It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a
collision, passengers riding
in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed. Do not allow
passengers to ride in any

Always wear a seat belt, and
check that all passenger(s)
are restrained properly too.

Questions and Answers
About Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the
vehicle after a crash if I am
wearing a seat belt?
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 windshield, 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 forces from
A: You could be — whether you
are wearing a seat belt or
not. Your chance of being
conscious during and after a
crash, so you can unbuckle
and get out, is 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 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.
51
Also, in nearly all states and
in all Canadian provinces,
the law requires wearing
seat belts.
Buckle To Drive
If equipped, this feature
prevents the vehicle from
shifting out of P (Park) when
the driver seat belt is not
buckled. The Buckle to Drive
feature must be turned ON in
the infotainment system to
work. To turn the Buckle to
Drive feature on or off, select
Settings > Vehicle > Buckle to
Drive. See Teen Driver 0 178,
if equipped.
If the vehicle is on and the
brake pedal is pressed with
the vehicle in P (Park) but the
driver seat belt is not buckled,
a message displays in the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
and the vehicle will be
prevented from shifting out of
P (Park). Buckle the driver seat
belt to clear the message and
shift out of P (Park). Shifting

from P (Park) will be prevented
once for each time the vehicle
is started.
On some models, Buckle to
Drive may also prevent
shifting out of P (Park) if a
front passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front
passenger seat belt to clear
the message and shift out of
P (Park). This feature may not
allow the vehicle to shift out of
P (Park) if an object, such as a
briefcase, handbag, grocery
bag, laptop, or other electronic
device, is on the front
passenger seat. If this
happens, remove the object
from the seat or buckle the
seat belt to shift out of
P (Park).
If the driver, or on some
vehicles, the present front
passenger remains unbuckled,
the DIC message will turn off
after several seconds and the
vehicle can be shifted out of
P (Park). See “Seat Belts” and
“Child Restraints” in the Index
for information about the
importance of proper
restraint use.
If the driver seat belt or the
front passenger seat belt is

rules for children in addition to
the following rules.
. 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.

again. If the locking feature
stays engaged after letting
the belt go back to stowed
position on the seat, move
the seat rearward or recline
the seat until the shoulder
belt retractor lock releases.
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.
If the shoulder portion of a
passenger belt is pulled out
all the way, the child
restraint locking feature
may be engaged. See Child
Restraint Systems 0 77.
If this occurs, let the belt go
If the webbing locks in the
latch plate before it reaches

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

Seats and Restraints
The best way to protect the
fetus is to protect the mother.
When a seat belt is worn
properly, it is more likely that
the fetus will not be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as
for anyone, the key to making
seat belts effective is wearing
them properly.
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will
fasten around you, you should
use it.
But if a seat belt is not long
enough, your dealer will order
you an extender. Only a GM
dealer issued extender should
be used. When you go in to
order it, take the heaviest coat
you will wear, so the extender
will be long enough for you. To
help avoid personal injury, do
not let someone else use it,
and use it only for the seat it is
made to fit. The extender has
been designed for adults.
Never use it for securing child
restraints. For more
information on the proper use
and fit of seat belt extenders
see the instruction sheet that
comes with the extender.
Make sure the seat belt
reminder light is working. See
Seat Belt Reminders 0 112.
Safety System Check
Keep seat belts clean and dry.
See Seat Belt Care 0 58.
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 are all in
working order. Look for any
other loose or damaged seat
belt system parts that might
keep a seat belt system from
performing properly. See your
dealer to have it repaired.
Torn, frayed, or twisted seat
belts may not protect you in a
crash. Torn or frayed seat
belts can rip apart under
impact forces. If a belt is torn
or frayed, have it replaced
immediately. If a belt is
twisted, it may be possible to
untwist by reversing the latch
plate on the webbing. If the
twist cannot be corrected, ask
your dealer to fix it.
Seat Belt Care
Keep belts clean and dry.
Seat belts should be properly
cared for and maintained.
Seat belt hardware should be
kept dry and free of dust or
debris. As necessary, exterior
hard surfaces and seat belt
webbing may be lightly
cleaned with mild soap and
water. Ensure there is not
excessive dust or debris in the
mechanism. If dust or debris
exists in the system please
see the dealer. Parts may
need to be replaced to ensure

Seats and Restraints
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 center 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 seatback 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,

Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every
crash. In some crashes seat
belts are the only restraint.
See When Should an Airbag

even death. The path of an
inflating airbag must be kept
clear. Do not put anything
between an occupant and an

put anything on the steering
wheel hub or on or near any
other airbag covering.
Do not use seat accessories
that block the inflation path
of a seat-mounted side
impact airbag.
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 an
inflating roof-rail airbag will
be blocked.
When Should an
Airbag Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with
airbags. See Airbag System
0 59. 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.
63
Whether the frontal airbags
will or should inflate is not
based primarily on how fast
the vehicle is traveling.
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, in rear
impacts, or in many side
impacts.
In addition, the vehicle has
advanced technology frontal
airbags. Advanced technology
frontal airbags adjust the
restraint according to crash
severity.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
64
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 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 61.
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.
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
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Seats and Restraints
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 63.
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 realize
the airbags inflated. Roof-rail
airbags may still be at least
partially inflated for some time
after they inflate. Some
components of the airbag
module may be hot for several
minutes. For location of the
airbags, see Where Are the
Airbags? 0 61.
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 windshield 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 in the vehicle
should get out as soon as it
is safe to do so. If you have

Warning (Continued)
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
flashers after the airbags
inflate. The feature may also
activate, without airbag
inflation, after an event that
exceeds a predetermined
threshold. After turning the
vehicle off and then on again,
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 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 attempting to
restart the vehicle after a
crash has occurred.
Plug-in vehicles have a high
voltage battery and a
standard 12-volt battery.
If an airbag inflates or the
vehicle has been in a crash,
the sensing system may shut
down the high voltage system.
When this occurs, the high
voltage battery is
disconnected and the vehicle
will not start. Before the
vehicle can be operated again,
it must be serviced at your
dealer.
In many crashes severe
enough to inflate the airbag,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.

inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the

occupant and determine if the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
should be allowed to inflate
or not.
The words ON and OFF, and
the symbols for on and off, will
be visible during the system
check. When the system check
is complete, either the word
ON or OFF, and the symbol for
on or off, will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 113.
The passenger sensing
system turns off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag under
certain conditions. No other
airbag is affected by the
passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing
system works with sensors
that are part of the front
outboard passenger seat and
seat belt. The sensors are
designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated
According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when properly secured in a
rear seat in the correct child
restraint for their weight
and size.
Whenever possible, children
aged 12 and under should be
secured in a rear seating
position.
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great,
if the airbag inflates.
{ Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the
passenger frontal airbag
inflates. This is because the

can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,

always move the seat as far
back as it will go. It is better
to secure child restraints in
the rear seat. Consider
using another vehicle to
transport the child when a
rear seat is not available.
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee
airbag if:
. The front outboard
passenger seat is
unoccupied.
. The system determines an
infant is present in a child
restraint.
. A front outboard passenger
takes his/her weight off of
the seat for a period of time.
When the passenger sensing
system has turned off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
the OFF indicator will light and
stay lit as a reminder that the
airbags are off. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator 0 113.
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn on
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
anytime the system senses
that a person of adult size is
sitting properly in the front
outboard passenger seat.
When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the
airbags to be enabled, the ON
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbags
are active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
depending upon the person's
seating posture and body
build. Everyone in the vehicle
who has outgrown child
restraints should wear a seat
belt properly — whether or not
there is an airbag for that
person.

important safety
information.
If the On Indicator Is Lit
for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
if the system determines that
an infant is present in a child
restraint. If a child restraint
has been installed and the ON
indicator is lit:

Seats and Restraints
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint
from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional
items from the seat such as
blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers.
4. Reinstall the child restraint
following the directions
provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and
refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat) 0 90
or Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat) 0 88.
Make sure the seat belt
retractor is locked by pulling
the shoulder belt all the way
out of the retractor when
installing the child restraint,
even if the child restraint is
equipped with a seat belt
lock off. When the retractor
lock is set, the belt can be
tightened but not pulled out
of the retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child
restraint and restarting the
vehicle, the ON indicator is
still lit, turn the vehicle off.
Then slightly recline the
vehicle seatback and adjust
the seat cushion,
if adjustable, to make sure
that the vehicle seatback is
not pushing the child
restraint into the seat
cushion.
Also make sure the child
restraint is not trapped
under the vehicle head
restraint. If this happens,
adjust the head restraint.
See Head Restraints 0 38.
6. Restart the vehicle.
The passenger sensing
system may or may not turn
off the airbags for a child in a
child restraint depending upon
the child’s size. It is better to
secure the child restraint in a
rear seat. Never put a
rear-facing child restraint in
the front seat, even if the ON
indicator is not lit.
69
If the Off Indicator Is Lit
for an Adult-Sized
Occupant
If a person of adult size is
sitting in the front outboard
passenger seat, but the OFF
indicator is lit, it could be
because that person is not
sitting properly in the seat or
that the child restraint locking
feature is engaged. Use the
following steps to allow the
system to detect that person
and enable the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag:

Seats and Restraints
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove any additional
material from the seat, such
as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers.
3. Place the seatback in the
fully upright position.
4. Have the person sit upright
in the seat, centered on the
seat cushion, with legs
comfortably extended.
5. If the shoulder portion of
the belt is pulled out all the
way, the child restraint
locking feature will be
engaged. This may
unintentionally cause the
passenger sensing system
to turn the airbag off for
some adult-sized occupants.
If this happens, unbuckle the
belt, let the belt go back all
the way, and then buckle
the belt again without
pulling the belt out all
the way.
6. Restart the vehicle and
have the person remain in
this position for two to
three minutes after the ON
indicator is lit.
{ Warning
If the front outboard
passenger airbag is turned
off for an adult-sized
occupant, the airbag will not
be able to inflate and help
protect that person in a
crash, resulting in an
increased risk of serious
injury or even death. An
adult-sized occupant should
not ride in the front
outboard passenger seat,
if the passenger airbag OFF
indicator is lit.
Additional Factors
Affecting System
Operation
Seat belts help keep the
passenger in position on the
seat during vehicle maneuvers
and braking, which helps the
passenger sensing system
maintain the passenger airbag
status. See “Seat Belts” and
“Child Restraints” in the Index
for additional information
about the importance of
proper restraint use.
A thick layer of additional
material, such as a blanket or
cushion, or aftermarket
equipment such as seat
covers, seat heaters, and seat
massagers can affect how well
the passenger sensing system
operates. We recommend that
you not use seat covers or
other aftermarket equipment
except when approved by GM
for your specific vehicle. See
Adding Equipment to the
Airbag-Equipped Vehicle 0 71
for more information about
modifications that can affect
how the system operates.
The ON indicator may be lit if
an object, such as a briefcase,
handbag, grocery bag, laptop,
or other electronic device, is

If this is not desired, remove
the object from the seat.
{ Warning
Stowing articles under the
passenger seat or between
the passenger seat cushion
and seatback may interfere
with the proper operation of
the passenger sensing
system.
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. To purchase a service
manual, see Publication
Ordering Information 0 394.
{ Warning
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.
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.
71
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 zippers
. Seat belts
. Steering wheel, instrument
panel, overhead console,
ceiling trim, or pillar
garnish trim
. Inner door seals, including
speakers
Your dealer and the service
manual have information about
the location of the airbag
modules and sensors, sensing
and diagnostic module, and
airbag wiring along with the
proper replacement
procedures.

In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system for
the front outboard passenger
position, which includes
sensors that are part of the
passenger seat. The
passenger sensing system
may not operate properly if
the original seat trim is
replaced with non-GM covers,
upholstery, or trim; or with GM
covers, upholstery, or trim
designed for a different
vehicle. Any object, such as an
aftermarket seat heater or a
comfort-enhancing pad or
device, installed under or on
top of the seat fabric, could
also interfere with the
operation of the passenger
sensing system. This could
either prevent proper
deployment of the passenger
airbag(s) or prevent the
passenger sensing system
from properly turning off the
passenger airbag(s). See
Passenger Sensing System

{ Warning
Infants and Young
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs
protection! This includes
infants and all other children.
Neither the distance traveled
nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for
everyone, to use safety
restraints. In fact, the law in
every state in the United
States and in every Canadian
province says children up to
some age must be restrained
while in a vehicle.
Children can be seriously
injured or killed if the
shoulder belt is worn behind
their back, under their legs,
or wrapped around their
neck. The shoulder belt can
tighten but cannot be
loosened if it is locked. The
shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when
the shoulder belt is allowed
to go all the way back into
the retractor, but it cannot
do this if it is wrapped
around the child. Never
leave children unattended in
a vehicle and never allow
children to improperly wear,
or play with, the seat belts.
Every time infants and young
children ride in vehicles, they
should have the protection
provided by appropriate child
restraints. Neither the
75
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.

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.
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 and is designed
by a genuine child restraint
manufacturer. If it is, the child
restraint will have a label
saying that it meets federal
motor vehicle safety
standards.
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

A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
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 passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger
seat is in a forward position.
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.
Whenever possible, children
aged 12 and under should be
secured in a rear seating
position.
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.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front 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.

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 seat,
always move the front
passenger seat as far back
as it will go. It is better to
secure the child restraint in
a rear seat.
See Passenger Sensing
System 0 66 for additional
information.
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.
Child restraints and booster
seats vary considerably in size,
and some may fit in certain
seating positions better than
others. Do not install a child
restraint in any rear seating
position where it cannot be
installed securely.
Depending on where you place
the child restraint and the size
of the child restraint, you may
not be able to access adjacent
seat belts or LATCH anchors
for additional passengers or
child restraints. Adjacent
seating positions should not
be used if the child restraint
prevents access to or
interferes with the routing of
the seat belt.
The seat in front of an
installed child restraint should
be adjusted to ensure proper
installation according to the
child restraint manual.
Wherever a child restraint is
installed, be sure to follow the
instructions that came with
the child restraint and secure
the child restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an
unsecured child restraint can
move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people
in the vehicle. Be sure to
properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle — even
when no child is in it.
Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)
The LATCH system secures a
child restraint during driving or
in a crash. LATCH
attachments on the child
restraint are used to attach
the child restraint to the
anchors in the vehicle. This
system is designed to make
installation of a child restraint
easier.

Seats and Restraints
In order to use the LATCH
system in your vehicle, you
need a child restraint that has
LATCH attachments.
LATCH-compatible rear-facing
and forward-facing child seats
can be properly installed using
either the LATCH anchors or
the vehicle’s seat belts. Do not
use both the seat belts and
the LATCH anchorage system
to secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint.
Booster seats use the
vehicle’s seat belts to secure
the child and the booster seat.
If the manufacturer
recommends that the booster
seat be secured with the
LATCH system, this can be
done as long as the booster
seat can be positioned
properly and there is no
interference with the proper
positioning of the lap-shoulder
belt on the child.
Make sure to follow the
instructions that came with
the child restraint, and also
the instructions in this manual.
When installing a child
restraint with a top tether, you
must also use either the lower
anchors or the seat belts to
properly secure the child
restraint. A child restraint
must never be attached using
only the top tether.
81
For a forward-facing 5-pt
harness child restraint where
the combined weight of the
child and restraint are up to
29.5 kg (65 lb), use either the
lower LATCH anchorages with
the top tether anchorage,
or the seat belt with the top
tether anchorage. Where the
combined weight of the child
and restraint are greater than
29.5 kg (65 lb), use the seat
belt with the top tether
anchorage only.

Some child restraints with a
top tether are designed for
use with or without the top
tether being attached. Others
require the top tether always
to be attached. In Canada, the
law requires that
forward-facing child restraints
have a top tether, and that the
tether be attached. Be sure to
read and follow the
instructions for your child
restraint.

New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at
the time of the crash.
{ Warning
A crash can damage the
LATCH system in the
vehicle. A damaged LATCH
system may not properly
secure the child restraint,
resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To
help make sure the LATCH
system is working properly
after a crash, see your
dealer to have the system
inspected and any
necessary replacements
made as soon as possible.
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
LATCH system, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) 0 80
for how and where to install
the child restraint using
LATCH. If a child restraint is
secured in the vehicle using a
seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 0 80 for top
tether anchor locations.
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 say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
If the child restraint or vehicle
seat position does not have
the LATCH 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.

installing a forward-facing
child restraint, it may be
helpful to use your knee to
push down on the child
restraint as you tighten
the belt.
Try to pull the belt out of
the retractor to make sure
the retractor is locked. If the
retractor is not locked,
repeat Steps 4 and 5.
6. If the child restraint has a
top tether, follow the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions regarding the
use of the top tether. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH
System) 0 80.
7. Before placing a child in the
child restraint, make sure it
is securely held in place. To
check, grasp the child
restraint at the seat belt
path and attempt to move it
side to side and back and
forth. When the child
restraint is properly
installed, there should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in) of
movement.
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.
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 79.
In addition, the vehicle has a
passenger sensing system
which is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
under certain conditions. See
Passenger Sensing System
0 66 and
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0 113 for more
information, including
important safety information.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Seats and Restraints
Never put a rear-facing child
seat in the front. This is
because the risk to the
rear-facing child is so great if
the airbag deploys.
{ Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously
injured or killed if the front
outboard passenger frontal
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 frontal
airbag inflates and the
passenger seat is in a
forward position.
Even if the passenger
sensing system has turned
off the front outboard
passenger airbag(s), no

system is fail-safe. No one
can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance,
even though the airbag(s)
are off.
Secure rear-facing child
restraints in a rear seat,
even if the airbag(s) are 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.
See Passenger Sensing
System 0 66 for additional
information.
If the child restraint uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System) 0 80 for top
tether anchor locations.

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 say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
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 seatback to
an upright position,
if needed, to get a tight
installation of the child
restraint. There must be

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.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
Tilt the latch plate to adjust
the belt if needed.
5. Pull the shoulder belt all the
way out of the retractor to
set the lock. When the
retractor lock is set, the belt
can be tightened but not
pulled out of the retractor.

Charging
Important Information about
Electric Vehicle Charging
. Charging an electric vehicle
can stress a building’s
electrical system more than
a typical household
appliance.
. Charge cord limits can vary
from vehicle to vehicle, and
increased charging rates can
stress a building’s electrical
system.
. Before plugging into any
electrical outlet, have a
qualified electrician inspect
and verify the electrical
system (electrical outlet,
wiring, junctions, and
.
.
.
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a
12 amp continuous load.
Electrical outlets may wear
out with normal usage or
may be damaged over time,
making them unsuitable for
electric vehicle charging.
Check the electrical outlet/
plug while charging and
discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot,
then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.
Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the
electrical outlet/plug.
Do not place the charge cord
in a position where it is
expected to be submerged
in water.
123
{ Danger
Improper use of portable
electric vehicle charge cords
may cause a fire, electrical
shock, or burns, and may
result in damage to
property, serious injury,
or death.
. Do not use extension
cords, multi-outlet power
strips, splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge
protectors, or similar
devices.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit
with other electrical loads.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12–
volt battery
When the battery state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly
increase the charge. When the
state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this
adjustment occurs, you may
see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge
or voltage display on the
Driver Information (DIC),
if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be
displayed.
If the electrical loads are very
high, the battery can be
discharged when the vehicle is
stationary. A high electrical
load occurs when several
features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling
fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power
outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery by balancing the
electrical system output and
the vehicle's electrical needs.

In some cases, it can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
These actions occur in steps
or levels without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective
action, this action may be
noticeable to the driver. If so, a
DIC battery voltage and
charging message displays.
It is recommended that the
driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0 132.
Battery Power
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained if
the interior courtesy lamps or
reading lamps are accidentally
left on. If any of these lamps
are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The
lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
. The vehicle is started.
. The doors are closed and
then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off
about 10 minutes after the
vehicle is turned off, if the
parking lamps or headlamps
have been manually left on.
This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the
10-minute timer, turn the
exterior lamp control to the O
position and then back to the
; or 2 position.
To keep the lamps on for more
than 10 minutes, the vehicle
must be on.

determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
This system might not be
available or interference can
occur if any of the following
are true:
. Signals are obstructed by
tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
. Satellites are being repaired

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

the base of the windshield
that could block the flow of
air into the vehicle.
. Clear snow off the hood 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
hood 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 will
restrict airflow and may
cause damage to the air
vents.

Driving
Information
Driving for Better
Energy Efficiency
Use the tips in the categories
below to help maximize energy
efficiency and range.
In colder temperatures, while
these efficiency tips will help,
the electric vehicle driving
range will be lower due to
higher energy usage including
energy spent heating the
cabin.
The Energy Usage card
available on the Driver
Information Center (DIC)
estimates the influence of the
main factors impacting vehicle
range. It displays how energy
is being used for the current
drive since the last time the
vehicle was started. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0 132 and
Vehicle Information 0 133.

Driving and Operating
Acceleration/Braking/
Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and
decelerations.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations,
and coast whenever possible.
Do not rush to traffic signals,
and do not shift to N (Neutral)
to coast.
Use the One-Pedal Driving
feature when appropriate to
help recover energy during
coasting and braking.
One-Pedal mode recovers
more energy while coasting
and braking than D (Drive)
mode. See One-Pedal Driving
0 214.
Use the steering wheel Regen
on Demand paddle during
deceleration to help recover
energy. See Regenerative
Braking 0 220.
Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Higher speeds and grade
changes use more energy and
can significantly reduce
electric range.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air
conditioning systems
decreases the energy
available for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is
achieved when the heat, air
conditioning, and fan are
turned off.
Use the heated and ventilated
seat features (if equipped)
instead of the climate control
system. Heating and
ventilating the seat uses less
energy than heating and
cooling the interior. See
Heated and Ventilated Front
Seats 0 45 and
Heated Rear Seats 0 49.
Use the Remote Start Climate
Control feature to heat or cool
the interior while the vehicle is
plugged in to use electricity
from the electrical outlet
instead of using energy from
the battery. See Remote Start
0 15.
In hot weather, avoid parking
in direct sunlight. Use
sunshades inside the vehicle.
Keep the inside of the
windows clean to reduce
fogging. Turn off the front
defroster and rear defogger
when they are not needed.
Avoid driving with the
windows open at highway
speeds.
Use the Battery Gauge on the
Instrument Cluster to view the
effect of climate control
settings on your estimated
range. See Battery Gauge
(High Voltage) 0 110.
Outside Temperature
On colder days, it is best to
plug in the vehicle overnight,
and then remote start the
vehicle.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
Allow the vehicle to warm up
for 20 minutes before driving.
Vehicle Charging/
Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in,
even when fully charged, to
keep the battery temperature
ready for the next drive. This
is important when outside
temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
If possible, use a level 2
(240 volt) high power charge
station for best results. This
allows the interior of the
vehicle and high voltage
battery to warm to optimal
temperature.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly
inflated and the vehicle
properly aligned.
The weight of excess cargo in
the vehicle affects efficiency
and range. Avoid carrying
more than is needed.
195
Avoid unnecessary use of
electrical accessories. Power
used for functions other than
propelling the vehicle will
reduce the available range.
. Do not use a mobile phone in
Using a rooftop carrier will
reduce efficiency due to
additional weight and drag.
.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment 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.
To avoid distracted driving,
keep your eyes on the road,
keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.

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 mobile
phones or other electronic
devices.
Designate a front seat
passenger to handle
potential distractions.
Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such
as programming favorite
radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat
settings. Program all trip
information into any
navigation device prior to
driving.
Wait until the vehicle is
parked to retrieve items that
have fallen to the floor.
Stop or park the vehicle to
tend to children.
Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.

Driving and Operating
. Avoid stressful
conversations while driving,
whether with a passenger or
on a mobile phone.
{ 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, 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 50.
. Assume that other road
users (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.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated
with impaired driving is a
global tragedy.
{ Warning
Drinking alcohol or taking
drugs and then driving is
very dangerous. Your
reflexes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment
can be affected by even a
small amount of alcohol or
drugs. You can have a
serious — or even fatal —
collision if you drive after
drinking or taking drugs.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Do not drive while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs,
or ride with a driver who has
been drinking or is impaired
by drugs. Find alternate
transportation home; or if
you are with a group,
designate a driver who will
remain sober.
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
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
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.
. Keep pace with traffic.
Caution (Continued)
caused by misuse of the
vehicle is not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
If the steering assist is used
for an extended period of time
while the vehicle is not moving,
power assist may be reduced.
If the steering wheel is turned
until it reaches the end of its
travel and is held against that
position for an extended
period of time, power steering
assist may be reduced.
Normal use of the power
steering assist should return
when the system cools down.
Steering
See your dealer if there is a
problem.
Electric Power Steering
Curve Tips
Caution
To avoid damage to the
steering system, do not
drive over curbs, 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

197
The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have
power steering fluid. Regular
maintenance is not required.
If power steering assist is lost
due to a system malfunction,
the vehicle can be steered, but
may require increased effort.
. Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
. Reduce speed before
entering a curve.
. Maintain a reasonable
steady speed through the
curve.
. Wait until the vehicle is out
of the curve before
accelerating gently into the
straightaway.

198
Driving and Operating
Steering in Emergencies
. There are some situations
when steering 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.
Off-Road Recovery
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 tire
contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to
go straight down the
roadway.
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 curve causes tires 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
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
the road. Learn to recognize
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 tires to slide.
{ Warning
Remember: Antilock brakes
help avoid only the
braking skid.
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 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.
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.
199
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous.
Water can build up under the
vehicle's tires 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
hydroplaning, it has little or no
contact with the road.
There is no hard and fast rule
about hydroplaning. 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.
. Pass with caution.
. Keep windshield wiping
equipment in good shape.
. Keep the windshield washer
fluid reservoir filled.
. Have good tires with proper
tread depth. See Tires 0 334.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
200
Driving and Operating
. Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain
Roads
{ Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
If the battery becomes full,
regenerative braking will be
limited or unavailable. The
brakes will have to do all the
work of slowing down the
vehicle and could become
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
too hot. Hot brakes may not
be able to slow the vehicle
enough to maintain speed
and control. To help avoid
the risk of a crash, limit the
battery’s charge and, if you
experience brake fade or
receive a brake warning,
stop the vehicle and allow
the brakes to cool.
See “Charge Now” under
Charging 0 123 for
information on setting
charge limits.
Driving on steep hills or
through mountains is different
than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Be sure to:
. Use regenerative braking to
help slow the vehicle or
maintain speed by keeping
the vehicle in gear and
limiting the initial battery
charge to 80% or less.
. When braking is necessary,
.
.
.
.
.
use frequent, light taps of
the brake pedal. This
maximizes regenerative
braking and minimizes the
load on the vehicle brake
system.
Keep the vehicle serviced
and in good shape.
Check all fluid levels, brakes,
tires and cooling system.
Drive at speeds that keep
the vehicle in its own lane.
Do not swing wide or cross
the center line.
Be alert on top of hills;
something could be in your
lane (e.g., stalled car, crash).
Pay attention to special road
signs (e.g., falling rocks area,
winding roads, long grades,
passing or no-passing zones)
and take appropriate action.

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 tires
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.
For Slippery Road Driving:
. Turn off cruise control.

systems. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0 221.
Select the Snow/Ice driver
mode. See Driver Mode
Control 0 223.
Accelerate gently.
Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin
and makes the surface under
the tires slick.
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 maneuvers and
braking while on ice.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
improves vehicle stability
during hard stops, but the
brakes should be applied
sooner than when on dry
pavement. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) 0 216.
201
Blizzard Conditions
If you become stranded or
cannot continue driving due to
winter storm conditions, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and
signal for help. Stay with the
vehicle unless there is help
nearby.
If you stay in your vehicle
while waiting, signal for help
and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the
hazard warning flashers and
tying a red cloth to an outside
mirror.
To conserve battery energy
while waiting for help, run the
vehicle for only short periods
as needed to warm the vehicle
and then shut the vehicle off
and partially close the window.
Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips
to help conserve battery
energy in cold weather, see

Driving and Operating
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin the
wheels to free the vehicle
when stuck in sand, mud, ice,
or snow. See "Rocking the
Vehicle to Get It Out" later in
this section.
The Traction Control System
(TCS) can often help to free a
stuck vehicle. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control 0 221. If stuck too
severely for the TCS to free
the vehicle, turn off the TCS
and use the rocking method.
See "Rocking the Vehicle to
Get It Out" later in this section.
{ Warning
If the vehicle’s tires spin at
high speed, they can
explode, and you or others
could be injured. Spin the
wheels as little as possible
and avoid going above
56 km/h (35 mph).
Rocking the Vehicle to Get
it Out
Turn the steering wheel left
and right to clear the area
around the front wheels. Turn
off the TCS. Shift back and
forth between R (Reverse) and
a forward gear, spinning the
wheels as little as possible. To
prevent electric drive unit
wear, wait until the wheels
stop spinning before shifting
gears. 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. See Transporting a
Disabled Vehicle 0 359.
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
nonfactory-installed
options. Two labels on the
vehicle may show how
much weight it may
properly carry, the Tire and
Loading Information label
and the Certification/Tire
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

“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, 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.”

Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
This vehicle may be equipped
with advanced electric
All-Wheel Drive (eAWD). The
eAWD system delivers power
215
to all four wheels, and the
system adjusts automatically
to the driving conditions. The
eAWD system continuously
varies the drive power to the
front and rear wheels to
maximize driving efficiency and
improve driving dynamics.
Your vehicle has exceptional
driving capability, but care
must always be taken to
adjust driving style to the
traffic and road conditions.
The vehicle eAWD settings
may be customized for 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
pressed 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.
ABS performs a system check
when the vehicle is first driven.
A momentary motor or clicking
noise may be heard while this
test is going on, and the brake
pedal may move slightly. This
is normal.
ABS does not change the time
needed to get a 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 that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops.
Always leave enough room
ahead to stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just
hold the brake pedal down
firmly. Hearing or feeling ABS
operate is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
If there is a problem with ABS,
this warning light stays on.
See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) Warning Light 0 117.
ABS allows steering and
braking at the same time. In
many emergencies, steering
can help even more than
braking.

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.
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 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 0 196.
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.
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.
Automatic Vehicle
Hold (AVH)
{ Warning
Do not rely on this feature.
It 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.
219
When Automatic Vehicle Hold
(AVH) is turned on and the
vehicle is braked to a stop,
AVH prevents the vehicle from
moving during the transition
from brake pedal release to
accelerator pedal apply. The
brakes release when the
accelerator pedal is applied.
The brakes may also release
under other conditions. Do not
rely on AVH to hold the
vehicle.
If the accelerator pedal is not
applied within a few minutes,
the Electric Parking Brake will
apply. The parking brake will
also apply if the driver door is
opened or the driver seat belt
is unfastened while AVH is

Driving and Operating
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking takes
some of the energy from the
moving vehicle and turns it
back into electrical energy.
This energy is then stored
back into the high voltage
battery system, contributing
to increased energy efficiency.
Regenerative power may be
limited when the battery is
near full charge or cold. See
“Regenerative Power Limited”
under Power Indicator Gauge
0 111. Regenerative braking
supplements your vehicle’s
conventional brakes, especially
when going downhill. See Hill
and Mountain Roads 0 200.
{ Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Regen on Demand
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
See “Charge Now” under
Charging 0 123 for
information on setting
charge limits. See Hill and
Mountain Roads 0 200 for
important information about
driving on grades.
The brake system uses
regenerative braking,
conventional hydraulic braking,
or a combination of both as
appropriate.
Applying the Regen on
Demand steering wheel paddle
requests additional
deceleration using
regenerative braking. The
deceleration request
increases as the paddle is
applied more. It works in D
(Drive). The accelerator pedal
can be used to manage
deceleration while using
Regen on Demand. See
One-Pedal Driving 0 214.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
If the vehicle is brought to a
complete stop while the
Regen on Demand paddle is
applied, the vehicle will not
creep forward when the
paddle is released. The
accelerator pedal must be
pressed to move the vehicle
forward.
Ride Control
Systems
If the vehicle is on a steep
grade, the brake pedal must
be used to hold the vehicle.
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.
When available regenerative
braking power is limited, the
hydraulic brakes may be
applied to make up the
difference.
Cruise control will turn off and
the brake lamps may come on
when this feature is activated.
Avoid using Regen on Demand
under slippery road conditions.
Use the brake pedal as the
primary braking device.
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
System Operation
TCS activates if it senses any
of the drive wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens,
TCS applies the brakes to the
spinning wheels and reduces
vehicle power to limit
wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates
when the vehicle senses a
difference between the
intended path and the
221
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak/ESC
selectively applies braking
pressure to one or more of
the vehicle wheel brakes to
assist the driver in keeping the
vehicle on the intended path.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is
also on automatically when the
vehicle is started. See Trailer
Sway Control (TSC) 0 304.
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.
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.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22

Driving and Operating
It is recommended to leave
both systems on for normal
driving conditions, but it may
be necessary to turn TCS off
if the vehicle gets stuck in
sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If
the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 202 and
“Turning the Systems Off and
On” later in this section.
The indicator light for both
systems is in the instrument

wheel spin
. Flashes when StabiliTrak/
ESC is activated
. Turns on and stay on when
either system is not working
See Traction Control System

Cruise Control
Adaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
allows the cruise control set
speed and following gap to be
selected. Read this entire
section before using this
system. The following gap is
the following time (or distance)
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 a
camera and radar sensor(s) to
detect other vehicles. See
Radio Frequency Statement
0 395.
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 the
vehicle speed when the
Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
activates, ACC may
automatically disengage. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 221. When
road conditions allow ACC to
be safely used, ACC can be
turned back on.
Disabling the TCS or
StabiliTrak/ESC system will
disengage and prevent
engagement of ACC.
ACC can reduce the need for
you to frequently brake and
accelerate, especially when
used on expressways,
freeways, and interstate
highways. When used on other
roads, you may need to take
over the control of braking or
acceleration more often.
225
{ 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” later 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 0 196.

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 available options and
select ”Alert Type” and
“Adaptive Cruise Go Notifier”
in “Collision/Detection

If equipped with Driver
Attention System (DAS), when
the vehicle ahead drives away,
and DAS determines that the
driver's attention is on the
road ahead, ACC resumes
automatically. See "Attention
to the Road" under Super
Cruise 0 236. If necessary,
press RES+ or the accelerator
pedal to resume ACC.
If stopped for more than
two minutes or if the driver
door is opened and the driver
seat belt is unbuckled, the
ACC automatically applies the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle. The EPB
status light will turn on. See
Electric Parking Brake 0 217.
A DIC warning message may
display indicating to shift to
P (Park) before exiting the
vehicle. See Vehicle Messages
0 134.

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
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 2.5 m (8 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 the Park Assist
system can detect objects.
Keep the 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

no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, 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 backing.

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.
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
becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from
yellow to amber to red.

. The Park Assist sensors may
be covered by frost or ice.
Frost or ice can form around
and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until
the frost or ice has melted.
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 Emergency
Braking (AEB)
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
ahead in your path that is
traveling in the same direction
that you may be about to
crash into, it can provide a
boost to braking or
automatically brake the
vehicle. This can help avoid or
lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear.
Depending on the situation,
the vehicle may automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
automatic emergency braking
can only occur if a vehicle is
detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator
being lit. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System 0 270.
The system works when
driving in a forward gear
above 4km/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
crashes. 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.
. Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility,
such as in fog, rain,
or snow.

Warning (Continued)
. 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

steer the vehicle to avoid
crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential crash. 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.

Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to
crash into a pedestrian
directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB
may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This
can help to avoid some very
low speed pedestrian crashes
or reduce pedestrian injury.
FPB can automatically brake
to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic
braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such
as higher speeds.
If this happens, Automatic

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 blind zone or

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 driven on a straight
highway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly
or for a stopped vehicle. LCA
may alert to objects attached
to the vehicle, such as a
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 may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp 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
0 364. 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 light
up when moving vehicles are
in the side blind zone or rapidly
approaching this zone and the
system is clean, the system
may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
Blind Zone Steering
Assist (BZSA)
If equipped, the Blind Zone
Steering Assist (BZSA) system
can detect a potential crash
with a moving vehicle in the
lane you are entering.
It provides a brief, urgent turn
of the steering wheel to alert
you to take action to avoid a
collision.
BZSA works with the Lane
Keep Assist (LKA). BZSA
operates when the vehicle is in
a forward gear, and only when
LKA is enabled and able to
assist. See Lane Keep Assist
(LKA) 0 280.
BZSA will provide a steering
correction when your vehicle
is about to leave the current
lane of travel, with the
possibility of a collision with a
vehicle in the adjacent lane.
This steering correction
happens closer to the center
of the lane and has a stronger
steering correction than LKA.
279
Unlike LKA, the steering
correction with BSZA will
happen even if your turn signal
is on in the direction of lane
departure.
In addition to the BZSA
steering intervention, the A
will turn amber, six beeps or
six seat pulses will occur,
if equipped with Safety Alert
Seat, and 8 or | will
flash on the outside rear view
mirror.
{ Warning
Do not rely on Blind Zone
Steering Assist (BZSA) to
prevent crashes. This
system does not replace
the need to pay attention
and drive safely. Failure to
use proper care when
driving may result in
vehicle damage, injury,
or death.

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
may be ready to assist at
speeds between
80 km/h (50 mph) and 180
km/h (112 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
centered in the lane. LKA will
not assist and alert if the turn
signal 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
marker, the LDW will 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 windshield
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.

{ Warning
If LKA only detects lane
markings on one side of the
road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when
approaching 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 windshield,
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.
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
another lane. Always
monitor the trailer position
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lane
281
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
n on the center console.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. On some
vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on, n is white,
if equipped, indicating that the
system is not ready to assist.
n 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. n is amber when
assisting. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning

282
Driving and Operating
(LDW) alert by flashing n
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
take 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
If the LKA system is not
functioning properly when lane
markings are clearly visible,
cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message
may display if the camera is
blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not
work at all. An LKA or 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
windshield 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.

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
towing 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.
. State laws may require the
use of extended side view
mirrors. Even if not required,
you should install extended
side view mirrors if your
visibility is limited or
restricted while towing.
. Do not tow a trailer during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
vehicle use to prevent
damage to vehicle.
. During the first 800 km
(500 mi) of trailer towing, do
not drive over 80 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make
starts at full throttle.
. Vehicles can tow in D (Drive).
If equipped, the following
driver assistance features
should be turned off when
towing a trailer:
. 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,
unless equipped with Super
Cruise:
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
. Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
. 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), use
caution while backing up 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.
Towing a trailer requires
experience. The combination
of the vehicle and trailer is
longer and not as responsive
as the vehicle itself. Become
familiar with handling and
braking of the combination by
driving on a level road surface
before driving on public roads.
The trailer structure, the tires,
and the brakes must be all be
rated to carry the intended
cargo. 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,
tires, and mirrors. See Towing
Equipment 0 303. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start the
combination moving and then
manually apply the trailer
brake controller to check the
trailer brakes work. During the
trip, occasionally check that
the cargo 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
297
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 to help to
avoid heavy braking and
sudden turns.
Passing
More passing 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. It is
necessary to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle
before returning to the lane.
Pass on level roadways. Avoid
passing on hills if possible.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand.
To move the trailer to the left,
move that hand to the left. To

298
Driving and Operating
move the trailer to the right,
move that hand to the right.
Always back up 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 contact the vehicle.
Make wider turns than normal
when towing, so trailer will not
go over soft shoulders, over
curbs, or strike road signs,
trees, or other objects. Always
signal turns well in advance.
Do not steer or brake
suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed and maintain
gear before starting down a
long or steep downhill grade.
See Hill and Mountain Roads
0 200.
The vehicle can tow in D
(Drive).
Viewing Systems
If equipped, the viewing
systems on the vehicle can
improve visibility while
hitching, backing up, and
driving with a trailer. See
Driver Assistance Systems
0 255.
Parking on Hills
{ Warning
To prevent serious injury or
death, always park your
vehicle and trailer on a level
surface when possible.
When parking your vehicle and
your trailer on a hill:
1. Press and hold the brake
pedal, but do not shift into
P (Park). Turn the wheels
toward the curb if facing
downhill or toward 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 electric
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 vehicle.
. Shift into a gear.
. Release the parking
brake.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
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 service
more often when used to tow
trailers. See Maintenance
Schedule 0 376. It is especially
important to check the cooling
system and brake system
before and during each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts
and bolts on the trailer hitch
are tight.
Cooling the Vehicle when
Trailer Towing
The cooling system may
temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions.
See Cooling System 0 313.
Trailer Towing
Caution
Towing a trailer improperly
can damage the vehicle and
result in costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. To tow a trailer
correctly, follow the
directions in this section and
see your dealer for
important information about
towing a trailer with the
vehicle.
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
and durability. Successful, safe
trailering takes correct
equipment, and it has to be
used properly.
299
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.
Trailer Weight
{ Warning
Never exceed the towing
capacity for your vehicle.
Safe trailering requires
monitoring the weight, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside
temperature, dimensions of
the front of the trailer, and
how frequently the vehicle is
used to tow a trailer.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22

Driving and Operating
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
. Maximum Trailer Tongue
Weight Rating
. Gross Axle Weight
Rating-Rear (GAWR-RR)
See “Weight-Distributing Hitch
and Adjustment” under Towing
Equipment 0 303 to determine
if equalizer bars are required
to obtain the maximum trailer
weight rating.
See “Trailer Brakes” under
Towing Equipment 0 303 to
determine if brakes are
required based on the trailer
weight.
The only way to be sure the
weight is not exceeding any of
these ratings is to weigh the
tow 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
dealer 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
on the Tow Rating Chart
following.
Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR)
For information about the
vehicle's maximum load
capacity, see Vehicle Load
Limits 0 202. When calculating
the GVWR with a trailer
attached, the trailer tongue

Maximum Trailer Weight
LYRIQ RWD/AWD
The maximum trailer weight
rating is calculated assuming
the tow vehicle has a driver, a
front seat passenger, and all
required trailering 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.
† For trailers without trailer brakes the maximum trailer weight
is 1580 kg (3,500 lb). See Towing Equipment 0 303.
* The Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is the total
allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer
including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions.
Do not exceed the GCWR for the vehicle.
Use the tow rating chart to
determine how much the
trailer can weigh, based on the
vehicle model and options.
Maximum Trailer Tongue
Weight
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.
Do not exceed a maximum
trailer tongue weight of 159 kg
(350 lb).
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
302
Driving and Operating
The trailer tongue weight
contributes to the Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW). GVW
includes the CURB WEIGHT of
your vehicle, any passengers,
cargo, equipment and the
trailer tongue weight. Vehicle
options, passengers, cargo,
and equipment reduce the
maximum allowable tongue
weight the vehicle can carry,
which also reduces the
maximum allowable trailer
weight.
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 (1)
should be 10–15% of the
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
and calculate the trailer load
balance percentage to see if
the weights and distribution
are appropriate for your
vehicle. If the trailer weight is
too high, it may be possible to
trasfer some of the cargo into
your vehicle. If the trailer
tongue weight is too high or
too low, it may be possible to
rearrange some of the cargo
inside of 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.
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
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
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.
Rear Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR-RR)
The GAWR-RR is the total
weight that can be supported
by the rear axle of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the GAWR-RR
for the vehicle, with the tow
vehicle and trailer fully loaded
for the trip including the
weight of the trailer tongue.
If using a weight-distributing
hitch, do not exceed the
GAWR-RR before applying the
weight distribution
spring bars.
For additional assistance with
trailering or additional
information, see your dealer.
Towing Equipment
Always use the correct hitch
equipment for your vehicle.
Crosswinds, large trucks going
by, and rough roads can affect
the trailer and the hitch.
Proper hitch equipment for
your vehicle helps maintain
control of the vehicle-trailer
combination. Many trailers can
be towed using a
weight-carrying hitch with a
coupler latched to the hitch
ball, or a tow eye latched to a
pintle hook. Other trailers may
require a weight-distributing
hitch that uses spring bars to
distribute the trailer tongue
weight between your vehicle
and trailer axles. See
“Maximum Trailer Tongue
Weight Rating” under Trailer
Towing 0 299 for weight limits
with various hitch types.
Never attach rental hitches or
other bumper-type hitches.
Only use frame-mounted
hitches that do not attach to
the bumper.
303
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.
Tires
. Do not tow a trailer while
using a compact spare tire
on the vehicle.
. Tires must be properly
inflated to support loads
while towing a trailer. See
Tires 0 334 for instructions
on proper tire inflation.
Safety Chains
Always attach chains between
the vehicle and the trailer, and
attach the chains to the holes
on the trailer hitch platform.
Instructions about safety
chains may be provided by the
hitch manufacturer or by the
trailer manufacturer.
Cross the safety chains under
the tongue of the trailer to
help prevent the tongue from
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
304
Driving and Operating
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 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.
State 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 state to
state. 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 anti-lock brakes
and the trailer brakes may not
function, which could result in
a crash.
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 turn signals 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.
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.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating
If TSC is enabled, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak warning light will
flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed
by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator.
If trailer sway continues,
StabiliTrak can help slow the
vehicle down. TSC will not
function if StabiliTrak is turned
off. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control
0 221.
{ 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
trailer, unrestrained cargo,
improper trailer hitch
configuration, or improperly
inflated or incorrect vehicle
or trailer tires. See Towing
Equipment 0 303 for trailer
ratings and hitch setup
recommendations.
Trailer Tires
Special Trailer (ST) tires differ
from vehicle tires. Trailer tires
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 tire pressures are low
only based on a visual
inspection.
Always check all trailer tire
pressures before each trip
when the tires are cool. Low
trailer tire pressure is a
leading cause of trailer tire
blow-outs.
305
Trailer tires deteriorate over
time. The trailer tire sidewall
will show the week and year
the tire was manufactured.
Many trailer tire
manufacturers recommend
replacing tires more than six
years old.
Overloading is another leading
cause of trailer tire blow-outs.
Never load your trailer with
more weight than the tires are
designed to support. The load
rating is located on the trailer
tire sidewall.
Always know the maximum
speed rating for the trailer
tires before driving. This may
be significantly lower than the
vehicle tire speed rating. The
speed rating may be on the
trailer tire sidewall. If the
speed rating is not shown, the
default trailer tire speed rating
is 105 km/h (65 mph).

Cooling System
It is not necessary to regularly
check coolant unless a leak is
suspected or an unusual noise
is heard. A coolant loss could
indicate a problem. Have it
inspected and repaired by
your dealer.
During vehicle operation and
also during charging, the high
voltage battery cells in the
vehicle are kept within a
normal operating temperature
range. If the temperature rises
above this temperature, the
battery cooling system turns
on the air conditioning
compressor and cools the
coolant until the correct
temperature is reached. If the
temperature falls below this
temperature, a high voltage
313
heater, located outside the
battery on a cradle, heats the
coolant until the correct
temperature is reached.
The cooling system allows the
vehicle to maintain the correct
working temperature.
Checking Coolant
The coolant needs to be
replaced at the appropriate
interval. See Maintenance
Schedule 0 376.
The coolant reservoir is in the
underhood compartment. See
Underhood Compartment
Overview 0 312.
To access the coolant
reservoir under the hood, the
right side access cover needs
to be removed.
1. Park on a level surface and
turn the vehicle off.
2. Open the hood. See Hood
0 310.
3. The coolant reservoir is
under a cover and side
extension/shield in the
underhood compartment.
Unclip the right side of the
shield and remove the right
side access cover.

5. If the coolant level is not
visible or needs to be
adjusted within the
reservoir, contact your
dealer.
Washer Fluid
What to Use
4. After the system has
completely cooled, check
that the coolant level in the
reservoir.
When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions
before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
If the vehicle is equipped with
a washer fluid level indicator,
and the washer fluid reservoir
is low, a message displays on
the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Driver Information
Center (DIC) 0 132 for more
information.
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Underhood Compartment
Overview 0 312 for reservoir
location.
Caution
. Do not use washer fluid
that contains any type of
water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper
blades to chatter or skip.
. Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the
windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield
washer system and paint.
. Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the
solution to freeze and

Caution (Continued)
damage the washer fluid
tank and other parts of
the washer system.
. When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
. Fill the washer fluid tank
only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This
allows for fluid expansion
if freezing occurs, which
could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
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.
Caution
Continuing to drive with
worn-out brake linings could
result in costly brake repairs.
Some driving conditions or
climates can cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are
first applied, clearing up
following several applications.
This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts
are necessary to help prevent
brake pulsation. When tires
are rotated, inspect brake
linings for wear and evenly
tighten wheel nuts in the
315
proper sequence to torque
specifications. See Capacities
and Specifications 0 383.
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.
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.

Vehicle Care
Brake Fluid
The brake master cylinder
reservoir is filled with GM
approved DOT 4 brake fluid as
indicated on the reservoir cap.
See Underhood Compartment
Overview 0 312 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.
When the brake fluid falls to a
low level, the brake warning
light comes on. See Brake
System Warning Light 0 115.
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
0 376.
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 4
brake fluid from a clean, sealed
container. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0 379.
{ 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.
Caution
If brake fluid is spilled on the
vehicle's painted surfaces,
the paint finish can be
damaged. Immediately wash
off any painted surface.

Vehicle Storage
The best way to store the
vehicle for any length of time
is to plug in the charge cord
and leave it plugged in. The
vehicle monitors and maintains
the 12-volt battery daily. It is
okay to leave the vehicle
plugged in for extended
periods of time. Once charged
to full, very little energy is
required to maintain the
12-volt battery and high
voltage battery.
If it is not possible to charge
the vehicle with the charge
cord left plugged in, be sure to
fully charge the high voltage
battery before storing. The
vehicle will stop maintenance
of the 12-volt battery if the
high voltage battery state of
charge gets too low.

Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and
circuit breakers to protect
against an electrical system
overload.
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 the wires that provide
the power to the devices in
your 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.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
324
Vehicle Care
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.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Locate the fuse puller in the
underhood compartment
fuse block.
3. Use the fuse puller to
remove the fuse from the
top or side, as shown above.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
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.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the
windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will
then restart.
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 windshield before using
the windshield wipers.
325
{ 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.
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.

Every new GM vehicle has
high-quality tires made by a
leading tire manufacturer.
See the warranty manual
for information regarding
the tire warranty and
where to get service. For
additional information refer
to the tire manufacturer.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care
{ Warning
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires
are dangerous.
. Overloading the tires
can cause overheating
as a result of too much
flexing. There could be
a blowout and a serious
crash. See Vehicle Load
Limits 0 202.
. Underinflated tires
pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires
frequently to maintain
the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked
when the tires are cold.
.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Overinflated tires are
more likely to be cut,
punctured, or broken by
a sudden impact — such
as when hitting a
pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended
pressure.
. Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the
tread is badly worn,
replace them.
. Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.
. Improperly repaired
tires can cause a crash.
Only your dealer or an
authorized tire service
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.
(Continued)
335
Warning (Continued)
. Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.
All-Season Tires
This vehicle may come with
all-season tires. These tires
are designed to provide good
overall performance on most
road surfaces and weather
conditions. Original equipment
tires designed to GM's specific
tire performance criteria have
a TPC specification code
molded onto the sidewall.
Original equipment all-season
tires can be identified by the
last two characters of this
TPC code, which will be “MS.”
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on snow or ice-covered
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22

Vehicle Care
roads is expected. All-season
tires provide adequate
performance for most winter
driving conditions, but they
may not offer the same level
of traction or performance as
winter tires on snow or
ice-covered roads. See Winter
Tires 0 336.
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires.
Winter tires are designed for
increased traction on snow
and ice-covered roads.
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your
dealer for details regarding
winter tire availability and
proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires 0 350.
With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After
changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tires:
. Use tires of the same brand
and tread type on all four
wheel positions.
. Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the
original equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y, and ZR
speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
capability.
Self-Sealing Tires
This vehicle may have
self-sealing tires. These tires
have a material inside that can
seal punctures from common
road hazards, such as nails
and screws, in the tread area.
The tire may lose air pressure
if the sidewall is damaged or
the tread puncture is too
large. If the Tire Pressure
Monitor System indicates the
tire pressure is low, inspect
the tire for damage and inflate
it to the recommended
pressure. If the tire is unable
to maintain the recommended
pressure, contact the nearest
authorized GM servicing
facility immediately for
inspection and repair or
replacement. To locate the
nearest GM servicing facility,
call GM Customer Assistance.
Caution
Do not drive on a deflated
self-sealing tire as this could
damage the tire. Make sure
the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure or
have it immediately repaired
or replaced.
When tire replacement is
needed replace with a
self-sealing tire, because the

Vehicle Care
vehicle does not come with a
spare tire or tire changing
equipment.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has
265/50R20 or 275/40R22
size tires, they are
classified as low-profile
tires.
Caution
Low-profile tires are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when
coming into contact with
road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb.
The warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and when
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.

Vehicle Care
and the original equipment
tire size and recommended
inflation pressure. See “Tire
and Loading Information
Label” under Vehicle Load
Limits 0 202.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct
amount of air pressure to
operate effectively.
{ Warning
Neither tire underinflation
nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have
enough air, can result in:
. Tire overloading and
overheating, which
could lead to a blowout
. Premature or
irregular wear
. Poor handling
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
. Reduced fuel economy
for internal combustion
engine vehicles
. Reduced range for
electric vehicles
Overinflated tires, or tires
that have too much air,
can result in:
. Unusual wear
. Poor handling
. Rough ride
. Needless damage from
road hazards
The Tire and Loading
Information label on the
vehicle indicates the
original equipment tires
and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is
the minimum air pressure
needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 202.
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
tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality
pocket-type gauge to
check tire pressure. Proper
tire inflation cannot be
determined by looking at
the tire. Check the tire
inflation pressure when the
tires are cold, meaning the
vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours or
no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care
Remove the valve cap from
the tire valve stem. Press
the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire 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 center of the tire valve
to release air.
Recheck the tire pressure
with the tire gauge.
Put the valve caps back 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.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air
pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure
readings to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
Each tire, 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 tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should
343
determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature,
your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces
energy efficiency and tire

maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
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 tire
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.
When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

Operation 0 344.
See Radio Frequency
Statement 0 395.
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). The TPMS is designed
to warn the driver when a low
tire pressure condition exists.
TPMS sensors are mounted
onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare
tire and wheel assembly. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tires and
transmit the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS illuminates the low tire
pressure warning light located
on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure
shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 202.
A message to check the
pressure in a specific tire
displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
low tire pressure warning light
and the DIC warning message
come on each time the vehicle
is turned on until the tires are
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. If the vehicle has
DIC buttons, tire pressure
levels can be viewed. For
additional information and
details about the DIC
operation and displays, see
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0 132.
The low tire pressure warning
light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off
as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting
low and needs to be inflated to
the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading
Information label shows the
size of the original equipment
tires and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0 202, for an
example of the Tire and
Loading Information label and
its location. Also see Tire
Pressure 0 342.
The TPMS can warn about a
low tire pressure condition but
it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire
Inspection 0 347, Tire Rotation
0 348, and Tires 0 334.
Caution
Tire sealant materials are
not all the same.
A non-approved tire sealant
could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an
incorrect tire sealant is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tire
sealant available through
your dealer or included in
the vehicle.
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
345
tire pressure warning light
flashes for about one minute
and then stays on for the
remainder of the time the
vehicle is on. A DIC warning
message also displays. The
malfunction light and DIC
warning message will come on
each time the vehicle is turned
on until the problem is
corrected. Some of the
conditions that can cause
these to come on are:
. One of the road tires has
been replaced with the
spare tire. The spare tire
does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light
and the DIC message should
go off after the road tire is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
. The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tires. The
malfunction light and the DIC
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
346
Vehicle Care
message should go off after
successfully completing the
sensor matching process.
See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
. 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 tires or wheels
do not match the original
equipment tires or wheels.
Tires and wheels other than
those recommended could
prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See
Buying New Tires 0 350.
. 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 tire pressure
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC
message come on and stay on.
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual
and audible alerts outside the
vehicle to help when inflating
an underinflated tire to the
recommended cold tire
pressure.
When the low tire pressure
warning light comes on:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe,
level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is
underinflated. The turn
signal lamp will flash.
When the recommended
pressure is reached, the
horn sounds once and the
turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn
solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire
pressure warning light.
{ Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure listed on
the tire sidewall. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0 337 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 202.
If the tire is overinflated by
more than 35 kPa (5 psi), the
horn will sound multiple times
and the turn signal lamp will
continue to flash for several
seconds after filling stops. To
release and correct the
pressure, while the turn signal
lamp is still flashing, briefly
press the center of the valve

Vehicle Care
stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does
not flash within 15 seconds
after starting to inflate the
tire, the tire fill alert has not
been activated or is not
working.
If the hazard warning flashers
are on, the tire fill alert visual
feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the
tire 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 tire.
. There is a malfunction in
the TPMS.
. There is a malfunction in the
horn or turn signal lamps.
. The identification code of
the TPMS sensor is not
registered to the system.
. The battery of the TPMS
sensor is low.
If the tire 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
tire fill alert feature is not
working, use a tire pressure
gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process — Auto Learn
Function
Each TPMS sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code needs to be
matched to a new tire/wheel
position after rotating the
tires or replacing one or more
of the TPMS sensors. When a
tire is installed, the vehicle
must be stationary for about
20 minutes before the system
recalculates. The following
relearn process takes up to
347
10 minutes, driving at a
minimum speed of 20 km/h
(12 mph). A dash (-) or pressure
value will display in the DIC.
See Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0 132. A warning
message displays in the DIC if
a problem occurs during the
relearn process.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that the
tires, including the spare
tire, if the vehicle has one,
be inspected for signs of
wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tire if:
. The indicators at three or
more places around the
tire can be seen.
. There is cord or fabric
showing through the
tire's rubber.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
348
Vehicle Care
The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
. The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.
. The tire has a puncture,
cut, or other damage that
cannot be repaired well
because of the size or
location of the damage.
.
Tire Rotation
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires 0 349
and Wheel Replacement
0 354.
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
listed in the maintenance
schedule. See Maintenance
Schedule 0 376.
Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure 0 342
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 202.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0 344.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0 383.
Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important.
{ Warning
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires.
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 later to
remove all rust or dirt.
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 come off,
resulting in a crash.
Lightly coat the inner
diameter of the wheel hub
opening with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel
change or tire rotation to
prevent corrosion or rust
build-up.
When It Is Time for
New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear
rate of the tires.
349
Treadwear indicators are one
way to tell when it is time for
new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See
Tire Inspection 0 347 and
Tire Rotation 0 348.
The rubber in tires ages over
time. This also applies to the
spare tire, if the vehicle has
one, even if it is never used.
Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading
conditions, and inflation
pressure maintenance affect
how fast aging takes place.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
350
Vehicle Care
GM recommends that tires,
including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread
wear. To identify the age of a
tire, use the tire manufacture
date, which is the last four
digits of the DOT Tire
Identification Number (TIN)
molded into one side of the
tire sidewall. The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the
tire manufactured date. The
first two digits represent 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 through
Saturday) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tires 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
aging. This area should be free
of grease, gasoline, or other
substances that can
deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended
period can cause flat spots on
the tires that may result in
vibrations while driving. When
storing a vehicle for at least a
month, remove the tires or
raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tires.
Buying New Tires
GM has developed and
matched specific tires for
the vehicle. The original
equipment tires installed
were designed to meet
General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec)
system rating. When
replacement tires are
needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tires
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 tire pressure
monitoring performance.
GM's TPC Spec number is
molded onto the tire's
sidewall near the tire size.
If the tires have an
all-season tread design, the
TPC Spec number will be
followed by MS for mud
and snow. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0 337 for
additional information.
GM recommends replacing
worn tires in complete sets
of four. Uniform tread
depth on all tires will help
to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling

Vehicle Care
performance may be
adversely affected if all the
tires are not replaced at
the same time. If proper
rotation and maintenance
have been done, all four
tires should wear out at
about the same time.
However, if it is necessary
to replace only one axle set
of worn tires, place the
new tires on the rear axle.
See Tire Rotation 0 348.
{ Warning
Tires could explode
during improper service.
Attempting to mount or
dismount a tire could
cause injury or death.
Only your dealer or
authorized tire service
center should mount or
dismount the tires.
{ Warning
Mixing tires of different
sizes (other than those
originally installed on the
vehicle), brands, tread
patterns, or types may
cause loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a
crash or other vehicle
damage. Use the correct
size, brand, and type of
tire on all wheels.
{ Warning
Using bias-ply tires on
the vehicle may cause the
wheel rim flanges to
develop cracks after
many miles of driving.
A tire and/or wheel could
fail suddenly and cause a
crash. Use only radial-ply
tires with the wheels on
the vehicle.
351
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y and
ZR speed rated tires. Never
exceed the winter tires’
maximum speed capability
when using winter tires
with a lower speed rating.
If the vehicle tires must be
replaced with a tire 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 tires.
The Tire and Loading

Vehicle Care
Different Size Tires
and Wheels
If wheels or tires are installed
that are a different size than
the original equipment wheels
and tires, 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
tires not recommended for
those wheels are selected.
This increases the chance of
a crash and serious injury.

Warning (Continued)
Only use GM specific wheel
and tire systems developed
for the vehicle, and have
them properly installed by a
GM certified technician.

Uniform Tire Quality
Grading
The following information
relates to the system
developed by the United
States National Highway
Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA),
which grades tires by
treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance.
This applies only to
vehicles sold in the United
States. The grades are
molded on the sidewalls of
most passenger car tires.
The Uniform Tire Quality
Grading (UTQG) system
does not apply to deep
tread, winter tires, compact
spare tires, tires with
nominal rim diameters of
10 to 12 inches
(25 to 30 cm), or to some
limited-production tires.
While the tires available on
General Motors passenger
cars and light trucks may
vary with respect to these
grades, they must also
conform to federal safety
requirements and
additional General Motors
Tire Performance Criteria
(TPC) standards.
Quality grades can be
found where applicable on
the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and
maximum section width.
For example:
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care
Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
All Passenger Car Tires
Must Conform to Federal
Safety Requirements In
Addition To These Grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based
on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under
controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1½) times as
well on the government
course as a tire graded
100. The relative
performance of tires
depends upon the actual
conditions of their use,
however, and may depart
significantly from the norm
due to variations in driving
habits, service practices
and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from
highest to lowest, are AA,
A, B, and C. Those grades
represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement
as measured under
controlled conditions on
specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction
performance. Warning: The
traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not
include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction
characteristics.
353
Temperature
The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire's
resistance to the
generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat
when tested under
controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the
material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive
temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which
all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal
Motor Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the
laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
354
Vehicle Care
law. Warning: The
temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire
that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in
combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible
tire failure.
Wheel Alignment and
Tire Balance
The tires and wheels were
aligned and balanced at the
factory to provide the longest
tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to
wheel alignment and tire
balancing are not necessary
on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is
unusual tire 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
tires 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 aluminum wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
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 Tire 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. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.

If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow
out while driving, especially if
the tires are maintained
properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. See Tires
0 334 for additional
information. But if there ever
is a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
creates a drag that pulls the
vehicle toward that side. Take
355
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.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0 336. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing
equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside Service
0 388 for help.

Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill
are important to your dealer
and to Cadillac. Normally, any
concerns with the sales
transaction or the operation
of the vehicle will be resolved
by your dealer's sales or
service departments.
Sometimes, however, despite
the best intentions of all
concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has
not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following
steps should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your
concern with a member of
dealership management.
Normally, concerns can be
quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales,
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 3/2/22
Customer Information
service or parts manager,
contact the owner of your
dealership or the general
manager.
STEP TWO : If after
contacting a member of
dealership management, it
appears your concern cannot
be resolved by your dealership
without further help, in the
U.S., call the Cadillac Customer
Assistance Center at 1-800–
458–8006. In Canada, call the
Canadian Cadillac Customer
Care Centre at
1-888-446-2000.
We encourage you to call the
toll-free number in order to
give your inquiry prompt
attention. Have the following
information available to give
the Customer Assistance
representative:
. Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). This is
available from the vehicle
registration or title, or the
plate at the top left of the
instrument panel and visible
through the windshield.
. Dealership name and
location.
. Vehicle delivery date and
present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac,
remember that your concern
will likely be resolved at a
dealer's facility. That is why we
suggest following Step One
first.
STEP THREE — U.S.
Owners : Both General
Motors and your dealer are
committed to making sure you
are completely satisfied with
the new vehicle. However,
if you continue to remain
unsatisfied after following the
procedure outlined in
Steps One and Two, you can
file with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB) AUTO LINE
Program to enforce your
rights.
385
The BBB AUTO LINE Program
is an out-of-court program
administered by BBB National
Programs, Inc. to settle
automotive disputes regarding
vehicle repairs or the
interpretation of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Although you may be required
to resort to this informal
dispute resolution program
prior to filing a court action,
use of the program is free of
charge and your case will
generally be heard within
40 days. If you do not agree
with the decision given in your
case, you may reject it and
proceed with any other venue
for relief available to you.
You may contact the BBB
AUTO LINE Program using the
toll-free telephone number or
write them at the following
address:

This program is available in all
50 states and the District of
Columbia. Eligibility is limited
by vehicle age, mileage, and
other factors. General Motors
reserves the right to change
eligibility limitations and/or
discontinue its participation in
this program.
STEP THREE — Canadian
Owners : In the event that you
do not feel your concerns
have been addressed after
following the procedure
outlined in Steps One and
Two, General Motors of
Canada Company wants you
to be aware of its participation
in a no-charge mediation/
arbitration program. General
Motors of Canada Company
has committed to binding
arbitration of owner disputes
involving factory-related
vehicle service claims. The
program provides for the
review of the facts involved by
an impartial third party arbiter,
and may include an informal
hearing before the arbiter. The
program is designed so that
the entire dispute settlement
process, from the time you file
your complaint to the final
decision, should be completed
in about 70 days. We believe
our impartial program offers
advantages over courts in
most jurisdictions because it is
informal, quick, and free of
charge.
For further information
concerning eligibility in the
Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP),
call toll-free 1-800-207-0685,

for parts and labor for
repairs not covered by the
warranty are the owner
responsibility.
Scheduling Service
Appointments
When the vehicle requires
warranty service, contact your
dealer and request an
appointment. By scheduling a
service appointment and
advising the service
consultant of your
transportation needs, your
dealer can help minimize your
inconvenience.
If the vehicle cannot be
scheduled into the service
department immediately, keep
driving it until it can be
scheduled for service, unless,
of course, the problem is
safety related. If it is, please
call your dealership, let them
know this, and ask for
instructions.
If your dealer requests you to
bring the vehicle for service,
you are urged to do so as
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 3/2/22

early in the work day as

coverage information.
Transportation Options
To enhance your ownership
experience, we and our
participating dealers are proud
to offer Courtesy
Transportation, a customer
support program for vehicles
with the Bumper-to-Bumper
(Base Warranty Coverage
period in Canada), Federal
Emission, Extended
Powertrain or Electric specific
warranties in both the U.S. and
Canada.
Warranty service can
generally be completed while
you wait. However, if you are
unable to do so, your dealer
may offer the following
transportation options:
Several Courtesy
Transportation options are
available to assist in reducing
inconvenience when warranty
repairs are required.
Public Transportation or Fuel
Reimbursement
Courtesy Transportation is
not a part of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. A separate
Shuttle Service
This includes one-way or
round-trip shuttle service
within reasonable time and
distance parameters of your
dealer's area.
If overnight warranty repairs
are needed, and public
transportation is used, the
expense must be supported
by original receipts and within
the maximum amount allowed
391
by GM. If U.S. customers
arrange their own
transportation, limited
reimbursement for reasonable
fuel expenses may be
available. Claim amounts
should reflect actual costs and
be supported by original
receipts. See your dealer for
information.
Courtesy Rental Vehicle
For an overnight warranty
repair, the dealer may provide
an available courtesy rental
vehicle or provide for
reimbursement of a rental
vehicle. Reimbursement is
limited and must be supported
by original receipts as well as
a signed and completed rental
agreement and meet state/
provincial, local, and rental
vehicle provider requirements.
Requirements vary and may
include minimum age
requirements, insurance
coverage, credit card, etc.
Additional fees such as fuel,
rental vehicle insurance, taxes,

Collision Damage
Repair
If the vehicle is involved in a
collision and it is damaged,
have the damage repaired by
a qualified technician using the
proper equipment and quality
replacement parts. Poorly
performed collision repairs
diminish the vehicle resale
value, and safety performance
can be compromised in
subsequent collisions.
Collision Parts
Genuine GM Collision parts
are new parts made with the
same materials and
construction methods as the
parts with which the vehicle
was originally built. Genuine
GM Collision parts are the
best choice to ensure that the
vehicle's designed
appearance, durability, and
safety are preserved. The use
of Genuine GM parts can help
maintain the GM New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Recycled original equipment
parts may also be used for
repair. These parts are
typically removed from
vehicles that were total losses
in prior crashes. In most cases,
the parts being recycled are
from undamaged sections of
the vehicle. A recycled original
equipment GM part may be an
acceptable choice to maintain
the vehicle's originally
designed appearance and
safety performance; however,
the history of these parts is
not known. Such parts are not
covered by the GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and
any related failures are not
covered by that warranty.
Aftermarket collision parts are
also available. These are made
by companies other than GM
and may not have been tested
for the vehicle. As a result,
these parts may fit poorly,
exhibit premature durability/
corrosion problems, and may
not perform properly in
subsequent collisions.
Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) 2023 - CRC - 3/2/22
Customer Information
Aftermarket parts are not
covered by the GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and
any vehicle failure related to
such parts is not covered by
that warranty.
Repair Facility
GM also recommends that you
choose a collision repair
facility that meets your needs
before you ever need collision
repairs. Your dealer may have
a collision repair center with
GM-trained technicians and
state-of-the-art equipment,
or be able to recommend a
collision repair center that has
GM-trained technicians and
comparable equipment.
Insuring the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the
GM vehicle with
comprehensive and collision
insurance coverage. There are
significant differences in the
quality of coverage afforded
by various insurance policy
terms. Many insurance policies
provide reduced protection to
the GM vehicle by limiting
compensation for damage
repairs by using aftermarket
collision parts. Some insurance
companies will not specify
aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance,
we recommend that you
ensure that the vehicle will be
repaired with GM original
equipment collision parts.
If such insurance coverage is
not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer
replacement parts. Read the
lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.
393
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help.
Do not leave the scene of a
crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a
police officer.
Give only the necessary
information to police and other
parties involved in the crash.
For emergency towing see
Roadside Service 0 388.
Gather the following
information:
. Driver name, address, and
telephone number
. Driver license number
. Owner name, address, and
telephone number
. Vehicle license plate number
. Vehicle make, model, and
model year
. Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN)

If the vehicle is damaged from
a crash, flood, fire, or other
event it may be necessary to
have the vehicle inspected.
SeeBattery - North America
0 317 for important safety
information.
Managing the Vehicle
Damage Repair Process
In the event that the vehicle
requires damage repairs, GM
recommends that you take an
active role in its repair. If you
have a pre-determined repair
facility of choice, take the
vehicle there, or have it towed
there. Specify to the facility
that any required replacement
collision parts be original
equipment parts, either new
Genuine GM parts or recycled
original GM parts. Remember,
recycled parts will not be
covered by the GM vehicle
warranty.
Insurance pays the bill for the
repair, but you must live with
the repair. Depending on your
policy limits, your insurance
company may initially value the
repair using aftermarket parts.
Discuss this with the repair
professional, and insist on
Genuine GM parts. Remember,
if the vehicle is leased, you
may be obligated to have the
vehicle repaired with Genuine
GM parts, even if your
insurance coverage does not
pay the full cost.
If another party's insurance
company is paying for the
repairs, you are not obligated
to accept a repair valuation
based on that insurance
company's collision policy
repair limits, as you have no
contractual limits with that
company. In such cases, you
can have control of the repair
and parts choices as long as
the cost stays within
reasonable limits.

Vehicle Data
Recording and
Privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record
information about the vehicle’s
performance and how it is
driven or used. For example,
the vehicle uses computer
modules to monitor and
control electric drive unit
performance, to monitor the
conditions for airbag
deployment and to deploy
them in a crash, and,
if equipped, to provide antilock
braking to help the driver
control the vehicle. These
modules may store data to
help the dealer technician
service the vehicle or to help
GM improve safety or
features. Some modules may
also store data about how the
vehicle is operated, such as
rate of energy consumption or
average speed. These
modules may retain personal
preferences, such as radio
presets, seat positions, and
temperature settings.
Cybersecurity
GM collects information about
the use of your vehicle
including operational and
safety related information. We

protection of vehicle
electronics systems and
customer data from

important to GM. GM
maintains appropriate security

at defending the vehicle and
the vehicle service ecosystem
against unauthorized

Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with
an Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such
as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically
30 seconds or less. The EDR in
this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
. How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
. Whether or not the driver
and passenger safety belts
were buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver
was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
. How fast the vehicle was
traveling.
These data can help provide a
better understanding of the
circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving
conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are
recorded. However, other
parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an
EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed.
In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment,
can read the information if
they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access these data
or share it with others except:
with the consent of the vehicle
owner or, if the vehicle is
leased, with the consent of the
lessee; in response to an
official request by police or
similar government office; as
part of GM's defense of
litigation through the
discovery process; or, as
permitted by law. Data that
GM collects or receives may
also be used for GM research
needs or may be made
available to others for
research purposes, where a
need is shown and the data is
not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner.

Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a
vehicle electrical system,
wireless service, and GPS
satellite technologies to be
available and operating for
features to function properly.
These systems may not
operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.

OnStar
Add-on Electrical
Equipment
The OnStar system is
integrated into the electrical
architecture of the vehicle. Do
not add any electrical
equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0 306.
Added electrical equipment
may interfere with the
operation of the OnStar
system and cause it to not
operate.
Vehicle Software Updates
OnStar or GM may remotely
deliver software updates or
changes to the vehicle without
further notice or consent.
These updates or changes
may enhance or maintain
safety, security, or the
operation of the vehicle or the
vehicle systems. Software
updates or changes may
affect or erase data or
settings that are stored in the
vehicle, such as saved
navigation destinations or
pre-set radio stations. Neither
OnStar nor GM is responsible
for any affected or erased
data or settings. These
updates or changes may also
collect personal information.
Such collection is described in
the OnStar privacy statement
or separately disclosed at the
time of installation. These
updates or changes may also
cause a system to
automatically communicate
with GM servers to collect
information about vehicle
system status, identify
whether updates or changes
are available, or deliver
updates or changes. An active
OnStar agreement constitutes
consent to these software
updates or changes and
agreement that either OnStar
or GM may remotely deliver
them to the vehicle.
