out. The display
returns to the screen where voice
recognition was initiated.
The Back Command
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon on the
infotainment display to go to the previous
display.
If in voice recognition, and “Back” is spoken
all the way back to the starting display, and
then “Back” is spoken one more time, the
voice recognition session will cancel.
145
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition display
and the help prompt for the display is
played.
Touching g while the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt. Doing
this will stop the help prompt so that a
voice command can be used.
Voice Recognition for the Radio
If browsing the audio sources when voice is
touched, the voice recognition commands
for AM, FM, and DAB (if equipped) are
available.
“Switch to AM” : Switch bands to AM and
tune to the last AM radio station.
“Switch to FM” : Switch bands to FM and
tune to the last FM radio station.
“Switch to DAB” : Switch bands to DAB and
tune to the last DAB radio station.
“Tune to AM” : Tune to
the radio station whose frequency is
identified in the command (like “nine fifty”).
“Tune to FM” : Tune to the
radio station whose frequency is identified
in the command (like "one oh one
point one").

Handling Large Amounts of Media Content
It is expected that large amounts of media
content will be brought into the vehicle.
It may be necessary to handle large
amounts of media content in a different
way than smaller amounts of media. The
system may limit the options of voice
recognition by not allowing selection of files
by voice at the highest level if the number
of files exceeds the maximum limit.
Changes to voice commands due to media
content limits are:
. Files, including other individual files of all
media types such as songs, audiobook
chapters, podcast episodes, and videos.
. Album type folders including types such
as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the number of
files and albums is fewer than 12,000. When
the number of files connected to the system
is between 12,000 and 24,000, the content
cannot be accessed directly with one
command like “Play .”
The restriction is that the command “Play
Song” must be spoken first; the system will
then ask for the song name. The reply
command would be to say the name of the
song to play.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Infotainment System
Similar limits exist for album content.
If there are more than 12,000 albums, but
fewer than 24,000, the content cannot be
accessed directly with one command like,
“Play .” The command “Play
Album” must first be spoken; the system
will then ask for the album name. The reply
would be to say the name of the album
to play.
Once the number of files has exceeded
approximately 24,000, there is no support
for accessing the songs directly through
voice commands. There will still be access to
the media content by using commands for
playlists, artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists, artists,
and genres are prohibited after the number
of this type of media exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback the first
time voice recognition is initiated if it has
become apparent that any of these limits
are reached during a device initialising
process.
Voice recognition performance will degrade
to some extent based on many factors when
adding large amounts of data to recognise.
If so, accessing songs through playlists or
artist name may work better.
Voice Recognition for Navigation (If
Equipped)
“Navigation” : Begin a dialogue to enter
specific destination information.
“Navigation Commands” : Begin a dialogue
to enter specific destination information.
“Address” : Begin a dialogue to enter a
specific destination address, which includes
the entire address consisting of the house
number, street name, city and country.
“Place of Interest” : Begin a dialogue to
enter a destination Place of Interest
category or major brand name.

Bluetooth (Overview)
The Bluetooth-capable system can interact
with many mobile devices, allowing:
. Placement and receipt of calls in a
hands-free mode.
. Sharing of the device's address book or
contact list with the vehicle.
To minimise driver distraction, before driving
and with the vehicle parked:
. Become familiar with the features of the
mobile device. Organise the phone book
and contact lists clearly and delete
duplicate or rarely used entries.
If possible, program speed dial or other
shortcuts.
. Review the controls and operation of the
infotainment system.
. Pair mobile device(s) to the vehicle. The
system may not work with all mobile
devices. See “Pairing” later in this section.
Vehicles with a Bluetooth system can use a
Bluetooth-capable mobile device with a
Hands-Free Profile to make and receive
phone calls. The infotainment system and
voice recognition are used to control the
system. The system can be used while the

information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the automatic
climate control system may not work
properly.

Climate Controls
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the
fan may stay on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn off and lock the
vehicle. This is normal.
Air Vents
Operation Tips
. Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
air inlets at the base of the windscreen
that could block the flow of air into the
vehicle.
. Clear snow off the bonnet to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
. Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of the vehicle more effectively.
. Use of non-GM approved bonnet air flow
deflectors can adversely affect the
performance of the system. Check with
your dealer before adding equipment to
the outside of the vehicle.
. Do not attach any devices to the air vent
slats. This restricts airflow and may cause
damage to the air vents.
Adjustable air vents are in the centre and on
the sides of the instrument panel, and on
the rear of the centre console storage.
Maintenance
Move the slider knobs to change the
direction of or to close off the airflow.
The filter reduces dust, pollen, and other
airborne irritants from outside air that is
pulled into the vehicle. The filter should be
Passenger Compartment Air Filter

replaced as part of routine scheduled
maintenance. See your retailer regarding
replacement of the filter.
Service
All vehicles have a label underbonnet that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See your retailer for service.

Driving Information
Distracted Driving
Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Distraction comes in many forms and can
take your focus from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgement and do not let
other activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local governments
have enacted laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar with the local
laws in your area.
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here
are some driving tips to get the best fuel
economy possible.
. Set the climate controls to the desired
temperature after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not required.
. On AWD vehicles, use Tour Mode when
conditions permit.
. Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
. Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
. Avoid idling the engine for long periods
of time.
. When road and weather conditions are
appropriate, use cruise control.
. Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
. Keep vehicle tyres properly inflated.
. Combine several trips into a single trip.
. Replace the vehicle's tyres with the same
TPC Spec number moulded into the tyre's
sidewall near the size.
. Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your eyes
on the road, keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your attention on
driving.
. Do not use a phone in demanding driving
situations. Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary phone calls.
. Watch the road. Do not read, take notes,
or look up information on phones or
other electronic devices.
. Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
. Become familiar with vehicle features
before driving, such as programming
favourite radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any navigation
device prior to driving.

mobile phone.
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers)
are going to be careless and make
mistakes. Anticipate what they may do
and be ready.
. Allow enough following distance between
you and the driver in front of you.
. Focus on the task of driving.
If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is
being driven, brake normally but do not
pump the brakes. Doing so could make the
pedal harder to push down. If the engine
stops, there will be some power brake assist
but it will be used when the brake is
applied. Once the power assist is used up, it
can take longer to stop and the brake pedal
will be harder to push.
{ Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too long or
too often could cause a crash resulting in
injury or death. Focus your attention on
driving.
Refer to the infotainment section for more
information on using that system and the
navigation system, if equipped, including
pairing and using a mobile phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means “always expect the
unexpected.” The first step in driving
defensively is to wear the seat belt. See
Seat Belts 0 45.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are
important factors in helping to control a
vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception time and
reaction time. Deciding to push the brake
pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that time, a
vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph)
travels 20 m (66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind include:
. Keep enough distance between you and
the vehicle in front of you.
. Avoid needless heavy braking.
Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering system,
do not drive over kerbs, parking barriers,
or similar objects at speeds greater than
3 km/h (1 mph). Use care when driving
over other objects such as lane dividers
and speed bumps. Damage caused by
misuse of the vehicle is not covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Driving and Operating
Bend Tips
169
Off-Road Recovery
. Take bends at a reasonable speed.
. Reduce speed before entering a bend.
. Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the bend.
. Wait until the vehicle is out of the bend
before accelerating gently into the
straight.
Steering in Emergencies
. There are some situations when steering
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering system, which reduces the
amount of effort needed to steer the
vehicle. It does not have power steering
fluid. Regular maintenance is not required.
If the vehicle experiences a system
malfunction and loses power steering,
greater steering effort may be required.
Power steering assist also may be reduced if
you turn the steering wheel as far as it can
turn and hold it there with force for an
extended period of time.
See your dealer if there is a problem.
around a problem may be more effective
than braking.
. Holding both sides of the steering wheel
allows you to turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
. The Antilock Brake System (ABS) allows
steering while braking.
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:
1. Ease off the accelerator and then,
if there is nothing in the way, steer the
vehicle so that it straddles the edge of
the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about
one-eighth of a turn, until the right front
tyre contacts the pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight
down the roadway.

Driving and Operating
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
. Braking Skid - wheels are not rolling.
. Steering or Cornering Skid - too much
speed or steering in a bend causes tyres
to slip and lose cornering force.
. Acceleration Skid - too much throttle
causes the driving wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking
reasonable care suited to existing conditions,
and by not overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide, follow these
suggestions:
. Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal
and steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may straighten out. Be
ready for a second skid if it occurs.
. Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions. Stopping
distance can be longer and vehicle control
can be affected when traction is reduced
by water, snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to recognise
warning clues - such as enough water, ice,
or packed snow on the road to make a
mirrored surface - and slow down when
you have any doubt.
. Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,
or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause the tyres to
slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid only
the braking skid.
Off-Road Driving
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles can be used
for off-road driving. Vehicles without AWD
and vehicles not equipped with All Terrain
(AT) or On-Off Road (OOR) tyres must not
be driven off-road except on a level, solid
surface. To contact the tyre manufacturer
for more information about the original
equipment tyres, see the warranty manual.
Controlling the vehicle is the key to
successful off-road driving. One of the best
ways to control the vehicle is to control the
speed.
{ Warning
When driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily
throw you out of position. This could
cause you to lose control and crash. You
and your passengers should always wear
seat belts.
Before Driving Off-Road
. Have all necessary maintenance and
service work completed.
. Fuel the vehicle, fill fluid levels, and check
inflation pressure in all tyres, including
the spare, if equipped.
. Read all the information about AWD
vehicles in this manual.
. Make sure all underbody shields,
if equipped, are properly attached.
. Know the local laws that apply to off-road
driving.
To gain more ground clearance if needed, it
may be necessary to remove the front fascia
lower air dam. However, driving without the
front spoiler reduces fuel economy.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
Caution
Operating the vehicle for extended
periods without the front fascia lower air
dam installed can cause improper airflow
to the engine. Reattach the front fascia
air dam after off-road driving.
Loading the Vehicle for Off-Road Driving
{ Warning
. Unsecured cargo on the load floor can
be tossed about when driving over
rough terrain. You or your passengers
can be struck by flying objects. Secure
the cargo properly.
. Keep cargo in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible. The
heaviest things should be on the floor,
forward of the rear axle.
. Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle's centre of gravity, making it
more likely to roll over. You can be
seriously or fatally injured if the
vehicle rolls over. Put heavy loads
inside the cargo area, not on the roof.
For more information about loading the
vehicle, see Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
Environmental Concerns
. Always use established trails, roads, and
areas that have been set aside for public
off-road recreational driving and obey all
posted regulations.
. Do not damage shrubs, flowers, trees,
or grasses or disturb wildlife.
. Do not park over things that burn. See
Parking over Things That Burn 0 185.
Driving on Hills
Driving safely on hills requires good
judgement and an understanding of what
the vehicle can and cannot do.
{ Warning
Many hills are simply too steep for any
vehicle. Driving up hills can cause the
vehicle to stall. Driving down hills can
cause loss of control. Driving across hills
can cause a rollover. You could be injured
or killed. Do not drive on steep hills.
Before driving on a hill, assess the
steepness, traction, and obstructions. If the
terrain ahead cannot be seen, get out of the
vehicle and walk the hill before driving
further.
171
When driving on hills:
. Use a low gear and keep a firm grip on
the steering wheel.
. Maintain a slow speed.
. When possible, drive straight up or down
the hill.
. Slow down when approaching the top of
the hill.
{ Warning
Driving to the top of a hill at high speed
can cause a collision. There could be a
drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be seriously
injured or killed. As you near the top of a
hill, slow down and stay alert.
. Use headlamps even during the day to
make the vehicle more visible.
. Never go downhill forward or backward
with the transmission in N (Neutral). The
brakes could overheat and you could lose
control.
. When driving down a hill, keep the
vehicle headed straight down. Use a low
gear because the engine will work with
the brakes to slow the vehicle and help
keep the vehicle under control.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
172
Driving and Operating
{ Warning
Heavy braking when going down a hill
can cause your brakes to overheat and
fade. This could cause loss of control and
you or others could be injured or killed.
Apply the brakes lightly when descending
a hill and use a low gear to keep vehicle
speed under control.
. Avoid turns that take the vehicle across
the incline of the hill. Driving across an
incline puts more weight on the downhill
wheels, which could cause a downhill
slide or a roll-over.
. Loose gravel, muddy spots, or even wet
grass can cause the tyres to slip
sideways, downhill. If the vehicle slips
sideways, it can hit something and
potentially roll over.
. Hidden obstacles can make the steepness
of the incline more severe. If a rock is
driven across with the uphill wheels, or if
the downhill wheels drop into a rut or
depression, the vehicle can tilt even more.
. If an incline must be driven across and
the vehicle starts to slide, turn downhill.
This should help straighten out the
vehicle and prevent side slipping.
If the vehicle stalls on a hill:
1. Apply the brakes to stop the vehicle, and
then apply the parking brake.
2. Shift into P (Park) and then restart the
engine.
. If driving uphill when the vehicle
stalls, shift to R (Reverse), release the
parking brake, and reverse
straight down.
. Never try to turn the vehicle around.
If the hill is steep enough to stall the
vehicle, it is steep enough to cause it
to roll over.
. If you cannot make it up the hill,
back straight down the hill.
. Never reverse down a hill in
N (Neutral) using only the brake.
. The vehicle can roll backward quickly
and you could lose control.
. If driving downhill when the vehicle
stalls, shift to a lower gear, release
the parking brake, and drive straight
down the hill.
3. If the vehicle cannot be restarted after
stalling, apply the parking brake, shift
into P (Park), and turn the vehicle off.
3.1. Leave the vehicle and seek help.
3.2. Stay clear of the path the vehicle
would take if it rolled downhill.
{ Warning
Getting out of the vehicle on the
downhill side when stopped across an
incline is dangerous. If the vehicle rolls
over, you could be crushed or killed.
Always get out on the uphill side of the
vehicle and stay well clear of the
rollover path.
Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow, or Ice
Use a low gear when driving in mud – the
deeper the mud, the lower the gear. Keep
the vehicle moving to avoid getting stuck.
Traction changes when driving on sand. On
loose sand, such as on beaches or sand
dunes, the tyres tend to sink into the sand.
This affects steering, accelerating, and
braking. Drive at a reduced speed and avoid
sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres.
Traction is reduced on hard packed snow
and ice and it is easy to lose control. Reduce
vehicle speed when driving on hard packed
snow and ice.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
{ Warning
Driving on frozen lakes, ponds, or rivers
can be dangerous. Ice conditions vary
greatly and the vehicle could fall through
the ice; you and your passengers could
drown. Drive your vehicle on safe
surfaces only.
Driving in Water
{ Warning
Driving through rushing water can be
dangerous. Deep water can sweep your
vehicle downstream and you and your
passengers could drown. If it is only
shallow water, it can still wash away the
ground from under your tyres. Traction
could be lost, and the vehicle could roll
over. Do not drive through rushing water.
Caution
Do not drive through standing water if it
is deep enough to cover the wheel hubs,
axles, or exhaust pipe. Deep water can
damage the axle and other vehicle parts.
If the standing water is not too deep, drive
through it slowly. At faster speeds, water
can get into the engine and cause it to stall.
Stalling can occur if the exhaust pipe is
under water. Do not turn off the ignition
when driving through water. If the exhaust
pipe is under water, the engine will not
start. When going through water, the brakes
get wet, and it might take longer to stop.
See Driving on Wet Roads 0 173.
After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected on the underbody or chassis,
or under the bonnet. These accumulations
can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the
brake linings cleaned and checked. These
substances can cause glazing and uneven
braking. Check the body structure, steering,
suspension, wheels, tyres, and exhaust
system for damage and check the fuel lines
and cooling system for any leakage.
More frequent maintenance service is
required. See Maintenance Schedule (Petrol)
0 324 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel) 0 326.
173
Driving on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle
traction and affect your ability to stop and
accelerate. Always drive slower in these
types of driving conditions and avoid driving
through large puddles and deep-standing or
flowing water.
{ Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes. They
might not work as well in a quick stop
and could cause pulling to one side. You
could lose control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle of
water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply
the brake pedal until the brakes work
normally.
Flowing or rushing water creates strong
forces. Driving through flowing water
could cause the vehicle to be carried
away. If this happens, you and other
vehicle occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be very
cautious about trying to drive through
flowing water.

Driving and Operating
Aquaplaning
Hill and Mountain Roads
Aquaplaning is dangerous. Water can build
up under the vehicle's tyres so they actually
ride on the water. This can happen if the
road is wet enough and you are going fast
enough. When the vehicle is aquaplaning, it
has little or no contact with the road.
Driving on steep hills or through mountains
is different than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Tips include:
. Keep the vehicle serviced and in good
shape.
. Check all fluid levels and brakes, tyres,
cooling system, and transmission.
. Shift to a lower gear when going down
steep or long hills.
There is no hard and fast rule about
aquaplaning. The best advice is to slow
down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet weather
driving tips include:
. Allow extra following distance.
. Overtake with caution.
. Keep windscreen wiping equipment in
good condition.
. Keep the windscreen washer fluid
reservoir filled.
. Have good tyres with proper tread depth.
See Tyres 0 286.
. Turn off cruise control.
. Activate All-Wheel Drive (AWD) mode. See
Driver Mode Control 0 199.
{ Warning
Using the brakes to slow the vehicle on a
long downhill slope can cause brake
overheating, can reduce brake
performance, and could result in a loss of
braking. Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the brakes
on a steep downhill slope.
{ Warning
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with
the ignition off is dangerous. This can
cause overheating of the brakes and loss
of steering assist. Always have the engine
running and the vehicle in gear.
. Drive at speeds that keep the vehicle in
its own lane. Do not swing wide or cross
the centre line.
. Be alert on top of hills; something could
be in your lane (e.g. stalled car, crash).

Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Caution
To avoid damage to the wheels and
brake components, always clear snow and
ice from inside the wheels and
underneath the vehicle before driving.
Snow or ice between the tyres and the road
creates less traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at about 0 °C
(32 °F) when freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain
until roads can be treated.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
For Slippery Road Driving:
. Accelerate gently. Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin and makes the
surface under the tyres slick.
. Turn on Traction Control. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 198.
. The Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves
vehicle stability during hard stops, but
the brakes should be applied sooner than
when on dry surfaces. See Antilock Brake
System (ABS) 0 196.
. Allow greater following distance and
watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can
occur on otherwise clear roads in shaded
areas. The surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy when the
surrounding roads are clear. Avoid sudden
steering manoeuvres and braking while
on ice.
. Turn off cruise control.
. Select All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Mode for
vehicles equipped with AWD. Select
Snow/Ice Mode for FWD only vehicles.
See Driver Mode Control 0 199 and
All-Wheel Drive 0 195.
Cold Weather Mode
In very low temperatures, a cold weather
message may display on the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The engine speed,
gearbox shift patterns, and cabin fan speed
may operate differently to enable the
vehicle to warm up quicker. You can
manually override the cabin fan speed in
cold weather mode.
Blizzard Conditions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and signal
for help. Stay with the vehicle unless there
is help nearby. To get help and keep
everyone in the vehicle safe:
. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
. Tie a red cloth to an outside mirror.
{ Warning
Snow can trap engine exhaust under the
vehicle. This may cause exhaust gases to
get inside. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO), which cannot be
seen or smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle is stuck in snow:
(Continued)
175
Warning (Continued)
. Clear snow from the base of the
vehicle, especially any blocking the
exhaust pipe.
. Open a window about 5 cm (2 in) on
the vehicle side that is away from the
wind, to bring in fresh air.
. Fully open the air outlets on or under
the instrument panel.
. Adjust the climate control system to
circulate the air inside the vehicle and
set the fan speed to the highest
setting. See “Climate Control Systems.”
For more information about CO, see
Engine Exhaust 0 186.
To save fuel, run the engine for short
periods to warm the vehicle and then shut
the engine off and partially close the
window. Moving about to keep warm also
helps.
If it takes time for help to arrive, when
running the engine, push the accelerator
pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than
the idle speed. This keeps the battery

Driving and Operating
charged to restart the vehicle and to signal
for help with the headlamps. Do this as
little as possible, to save fuel.
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to
free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud,
ice, or snow.
If stuck too severely for the traction system
to free the vehicle, turn the traction system
off and use the rocking method. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control
0 198.
{ Warning
If the vehicle's tyres spin at high speed,
they can explode, and you or others
could be injured. The vehicle can
overheat, causing an engine compartment
fire or other damage. Spin the wheels as
little as possible and avoid going above
56 km/h (35 mph).
For All-Wheel Drive (AWD), select Off-Road
or AWD mode. See Driver Mode Control
0 199 and
All-Wheel Drive 0 195.
Rocking the Vehicle to Get it Out
Turn the steering wheel left and right to
clear the area around the front wheels. Turn
off any traction system. Shift back and forth
between R (Reverse) and a low forward
gear, spinning the wheels as little as
possible. To prevent transmission wear, wait
until the wheels stop spinning before
shifting gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal when the transmission is
in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in the
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that could free the vehicle.
If that does not get the vehicle out after a
few tries, it might need to be towed out.
If the vehicle does need to be towed out,
see Transporting a Disabled Vehicle 0 313.
Vehicle Load Limits
It is very important to know how much
weight the vehicle can carry. This
weight is called the vehicle capacity
weight and includes the weight of all
occupants, cargo, and all
non-factory-installed options. Two labels
on the vehicle may show how much
weight it may properly carry, the Tyre
and Loading Information label and the
Certification/Tyre label.
{ Warning
Do not load the vehicle any heavier
than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR), or either the maximum
front or rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). This can cause
systems to break and change the
way the vehicle handles. This could
cause loss of control and a crash.
Overloading can also reduce stopping
performance, damage the tyres, and
shorten the life of the vehicle.

tyres and inflation see Tyres 0 286 and
Tyre Pressure 0 288.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle Certification/
Tyre label. It may show the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
the front and rear axle. See
“Certification/Tyre Label” later in this
section.
Example Label
A vehicle-specific Tyre and Loading
Information label is attached to the
centre pillar (B-pillar). The tyre and
loading information label shows the
number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum vehicle
capacity weight (2) in kilograms and
pounds.
The Tyre and Loading Information label
also shows the size of the original
equipment tyres (3) and the
recommended cold tyre inflation
“Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit–
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or
XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
177
if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a
trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult
this manual to determine how this
reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.”
See Trailer Towing 0 246 for important
information on towing a trailer, towing
safety rules and trailering tips.

Certification/Tyre Label
The Certification/Tyre label may also
show the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on the front and rear
axles, weigh the vehicle at a weigh
station. Your dealer can help with this.
Be sure to spread the load equally on
both sides of the centreline.

Following run-in, engine speed and load
can be gradually increased.
On new vehicles, the various mechanical and
electrical systems experience a “running-in
period” period during the first 6 400 km
(4,000 mi) of routine driving. As the vehicle
is driven, the mechanical systems adjust to
provide optimal fuel economy and gear
change performance.
Electrical systems will adapt and calibrate
during the break-in period. A one-time
occurrence of clicks and similar vehicle
noises is normal during this process.
The vehicle has an electronic keyless ignition
with pushbutton start.
If the pushbutton start is not working, the
vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna
signal causing interference to the Keyless
Access system. See Remote Key Operation
0 7.

repaired.
There are holes or openings in the
vehicle body from damage or
aftermarket modifications that are not
completely sealed.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If unusual fumes are detected or if it is
suspected that exhaust is coming into the
vehicle:
. Drive it only with the windows
completely down.
. Have the vehicle repaired immediately.
Never park the vehicle with the engine
running in an enclosed area such as a
garage or a building that has no fresh air
ventilation.
Running the Vehicle While Parked
It is better not to park with the engine
running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine running,
follow the proper steps to be sure the
vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park
0 184 and
Engine Exhaust 0 186.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The exhaust system has a Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) to reduce vehicle emissions. On
some exhaust systems with a DPF, the
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
exhaust cooler mixes air with the exhaust to
lower the temperature before it leaves the
tailpipe.
The DPF, the tailpipe, and other exhaust
system components must not be altered.
Regularly inspect and clean any mud or dirt
from the exhaust cooler, especially where
the exhaust cooler connects to the tailpipe
and the openings where fresh air enters the
cooler.
The DPF will clean itself as part of normal
operation. Several factors, including fuel
consumed, hours of engine operation, and
miles driven, are monitored by the Engine
Control Module (ECM). The self-cleaning
occurs approximately once per tank of fuel.
Vehicles with the DPF have specific fuel and
engine oil requirements. See Fuel for Diesel
Engines 0 234 and
Engine Oil 0 260.
Caution
Damage can occur to the DPF
components if the required Ultra Low
Sulphur Diesel (15 ppm sulphur
maximum) fuel and engine oil specified in
the Recommended Fluids and Lubricants

Caution
section of this manual are not used. This
damage would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Avoid extended idling because the DPF
system is not capable of self-cleaning at
idle speed. During extended idling,
monitor the instrument cluster lights and
DIC for messages and take appropriate
action. Continued idling with the warning
light/message shown could cause damage
to the DPF, requiring repair and possible
replacement that might not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Under certain conditions, such as idling or
very short trips, the self-cleaning process has
less efficiency and cannot be completed.
To resolve this, continue driving safely at a
steady speed as close to the posted speed
limit as possible, preferably without
stopping, until the message clears. This can
take up to 30 minutes.
{ Warning
During DPF self cleaning or during
extended idling in P (Park), the exhaust
system and exhaust gases are very hot.
Things that burn could touch hot exhaust
parts under the vehicle and ignite. You or
others could be burned. Do not park,
or idle for an extended period of time,
near or over papers, leaves, dry grass,
or other things that can burn. Keep the
exhaust area clear of material that could
ignite or burn. See “Parking over Things
That Burn” in the owner's manual.
During self-cleaning, there will be a change
in the exhaust sound and engine idle speed.
Along with this, a burning smell and
reduction in fuel economy may be noticed.
This is normal.
If the vehicle is run at idle speed or driven
on very short trips with the DPF warning
message shown and the exhaust filter is not
cleaned as required, the malfunction
indicator lamp and a DIC message will be
shown. See your dealer. Also see
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine
Light) 0 97.

AdBlue
{ Warning
Avoid getting AdBlue (also referred to as
Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF) on your skin
or in your eyes as it could cause
irritation. For more safety, handling, and
storage information, see the AdBlue
container label.
Caution
Use only AdBlue that is GM approved,
or fluid containing the API certified or ISO
22241 label. The use of other fluids could
damage the system, requiring costly
repairs that will not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Caution
Do not mix fuel with AdBlue, and do not
fill AdBlue into the fuel tank. This could
lead to costly repairs that might not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
AdBlue is used with diesel engines to reduce
the amount of regulated emissions
produced. The fluid level in the AdBlue tank
must be maintained for the vehicle to run
properly. AdBlue is not a fuel additive.
AdBlue freezes when exposed to
temperatures below −11 °C (12 °F). For
AdBlue tank capacity, see Capacities and
Specifications 0 335.
Filling the AdBlue Tank
It is normal to hear the AdBlue system
purge fluid back into the tank after the
vehicle is shut off.
Locating AdBlue
AdBlue can be purchased at your authorised
retailers. Additionally, some diesel truck
filling stations or retailers may have AdBlue
available for purchase. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0 330.
The blue AdBlue cap is behind the fuel/
AdBlue hatch. If equipped with a fuel cap,
do not remove the fuel and AdBlue caps at
the same time. Fill diesel fuel and AdBlue
independently. Turn the AdBlue cap
anticlockwise to remove.
In cold conditions, AdBlue can freeze in the
AdBlue filler pipe opening. If this prevents
the filling of the AdBlue tank, park the
vehicle in a warm garage overnight.

Driving and Operating
189
If AdBlue is added under freezing conditions,
it may require less fluid to fill the
AdBlue tank.
When fluid reaches the top of the AdBlue
filler pipe, stop filling. Do not top up the
AdBlue tank. If using a bottle or jug to refill
AdBlue, follow the instructions on the
container label and use a dedicated
filling aid.
Caution
Do not overfill the AdBlue tank and do
not allow AdBlue to make contact with
the finished surfaces of the vehicle, as it
could damage the vehicle finish. If AdBlue
is spilled during filling, wipe any affected
surface with a damp cloth.
When replacing the AdBlue cap, turn it
clockwise until it clicks. Make sure the cap is
fully installed.
Push the fuel/AdBlue hatch closed.
AdBlue Low
Fill the AdBlue tank on level ground and
with the vehicle switched off. When adding
AdBlue, it is recommended to fully fill the
AdBlue tank. For AdBlue tank capacity, see
Capacities and Specifications 0 335. When
adding AdBlue to an empty tank or tank
approaching empty, always fully fill the
AdBlue tank and allow the vehicle to restart.
As the AdBlue level drops, warnings
automatically display in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). Select Vehicle

Driving and Operating
Information in the DIC to view AdBlue level
status. See Driver Information Centre (DIC)
0 106.
Refill the AdBlue tank at the first
opportunity after a low warning indication.
If the AdBlue tank is empty, the vehicle may
not restart.
It may take some time for the vehicle to
detect that AdBlue has been added.
If AdBlue is added in freezing conditions,
additional time may be required to
recognise the new AdBlue level.
The AdBlue range DIC message first displays
at approximately 2400 km (1,491 mi). This
message appears again at approximately
1750 km (1,087 mi) of remaining range
before the AdBlue tank becomes empty.
As the fluid level nears empty, these
messages appear every time the vehicle is
started.
If the AdBlue low warnings are ignored and
the AdBlue tank becomes empty, the DIC
will display messages that describe the
action needed and distance until vehicle
restarts are prevented.
AdBlue Quality Poor
Automatic Transmission
Use only AdBlue that is GM approved,
or fluid containing the API certified or ISO
22241 label.
AdBlue has an expiration date. If the system
detects poor quality, or contaminated,
or diluted AdBlue, a DIC message will
display along with distance until vehicle
restarts are prevented. There will also be a
flashing warning light and chimes.
Adding fresh AdBlue to the system may
resolve the problem after driving a short
distance, depending on several factors. If the
DIC message persists, see your dealer.
High Emission Warnings
If a problem occurs with the vehicle
emission system, chimes sound and a DIC
message displays along with distance until
vehicle restarts will be prevented. In some
cases, this message will clear itself,
indicating that the emission system has
corrected the condition. If the DIC message
persists, see your dealer.
The shift pattern is displayed in the top of
the gear lever. The selected gear position
will illuminate red on the gear lever, while
all others will be displayed in white. If the
gear change is not immediate, as in very
cold conditions, the indicator on the gear
lever may flash until it is fully engaged.
The gear lever always starts from a centre
position, represented by an up/down arrow
on the shift pattern. After releasing the gear
lever, it will return to the centre position.
The transmission does not operate when the

Driving and Operating
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake boost
have hydraulic brake circuits that are
electronically controlled when the brake
pedal is applied during normal operation.
The system performs routine tests and turns
off within a few minutes after the vehicle is
turned off. Noise may be heard during this
time. If the brake pedal is depressed during
the tests or when the electric brake boost
system is off, a noticeable change in pedal
force and travel may be felt. This is normal.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) helps
prevent a braking skid and maintain steering
while braking hard.
If there is a problem with ABS, this warning
light stays on. See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 0 100.
ABS does not change the time needed to
put your foot on the brake pedal and does
not always decrease stopping distance.
If you get too close to the vehicle ahead,
there will not be enough time to apply the
brakes if it suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room ahead to stop, even
with ABS.
Electric Parking Brake
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Hearing and feeling ABS
operate is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows steering and braking at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can
help even more than braking.
The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) can always
be applied, even if the vehicle is switched
off. In case of insufficient electrical power,
the EPB cannot be applied or released. To
prevent draining the battery, avoid
unnecessary repeated cycles of the EPB.
The system has a red parking brake status
light, and an amber parking brake service
warning light. See Electric Parking Brake
Light 0 99 and
Service Electric Parking Brake Light 0 99.
There are also handbrake-related Driver
Information Centre (DIC) messages.

Driving and Operating
Before leaving the vehicle, check the red
handbrake status light to ensure that the
handbrake is applied.
EPB Apply
To apply the EPB:
1. Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop.
2. Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The red handbrake status light will flash and
then stay on once the EPB is fully applied.
If the red handbrake status light flashes
continuously, then the EPB is only partially
applied or there is a problem with the EPB.
A DIC message will display. Release the EPB
and try to apply it again. If the light does
not come on, or keeps flashing, have the
vehicle serviced. Do not drive the vehicle if
the red handbrake status light is flashing.
See your dealer.
If the amber parking brake service warning
light is illuminated, press the EPB switch.
Continue to hold the switch until the red
handbrake status light remains on. If the
amber parking brake service warning light is
illuminated, see your retailer.
If the EPB is applied while the vehicle is
moving, the vehicle will decelerate as long
as the switch is pressed. If the switch is
pressed until the vehicle comes to a stop,
the EPB will remain applied.
The vehicle may automatically apply the EPB
in some situations when the vehicle is not
moving. This is normal, and takes place to
periodically check the correct operation of
the EPB system, or at the request of other
safety functions that utilise the EPB.
If the EPB fails to apply, block the rear
wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
EPB Release
To release the EPB:
1. Turn the ignition on or to
accessory mode.
2. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
3. Press the EPB switch momentarily.
The EPB is released when the red handbrake
status light is off.
If the amber parking brake service warning
light is illuminated, release the EPB by
pressing and holding the EPB switch.
Continue to hold the switch until the red
197
handbrake status light is off. If either light
stays on after release is attempted, see your
dealer.
Caution
Driving with the parking brake on can
overheat the brake system and cause
premature wear or damage to brake
system parts. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
If you are towing a trailer and parking on a
hill, see Driving Characteristics and Towing
Tips 0 243.
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB will automatically release if the
vehicle is running, placed into gear and an
attempt is made to drive away. Avoid rapid
acceleration when the EPB is applied, to
preserve parking brake lining life.
Brake Assist
Brake Assist detects rapid brake pedal
applications due to emergency braking
situations and provides additional braking to
activate the Antilock Brake System (ABS) if
the brake pedal is not pushed hard enough

Driving and Operating
to activate ABS normally. Minor noise, brake
pedal pulsation, and/or pedal movement
during this time may occur. Continue to
apply the brake pedal as the driving
situation dictates. Brake Assist disengages
when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
{ Warning
Do not rely on the HSA feature. HSA does
not replace the need to pay attention
and drive safely. You may not hear or
feel alerts or warnings provided by this
system. Failure to use proper care when
driving may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. See Defensive Driving
0 168.
When the vehicle is stopped on a grade, Hill
Start Assist (HSA) prevents the vehicle from
rolling in an unintended direction during the
transition from brake pedal release to
accelerator pedal apply. The brakes release
when the accelerator pedal is applied. If the
accelerator pedal is not applied within a few
minutes, the Electric Parking Brake will
apply. The brakes may also release under
other conditions. Do not rely on HSA to hold
the vehicle.
HSA is available when the vehicle is facing
uphill in a forward gear, or when facing
downhill in R (Reverse). The vehicle must
come to a complete stop on a grade for HSA
to activate.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction Control System
(TCS) and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). These systems help limit
wheel spin and assist the driver in
maintaining control, especially on slippery
road conditions.
TCS activates if it senses that any of the
drive wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. On an All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
vehicle in AWD or Sport Mode, the system
will operate if it senses that any of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, TCS applies the
brakes to the spinning wheels and reduces
engine power to limit wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates when the system
senses a discrepancy between the intended
path and the direction the vehicle is actually
travelling. StabiliTrak/ESC selectively applies
braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's
brakes to help steer the vehicle in the
direction in which you are steering.
If cruise control is being used and traction
control or StabiliTrak/ESC begins to limit
wheel spin, cruise control will disengage.
Cruise control may be turned back on when
road conditions allow. TCS and StabiliTrak/
ESC will automatically turn on when cruise
control is set.
Both systems come on automatically when
the vehicle is started and begins to move.
The systems may be heard or felt while
they are operating or while performing
diagnostic checks. This is normal and does
not mean there is a problem with the
vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both systems on
for normal driving conditions, but it may be

next 5 km/h (5 mph) mark on the
speedometer, move the thumbwheel down
toward SET− to the second detent.
Warning (Continued)
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tyre traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
With cruise control, a speed of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be
maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 25 km/h (15 mph).
If the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
begins to limit wheel spin while using cruise
control, the cruise control automatically
disengages. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 198. If a collision alert
occurs when cruise control is activated,
cruise control is disengaged. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 222. When
road conditions allow cruise control to be

Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced)
If equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC), it allows the driver to select the
cruise control set speed and following gap.
Read this entire section before using this
system. The following gap is the following
time between your vehicle and a vehicle
detected directly ahead in your path,
moving in the same direction. If no vehicle
is detected in your path, ACC works like
regular cruise control. ACC uses camera and
radar sensors.
If a vehicle is detected in your path, ACC can
apply acceleration or limited, moderate
braking to maintain the selected following
gap. To disengage ACC, apply the brake.
If ACC is controlling your vehicle speed
when the Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system activates, the ACC may automatically
disengage. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 198. When road
conditions allow ACC to be safely used, the
ACC can be turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or StabiliTrak/ESC system
will disengage and prevent engagement
of ACC.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
ACC can reduce the need for you to
frequently brake and accelerate, especially
when used on expressways, dual
carriageways and motorways. When used on
other roads, you may need to take over the
control of braking or acceleration more
often.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle while
navigating a bend and may increase speed
out of the bend, but will not exceed the set
speed.
{ Warning
ACC has limited braking ability and may
not have time to slow the vehicle down
enough to avoid a collision with another
vehicle you are following. This can occur
when vehicles suddenly slow or stop
ahead, or enter your lane. Also see
“Alerting the Driver” in this section.
Complete attention is always required
while driving and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0 168.

Approaching and Following a Vehicle
Overtaking a Vehicle While Using ACC
If the set speed is high enough, and the left
indicator is used to overtake a vehicle ahead
within the selected interval, ACC may assist
by gradually accelerating the following
vehicle prior to the lane change.
The vehicle ahead indicator is in the
instrument cluster and HUD display,
if equipped.
The vehicle ahead indicator only displays
when a vehicle is detected in your vehicle's
path moving in the same direction.
If this symbol is not displaying, ACC will not
respond to or brake for vehicles ahead.
ACC automatically slows the vehicle down
and adjusts vehicle speed to follow the
vehicle in front at the selected follow gap.
The vehicle speed increases or decreases to
follow the vehicle in front of you, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may apply
limited braking, if necessary. When braking
is active, the brake lamps will come on. The
automatic braking may feel or sound
different than if the brakes were applied
manually. This is normal.
{ Warning
When using ACC to overtake a vehicle or
change lane, the distance to the vehicle
ahead being overtaken may be reduced.
ACC may not apply sufficient acceleration
or braking when overtaking a vehicle or
changing lane. Always be ready to
accelerate or brake manually to finish
overtaking or changing lane.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{ Warning
ACC may not detect and react to stopped
or slow-moving vehicles ahead of you. For
example, the system may not brake for a
vehicle it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or when a
vehicle suddenly appears due to a vehicle
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may

Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
. Vehicles with cargo extending from
the rear.
. Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse-drawn carriages.
. Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle when:
. The sensors are blocked.
. The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
been disabled.
. There is a fault in the system.

. The radar falsely reports blockage when
driving in a desert or remote area with
no other vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate
that ACC is temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC
is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” in this section.
Always consider driving conditions before
using either cruise control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a
detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. Touch the
Settings icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle” to display the list of

Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with Front and
Rear Park Assist (FRPA). Under certain
conditions, the Park Assist system can assist
the driver during reversing and parking
manoeuvres when the vehicle is driven at no
more than 9 km/h (6 mph). An illuminated
indicator in the Park Assist button indicates
the system is ready.
Sensors located in the bumpers measure the
distance between the vehicle and objects
using sonar technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain objects up to
1.5 m (5 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front
of your vehicle that are taller than
25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental conditions may
affect whether and how far away the Park
Assist system can detect objects. Keep the

Driving and Operating
sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in
freezing temperatures. Sensors that are not
clean may not detect objects or may cause
the system to alert when not required.
{ Warning
The Park Assist System is no substitute
for careful and attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not detect children,
pedestrians, cyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than 9 km/h
(6 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with Park Assist,
always check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before moving
forward or reversing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like display on the
cluster with bars that represent the
estimated location of a detected object and
the vehicle's distance from the object. As a
detected object gets closer, more bars light
up and change colour from yellow to amber
to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear, or the
driver's seat will pulse two times,
if equipped with Safety Alert Seat. When an
object is very close, five beeps will sound
from the front or rear (depending on the
object's location), or the driver's seat will
pulse five times. Beeps for front are higher
pitched than the rear.
217
The X button is used to turn on or off
the Park Assist, which also turns the
Reversing Warning and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) on or off at the same time.
When the system is turned off, a system off
message is shown on the display. This
message disappears after a short period
of time.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer
and when a bike rack is attached to prevent
unwanted beeps and to ensure proper
operation.

Driving and Operating
If a service message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not activate
due to a temporary condition, a system off
message is shown on the display. This can
occur under the following conditions:
. The driver has disabled the system.
. An object is currently blocking the rear
sensors (for example, bike rack, tailgate,
trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is
removed, Park Assist will return to normal
operation.
. The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your dealer for repairs.
. Other conditions, such as vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
Automatic Parking Assist (APA) with
Braking
If equipped, under certain conditions APA
with Braking can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle's front, rear
and sides to detect a parking spot, and then
automatically park the vehicle with some
driver assistance. The vehicle will
automatically manoeuvre into a detected
spot moving at or near idle speed. It does
this by automatically steering and braking
while the driver is responsible for
acceleration and changing gear as needed.
The driver must always be prepared to
apply braking or additional acceleration, as
needed. A display and audible beeps help to
guide the parking manoeuvres.
{ Warning
APA may not always detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link fences), objects
below the bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level (e.g.
large potholes), or moving objects (e.g.
pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles). Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle. APA
may not respond to changes in the
parking space, such as the movement of
an adjacent vehicle, or a person or object
entering the parking space. APA does not
detect or avoid traffic that is behind or
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
alongside the vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during the parking
manoeuvre.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press the soft-touch button
or hard switch O for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while driving
forward at no greater speed than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default, APA searches
for parallel parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle up to the sensors' range of 1.5 m
(5 ft). To search for a parking space to the
left, turn on the left indicator or, if available,
change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To switch the parking
mode between parallel and perpendicular
press and hold O while searching for a
valid parking spot or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty parking spots.
The parking spot must:
. Be sufficiently large to fit the vehicle
comfortably.
. Have an adjacent vehicle, wall, or pillar
for the system to align to.

and change gears as needed. Be prepared to
stop to avoid vehicles, pedestrians,
or objects.
After completely passing an eligible parking
spot, a beep sounds and a red stop symbol
is displayed in the driver information centre.
Generally, APA selects the nearest empty
parking spot behind the vehicle, but under
some conditions may select a space that is
further back. Slow down and bring the
vehicle to a complete stop to begin.
Follow the displayed instructions. When
instructed to drive in reverse, change to
R (Reverse) while holding the brakes. The
steering wheel will vibrate briefly as a
reminder to remove hands from the steering
wheel. After the vibration stops, check your
surroundings and release the brakes to
begin automatic parking. As the vehicle
automatically steers, and brakes into the
parking spot, check the surroundings and
continue to apply acceleration if necessary
A progress arrow displays the status of the
parking manoeuvre. Once automatic parking
is finished and the vehicle has come to a full
stop, APA will beep and display a message
indicating parking is complete. Move the
gear lever to P (Park) and apply the parking
brake

If equipped, vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) have the Reverse Warning
System and Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse), Reversing
Warning alerts of rear objects at vehicle
speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph), and
RAB may automatically brake hard at speeds
between 1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Reversing Warning System will beep
once from the rear when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat. When the system detects
a potential crash, beeps will be heard from
the rear, or five pulses will be felt on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There may
also be a brief, sharp application of the

for the short, sharp application of the
vehicle brake system to occur. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage, even
with the Reversing Warning System,
always check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before reversing.
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse), if the
system detects the vehicle is reversing too
fast to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a stop to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by a

. Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
. Clean the headlights.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, the AEB system may help avoid
or reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. AEB also includes Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA). When the system detects a
vehicle in the path ahead that is travelling
in the same direction, it can provide a boost
to braking, or automatically brake the
vehicle, to avoid a collision. This can help
avoid or lessen the severity of crashes when
driving in a forward gear. Depending on the
situation, the vehicle may automatically

Driving and Operating
brake moderately or hard. This Automatic
Emergency Braking can only engage if a
vehicle is detected. When detecting a
vehicle, the Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
vehicle ahead indicator light will be
illuminated. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0 222.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph), or on vehicles with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), above 4 km/h (2 mph).
It can detect vehicles up to approximately
60 m (197 ft).
{ Warning
AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to avoid
collisions. Do not rely on AEB to brake
the vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of
its operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
. Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
. Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with a trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Detect a vehicle when weather limits
visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow.
. Detect a vehicle ahead if it is partially
blocked by pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try to avoid a potential collision.
If this happens, AEB may engage the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a
stop. Release the EPB or firmly press the
accelerator pedal.
{ Warning
AEB may automatically brake the vehicle
suddenly in situations where it is
unexpected and undesired. It could
respond to a turning vehicle ahead,
guardrails, signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB, firmly depress
the accelerator pedal, if it is safe to
do so.
225
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the brake pedal is
applied quickly by providing a boost to
braking based on the speed of approach and
distance to a vehicle ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal and
the brake pedal should continue to be
applied as needed. IBA will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is
released.
{ Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be necessary.
You could block the flow of traffic. If this
occurs, take your foot off the brake pedal
and then apply the brakes as needed.
AEB and IBA can be disabled through vehicle
settings. To view available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings icon on the
infotainment home page. Select “Vehicle” to

The AEB system does not need service.
Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System
If equipped, the FPB system may help avoid
or reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes with nearby pedestrians and cyclists
when driving in a forward gear. FPB displays
an amber indicator, ~, when a nearby
pedestrian or cyclist is detected ahead.
When approaching a detected pedestrian or
cyclist too quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the windscreen and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver seat. FPB can
provide a boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA), and the
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system
may also respond to pedestrians and
cyclists. See Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) 0 224.
The FPB system can detect and alert to
pedestrians and cyclists in a forward gear at
speeds between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During daytime driving,
the system detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately 40 m (131 ft).
During night-time driving, system
performance is very limited.
{ Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle, unless it
detects a pedestrian or cyclist. FPB may
not detect pedestrians, including children,
or cyclists:
. When the pedestrian or cyclist is not
directly ahead, fully visible,
or standing upright, or when part of a
group.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Due to poor visibility, including
night-time conditions, mist, rain,
or snow.
. If the FPB sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice.
. If the headlights or windscreen are not

Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers to
avoid a collision with vehicles moving in the
side blind zone, or blind spot areas. When
the vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or
right side mirror display will light up if a
moving vehicle is detected in that blind
zone. If the indicator is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the same side,
the display will flash as an extra warning
not to change lanes. Since this system is
part of the Lane Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section before using this
feature.
LCA Detection Zones
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding lane change crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind zone (or
spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from behind. The
LCA warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror and will
flash if the indicator is on.
{ Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to vehicles
outside of the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. It may
not provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. Failure to use
proper care when changing lanes may
result in injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Before making a lane change, always
check mirrors, glance over your shoulder,
and use the indicators.
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from both
sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m (11 ft). The
height of the zone is approximately between
0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground.
The Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning
area starts at approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft).
Drivers are also warned of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m (230 ft)
behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in the side mirrors
when the system detects a moving vehicle
in the next lane over that is in the side

from the infotainment screen, touch Settings
> Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems.
If LCA is disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving for
the system to calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration may occur
more quickly if the vehicle is driving on a
straight motorway with traffic and roadside
objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
When the vehicle is started, both outside
mirror LCA displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is operating. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane over in
that blind zone or rapidly approaching that
zone. If the indicator is activated in the
same direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, for a stopped
vehicle, or when towing a trailer. The LCA
detection zones that extend back from the
side of the vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution while
changing lanes when towing a trailer. LCA
may alert to objects attached to the vehicle,
such as a trailer, bicycle, or object extending
out to either side of the vehicle. Attached
objects may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need service.
LCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalisation. When you disable LCA, SBZA
is also disabled. To view available settings
LCA may not always alert the driver to
vehicles in the next lane over, especially in
wet conditions or when driving on sharp
229
curves. The system does not need to be
serviced. The system may light up due to
guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other
non-moving objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not operate when the LCA sensors
in the left or right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow,
ice, or slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For
cleaning instructions, see “Washing the
Vehicle” under Exterior Care 0 315. If the DIC
still displays the system unavailable
message after cleaning both sides of the
vehicle toward the rear corners of the
vehicle, see your dealer.
If the LCA displays do not illuminate when
moving vehicles are in the side blind zone or
are rapidly approaching this zone and the
system is clean, the system may need
service. Take the vehicle to your dealer.
Traffic Sign Assistant
If equipped, traffic sign assistant recognises
designated traffic signs via the front camera
located behind the windscreen in front of
the interior rear view mirror, and displays
the detected speed limit in the Driver

Information Centre (DIC). Additionally, speed
limit information from the navigation
system map database may be used.
Caution
The system is intended to assist the
driver within a defined speed range to
discern certain traffic signs. Always pay
attention to posted speed limit signs.
Do not ignore traffic signs which are not
displayed by the system.
The system does not discern any signs
other than the conventional traffic signs
that might give or end a speed limit.
It may not detect some electronic speed
signs.
Depending on the weather conditions or
problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign
may not be recognised or a sign different
from the actual traffic sign may be
displayed.
Do not let this special feature tempt you
into taking risks when driving.
Always adapt vehicle speed to the road
conditions.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
Driver assistance systems do not relieve
the driver from full responsibility for
vehicle operation.
Traffic signs that are detected are:
. Construction Zones
. Speed Limit
. School Zone
. Constraint Signs
Display Indication
The currently detected speed limit is
displayed in the DIC until the next speed
limit or end of speed limit sign is detected.
The current valid speed limit is displayed
permanently in the lower line of the DIC or
upper left of the instrument cluster,
depending on the vehicle. If a speed sign
with an add on sign is detected, a 1
symbol is also displayed.
Alert Function
The alert function can be turned on or off
from the Traffic Sign Memory page. See
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 0 106.
Once activated, and if the Traffic Sign
Memory page is currently not displayed, a
newly detected speed limit is briefly
displayed as a pop-up alert in the DIC.
Exceeding Indicated Speed Limit
If the indicated traffic sign speed limit is
exceeded by 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, the
permanently displayed traffic sign symbol
will flash until the vehicle speed is reduced
to or below the indicated speed limit.
System Reset
The content of the traffic sign display can
be cleared in the Traffic Sign Menu from the
Traffic Sign Memory page by selecting Reset
and confirmed by pressing the thumbwheel.
The indication of multiple signs on the
display is possible. A (–) symbol in a frame
indicates there is a sign detected which
cannot be clearly identified by the system.
Upon successful reset, a (–) symbol displays
until the next traffic sign is detected or
provided by the navigation system map
data. In some cases, traffic sign memory is
cleared automatically by the system.

Navigation System Traffic Sign Detection
The currently displayed sign can either
originate from sign detection using the
camera, or from the navigation system map
data. If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will be
displayed. This may lead to detection of a
new sign, although no sign on the road may
have been passed.
Limitations
Traffic sign memory may not operate
correctly if:
. The area of the windscreen, where the
front camera is located, is not clean or is
affected by foreign objects, e.g. stickers,
window tinting, etc.
. Traffic signs are completely or partially
covered, are too low or high or difficult to
discern.
. Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or
are damaged.
. Traffic signs do not comply with the
approved traffic sign standards.
. The speed limit is displayed by certain
types of electronic speed signs.
. There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct
sunlight or shadows.
. The headlights are dirty or not correctly
aligned when driving at night.
. The navigation map data is out of date.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due
to unintentional lane departures. This
system uses a camera to detect lane
markings. The LKA can be ready to assist at
speeds between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180
km/h (112 mph). On some vehicles, the
system will instead operate above 50 km/h
(31 mph). LKA may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel if the vehicle approaches
a detected lane marking. It may also provide
a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert if the
vehicle crosses a detected lane marking. This
system is not intended to keep the vehicle
centred in the lane. LKA will not assist and
alert if the indicator is active in the direction
of lane departure, or if it detects that you
are accelerating, braking or actively steering.
LKA can be overridden by turning the
steering wheel. If the system detects you
are steering intentionally across a lane
231
marker, the LDW may not be given. Do not
expect the LDW to occur when you are
intentionally crossing a lane marker.
{ Warning
The LKA system does not continuously
steer the vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems may not:
. Provide an alert or enough steering
assist to avoid a lane departure or
crash.
. Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windscreen or
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow
or ice; if they are not in proper
condition; or if the sun shines directly
into the camera.
. Detect road edges.
. Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when approaching

Warning (Continued)
the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle.
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage, injury
or death could occur. Always keep the
windscreen, headlamps and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{ Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{ Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position while towing to make sure it is
within the same lane as the towing
vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on the
windscreen ahead of the rearview mirror to
detect lane markings. It may provide brief
steering assistance if it detects an
unintended lane departure. It may further
provide an audible alert, or the driver seat
may pulse, indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system does not
provide a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering across a lane
marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press A on the
centre console. If equipped, the indicator
light on the button illuminates when LKA is
on and turns off when LKA is disabled. In
some vehicles a long press of over
three seconds is required to turn LKA off.
When activated, A is white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready to
assist. A is green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking. A is amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by flashing
A amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not continuously steer
the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated false steering alerts.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
. Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such as when
driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings, such as
two-lane roads.

LDW unavailable message may display if the
systems are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera.
The LKA system does not need service. Clean
the outside of the windscreen behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts may occur
due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road imperfections. This
is normal system operation; the vehicle does
not need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
Fuel
Top Tier Fuel (Petrol)
GM recommends the use of TOP TIER
Detergent Gasoline to keep the engine clean,
reduce engine deposits, and maintain
optimal vehicle performance. Look for the
233
Recommended Fuel (Petrol)
Use the recommended fuel for proper
vehicle maintenance. Use unleaded petrol
with a posted octane rating of 95 RON or
higher and with ethanol up to 10% by
volume. Unleaded petrol rated at 91 RON
can be used, but acceleration and fuel
economy will be reduced, and an audible
knocking noise may be heard. If this occurs,
use petrol rated at 95 RON as soon as
possible. If heavy knocking is heard when
using unleaded petrol rated at 95 RON, the
engine needs service.
Prohibited Fuels (Petrol)
Caution
Do not use fuels with any of the
following conditions; doing so may
damage the vehicle and void its
warranty:
(Continued)

234
Driving and Operating
Caution (Continued)
. Fuel with any amount of methanol,
methylal, ferrocene and aniline. These
fuels can corrode metal fuel system
parts or damage plastic and rubber
parts.
. Fuel containing metals such as
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT), which can damage
the emissions control system and
spark plugs.
. Fuel with a posted octane rating of
less than the recommended fuel. Using
this fuel will lower fuel economy and
performance, and may decrease the
life of the emissions catalyst.
Fuel Additives (Diesel)
GM recommends the use of ACDelco Diesel
Fuel conditioner. This will help maintain
optimal engine performance. GM does not
recommend other aftermarket diesel
additives.
In the event you refuel using low-quality
diesel, GM recommends adding ACDelco Fuel
System Treatment Plus-Diesel to the
vehicle's fuel tank. ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus-Diesel can help clean engine
deposits and is available at your GM
dealership.
Fuel Additives (Petrol)
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is highly
recommended for use with your vehicle.
If your country does not have TOP TIER
Detergent Petrol, add ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus-Petrol to the vehicle's petrol
fuel tank at every oil change or 15 000 km
(9,000 mi), whichever occurs first. TOP TIER
Detergent Petrol and ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus-Petrol will help keep your
vehicle's engine fuel deposit free and
performing optimally. If you are unable to
obtain ACDelco Fuel System Treatment Plus Gasoline, consult your retailer for the
GM-approved additive available in your
country.
Fuel for Diesel Engines
The selection of a high-quality fuel is
important for maintaining optimum vehicle
performance. Diesel fuel should meet or
exceed the minimum requirements in the
most current versions of the local fuel
standards.
Do not use fuel with more than 15 ppm
sulphur. If available, use of diesel fuel with
less sulphur is highly recommended for
better emissions. In countries where 15 ppm
or lower sulphur is not available, do not use
diesel fuel with sulphur greater than 50
ppm. In these countries only, the vehicle is
already designed to accommodate this level
of sulphur.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply with
the required technical standards may lead
to engine power loss, increased wear,
or engine damage and may void your
warranty.
Some improper fuels are:
. Diesel fuel with the addition of petrol.

. Triglyceride fuels, such as raw
vegetable oil or animal fat, in any
form, including with blends of diesel
or biodiesel.
. Marine diesel fuel and fuel oils.
. Diesel-water emulsions, such as
Aquazole.
. Aftermarket diesel fuel additives,
which contain alcohol, organo-metallic
additives, or water emulsifiers.
Caution
If the vehicle is accidentally refuelled
with petrol, do not continue driving the
vehicle. Driving the vehicle will damage
the fuel system. Have the vehicle towed
to a qualified technician to have the
petrol removed from the tank and fuel
system. Refuel with Ultra Low Sulphur
Diesel fuel. It is also recommended to
have the fuel system flushed with Ultra
Low Sulphur Diesel, to ensure all petrol is
removed.
Some conditions, such as dirty fuel, may
decrease fuel filter life and a CHANGE FUEL
FILTER message may come on in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
Climate Grade Diesel Fuels
At temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), avoid
using biodiesel blends above 7% by volume.
Using such a fuel may cause fuel filter
plugging, system gelling, and freezing, which
may adversely affect vehicle starting.
Severe winter grade diesel fuel, such as 1-D
diesel fuel or Arctic grade diesel fuel, can be
used in extreme cold temperatures (below
−18 °C or 0 °F); however, doing so will
reduce power and fuel economy. Avoid
using severe winter grade fuel in warm or
hot climates. It may result in stalling, poor
starting, and damage to the fuel injection
system.
Fuels improperly blended for cold
temperature operation may result in
restricted fuel filters. The vehicle is equipped
with a fuel heating system to prevent
gelling or waxing of conventional diesel fuel
and biodiesel blends, but may not prevent
all cases.
235
In the event of severe winter conditions, the
fuel filter may become clogged by wax
naturally present in the fuel. To unclog it,
move the vehicle to a warm garage area
and allow the filter to warm up. The fuel
filter may need to be replaced. See Fuel
Filter Replacement (Diesel) 0 239.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced from
vegetable oils or animal fats that have been
chemically modified to make it compatible
with diesel fuel.
Caution
Do not use homemade biodiesel or home
test kits because the quality cannot be
verified by approved scientific methods.
Do not use raw vegetable oil or other
unmodified bio-oils, fats, or blends of
vegetable oil with diesel. They could
damage the fuel system and engine, and
damage would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

Driving and Operating
Biodiesel Blends
Fuels with a biodiesel content up to 7% by
volume may be used (e.g., named B7). Only
use biodiesel blends up to 7% by volume
that comply with your country's or region's
fuel standards.
Caution
Do not use blends containing more than
7% by volume biodiesel. Any engine, fuel
system, or exhaust after-treatment
system damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
As a renewable fuel, biodiesel provides some
environmental benefits. However, biodiesel
has unique properties and needs to be
handled differently than diesel fuel. Its use
presents additional risks and may not be
appropriate in all situations. Certain vehicle
operating modes increase these risks and
should be avoided.
Biodiesel fuel quality degrades with time
and exposure to high temperature more
quickly than Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel fuel.
More frequent refuelling provides the best
opportunity to have a supply of fresh fuel.
Storage at hot ambient temperatures will
accelerate biodiesel degradation.
Owners who use little fuel, or who have
vehicles stored for extended periods of time,
should avoid the use of biodiesel blended
fuels above 5% by volume. When vehicles
are stored for longer than one month, they
should be run out of biodiesel to below
one quarter tank, refuelled with
biodiesel-free diesel fuel, and driven several
kilometres (miles) before storage.
Cold Weather Operation (Diesel)
At temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), avoid
using biodiesel blends above 5% by volume.
Using such a fuel may cause fuel filter
plugging, system gelling, and freezing, which
may adversely affect vehicle starting.
Severe winter grade diesel fuel, such as 1-D
diesel fuel or Arctic grade diesel fuel, can be
used in extreme cold temperatures (below
-18 °C or 0 °F); however, doing so will
reduce power and fuel economy. Avoid
using severe winter grade fuel in warm or
hot climates. It may result in stalling, poor
starting, and damage to the fuel injection
system.
Fuels improperly blended for cold
temperature operation may result in
restricted fuel filters. The vehicle is equipped
with a fuel heating system to prevent
gelling or waxing of conventional diesel fuel
and biodiesel blends, but it may not prevent
all cases.
In severe winter conditions, the fuel filter

present in the fuel. To unclog it, move the
vehicle to a warm garage area and allow the
filter to warm up. The fuel filter may need
to be replaced. See Fuel Filter Replacement
(Diesel) 0 239.
Water in Fuel (Diesel)
Improper fuel tank inspection or cleaning,
or contaminated fuel from suppliers, may
cause water to be pumped into the fuel
tank along with the diesel fuel. If a WATER
IN FUEL message displays in the DIC, the
water must be drained immediately.
{ Warning
Diesel fuel containing water is still
combustible. You or others could be
burned. If the fuel needs to be drained,
keep sparks, flames, and smoking
materials away from the mixture.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
Caution
Water in the diesel fuel may corrode
internal components of the fuel system
and lead to severe damage. It may also
support fungus or bacteria growth, which
may damage the fuel system. Even with
a diesel fuel biocide, the fuel system may
still need to be cleaned. Your retailer can
advise of the appropriate solution.
If the fuel tank needs to be purged to
remove water, see your retailer or a
qualified technician. Improper purging
may damage the fuel system.

Removing Water from the Fuel Filter
To drain water:
1. Turn the engine off and apply the
parking brake.
2. Place a container under the filter drain
valve, which is on the bottom of the fuel
filter.
4. With the engine turned off, press and
hold ENGINE START/STOP without
applying the brake for five seconds to
place the vehicle in Service Mode. See
Ignition Positions 0 180. Wait
approximately five seconds, and then
press ENGINE START/STOP again to turn
it off. This operation will enhance water
flow out of the filter. The filter is drained
as soon as diesel fuel emerges from
the port.
5. Retighten the drain plug by turning it
clockwise.
6. Properly dispose of the
water-contaminated fuel.
7. Start the engine and let it run for a few
minutes. During the draining process, air
may have entered the fuel system. If the
engine stalls, the fuel system may need
to be primed. See “Fuel Priming”
following.
Fuel Priming
3. Turn the drain plug anticlockwise using a
suitable tool.
For the fuel system to work properly, there
must not be any air in the fuel lines. If air
does enter, the engine may not start and
the fuel lines will need to be primed before
operating the vehicle.
If air is present, the following may have
occurred:
. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
. The fuel filter was removed.
. The fuel lines were removed or
disconnected.
. The fuel filter water drain valve was
opened while the engine was running.
To prime the fuel lines:
1. With the engine turned off, press and
hold ENGINE START/STOP without
applying the brake for five seconds to
place the vehicle in Service Mode. See
Ignition Positions 0 180. Wait
approximately five seconds and press
ENGINE START/STOP again to turn it off.
Perform this step three times or more
while the engine is turned off.
2. Press and hold ENGINE START/STOP while
applying the brake for a maximum of
40 seconds at a time, with five seconds
between attempts, until the engine
starts. If the engine tries to run, but
does not run smoothly, increase the
engine revolutions slightly by using the
accelerator pedal. This will help force air
through the system.

Trailer Towing
General Towing Information
Only use towing equipment that has been
designed for the vehicle. Contact your
retailer or trailer retailer for assistance with
preparing the vehicle to tow a trailer. Read
the entire section before towing a trailer.
To tow a disabled vehicle, see Transporting
a Disabled Vehicle 0 313.
Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips
{ Warning
You can lose control when towing a
trailer if the correct equipment is not
used or the vehicle is not driven properly.
For example, if the trailer is too heavy or
the trailer brakes are inadequate for the
load, the vehicle may not stop as
expected. You and others could be
seriously injured. The vehicle may also be
damaged, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Pull a
trailer only if all the steps in this section

have been followed. Ask your dealer for
advice and information about towing a
trailer with the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just driving the
vehicle by itself. Trailer towing means
changes in handling, acceleration, braking,
durability, and fuel economy. Successful,
safe trailering takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are important
for your safety and that of your passengers.
Read this section carefully before pulling a
trailer.
When towing a trailer:
. Become familiar with and follow all state
and local laws that apply to trailer
towing. These requirements vary from
state to state.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22

extended side view mirrors. If your
visibility is limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side view mirrors,
even if not required.
Do not tow a trailer during the first
800 km (500 mi) of vehicle use to
prevent damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
GM recommends performing an oil
change to the vehicle before heavy
towing.
Do not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of trailer
towing.
Vehicles can tow in D (Drive). If the
transmission downshifts too often, a
lower gear may be selected using Manual
Mode. See Manual Mode 0 194.
If equipped, the following driver assistance
features should be turned off when towing
a trailer:
. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
. Super Cruise Control
. Park Assist
. Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
. Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
If equipped, the following driver assistance
features should be turned to alert or off
when towing a trailer:
. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
. Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
. Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
If equipped with Lane Change Alert (LCA),
the LCA detection zones that extend back
from the side of the vehicle do not move
further back when a trailer is towed. Use
caution while changing lanes when towing a
trailer.
If equipped with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA), exercise caution while reversing
when towing a trailer, as the RCTA detection
zones that extend out from the back of the
vehicle do not move further back when a
trailer is towed.
{ Warning
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide (CO) when towing a
trailer:
. Do not drive with the tailgate, boot/
hatch, or rear-most window open.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Fully open the air outlets on or under
the instrument panel.
. Adjust the climate control system to a
setting that only allows in outside air.
See “Climate Control Systems” in the
Index.
For more information about carbon
monoxide, see Engine Exhaust 0 186.
Towing a trailer requires experience. The
combination of the vehicle and trailer is
longer and not as responsive as the vehicle
itself. Become familiar to the handling and
braking by driving on a level road surface
before driving on public roads.
The trailer structure, the tyres, and the
brakes must all be rated to carry the
intended load. Inadequate trailer equipment
can cause the combination to operate in an
unexpected or unsafe manner. Before
driving, inspect all trailer hitch parts and
attachments, safety chains, electrical
connectors, lamps, tyres, and mirrors. See
Towing Equipment 0 249. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start the combination
moving and then manually apply the trailer
brake controller to check that the trailer
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Driving and Operating
brakes work. During the trip, occasionally
check that the load and trailer are secure
and that the lamps and any trailer brakes
are working.
Towing with a Stability Control System
When towing, the stability control system
might be heard. The system reacts to
vehicle movement caused by the trailer,
which mainly occurs during cornering. This is
normal when towing heavier trailers.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle
ahead as you would when driving without a
trailer. This can help to avoid heavy braking
and sudden turns.
Overtaking
More overtaking distance is needed when
towing a trailer. The combination of the
vehicle and trailer will not accelerate as
quickly and is much longer than the vehicle
alone. You need to drive much farther
beyond the overtaken vehicle before turning
back into the lane. Overtaking on level
roadways. Avoid overtaking on hills if
possible.
Reversing
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with
one hand. To move the trailer to the left,
move that hand to the left. To move the
trailer to the right, move that hand to the
right. Always reverse slowly and, if possible,
have someone guide you.
Making Turns
Caution
Turn more slowly and make wider arcs
when towing a trailer to prevent damage
to your vehicle. Making very sharp turns
could cause the trailer to make contact
with the vehicle.
Make wider turns than normal when towing,
so the trailer does not go over soft
shoulders, over kerbs, or collide with road
signs, trees, or other objects. Always
indicate turns well in advance. Do not steer
or brake suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed and change to a lower gear
before starting down a long or steep
downhill grade. If the transmission is not
shifted down, the brakes may overheat and
result in reduced braking efficiency.
245
The vehicle can tow in D (Drive). Shift the
transmission to a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often under heavy
loads and/or hilly conditions.
When towing at higher altitudes, engine
coolant will boil at a lower temperature
than at lower altitudes. If the engine is
turned off immediately after towing at high
altitude on steep uphill grades, the vehicle
could show signs similar to engine
overheating. To avoid this, let the engine
run, preferably on level ground, with the
transmission in P (Park) for a few minutes
before turning the engine off. If the
overheat warning comes on, see Engine
Overheating 0 268.
Parking on Hills
{ Warning
To prevent serious injury or death,
always park your vehicle and trailer on a
level surface when possible.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
246
Driving and Operating
When parking your vehicle and your trailer
on a hill:
1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift
into P (Park) yet. Turn the wheels into
the curb if facing downhill or into traffic
if facing uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the
trailer wheels.
3. When the wheel chocks are in place,
gradually release the brake pedal to
allow the chocks to absorb the load of
the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the
parking brake and shift into P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on a Hill
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
. Start the engine.
. Shift into the desired gear.
. Release the parking brake.
2. Release the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of
the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and
store the chocks.
Maintenance When Trailer Towing
The vehicle needs to be serviced more often
when used to tow trailers. See Maintenance
Schedule (Petrol) 0 324 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel) 0 326. It is
especially important to check the automatic
gearbox fluid, engine oil, axle lubricant,
belts, cooling system, and brake system
before and during each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts and bolts on
the trailer hitch are tight.
Engine Cooling When Trailer Towing
The cooling system may temporarily
overheat during severe operating conditions.
See Engine Overheating 0 268.

Trailer Weight Ratings
When towing a trailer, the combined weight
of the vehicle, vehicle contents, trailer, and
trailer contents must be below all of the
maximum weight ratings for the vehicle
including:
. Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
. Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
. Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear (GAWR-RR)
. Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
See “Weight-Distributing Hitch Adjustment”
under Towing Equipment 0 249 to
determine if equalizer bars are required to
obtain the maximum trailer weight rating.
See “Trailer Brakes” under Towing
Equipment 0 249 to determine if brakes are
required based on the trailer weight.
The only way to be sure that the weight
does not exceed any of these ratings is to
weigh the towing vehicle and trailer
combination, fully loaded for the trip,
getting individual weights for each of these
items.
{ Warning
You and others could be seriously injured
or killed if the trailer is too heavy or the
trailer brakes are inadequate for the load.
The vehicle may be damaged, and the
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the steps in this
section have been followed. Ask your
retailer for advice and information about
towing a trailer.
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
GCWR is the total allowable weight of the
completely loaded vehicle and trailer
including any fuel, passengers, cargo,
equipment, and accessories. Do not exceed
the GCWR for your vehicle. The GCWR for
the vehicle is in the following Tow Rating
Chart.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
For information about the vehicle's
maximum load capacity, see Vehicle Load
Limits 0 176. When calculating the GVWR
with a trailer attached, the trailer tongue
weight must be included as part of the
weight the vehicle is carrying.
247
Maximum Trailer Weight
The maximum trailer weight rating is
calculated assuming the towing vehicle has
a driver, a front seat passenger, and all
required trailer towing equipment. This
value represents the heaviest trailer the
vehicle can tow, but it may be necessary to
reduce the trailer weight to stay within the
GCW, GVWR, maximum trailer tongue load,
or GAWR-RR for the vehicle.
Use the tow rating chart to determine how
much the trailer can weigh, based on the
vehicle model and options.

allowable trailer weight.
Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
The Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
is the allowable trailer tongue weight that
the vehicle can support using a conventional
trailer hitch. It may be necessary to reduce
the overall trailer weight to stay within the
maximum trailer tongue weight rating while
still maintaining the correct trailer load
balance.
Trailer Load Balance
The correct trailer load balance must be
maintained to ensure trailer stability.
Incorrect load balance is a leading cause of
trailer sway.
The trailer tongue weight contributes to the
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). GVW includes
the kerb weight of your vehicle, any
passengers, cargo, equipment and the trailer
tongue weight. Vehicle options, passengers,
cargo, and equipment reduce the maximum

weight is too high or too low, it may be
possible to rearrange some of the cargo
inside the trailer.
Do not exceed the maximum allowable
tongue weight for your vehicle. Use the
shortest hitch extension available to position
the hitch ball closer to your vehicle. This will
help reduce the effect of the trailer tongue
weight on the trailer hitch and the rear axle.
The trailer tongue weight (1) should be 4%
of the total loaded trailer weight (2). Some
specific trailer types, such as boat trailers,
fall outside of this range. Always refer to
the trailer owner's manual for the
recommended trailer tongue weight for each
trailer. Never exceed the maximum loads for
your vehicle, hitch and trailer.
The trailer load balance percentage is
calculated as: weight (1) divided by
weight (2) times 100.
After loading the trailer, separately weigh
the trailer and then the trailer tongue to see
if the weights are appropriate for your
vehicle. If the trailer weight is too high, it
may be possible to transfer some of the
cargo into your vehicle. If the trailer tongue
If a cargo carrier is used in the trailer hitch
receiver, choose a carrier that positions the
load as close to the vehicle as possible.
Make sure the total weight, including the
carrier, is no more than half of the
maximum allowable tongue weight for the
vehicle or 227 kg (500 lb), whichever is less.
For additional assistance with towing or
additional information, see your retailer.

weight limits with various hitch types.
Consider using mechanical sway controls
with any trailer. Ask a trailering professional
about sway controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not attach to
the bumper.

anti-lock brakes and the trailer brakes may
not function, which could result in a
collision.
Cross the safety chains under the tongue of
the trailer to help prevent the tongue from
contacting the road if it becomes separated
from the hitch. Always leave just enough
slack so the combination can turn. Never
allow safety chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer Wiring Harness
Trailer Brakes
Loaded trailers over 450 kg (1,000 lb) must
be equipped with brake systems and with
brakes for each axle. Trailer braking
equipment conforming to Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) requirement
CAN3-D313, or its equivalent, is
recommended.
Regional or local regulations may require
trailers to have their own braking system if
the loaded weight of the trailer exceeds
certain minimums that can vary from region
to region. Read and follow the instructions
for the trailer brakes so they are installed,
adjusted, and maintained properly. Never
attempt to tap into your vehicle's hydraulic
brake system. If you do, both the vehicle
Basic Trailer Wiring
The trailer wiring harness is located at the
rear of the vehicle and is tied to the
vehicle's frame. The harness connector can
be plugged into a trailer connector available
through your retailer.
The swivel-style factory installed hitch has a
standard 13-pin connector integrated into the
ball neck that is accessible when the hitch
cover is removed and the hitch is deployed.
Trailer Lamps
Always check that all trailer lamps are
working at the beginning of each trip, and
periodically on longer trips.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When properly connected, the trailer
indicators will illuminate to indicate the
vehicle is turning, changing lanes,
or stopping. When towing a trailer, the
arrows on the instrument cluster will
illuminate even if the trailer is not properly
connected or the bulbs are burned out.

Driving and Operating
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) have a Trailer Sway Control
(TSC) feature. Trailer sway is unintended
side-to-side motion of a trailer while towing.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is increasing, the vehicle
brakes are selectively applied at each wheel,
to help reduce excessive trailer sway.
If equipped with the Integrated Trailer Brake
Control (ITBC) system, and the trailer has an
electric brake system, StabiliTrak/ESC may
also apply the trailer brakes.
{ Warning
Trailer sway can result in a crash and in
serious injury or death, even if the
vehicle is equipped with TSC.
If the trailer begins to sway, reduce
vehicle speed by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator. Then pull over
to check the trailer and vehicle to help
correct possible causes, including an
improperly or overloaded trailer,
unsecured load, improper trailer hitch
configuration, or improperly inflated or
incorrect vehicle or trailer tyres. See
Towing Equipment 0 249 for trailer
ratings and hitch setup recommendations.
Trailer Tyres
If TSC is enabled, the Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak/ESC warning light
will flash on the instrument cluster. Reduce
vehicle speed by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator. If trailer sway
continues, StabiliTrak/ESC can reduce engine
torque to help slow the vehicle. TSC will not
function if StabiliTrak/ESC is turned off. See
Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control
0 198.
Special Trailer (ST) tyres differ from vehicle
tyres. Trailer tyres are designed with stiff
sidewalls to help prevent sway and to
support heavy loads. These features can
make it difficult to determine if the trailer
tyre pressures are low only based on a
visual inspection.
Always check all trailer tyre pressures before
each trip when the tyres are cool. Low
trailer tyre pressure is a leading cause of
trailer tyre blowouts.
Trailer tyres deteriorate over time. The
trailer tyre sidewall will show the week and
year the tyre was manufactured. Many
trailer tyre manufacturers recommend
replacing tyres more than six years old.
Overloading is another leading cause of
trailer tyre blowouts. Never load your trailer
with more weight than the tyres are
designed to support. The load rating is
located on the trailer tyre sidewall.
Always know the maximum speed rating for
the trailer tyres before driving. This may be
significantly lower than the vehicle tyre
speed rating. The speed rating may be on
the trailer tyre sidewall. If the speed rating
is not shown, the default trailer tyre speed
rating is 105 km/h (65 mph).

Engine Oil
To ensure proper engine performance and
long life, careful attention must be paid to
engine oil. Following these simple, but
important steps will help protect your
investment:
. Use engine oil approved to the proper
specification and of the proper viscosity
grade. See “Selecting the Right Engine
Oil” in this section.
. Check the engine oil level regularly and
maintain the proper oil level. See
“Checking Engine Oil” and “When to Add
Engine Oil” in this section.
. Change the engine oil at the appropriate
time. See Engine Oil Life System 0 262.
. Always dispose of engine oil properly. See
“What to Do with Used Oil” in this
section.
Checking Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level regularly, every
650 km (400 mi), especially prior to a long
trip. The engine oil dipstick handle is a loop.
See Engine Compartment Overview 0 257 for
the location.
{ Warning
When to Add Engine Oil
The engine oil dipstick handle may be
hot; it could burn you. Use a towel or
glove to touch the dipstick handle.
If a low oil Driver Information Centre (DIC)
message displays, check the oil level.
Follow these guidelines:
. To get an accurate reading, park the
vehicle on level ground. Check the engine
oil level after the engine has been off for
at least two hours. Checking the engine
oil level on steep gradients or too soon
after engine shutoff can result in incorrect
readings. Accuracy improves when
checking a cold engine prior to starting.
Remove the dipstick and check the level.
. If unable to wait two hours, the engine
must be off for at least 15 minutes if the
engine is warm, or at least 30 minutes if
the engine is not warm. Pull out the
dipstick, wipe it with a clean paper towel
or cloth, then push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the tip down,
and check the level.
LSY 2.0L L4 Turbo Engine
LSQ 2.0L L4 Turbo Diesel Engine
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
the tip of the dipstick and the engine has
been off for at least 15 minutes, add 1 L (1
qt) of the recommended oil and then
recheck the level. See “Selecting the Right
Engine Oil” later in this section for an
explanation of what kind of oil to use. For
engine oil crankcase capacity, see Capacities
and Specifications 0 335.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
Caution
Specification
Do not add too much oil. Oil levels above
or below the acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful to the
engine. If the oil level is above the
operating range (i.e. the engine has so
much oil that the oil level rises above the
cross-hatched area that shows the correct
operating range), the engine could be
damaged. Drain the excess oil or limit
driving the vehicle, and seek help from a
service professional to remove the
excess oil.
Use fully synthetic engine oils that meet the
dexos1 specification.
See Engine Compartment Overview 0 257 for
the location of the engine oil fill cap.
Caution
Add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range. Push the
dipstick all the way back in when done.
Selecting the Right Engine Oil (Petrol
Engine)
Selecting the right engine oil depends on
both the proper oil specification and
viscosity grade. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants 0 330.
Engine oils that have been approved by GM
as meeting the dexos1 specification are
marked with the dexos1 approved logo. See
www.gmdexos.com.
Selecting the Right Engine Oil (Diesel
Engine)
Selecting the right engine oil depends on
both the proper oil specification and
viscosity grade:
Specification
Use engine oils that meet the dexosD
specification. Engine oils that have been
approved by GM as meeting the dexosD
specification are marked with the dexosD
approved logo. See www.gmdexos.com.
Failure to use the recommended engine
oil or equivalent can result in engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Viscosity Grade
Use SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade engine oil.
When selecting an oil of the appropriate
viscosity grade, it is recommended to select
an oil of the correct specification. See
“Specification” earlier in this section.

Engine Oil Additives/Engine Oil Flushes
Engine Oil Life System
Do not add anything to the oil. The
recommended oils meeting the dexos
specification are all that is needed for good
performance and engine protection.
When to Change Engine Oil
Change engine oil and filter when indicated
by the Engine Oil Life System, or at 30
000 km (18,640 mi), or after one year,
whichever comes first. (15 000 km
(9,320 mi) or after 6 months in severe
driving conditions). When the CHANGE

the engine oil and filter changed within the
next 1 000 km (600 mi). The system must
be reset. Your dealer has trained service
people who will perform this work and reset
the system. It is also important to check the
oil regularly over the course of an oil drain
interval and keep it at the proper level.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause engine
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements
that can be unhealthy for your skin and
could even cause cancer. Do not let used oil
stay on your skin for very long. Clean your
skin and nails with soap and water, or a
good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used
engine oil. See the manufacturer's warnings
about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment.
If you change your own oil, be sure to drain
all the oil from the filter before disposal.
Never dispose of oil by putting it in the
This vehicle has a computer system that
indicates when to change the engine oil and

when this warning appears, get service help
right away.
If the decision is made to lift the bonnet,
make sure the vehicle is parked on a level
surface. Then check to see if the engine
cooling fan is running. If the engine is
overheating, the fan should be running. If it
is not, do not continue to run the engine.
Have the vehicle serviced.
Caution
Do not run the engine if there is a leak
in the engine cooling system. This can
cause a loss of all coolant and can
damage the system and vehicle. Have
any leaks fixed right away.
If Steam Is Coming from the Engine
Compartment
{ Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a hot
cooling system are under pressure.
Turning the pressure cap, even a little,

the pressure cap itself, is hot. Wait for
the cooling system and pressure cap
to cool.
If No Steam Is Coming from the Engine
Compartment
If an engine overheat warning is displayed
but no steam can be seen or heard, the
problem may not be too serious. Sometimes
the engine can get a little too hot when the
vehicle:
. Climbs a long hill on a hot day.
. Stops after high-speed driving.
. Idles for long periods in traffic.
If the overheat warning is displayed with no
sign of steam:
1. Turn the air conditioning off.
2. Turn the heater on to the highest
temperature and to the highest fan
speed. Open the windows as necessary.
3. When it is safe to do so, pull off the
road, shift to P (Park) or N (Neutral), and
let the engine idle.
If the engine coolant temperature gauge is

Brakes
Disc brake linings have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake linings are worn and
new linings are needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the time when
the vehicle is moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly.
{ Warning
The brake wear warning sound means
that soon the brakes will not work well.
That could lead to a crash. When the
brake wear warning sound is heard, have
the vehicle serviced.

Vehicle Care
Caution
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake
linings could result in expensive brake
repairs.
Some driving conditions or climates can
cause brake squeal when the brakes are first
applied, which clears up following several
brake applications. This does not mean
something is wrong with the brakes.
Replacing Brake System Parts
Always replace brake system parts with
new, approved replacement parts. If this is
not done, the brakes may not work
properly. The braking performance can
change in many ways if the wrong brake
parts are installed or if parts are improperly
installed.
Brake Fluid
Properly torqued wheel nuts are necessary
to help prevent brake pulsation. When tyres
are rotated, inspect the brake linings for
wear and evenly tighten wheel nuts in the
correct sequence to torque specifications.
See Capacities and Specifications 0 335.
Brake pads should be replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not
return to normal height, or if there is a
rapid increase in pedal travel. This could be
a sign that brake service may be required.
The brake master cylinder reservoir is filled
with GM approved DOT 4 brake fluid as
indicated on the reservoir cap. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0 257 for the
location of the reservoir.
Checking Brake Fluid
With the vehicle in P (Park) on a level
surface, the brake fluid level should be
between the minimum and maximum marks
on the brake fluid reservoir.
There are only two reasons why the brake
fluid level in the reservoir may go down:
. Normal brake lining wear. When new
linings are installed, the fluid level goes
back up.
. A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic system.
Have the brake hydraulic system fixed.
With a leak, the brakes will not
work well.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap
and the area around the cap before
removing it.
Do not top off the brake fluid. Adding fluid
does not correct a leak. If fluid is added
when the linings are worn, there will be too
much fluid when new brake linings are
installed. Add or remove fluid, as necessary,
only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system.
{ Warning
If too much brake fluid is added, it can
spill on the engine and burn, if the
engine is hot enough. You or others could
be burned, and the vehicle could be
damaged. Add brake fluid only when
work is done on the brake hydraulic
system.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
When the brake fluid falls to a low level,
the brake warning light comes on. See Brake
System Warning Light 0 98.
Brake fluid absorbs water over time which
degrades the effectiveness of the brake fluid.
Replace brake fluid at the specified intervals
to prevent increased stopping distance. See
Maintenance Schedule (Petrol) 0 324 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel) 0 326.
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 4 brake fluid
from a clean, sealed container. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 330.
{ Warning
The wrong or contaminated brake fluid
could result in damage to the brake
system. This could result in the loss of
braking leading to a possible injury.
Always use the proper GM approved
brake fluid.

Vehicle Care
2. Access the lamp through the opening in
the underbody.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector from
the bulb assembly.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the current load
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect power
devices in the vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse
needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
4. Turn the bulb socket anticlockwise and
pull the bulb straight out of the socket.
5. Replace the bulb and reverse Steps 1–4 to
reinstall.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and
rating.
Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to
protect against an electrical system
overload.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Locate the fuse puller in the engine
compartment fuse block.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
4. If the fuse must be replaced
immediately, borrow a replacement fuse
with the same amperage from the fuse
block. Choose a vehicle feature that is
not needed to safely operate the vehicle.
Repeat Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the
empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to
replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the lamps go on and
off or remain off.
Windscreen Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the windscreen wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
3. Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse
from the top or side, as shown above.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy
snow or ice may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windscreen before using the
windscreen wipers.
277
If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get
it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
{ Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked
with their ampere rating. Do not exceed
the specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use
of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can
result in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or killed.

278
Vehicle Care
The vehicle may not be equipped with all of
the fuses, relays, and features shown.
{ Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM's original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
See Accessories and Modifications 0 255 and
General Information 0 255.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see
Electrical System Overload 0 276.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The under bonnet fuse block is in the engine
compartment, on the driver side of the
vehicle.
Caution
Do not pull the engine compartment fuse
block lever, since it is intended only for
service purposes. If pulled, vehicle
malfunction may occur.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may damage
it. Always keep the covers on any
electrical component.
To remove the fuse block cover, press the
clips on the cover and lift it straight up.

Wheels and Tyres
Tyres
Every new GM vehicle has high-quality
tyres made by a leading tyre
manufacturer. See the warranty manual
for information regarding the tyre
warranty and where to get service. For
additional information refer to the tyre
manufacturer.
.
{ Warning
Poorly maintained and improperly
used tyres are dangerous.

.
.
.
Warning (Continued)
Overloading the tyres can cause
overheating as a result of too
much flexing. There could be a
blowout and a serious crash. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
Underinflated tyres pose the same
danger as overloaded tyres. The
resulting crash could cause serious
injury. Check all tyres frequently
to maintain the recommended
pressure. Tyre pressure should be
checked when the tyres are cold.
Overinflated tyres are more likely
to be cut, punctured, or broken by
a sudden impact - such as when
hitting a pothole. Keep tyres at
the recommended pressure.
Worn or old tyres can cause a
crash. If the tread is badly worn,
replace them.
Replace any tyres that have been
damaged by impacts with
potholes, curbs, etc.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Improperly repaired tyres can
cause a crash. Only your dealer or
an authorised tyre service centre
should repair, replace, remove, and
reinstall the tyres.
. Do not spin the tyres in excess of
56 km/h (35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow, mud, ice,
etc. Excessive spinning may cause
the tyres to explode.
See Tyre Pressure for High-Speed
Operation 0 289 for inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed driving.
Winter Tyres
This vehicle was not originally equipped
with winter tyres. Winter tyres are designed
for increased traction on snow and
ice-covered roads. Consider installing winter
tyres on the vehicle if frequent driving on
ice or snow covered roads is expected. See
your dealer for details regarding winter tyre
availability and proper tyre selection. Also,
see Buying New Tyres 0 296.
287
With winter tyres, there may be decreased
dry road traction, increased road noise and
shorter tread life. After changing to winter
tyres, be alert for changes in the vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tyres:
. Use tyres of the same brand and tread
type on all four wheel positions.
. Use only radial ply tyres of the same size,
load range and speed rating as the
original equipment tyres.
Winter tyres with the same speed rating as
the original equipment tyres may not be
available for H, V, W, Y and ZR speed rated
tyres. If winter tyres with a lower speed
rating are chosen, never exceed the tyre's
maximum speed capability.
Summer Tyres
This vehicle may come with 235/55R18 or
245/45R20 high performance summer tyres.
These tyres have a special tread and
compound that are optimised for maximum
dry and wet road performance. This special
tread and compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates, and on ice and
snow. It is recommended that winter tyres
be installed on the vehicle if frequent
driving at temperatures below
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
288
Vehicle Care
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow
covered roads is expected. See Winter Tyres
0 287.
Caution
High performance summer tires have
rubber compounds that lose flexibility
and may develop surface cracks in the
tread area at temperatures below -7 °C
(20 °F). Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above -7 °C (20 °F) when
not in use. If the tires have been
subjected to -7 °C (20 °F) or less, let them
warm up in a heated space to at least 5 °
C (40 °F) for 24 hours or more before
being installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not apply
heat or blow heated air directly on the
tyres. Always inspect tyres before use.
See Tyre Inspection 0 294.
Tyre Pressure
Tyres need the correct amount of air
pressure to operate effectively.
{ Warning
Neither tyre underinflation nor
overinflation is good. Underinflated
tyres, or tyres that do not have
enough air, can result in:
. Tyre overloading and overheating,
which could lead to a blowout
. Premature or irregular wear
. Poor handling
. Reduced fuel economy for
internal combustion engine
vehicles
. Reduced range for electric vehicles
Overinflated tyres, or tyres that have
too much air, can result in:
. Unusual wear
. Poor handling
. Rough ride
. Needless damage from road
hazards
The Tyre and Loading Information label
on the vehicle indicates the original
equipment tyres and the correct cold
tyre inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the minimum
air pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
How the vehicle is loaded affects
vehicle handling and ride comfort.
Never load the vehicle with more
weight than it was designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the pressure of the tyres once a
month or more. Do not forget the
spare, if the vehicle has one. The
compact spare cold tyre pressure should
be at 420 kPa (60 psi). See Compact
Spare Tyre 0 310.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gauge
to check tyre pressure. Proper tyre
inflation cannot be determined by
looking at the tyre. Check the tyre
inflation pressure when the tyres are
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
cold, meaning the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours or no
more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the tyre
valve stem. Press the tyre gauge firmly
onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tyre inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tyre and Loading
Information label, no further adjustment
is necessary. If the inflation pressure is
low, add air until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the inflation
pressure is high, press on the metal
stem in the centre of the tyre valve to
release air.
Recheck the tyre pressure with the tyre
gauge.
Refit the valve caps on the valve stems
to keep out dirt and moisture. Use only
valve caps designed for the vehicle by
GM. TPMS sensors could be damaged
and would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Tyre Pressure for High-Speed
Operation
{ Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts additional
strain on tyres. Sustained high-speed
driving causes excessive heat build-up and
can cause sudden tyre failure. This could
cause a crash, and you or others could be
killed. Some high-speed rated tyres
require inflation pressure adjustment for
high-speed operation. When speed limits
and road conditions allow the vehicle to
be driven at high speeds, make sure the
tyres are rated for high-speed operation,
are in excellent condition, and are set to
the correct cold tyre inflation pressure for
the vehicle load.
Vehicles with tyre sizes listed in the High
Speed Operation Inflation Pressures table
require inflation pressure adjustment when
driving the vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher. Set the cold tyre
inflation pressure to the corresponding value
in the table for the tyre size on the vehicle.

Tyre Pressure Monitor System
Caution
Modifications made to the Tyre Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS) by anyone other
than an authorised service facility may
void authorisation to use the system.
The Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses radio and sensor technology to check
tyre pressure levels. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in your vehicle's
tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tyre
inflation pressure for those tyres.)
failure. Under-inflation also reduces energy
efficiency and tyre tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a
low tyre pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger

Vehicle Care
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tyres
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.

for additional information.
See Declaration of Conformity 0 338.
Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
This vehicle may have a Tyre Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is
designed to warn the driver when a low
tyre pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors
are mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre and
wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in the tyres and transmit
the tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
291
is driven. This could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper pressure.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, the TPMS illuminates the low tyre
pressure warning light on the instrument
cluster. If the warning light comes on, stop
as soon as possible and inflate the tyres to
the recommended pressure shown on the
Tyre and Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
A message to check the pressure in a
specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low tyre
pressure warning light and the DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle
until the tyres are inflated to the correct
inflation pressure. Using the DIC, tyre
pressure levels can be viewed. For additional
information and details about the DIC
operation and displays see Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 0 106.
The low tyre pressure warning light may
come on in cool weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off as the vehicle
A Tyre and Loading Information label,
attached to your vehicle, shows the size of
the original equipment tyres and the correct
inflation pressure for the tyres when they
are cold. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 176 for
an example of the Tyre and Loading
Information label and its location. Also see
Tyre Pressure 0 288.
The TPMS can warn about a low tyre
pressure condition but it does not replace
normal tyre maintenance. See Tyre
Inspection 0 294, Tyre Rotation 0 294, and
Tyres 0 286.
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all the
same. A non-approved tyre sealant could
damage the TPMS sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant is not covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only the GM
approved tyre sealant available through
your dealer or included in the vehicle.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
292
Vehicle Care
Factory-installed Tyre Inflater Kits use a
GM-approved liquid tyre sealant. Using
non-approved tyre sealants could damage
the TPMS sensors. See Tyre Sealant and
Compressor Kit 0 300 for information
regarding the inflator kit materials and
instructions.
TPMS Malfunction Light and Message
The TPMS will not function properly if one
or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or
inoperable. When the system detects a
malfunction, the low tyre pressure warning
light flashes for about one minute and then
stays on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. A DIC warning message also displays.
The malfunction light and DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle
until the problem is corrected. Some of the
conditions that can cause these to come
on are:
. One of the road tyres has been replaced
with the spare tyre. The spare tyre does
not have a TPMS sensor. The malfunction
light and DIC message should go off after
the road tyre is replaced and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See “TPMS Sensor Matching
Process” following.
. The TPMS sensor matching process was
not done or not completed successfully
after rotating the tyres. The malfunction
light and the DIC message should go off
after successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS Sensor
Matching Process" following.
. One or more TPMS sensors are missing or
damaged. The malfunction light and the
DIC message should go off when the
TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for service.
. Replacement tyres or wheels do not
match the original equipment tyres or
wheels. Tyres and wheels other than
those recommended could prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. See
Buying New Tyres 0 296.
. Operating electronic devices or being near
facilities using radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it
cannot detect or signal a low tyre pressure
condition. See your dealer for service if the
TPMS malfunction light and DIC message
come on and stay on.
Tyre Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and audible
alerts outside the vehicle to help when
inflating an underinflated tyre to the
recommended cold tyre pressure.
When the low tyre pressure warning light
comes on:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tyre that is underinflated.
The indicator lamp will flash.
When the recommended pressure is
reached, the horn sounds once and the
indicator lamp will stop flashing and
briefly turn solid.
Repeat these steps for all underinflated
tyres that have illuminated the low tyre
pressure warning light.
{ Warning
Overinflating a tyre could cause the tyre
to rupture and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the maximum
pressure listed on the tyre sidewall.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
If the tyre is overinflated by more than
35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound multiple
times and the indicator lamp will continue
to flash for several seconds after filling
stops. To release and correct the pressure,
while the indicator lamp is still flashing,
briefly press the centre of the valve stem.
When the recommended pressure is reached,
the horn sounds once.
If the indicator lamp does not flash within
15 seconds after starting to inflate the tyre,
the tyre fill alert has not been activated or
is not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on, the
tyre fill alert visual feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the tyre fill alert
properly under the following conditions:
. There is interference from an external
device or transmitter.
. The air pressure from the inflation device
is not sufficient to inflate the tyre.
. There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
. There is a malfunction in the horn or
indicator lamps.
. The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the system.
. The battery of the TPMS sensor is low.
If the tyre fill alert does not operate due to
TPMS interference, move the vehicle about
1 m (3 ft) back or forward and try again.
If the tyre fill alert feature is not working,
use a tyre pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification code
needs to be matched to a new tyre/wheel
position after rotating the vehicle's tyres or
replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors.
The TPMS sensor matching process should
also be performed after replacing a spare
tyre with a road tyre containing the TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off at the next ignition
cycle. The sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS relearn tool,
in the following order: driver side front tyre,
passenger side front tyre, passenger side
rear tyre, and driver side rear tyre. See your
dealer for service or to purchase a
relearn tool.
You have two minutes to match the first
tyre/wheel position, and five minutes overall
to match all four tyre/wheel positions. If it
takes longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
293
The TPMS sensor matching process is
outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle in Service Mode. See
Ignition Positions 0 180.
3. Make sure the Tyre Pressure info display
option is turned on. The info displays on
the DIC can be turned on and off
through the Options menu. See Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 0 106.
4. Use the DIC controls on the right-hand
side of the steering wheel to scroll to
the Tyre Pressure screen under the DIC
info page.
5. Press and hold the thumbwheel located
in the centre of the DIC controls on the
right-hand side of the steering wheel.
The horn sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode and the TYRE
LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on
the DIC screen.
6. Start with the driver side front tyre.
7. Place the relearn tool against the tyre
sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press
the button to activate the TPMS sensor.
A horn chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been matched to
this tyre and wheel position.

Vehicle Care
8. Proceed to the passenger side front tyre,
and repeat the procedure in Step 7.
9. Proceed to the passenger side rear tyre,
and repeat the procedure in Step 7.
10. Proceed to the driver side rear tyre, and
repeat the procedure in Step 7. The horn
sounds two times to indicate the sensor
identification code has been matched to
the driver side rear tyre, and the TPMS
sensor matching process is no longer
active. The TYRE LEARNING ACTIVE
message on the DIC display screen
goes off.
11. Turn the vehicle off.
12. Set all four tyres to the recommended
air pressure level as indicated on the
Tyre and Loading Information label.
Tyre Inspection
We recommend that the tyres,
including the spare tyre, if the vehicle
has one, be inspected for signs of wear
or damage at least once a month.
Replace the tyre if:
. The indicators at three or more
places around the tyre can be seen.
There is cord or fabric showing
through the tyre's rubber.
. The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
. The tyre has a bump, bulge, or split.
. The tyre has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that cannot be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.
.
See When It Is Time for New Tyres
0 295 and
Wheel Replacement 0 297.
Tyre Rotation
Tyres should be rotated according to
the interval specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See Maintenance
Schedule (Petrol) 0 324 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel) 0 326.
Tyres are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tyres. The first
rotation is the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate
the tyres as soon as possible, check for
proper tyre inflation pressure, and check
for damaged tyres or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel alignment.
Use this rotation pattern when rotating
the tyres.
Do not include the compact spare tyre
in the tyre rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tyres to the
recommended inflation pressure on the
Tyre and Loading Information label
after the tyres have been rotated. See
Tyre Pressure 0 288 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor
System. See Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation 0 291.
Check that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque”
under Capacities and Specifications
0 335, and “Removing the Flat Tyre and
Installing the Spare Tyre” under Tyre
Changing 0 306.
{ Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush
afterwards to remove all rust or dirt.
295
Lightly coat the inner diameter of the
wheel hub opening with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or tyre
rotation to prevent corrosion or rust
build-up.
{ Warning
Do not apply grease to the wheel
mounting surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts or bolts.
Grease applied to these areas could
cause a wheel to become loose or
detach, resulting in a collision.
When It Is Time for New Tyres
Factors, such as maintenance, temperatures,
driving speeds, vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear rate of the tyres.
Tread wear indicators are one way to tell
when it is time for new tyres. Tread wear
indicators appear when the tyres have only
1.6 mm (1/16 in) or less of tread remaining.
See Tyre Inspection 0 294 and
Tyre Rotation 0 294.
The rubber in tyres ages over time. This also
applies to the spare tyre, if the vehicle has
one, even if it is never used. Multiple factors
including temperatures, loading conditions,
and inflation pressure maintenance affect
how fast ageing takes place. GM
recommends that tyres, including the spare
if equipped, be replaced after six years,
regardless of tread wear. To identify the age
of a tyre, use the tyre manufacture date,
which consists of the last four digits of the
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
296
Vehicle Care
DOT Tyre Identification Number (TIN)
moulded into one side of the tyre sidewall.
The last four digits of the TIN indicate the
tyre manufacture date. The first two digits
indicate the week and the last two digits,
the year. For example, the third week of the
year 2020 would have a 4-digit DOT date of
0320. Week 01 is the first full week (Sunday
to Saturday inclusive) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tyres age when stored normally mounted
on a parked vehicle. Park a vehicle that will
be stored for at least a month in a cool, dry,
clean area away from direct sunlight to slow
ageing. This area should be free of grease,
petrol, or other substances that can
deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended period can cause
flat spots on the tyres that may result in
vibrations while driving. When storing a
vehicle for at least a month, remove the
tyres or raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tyres.
Buying New Tyres
GM has developed and matched specific
tyres for the vehicle. The original
equipment tyres installed were
designed to meet General Motors Tyre
Performance Criteria Specification (TPC
Spec) system rating. When replacement
tyres are needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tyres with the
same TPC Spec rating.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec system
considers over a dozen critical
specifications that impact the overall
performance of the vehicle, including
brake system performance, ride and
handling, traction control, and tyre
pressure monitoring performance. GM's
TPC Spec number is moulded onto the
tyre's sidewall near the tyre size. If the
tyres have an all-season tread design,
the TPC Spec number will be followed
by MS for mud and snow.
GM recommends replacing worn tyres
in complete sets of four. Uniform tread
depth on all tyres will help to maintain
the performance of the vehicle. Braking
and handling performance may be
adversely affected if all the tyres are
not replaced at the same time. If proper
rotation and maintenance have been
done, all four tyres should wear out at
about the same time. However, if it is
necessary to replace only one axle set
of worn tyres, place the new tyres on
the rear axle. See Tyre Rotation 0 294.
{ Warning
Tyres could explode during improper
service. Attempting to mount or
dismount a tyre could cause injury or
death. Only your dealer or authorised
tyre service centre should mount or
dismount the tyres.
{ Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes (other
than those originally installed on the
vehicle), brands, tread patterns or
types may cause loss of control of
the vehicle, resulting in a crash or
other vehicle damage. Use the
correct size, brand, and type of tyre
on all wheels.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
Vehicle Care
{ Warning
Using bias-ply tyres on the vehicle
may cause the wheel rim flanges to
develop cracks after many miles of
driving. A tyre and/or wheel could
fail suddenly and cause a crash. Use
only radial-ply tyres with the wheels
on the vehicle.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment tyres
may not be available for H, V, W, Y and
ZR speed rated tyres. Never exceed the
winter tyres' maximum speed capability
when using winter tyres with a lower
speed rating.
If the vehicle tyres must be replaced
with a tyre that does not have a TPC
Spec number, make sure they are the
same size, load range, speed rating, and
construction (radial) as the original
tyres.
The Tyre and Loading Information label
indicates the original equipment tyres
on the vehicle. See Vehicle Load Limits
0 176.
Different Size Tyres and Wheels
If wheels or tyres are installed that are a
different size than the original equipment
wheels and tyres, vehicle performance,
including its braking, ride and handling
characteristics, stability, and resistance to
rollover may be affected. If the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock brakes,
rollover airbags, traction control, electronic
stability control, or All-Wheel Drive, the
performance of these systems can also be
affected.
{ Warning
If different sized wheels are used, there
may not be an acceptable level of
performance and safety if tyres not
recommended for those wheels are
selected. This increases the chance of a
crash and serious injury. Only use GM
specific wheel and tyre systems
developed for the vehicle, and have them
properly installed by a GM certified
technician.
See Buying New Tyres 0 296 and
Accessories and Modifications 0 255.
297
Wheel Alignment and Tyre
Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tyre life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tyre balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is unusual tyre
wear or the vehicle is significantly pulling to
one side or the other. Some slight pull to
the left or right, depending on the crown of
the road and/or other road surface
variations such as troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when driving on a
smooth road, the tyres and wheels may
need to be rebalanced. See your dealer for
proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked,
or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it. Some aluminium
wheels can be repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-16412942) - 2023 CRC - 5/25/22
298
Vehicle Care
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel that
is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel nuts,
or Tyre Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original equipment
parts.
{ Warning
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect the braking and
handling of the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control, resulting in a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{ Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used one is
dangerous. How it has been used or how
far it has been driven may be unknown.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
It could fail suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use a new GM
original equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer calibration,
headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tyre or tyre chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
Tyre Chains
{ Warning
If the vehicle has 245/45R20 size tyres, do
not use tyre chains. There is not enough
clearance. Tyre chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of clearance
can cause damage to the brakes,
suspension or other vehicle parts. The
area damaged by the tyre chains could
cause loss of control and a crash. Use
another type of traction device only if its
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
manufacturer recommends it for the
vehicle's tyre size combination and road
conditions. Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle damage,
drive slow and readjust or remove the
traction device if it contacts the vehicle.
Do not spin the wheels. If traction
devices are used, install them on the
front tyres.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with a tyre size
other than 245/45R20, use tyre chains
only where legal and only when
necessary. Use low profile chains that add
no more than 12 mm thickness to the
tyre tread and inner sidewall. Use chains
that are the proper size for the tyres.
Install them on the tyres of the front
axle. Do not use chains on the tyres of
the rear axle. Tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions. If the chains
contact the vehicle, stop and retighten

Caution (Continued)
them. If the contact continues, slow
down until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains on will
damage the vehicle.
If a Tyre Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tyre to blow out while
driving, especially if the tyres are
maintained properly. See Tyres 0 286. If air
goes out of a tyre, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. But if there is ever a
blowout, here are a few tips about what to
expect and what to do:
If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre creates a
drag that pulls the vehicle toward that side.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal and
grip the steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then gently
brake to a stop, well off the road,
if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts
much like a skid and may require the same
correction as used in a skid. Stop pressing
the accelerator pedal and steer to straighten
the vehicle. It may be very bumpy and
noisy. Gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
{ Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre after it has been
driven on while severely underinflated or
flat may cause a blowout and a serious
crash. Never attempt to re-inflate a tyre
that has been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat. Have your dealer or
an authorised tyre service centre repair or
replace the flat tyre as soon as possible.
{
299
If a tyre goes flat, avoid further tyre and
wheel damage by driving slowly to a level
place, well off the road, if possible. Turn on
the hazard warning flashers. See Hazard
Lights 0 116.
If your vehicle is loaded at or near
maximum cargo capacity, it may be difficult
to fit the jack under the vehicle due to the
environment (shoulder slope, road debris
etc.). Removal of some weight may improve
the ability to fit the jack under the vehicle
at the correct jacking location.
{ Warning
Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to
do maintenance or repairs is dangerous
without the appropriate safety equipment
and training. If a jack is provided with
the vehicle, it is designed only for
changing a flat tyre. If it is used for
anything else, you or others could be
badly injured or killed if the vehicle slips
off the jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tyre.
Changing a tyre can be dangerous. The
vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over
or fall causing injury or death. Find a
level place to change the tyre. To help
prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park).
3. Turn the vehicle off and do not
restart the vehicle while it is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain
in the vehicle.

The following information explains how to
repair or change a tyre.
Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit
{ Warning
Idling a vehicle in an enclosed area with
poor ventilation is dangerous. Engine
exhaust may enter the vehicle. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO)
which cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area
that has no fresh air ventilation. For more
information, see Engine Exhaust 0 186.
{ Warning
Overinflating a tyre could cause the tyre
to rupture and you or others could be
injured. Be sure to read and follow the
tyre sealant and compressor kit
instructions and inflate the tyre to its
recommended pressure. Do not exceed
the recommended pressure.
1. Wheel Chock (If Equipped)
2. Flat Tyre
{ Warning
Storing the tyre sealant and compressor
kit or other equipment in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle could cause
injury. In a sudden stop or collision, loose
equipment could strike someone. Store
the tyre sealant and compressor kit in its
original location.
If this vehicle has a tyre sealant and
compressor kit, there may not be a spare
tyre or tyre changing equipment, and on
some vehicles there may not be a place to
store a tyre.
The tyre sealant and compressor can be
used to temporarily seal punctures up to
6 mm (0.25 in) in the tread area of the tyre.
It can also be used to inflate an under
inflated tyre.
If the tyre has been separated from the
wheel, has damaged sidewalls, or has a
large puncture, the tyre is too severely
damaged for the tyre sealant and
compressor kit to be effective.

snow and ice. If the check engine light is
activated, please check to see if the shutter
system is clear of debris, snow or ice.
Windscreen and Wiper Blades
Clean the outside of the windscreen with
glass cleaner.
Clean rubber blades using a lint-free cloth or
paper towel soaked with windscreen washer
fluid or a mild detergent. Wash the
windscreen thoroughly when cleaning the
blades. Insects, road grime, sap, and a

may cause wiper streaking.
Replace the wiper blades if they are worn or
damaged. Damage can be caused by
extreme dusty conditions, sand, salt, heat,
sun, snow, and ice.
Weatherstrips
The vehicle may have a shutter system
designed to help improve fuel economy.
Keep the shutter system clear of debris,
Apply weatherstrip lubricant on
weatherstrips to make them last longer, seal
better, and not stick or squeak. Lubricate
weatherstrips at least once a year. Hot, dry
climates may require more frequent
application. Black marks from rubber
material on painted surfaces can be removed
by rubbing with a clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 330.

mats. These cleaners can permanently
change the appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make the floor
slippery. Your foot could slip while
operating the vehicle, and you could lose
control, resulting in a collision. You or
others could be injured.
To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colour-fast
cloth with water. Microfiber cloth is
recommended to prevent lint transfer to
the fabric or carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently
wringing until water does not drip from
the cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge of the soil and
gently rub toward the centre. Fold the
cleaning cloth to a clean area frequently
to prevent forcing the soil into the
fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled area
until there is no longer any colour
transfer from the soil to the cleaning
cloth.
5. If the soil is not completely removed,
use a mild soap solution followed only
by plain water.
If the soil is not completely removed, it may
be necessary to use a commercial upholstery
cleaner or spot lifter. Test a small hidden
area for colourfastness before using a
commercial upholstery cleaner or spot lifter.
If ring formation occurs, clean the entire
fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper towel to blot
excess moisture.

This data is exclusively technical and helps
identify and correct errors as well as
optimise vehicle functions.
Event Data Recorders
Motion profiles indicating travelled routes
cannot be created with this data.
Data Storage Modules in the Vehicle
A large number of electronic components of
your vehicle contain data storage modules
temporarily or permanently storing technical
data about the condition of the vehicle,
events, and errors. In general, this technical
information documents the condition of
parts, modules, systems, or the
environment:
. Operating conditions of system
components (e.g., filling levels).
. Status messages of the vehicle and its
single components (e.g., number of wheel
revolutions/rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration).
. Dysfunctions and defects in important
system components.
. Vehicle reactions in particular driving
situations (e.g., inflation of an airbag,
activation of the stability regulation
system).
. Environmental concerns (e.g.,
temperature).
If services are used (e.g., repair works,
service processes, warranty cases, quality
assurance), employees of the service
network (manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information from the
event and error data storage modules
applying special diagnostic devices.
If required, you will receive further
information at these dealers. After an error
has been corrected, the data is deleted from
the error storage module or constantly
overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations may
occur in which these technical data related
to other information (crash report, damage
to the vehicle, witness statements, etc.) may
be associated with a specific person —
possibly, with the assistance of an expert.
In an emergency, your vehicle location and
other data may be transmitted to
emergency services in accordance with
Directive (EU) 2015/758. See eCall Overview

emergency centre. Press ? within
two seconds to cancel the manually
activated eCall.
