Power Sounder, Inclination
Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system features, this
system may also have an inclination
sensor, an intrusion sensor, and power
sounder.
The power sounder provides an
audible alarm that is different from
the vehicle's horn. It has its own
power source, and can sound an alarm
when the vehicle's battery is
compromised.
If the vehicle battery must be
disconnected, first deactivate the
power sounder. See “Vehicle Storage”
under Battery in Battery 0 303.
The inclination sensor can set off the
alarm if it senses movement of the
vehicle, such as a change in vehicle
orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior, and can set off the
alarm if it senses an unauthorised
entry into the vehicle's interior. Do not
allow passengers or pets to remain in
the vehicle when the intrusion sensor
is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent
system and activating the intrusion
sensor:
. Make sure all doors and windows
are completely closed.
. Secure any loose items such as a
sunvisors.
. Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors in the front
overhead console.

disabled until the next time the alarm
system is armed.
Steering Column Lock
If equipped, the steering column lock
is a theft-deterrent device. This
feature locks the steering column
when the vehicle is turned off and the
driver door is opened, or when the
driver door is opened and then the
vehicle is turned off. The steering
column unlocks when the vehicle is
turned on.

may display one of these messages:
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
KEYS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS
. A message to service the steering
column lock indicates that an issue
has been detected with the column
lock feature and the vehicle should
be serviced.
. A message that the steering column
is locked indicates that the engine
is running, but the steering column
is still locked. It is normal for the
column to be locked during a
remote start, but the column should
unlock after the brake pedal is
depressed and the vehicle is started.
No message will display during a
remote start.
. A message that the steering wheel
must be turned and the vehicle
must be started again indicates that
the column lock mechanism is
engaged, the column locking device
was unable to unlock the steering
column, and the vehicle did not
start. If this happens, immediately
turn the steering wheel from side to
side to disengage the column lock.
If this does not unlock the steering
column, turn the vehicle off and
open the driver door to reset the
system. Then turn the vehicle on
and immediately turn the steering
wheel from side to side for about
15 seconds. In some cases,
significant force may be needed to
disengage the column.

to do.
{ Warning
Do not let anyone travel where a
seat belt cannot be worn properly.
In a crash, if you or your
passenger(s) are not wearing seat
belts, injuries can be much worse
than if you are wearing seat belts.
You can be seriously injured or
killed by hitting things inside the
vehicle harder or by being ejected
from the vehicle. In addition,
anyone who is not buckled up can
strike other passengers in the
vehicle.

Why Seat Belts Work
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 travel in
any area of the vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts.
Always wear a seat belt, and check
that all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too.
This vehicle has indicators as a
reminder to fasten the seat belts. See
Seat Belt Reminders 0 103.
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as
fast as the vehicle does. If the vehicle
stops suddenly, you keep going until
something stops you. It could be the
windscreen, the instrument panel,
or the seat belts!
When you wear a seat belt, you and
the vehicle slow down together. There
is more time to stop because you stop
over a longer distance and, when worn
properly, your strongest bones take
the force of the seat belts. That is why
wearing seat belts makes such good
sense.

Questions and Answers About
Seat Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle
after a crash if I am wearing a
seat belt?
A: You could be — whether you are
wearing a seat belt or not. Your
chances of being conscious during
and after a crash, so you can
unbuckle and get out, are much
greater if you are belted.
Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why
should I have to wear seat belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental systems
only. They work with the seat belts
— not instead of them. Whether or
not an airbag is provided, all
occupants still have to buckle up to
get the most protection.
Also the law in nearly every region
requires seat belts to be worn.
How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly
Follow these rules for everyone's
protection.
There are additional things to know
about seat belts and children,
including smaller children and infants.
If a child will be riding in the vehicle,
see Older Children 0 65 or
Infants and Young Children 0 66.
Review and follow the rules for
children in addition to the following
rules.
It is very important for all occupants
to buckle up. Statistics show that
unbelted people are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are wearing
seat belts.
There are important things to know
about wearing a seat belt properly.
. Sit up straight and always keep your
feet on the floor in front of you (if
possible).
. Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just touching
the thighs. In a crash, this applies
force to the strong pelvic bones and
you would be less likely to slide
under the lap belt. If you slid under
it, the belt would apply force on
your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
. Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining forces.
The shoulder belt locks if there is a
sudden stop or crash.

{ Warning
The seat belt can be pinched if it is
routed under plastic trim on the
seat, such as trim around the rear
backrest folding handle or side
airbag. In a crash, pinched seat
belts might not provide adequate
protection. Never allow seat belts to
be routed under plastic trim pieces.
Lap-Shoulder Belt
All seating positions in the vehicle
have a lap-shoulder belt.
The following instructions explain
how to wear a lap-shoulder belt
properly.
1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is
adjustable, so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see "Seats" in
the Index.
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.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make
sure it is secure.
Position the release button on the
buckle so that the seat belt could
be quickly unbuckled if necessary.
4. If equipped with a shoulder belt
height adjuster, move it to the
height that is right for you. See
“Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster”

Always stow the seat belt slowly. If the
seat belt webbing returns quickly to
the stowed position, the retractor may
lock and cannot be pulled out. If this
happens, pull the seat belt straight out
firmly to unlock the webbing, and
then release it. If the webbing is still
locked in the retractor, see your
retailer.
5. To make the lap part tight, pull up
on the shoulder belt.
Before a door is closed, be sure the
seat belt is out of the way. If a door is
slammed against a seat belt, damage
can occur to both the seat belt and
the vehicle.
Shoulder Belt Height Adjuster
The vehicle has a shoulder belt height
adjuster for the driver and front
outboard passenger seating positions.
Adjust the height so that the shoulder
portion of the belt is on the shoulder
and not falling off of it. The belt
should be close to, but not contacting,
the neck. Improper shoulder belt
height adjustment could reduce the
Press and hold the release button
while raising or lowering the height
adjuster to the desired position.
After the height adjuster is set to the

Seat Belt Pretensioners
This vehicle has seat belt
pretensioners for front row and
second row outboard occupants.

cannot be seen, they are part of the
seat belt assembly. They can help
tighten the seat belts during the early
stages of a moderate to severe frontal,
near frontal, or rear crash if the
threshold conditions for pretensioner
activation are met. Seat belt
pretensioners can also help tighten
the seat belts in a side crash or
roll-over event.
Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like all
occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear
seat belts.
Pretensioners work only once. If the
pretensioners activate in a crash, the
pretensioners and probably other
parts of the vehicle's seat belt system
will need to be replaced. See Replacing
Seat Belt System Parts after a Crash
0 55.
Do not sit on the outboard seat belt
while entering or exiting the vehicle or
at any time while sitting in the seat.
Sitting on the seat belt can damage
the webbing and hardware.
A pregnant woman should wear a
lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion
should be worn as low as possible,
below the rounding, throughout the
pregnancy.
The best way to protect the foetus is
to protect the mother. When a seat
belt is worn properly, it is less likely
that the foetus will be hurt in a crash.
For pregnant women, as for anyone,
the key to making seat belts effective
is to wear them properly.
Safety System Check
Periodically check the seat belt
reminder, seat belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, shoulder belt height
adjusters (if equipped) and seat belt
anchorages to make sure they 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
it by reversing the latch plate on the
webbing. If the twist cannot be
corrected, ask your retailer to fix it.
Make sure the seat belt reminder light
is working. See Seat Belt Reminders

All vehicle airbags have the word
AIRBAG on the trim or on a label near
the deployment opening.
For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG
is on the centre of the steering wheel
for the driver and on the instrument

For seat-mounted side impact airbags,
the word AIRBAG is on the side of the
backrest or side of the seat closest to
the door.
For roof-rail airbags, the word AIRBAG
is on the ceiling or trim.
Airbags are designed to supplement
the protection provided by seat belts.
Even though today's airbags are also

eye, anyone who is up against,
or very close to, an airbag when it
inflates can be seriously injured or
killed. Do not sit unnecessarily
close to any airbag, as you would be
if sitting on the edge of the seat or
leaning forward. Seat belts help
keep you in position before and
during a crash. Always wear a seat
belt, even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. The seat belts and the
front outboard passenger airbags
are most effective when you are
sitting well back and upright in the
seat with both feet on the floor.

This vehicle is equipped with airbags.
See Airbag System 0 55. Airbags are
designed to inflate if the impact

thresholds are used to predict how
severe a crash is likely to be in time
for the airbags to inflate and help

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
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 or near
frontal crashes to help reduce the
potential for severe injuries, mainly to
the driver's or front outboard
passenger's head and chest.
Whether the frontal airbags will or
should inflate is not based primarily
on how fast the vehicle is travelling.
It depends on what is hit, the
direction of the impact, and how
quickly the vehicle slows down.
Frontal airbags may inflate at
different crash speeds depending on
whether the vehicle hits an object
straight on or at an angle, and
whether the object is fixed or moving,
rigid or deformable, narrow or wide.
Frontal airbags are not intended to
inflate during vehicle rollovers, rear
impacts, or many side impacts.

either side of the vehicle is struck,
if the sensing system predicts that the
vehicle is about to roll over on its
side, or in a severe frontal impact.
Knee airbags are designed to inflate in
moderate to severe frontal or
near-frontal impacts. Knee airbags are
not designed to inflate during vehicle
rollovers, in rear impacts, or in many
side impacts.
In any particular crash, no one can
say whether an airbag should have
inflated simply because of the vehicle
damage or the repair costs.
Seat-mounted side impact airbags are
designed to inflate in moderate to
severe side crashes depending on the
location of the impact. Seat-mounted
side impact airbags are not designed
to inflate in frontal impacts, near
frontal impacts, 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 are designed to 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 will inflate when
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 57.
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
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
60
SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
moderate to severe side collisions,
even belted occupants can contact the
inside of the vehicle.
What Will You See after an
Airbag Inflates?
Airbags supplement the protection
provided by seat belts by distributing
the force of the impact more evenly
over the occupant's body.
After frontal, knee, and seat-mounted
side impact airbags inflate, they
quickly deflate, so quickly that some
people may not even realise the
airbags inflated. Roof-rail airbags may
still be at least partially inflated for
some time after deployment. Some
components of the airbag module may
be hot for several minutes. For
location of the airbags, see Where Are
the Airbags? 0 57.
Rollover capable roof-rail airbags are
designed to help contain the head and
chest of occupants in the outboard
seating positions in the first and
second rows. The rollover capable
roof-rail airbags are designed to help
reduce the risk of full or partial
ejection in rollover events, although
no system can prevent all such
ejections.
But airbags would not help in many
types of collisions, primarily because
the occupant's motion is not toward
those airbags. See When Should an
Airbag Inflate? 0 58.
Airbags should never be regarded as
anything more than a supplement to
seat belts.
The parts of the airbag that come into
contact with you may be warm, but
not too hot to touch. There may be
some smoke and dust coming from
the vents in the deflated airbags.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the
driver from seeing out of the
windscreen or being able to steer the
vehicle, nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{ Warning
When an airbag inflates, there may
be dust in the air. This dust could
cause breathing problems for
people with a history of asthma or
other breathing trouble. To avoid
this, everyone should leave the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so. If you have breathing problems
but cannot get out of the vehicle
after an airbag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or a
door. If you experience breathing
problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
The vehicle has a feature that may
automatically unlock the doors, turn
on the interior lamps and hazard
warning lights, and shut off the fuel
system after the airbags inflate. The
feature may also activate, without
airbag inflation, after an event that
exceeds a predetermined threshold.
After turning the ignition off and then
on again, the fuel system will return
to normal operation; the doors can be

flashers can be turned off using the
controls for those features. If any of
these systems are damaged in the
crash they may not operate as normal.
{ Warning
A crash severe enough to inflate the
airbags may have also damaged
important functions in the vehicle,
such as the fuel system, brake and
steering systems, etc. Even if the
vehicle appears to be drivable after
a moderate crash, there may be
concealed damage that could make
it difficult to safely operate the
vehicle.
Use caution if you should attempt
to restart the engine after a crash

Airbag On-Off Switch
If the instrument panel has the switch
pictured in the following illustration,
the vehicle has an airbag on-off switch
that you can use to manually turn the
front outboard passenger airbag on or
off. No other airbag is affected by the
airbag on-off switch.
This switch should only be turned to
the OFF position if the person in the
front outboard passenger position
belongs to a category indicated in this
section:
Infant. An infant (less than 1 year
old) must travel in the front seat
because:
. My vehicle has no rear seat;
. My vehicle has a rear seat too small
to accommodate a rear-facing infant
seat; or
. The infant has a medical condition

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

. Can proper seat belt fit be
maintained for the length of the
trip? If yes, continue. If no, return
to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear
seat belts?
Older children who have outgrown
booster seats should wear the vehicle's
seat belts.
The manufacturer instructions that
come with the booster seat state the
weight and height limitations for that
booster. Use a booster seat with a
lap-shoulder belt until the child
passes the fit test below:
. Sit all the way back on the seat. Do
the knees bend at the seat edge? If
yes, continue. If no, return to the
booster seat.
A: An older child should wear a
lap-shoulder belt and get the
additional restraint a shoulder belt
can provide. The shoulder belt
should not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit snugly
below the hips, just touching the
top of the thighs. This applies belt
force to the child's pelvic bones in
a crash. It should never be worn
over the abdomen, which could
cause severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash.

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
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.
The instruction manual that is
provided with the child restraint
states the weight and height
limitations for that particular child
restraint. In addition, there are many
kinds of child restraints available for
children with special needs.
{ Warning
To reduce the risk of neck and head
injury in a crash, infants and
toddlers should be secured in a

Warning (Continued)
rear-facing child restraint until age
two, or until they reach the
maximum height and weight limits
of their child restraint.
{ Warning
A young child's hip bones are still
so small that the vehicle seat belt
may not remain low on the hip
bones, as it should. Instead, it may
settle up around the child's
abdomen. In a crash, the belt would
apply force on a body area that is
unprotected by any bony structure.
This alone could cause serious or
fatal injuries. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries during a
crash, young children should always
be secured in an appropriate child
restraint.
Child Restraint Systems
Infants and children should be placed
in the rear seat and properly
restrained, according to the terms in
this manual.
A young child's hip bones are so small
that the vehicle's regular seat belt may
not remain low on the hip bones, as it
should. Instead, there is a possibility
that it will load the abdomen and
cause serious or fatal injury in a
crash.

. Is suitable for your vehicle.
Selecting the Right Child
Restraint
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint.
Children should travel facing rearward
in the vehicle to as late an age as
possible. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of a crash.
General Motors recommends using a
genuine GM child restraint.
Ensure that the child restraint to be
installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Make sure that the mounting location
of the child restraint within the
vehicle is correct as per the tables
included in this manual. See Where to
Put the Restraint 0 71.
The provisions established by the laws
have priority over the provisions of
this manual.
{ Danger
Never use a single seat belt with an
adult and a child. During an impact,
the seat belt will exert strong
pressure on the child, causing
serious or fatal injury.

Danger (Continued)
{ Danger
Never allow two children to share
the same seat belt. Both could
suffer serious injuries in a crash.
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it;
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
{ Danger
Infants and children must never be
carried on the lap of another
occupant.
Although an infant does not weigh
much, it will be so heavy during a
crash that it will be impossible to
hold it, even if the occupant is
attached to the seat belt.

{ Danger
Where to Put the Restraint
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint secured in a rear
seating position.
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.
When using a child restraint on the
front passenger seat, the airbag
systems for the front passenger seat
must be deactivated; if not, the
triggering of the airbags poses a
risk of fatal injury to the child.
This is especially the case if
rear-facing child restraints are used
on the front passenger seat.

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 ISOFIX
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.

3. Try to move the head restraint to
make sure that it is locked in place.
Securing Child Restraints
(With the Seat Belt in the
Rear Seat)
When securing a child restraint with
the seat belts in a rear seat position,
study the instructions that came with
the child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the ISOFIX
system, see ISOFIX Child Restraint
Systems 0 77 for how and where to
install the child restraint using
ISOFIX. If a child restraint is secured
in the vehicle using a seat belt and it
uses a top tether, see ISOFIX Child
Restraint Systems 0 77 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 state that the top tether
must be anchored.
If the child restraint or vehicle seat
position does not have the ISOFIX
system, you will be using the seat belt
to secure the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint.
If more than one child restraint needs
to be installed in the rear seat, be sure
to read Where to Put the Restraint 0 71.
1. Put the child restraint on the seat.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the
lap and shoulder portions of the
vehicle seat belt through or around
the child restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show
you how.
3. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child
restraint, so that the seat belt can
be quickly unbuckled if necessary.
The push button used to release
the catch plate must be visible and
not obscured by the child restraint.
There must not be direct contact
between the child restraint and the
push button.
4. Follow the instructions in the child
restraint owner's manual to tighten
and lock the child restraint using
the vehicle seat belt.
5. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top tether.
See ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 77.
6. Before placing a child in the child
restraint, make sure it is securely
held in place. Refer to your child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
To remove the child restraint, follow
the instructions in the child restraint
owner's manual to unlock it. Unfasten
the vehicle seat belt and let it return
to the stowed position. If the top
tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
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 71.
There may be a switch on the
instrument panel that you can use to
turn off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag. See Airbag On-Off
Switch 0 61 for more information,
including important safety
information.
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.
81
{ Danger
Warning (Continued)
When using a child restraint on the
front passenger seat, the airbag
systems for the front passenger seat
must be deactivated; if not, the
triggering of the airbags poses a
risk of fatal injury to the child.
Even if the airbag switch has turned
off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe.
No one can guarantee that an
airbag will not deploy under some
unusual circumstance, even though
it is turned off.
This is especially the case if
rear-facing child restraints are used
on the front passenger seat.
{ Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the front outboard
passenger airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing
child restraint would be very close
to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the
front outboard passenger airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is in
a forward position.
(Continued)
Secure rear-facing child restraints
in a rear seat, even if the airbag is
off. If you secure a forward-facing
child restraint in the front outboard
passenger seat, always move the
seat as far back as it will go. It is
better to secure the child restraint
in a rear seat.
{ Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. For example, the
front outboard passenger frontal

airbag could inflate even though
the airbag on-off switch is
turned off.
To help avoid injury to yourself or
others, have the vehicle serviced
right away. See Airbag Readiness
Light 0 104 for more information,
including important safety
information.
If the child restraint uses a top tether,
see ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 77 for top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child restraint in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether must be anchored, or if
the instructions that come with the
child restraint say that the top tether
must be anchored.
When using the lap-shoulder belt to
secure the child restraint in this
position, follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint and the
following instructions:
1. Move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing the
forward-facing child restraint. Move
the seat upward or the backrest to
an upright position, if needed, to
get a tight installation of the child
restraint.
The push button used to release
the catch plate must be visible and
not obscured by the child restraint.
There must not be direct contact
between the child restraint and the
push button.
When the airbag off switch has
turned off the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag, the off
indicator in the airbag off light
should illuminate and remain
illuminated when you start the
vehicle. See Airbag On-Off Light
0 105.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Pick up the latch plate, and run the
lap and shoulder portions of the
vehicle seat belt through or around
the child restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show
you how.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Position the release button on the
buckle, away from the child
restraint, so that the seat belt can
be quickly unbuckled if necessary.

SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
5. Follow the instructions in the child
restraint owner's manual to tighten
and lock the child restraint when
using the vehicle seat belt.
6. If the child restraint has a top
tether, follow the child restraint
manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of the top tether.
See ISOFIX Child Restraint Systems
0 77.
If the airbags are off, the off indicator
in the passenger airbag status
indicator will come on and stay on
when the vehicle is started.
To remove the child restraint,
unbuckle the vehicle seat belt and let
it return to the stowed position. If the
top tether is attached to a top tether
anchor, disconnect it.
If you turned the airbag off with the
switch, turn on the front outboard
passenger airbag when you remove
the child restraint from the vehicle
unless the person who will be sitting
there is a member of a passenger
airbag risk group. See Airbag On-Off
Switch 0 61 for more information,
including important safety
information.

Before driving and occasionally
during a trip, check that the cargo
is securely fastened, that it rests
evenly between the cross rails and
does not block the vehicle's lights
or windows. Never load cargo
directly on the roof of the vehicle or
allow cargo to hang over the rear or
sides of the vehicle. Never load
cargo without first properly
installing cross rails and other
accessories designed to carry cargo.
Personal injury, death or damage to
the vehicle or other property may
occur.
If driving for a long distance, on rough
roads, or at high speeds, occasionally
stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
Cargo Weight Limits
Do not exceed the maximum cargo
weight for the roof rack system, which
includes the weight of the cross rails
and any other accessories used to

the weight designated in the
instructions that came with the cross
rails or other roof rack accessories,
whichever is less.
{ Warning
Never load the roof rack with more
weight than specified in this
section. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle's centre
of gravity higher. To avoid losing
control of the vehicle, avoid
overloading, high speeds, sudden
starts, sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt manoeuvres when
carrying cargo on the roof rack.
The weight of any cargo carried on the

Fuel Gauge
Rev Counter
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
For vehicles with the Stop/Start
system, when the ignition is on, the
tachometer indicates the vehicle
status. When pointing to AUTO STOP,
the engine is off but the vehicle is on
and can move. The engine could auto
start at any time. When the indicator
points to OFF, the vehicle is off.
When the engine is on, the
tachometer will indicate the engine's
revolutions per minute (rpm). During
Auto Stop mode, when the engine is
shutting off and restarting, the
tachometer may fluctuate by several
hundred rpm.
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates about how much fuel
is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refuelled soon.
Here are three things that some
owners ask about. None of these show
a problem with the fuel gauge:
. It takes a little more, or less, fuel to
fill up than the gauge indicated. For
example, the gauge may have
indicated the tank was half full, but
it actually took a little more, or less,
than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
. The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner, speeding up or
braking.
. The gauge takes a few seconds to
stabilise after the ignition is turned
on and goes back to empty when
the ignition is turned off.

Radio Data System (RDS)
If equipped, RDS features are available
for use only on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. With RDS,
the radio can:
. Group stations by Category (i.e.,
Programme Type) such as Rock,
Jazz, Classical, etc.
. Display messages from radio
stations.
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. It is possible
that a radio station could broadcast
incorrect information that causes the
radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio
station.
When information is broadcast from
an RDS station, the station name or
call letters display on the audio
screen. Radio text supporting the
currently playing broadcast may also
appear.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the
accessory power outlets if there is
interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only extend about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
If equipped, Digital Audio
Broadcasting (DAB) is a universal
broadcast system that shows stations
by the radio programme name on the
infotainment display. The DAB signal
produces a constant volume and is
not affected by interference from
nearby frequencies. The reception

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
quality of DAB improves if the signal
is reflected by natural obstacles or
buildings. If the DAB signal is unclear,
reception is interrupted completely.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as making
or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on may
cause static interference in the radio.
Unplug the phone or turn it off if this
happens.
Multi-Band Aerial
The roof antenna is for GPS (Global
Positioning System). Keep clear of
obstructions for clear reception. If the
vehicle has a sunroof, and it is open,
reception can also be affected.

Maps
The Nav application requires a map
database to run. It is stored on an SD
card that is connected to the
infotainment system. If the map
database is not available, a missing SD
card error message will be displayed.
SD Card Error Messages
The SD card only works for one
unique vehicle. The SD card must pass
authentication verification to be used
for that specific vehicle. Do not
remove the SD card while the ignition
is on.
Potential error scenarios and
messages include:
. The SD card has initialised for the
first time: “Once initialised, this SD
card can only be used for navigation
in this vehicle.” Make sure the SD
card switch is in an upward
position.
. The SD card is not working
properly: “SD card is not functioning
properly. (Error Code).”
. The SD card is not paired with the
existing system: “This Nav SD card
is not valid in this vehicle for
navigation. See Owner's Manual for
more details or visit your dealer.

. Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
. The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
. It could take a long time to operate
automatic rerouting during
high-speed driving.
. Automatic rerouting might display a
route returning to the set waypoint
if heading for a destination without
passing through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by time
or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
. Some routes might not be searched.
. The route to the destination might
not be shown if there are new roads,
if roads have recently changed, or if
certain roads are not listed in the
map data. See Maps 0 150.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position on
the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a location
that is safe and has a clear view of the

Database Coverage
Explanations
However, not all features within these
areas are supported by voice
commands. Generally, only complex
tasks that require multiple manual
interactions to complete are
supported by voice commands.
Coverage areas vary with respect to
the level of map detail available for
any given area. Some areas feature
greater levels of detail than others.
If this happens, it does not mean
there is a problem with the system. As
the map data is updated, more detail
can become available for areas that
previously had limited detail. See Map
Data Updates 0 158.
For example, tasks that take more
than one or two touches, such as a
song or artist to play from a media
device, would be supported by voice
commands. Other tasks, like adjusting
the volume or seeking up or down, are
audio features that are easily
performed by touching one or two
options, and are not supported by
voice commands.
Voice Recognition
In general there are flexible ways to
speak commands for completing the
tasks.
If equipped, voice recognition allows
hands-free operation within the
navigation, audio, and mobile device
applications. This feature can be
started by pressing g on the steering
wheel or by touching g on the
infotainment display with the
navigation application.
Try stating a One-Shot command,
such as “Directions to address
.”
Another example of a One-Shot
Destination Entry command is,
“Directions to Place of Interest at
.” If these commands do not
work, try saying, “Take me to Place of
159
Interest” or “Find address” and the
system will walk you through by
asking additional questions.
Using Voice Recognition
Voice recognition becomes available
once the system has been initialised.
This begins when the ignition is
turned on. Initialisation may take a
few moments.
1. Press g on the steering wheel
controls to activate voice
recognition.
2. The audio system mutes and the
system plays a prompt.
3. Clearly speak one of the commands
described in this section.
A voice recognition system prompt
can be interrupted while it is
playing by pressing g again.
For example, if the prompt seems
to be taking too long to finish,
speak the command without
waiting for the prompt to complete
and press g again.
Once voice recognition is started, both
the infotainment display and
instrument cluster show the selections

and visual dialogue content. These
displays can be turned on or off in the
Tutorial Mode under Settings 0 170.
There are three voice prompt modes
supported:
. Informative verbal prompts: This
type of prompt will provide more
information regarding the supported
actions.
. Short prompts: This type of prompt
will provide simple instructions
about what can be stated.
. Auto informative prompts: This type
of prompt plays during the first few
speech sessions, then automatically
switches to the short prompt after
some experience has been gained
through using the system.
If a command is not spoken, the voice
recognition system says a help
prompt.
Prompts and Infotainment Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there may be corresponding
options showing on the displays.
A selection can be made by manually
touching the option, or by speaking
the number for the option to select.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session may
be completed entirely using voice
commands while some manual
commands may expedite a task. If a
selection is made using a manual
control, the voice recognition dialogue
will progress in the same way as if the
selection were made using a voice
command. Once the system completes
the task, or the session is terminated,
the voice recognition dialogue stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated with
the entry desired.
Cancelling Voice Recognition
. Touch or say “Cancel” or “Exit” to
terminate the voice recognition
session and show the display where
voice recognition was initiated.

Natural Language Commands
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those languages,
use direct commands like the
examples shown on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are naturally stated in
sentence form or direct commands
that state the application and
the task.
For best results:
. Listen for the prompt before saying
a command or reply.
. Speak the command naturally, not
too fast, not too slow.
. Use direct commands without a lot
of extra words. For example, “Call
at work,” “Play” followed by
the artist or song name, or “Tune”
followed by the radio station
number.
. Navigation destinations can be
made in a single command using
keywords. A few examples are: “I

need to find a Place of Interest or

The system responds by requesting
more details. For other POIs, say the
name of a category like
“Restaurants,” “Shopping Malls,” or
“Hospitals.”
. Navigating to a destination outside
of the current country takes more
than one command. The first
command is to tell the system
where the navigation will take place,
such as an Address, Junction, POI,
or Contact. If Address or Junction is
selected, the second command is to
say, “Change Country.” Once the
system responds, say the country
before saying the rest of the address
and/or junction.
If POI is asked for, say “Change
Location,” then “Change Country.”
Commands” is spoken, the system
understands that a phone call is
requested and will respond with
questions until enough details are
gathered to make a call.
If manual selection takes more than
15 seconds, the session terminates
and prompts that it has timed out.
The display returns to the screen
where voice recognition was initiated.
If a mobile phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include both,
for example “Call at work.”
The Back Command
Using Voice Recognition for List
Options
If in voice recognition, and “Back” is
spoken all the way back to the
starting display, and then “Back” is
spoken one more time, the voice
recognition session will cancel.
Direct commands might be more
clearly understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be “Call ”. Examples of these
direct commands are displayed on
most of the screens while a voice
session is active. If “Phone” or “Phone
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a display during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt “Please select
manually or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to try again.”
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list.
When a display contains a list, there
may be options that are available but
not displayed. The list on a voice
recognition screen functions the same
as a list on other displays. Scrolling or
flinging can be used to help display
other entries from the list.
Say “Back” or touch the Back icon on
the infotainment display to go to the
previous display.
Help
Say “Help” on any voice recognition
display and the help prompt for the
display is played.
Touching g while the help prompt is
playing will terminate the prompt.
Doing this will stop the help prompt
so that a voice command can be used.

Handling Large Amounts of Media
Content
The available voice recognition
commands for [browsing]
MyMedia are:
“Play ” : Play music
from a specific device identified by
name. The device name is the name
displayed when the device is first
selected as an audio source.
“Play Artist” : Begin a dialogue to
enter a specific artist name.
“Play Chapter” : Begin a dialogue to
enter a specific name.
“Play Artist ” : Begin
playback of a specific artist.
“Play Chapter ” :
Begin playback of a specific chapter.
It is expected that large amounts of
media content will be brought into the
vehicle. It may be necessary to handle
large amounts of media content in a
different way than smaller amounts of
media. The system may limit the
options of voice recognition by not
allowing selection of files by voice at
the highest level if the number of files
exceeds the maximum limit.
“Tune to AM” :
Tune to the radio station whose
frequency is identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Tune to FM” : Tune
to the radio station whose frequency
is identified in the command (like
"one oh one point one").

MyMedia
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
Changes to voice commands due to
media content limits are:
. Files, including other individual files
of all media types such as songs,
audiobook chapters, podcast
episodes, and videos.
. Album type folders including types
such as albums and audiobooks.
There are no restrictions if the
number of files and albums is fewer
than 12,000. When the number of files
connected to the system is between
12,000 and 24,000, the content cannot
be accessed directly with one
command like “Play .”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song” must be spoken first; the
system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album content.
If there are more than 12,000 albums,
but fewer than 24,000, the content
cannot be accessed directly with one
command like, “Play .”
The command “Play Album” must first
be spoken; the system will then ask
163
for the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play.
Voice Recognition for
Navigation (If Equipped)
Once the number of files has exceeded
approximately 24,000, there is no
support for accessing the songs
directly through voice commands.
There will still be access to the media
content by using commands for
playlists, artists, and genres.
“Navigation Commands” : Begin a
dialogue to enter specific destination
information.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited after
the number of this type of media
exceeds 12,000.
The system will provide feedback the
first time voice recognition is initiated
if it has become apparent that any of
these limits are reached during a
device initialising process.
Voice recognition performance will
degrade to some extent based on
many factors when adding large
amounts of data to recognise. If so,
accessing songs through playlists or
artist name may work better.
“Navigation” : Begin a dialogue to
enter specific destination information.
“Address” : Begin a dialogue to enter
a specific destination address, which
includes the entire address consisting
of the house number, street name, city
and country.
“Place of Interest” : Begin a dialogue
to enter a destination Place of Interest
category or major brand name.
The name must be precisely spoken.
Nicknames or short names for the
businesses will not likely be found.
Lesser known businesses might have
to be located by category, such as fast
food, hotels, or banks.
“Navigate to Contact” : Begin a
dialogue to enter a specific
destination contact name.

. Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from air inlets at the base of the
windscreen that could block the
flow of air into the vehicle.
. Clear snow off the bonnet to
improve visibility and help decrease
moisture drawn into the vehicle.
. Keep the path under the front seats
clear of objects to help circulate the
air inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
. Use of non-GM approved bonnet air
flow deflectors can adversely affect
the performance of the system.
Check with your dealer before
adding equipment to the outside of
the vehicle.
. Do not attach any devices to the air
vent slats. This restricts airflow and
may cause damage to the air vents.

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

Driving Information
Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage.
Here are some driving tips to get the
best fuel economy possible.
. Set the climate controls to the
desired temperature after the engine
is started, or turn them off when
not required.
. On AWD vehicles, use Tour Mode
when conditions permit.
. Avoid fast starts and accelerate
smoothly.
. Brake gradually and avoid abrupt
stops.
. Avoid idling the engine for long
periods of time.
. When road and weather conditions
are appropriate, use cruise control.
. Always follow posted speed limits or
drive more slowly when conditions
require.
. Keep vehicle tyres properly inflated.
. Combine several trips into a
single trip.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
. Replace the vehicle's tyres with the
. Become familiar with vehicle
same TPC Spec number moulded
into the tyre's sidewall near the size.
. Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and
can take your focus from the task of
driving. Exercise good judgement and
do not let other activities divert your
attention away from the road. Many
local governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your
eyes on the road, keep your hands on
the steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
. Do not use a phone in demanding
driving situations. Use a hands-free
method to place or receive
necessary phone calls.
. Watch the road. Do not read, take
notes, or look up information on
phones or other electronic devices.
. Designate a front seat passenger to
handle potential distractions.
.
.
.
.
features before driving, such as
programming favourite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings. Program
all trip information into any
navigation device prior to driving.
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.
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 and the navigation system,
if equipped, including pairing and
using a mobile phone.
191
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 49.
. 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.
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.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
192
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Average driver reaction time is about
three-quarters of a second. In that
time, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h
(60 mph) travels 20 m (66 ft), which
could be a lot of distance in an
emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind
include:
. Keep enough distance between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
. Avoid needless heavy braking.
. Keep pace with traffic.
If the engine ever stops while the
vehicle is being driven, brake normally
but do not pump the brakes. Doing so
could make the pedal harder to push
down. If the engine stops, there will
be some power brake assist but it will
be used when the brake is applied.
Once the power assist is used up, it
can take longer to stop and the brake
pedal will be harder to push.
Steering
Electric Power Steering
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering
system, do not drive over kerbs,
parking barriers, or similar objects
at speeds greater than 3 km/h
(1 mph). Use care when driving over
other objects such as lane dividers
and speed bumps. Damage caused
by misuse of the vehicle is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
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.
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.
See your dealer if there is a problem.
Bend Tips
. Take bends at a reasonable speed.
. Reduce speed before entering
a bend.
. Maintain a reasonable steady speed
through the bend.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
. Wait until the vehicle is out of the
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.
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder
while driving. Follow these tips:
1. Ease off the accelerator and then,
if there is nothing in the way, steer
the vehicle so that it straddles the
edge of the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about
one-eighth of a turn, until the right
front tyre contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.
Off-Road Recovery
Loss of Control
bend before accelerating gently into
the straight.
Steering in Emergencies
. There are some situations when
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
. Braking Skid - wheels are not
rolling.
. Steering or Cornering Skid - too
much speed or steering in a bend
causes tyres to slip and lose
cornering force.
. Acceleration Skid - too much
throttle causes the driving wheels
to spin.
193
Defensive drivers avoid most skids by
taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide, follow
these suggestions:
. Ease your foot off the accelerator
pedal and steer the way you want
the vehicle to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for a
second skid if it occurs.
. Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions.
Stopping distance can be longer and
vehicle control can be affected when
traction is reduced by water, snow,
ice, gravel, or other material on the
road. Learn to recognise warning
clues - such as enough water, ice,
or packed snow on the road to
make a mirrored surface - and slow
down when you have any doubt.
. Try to avoid sudden steering,
acceleration, or braking, including
reducing vehicle speed by shifting
to a lower gear. Any sudden changes
could cause the tyres to slide.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
194
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Remember: Antilock brakes help avoid
only the braking skid.
Off-Road Driving
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles can
be used for off-road driving. Vehicles
without AWD and vehicles not
equipped with All Terrain (AT) or
On-Off Road (OOR) tyres must not be
driven off-road except on a level, solid
surface. To contact the tyre
manufacturer for more information
about the original equipment tyres,
see the warranty manual.
Controlling the vehicle is the key to
successful off-road driving. One of the
best ways to control the vehicle is to
control the speed.
{ Warning
When driving off-road, bouncing
and quick changes in direction can
easily throw you out of position.
This could cause you to lose control
and crash. You and your passengers
should always wear seat belts.
Before Driving Off-Road
. Have all necessary maintenance and
service work completed.
. Fuel the vehicle, fill fluid levels, and
check inflation pressure in all tyres,
including the spare, if equipped.
. Read all the information about
AWD vehicles in this manual.
. Make sure all underbody shields,
if equipped, are properly attached.
. Know the local laws that apply to
off-road driving.
To gain more ground clearance if
needed, it may be necessary to remove
the front fascia lower air dam.
However, driving without the front
spoiler reduces fuel economy.
Caution
Operating the vehicle for extended
periods without the front fascia
lower air dam installed can cause
improper airflow to the engine.
Reattach the front fascia air dam
after off-road driving.
Loading the Vehicle for Off-Road
Driving
{ Warning
. Unsecured cargo on the load
floor can be tossed about when
driving over rough terrain. You or
your passengers can be struck by
flying objects. Secure the cargo
properly.
. Keep cargo in the cargo area as
far forward and as low as
possible. The heaviest things
should be on the floor, forward
of the rear axle.
. Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle's centre of gravity,
making it more likely to roll over.
You can be seriously or fatally
injured if the vehicle rolls over.
Put heavy loads inside the cargo
area, not on the roof.
For more information about loading
the vehicle, see Vehicle Load Limits
0 200.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Environmental Concerns
. Always use established trails, roads,
and areas that have been set aside
for public off-road recreational
driving and obey all posted
regulations.
. Do not damage shrubs, flowers,
trees, or grasses or disturb wildlife.
. Do not park over things that burn.
See Parking over Things That Burn
0 210.
Driving on Hills
Driving safely on hills requires good
judgement and an understanding of
what the vehicle can and cannot do.
{ Warning
Many hills are simply too steep for
any vehicle. Driving up hills can
cause the vehicle to stall. Driving
down hills can cause loss of control.
Driving across hills can cause a
rollover. You could be injured or
killed. Do not drive on steep hills.
Before driving on a hill, assess the
steepness, traction, and obstructions.
If the terrain ahead cannot be seen,
get out of the vehicle and walk the hill
before driving further.
When driving on hills:
. Use a low gear and keep a firm grip
on the steering wheel.
. Maintain a slow speed.
. When possible, drive straight up or
down the hill.
. Slow down when approaching the
top of the hill.
. Use headlamps even during the day
to make the vehicle more visible.
{ Warning
Driving to the top of a hill at high
speed can cause a collision. There
could be a drop-off, embankment,
cliff, or even another vehicle. You
could be seriously injured or killed.
As you near the top of a hill, slow
down and stay alert.
195
. Never go downhill forward or
backward with the transmission in
N (Neutral). The brakes could
overheat and you could lose control.
. When driving down a hill, keep the
vehicle headed straight down. Use a
low gear because the engine will
work with the brakes to slow the
vehicle and help keep the vehicle
under control.
{ Warning
Heavy braking when going down a
hill can cause your brakes to
overheat and fade. This could cause
loss of control and you or others
could be injured or killed. Apply the
brakes lightly when descending a
hill and use a low gear to keep
vehicle speed under control.
If the vehicle stalls on a hill:
1. Apply the brakes to stop the
vehicle, and then apply the parking
brake.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
196
DRIVING AND OPERATING
2. Shift into P (Park) and then restart
the engine.
. If driving uphill when the
vehicle stalls, shift to
R (Reverse), release the parking
brake, and reverse
straight down.
. Never try to turn the vehicle
around. If the hill is steep
enough to stall the vehicle, it is
steep enough to cause it to
roll over.
. If you cannot make it up the
hill, back straight down the hill.
. Never reverse down a hill in
N (Neutral) using only the
brake.
. The vehicle can roll backward
quickly and you could lose
control.
. If driving downhill when the
vehicle stalls, shift to a lower
gear, release the parking brake,
and drive straight down the hill.
3. If the vehicle cannot be restarted
after stalling, apply the parking
brake, shift into P (Park), and turn
the vehicle off.
3.1. Leave the vehicle and
seek help.
3.2. Stay clear of the path the
vehicle would take if it rolled
downhill.
. Avoid turns that take the vehicle
across the incline of the hill. A hill
that can be driven straight up or
down might be too steep to drive
across. Driving across an incline
puts more weight on the downhill
wheels which could cause a
downhill slide or a rollover.
. Surface conditions can be a
problem. Loose gravel, muddy spots,
or even wet grass can cause the
tyres to slip sideways, downhill.
If the vehicle slips sideways, it can
hit something that will trip it - a
rock, a rut, etc. - and roll over.
. Hidden obstacles can make the
steepness of the incline more
severe. If a rock is driven across
with the uphill wheels, or if the
downhill wheels drop into a rut or
depression, the vehicle can tilt
even more.
. If an incline must be driven across,
and the vehicle starts to slide, turn
downhill. This should help
straighten out the vehicle and
prevent the side slipping.
{ Warning
Getting out of the vehicle on the
downhill side when stopped across
an incline is dangerous. If the
vehicle rolls over, you could be
crushed or killed. Always get out on
the uphill side of the vehicle and
stay well clear of the rollover path.
Driving in Mud, Sand, Snow,
or Ice
Use a low gear when driving in mud –
the deeper the mud, the lower the
gear. Keep the vehicle moving to avoid
getting stuck.
Traction changes when driving on
sand. On loose sand, such as on
beaches or sand dunes, the tyres tend
to sink into the sand. This affects
steering, accelerating, and braking.
Drive at a reduced speed and avoid
sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Traction is reduced on hard packed
snow and ice and it is easy to lose
control. Reduce vehicle speed when
driving on hard packed snow and ice.
{ Warning
Driving on frozen lakes, ponds,
or rivers can be dangerous. Ice
conditions vary greatly and the
vehicle could fall through the ice;
you and your passengers could
drown. Drive your vehicle on safe
surfaces only.
Driving in Water
{ Warning
Driving through rushing water can
be dangerous. Deep water can
sweep your vehicle downstream and
you and your passengers could
drown. If it is only shallow water, it
can still wash away the ground
from under your tyres. Traction
could be lost, and the vehicle could
roll over. Do not drive through
rushing water.
Caution
Do not drive through standing
water if it is deep enough to cover
the wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust
pipe. Deep water can damage the
axle and other vehicle parts.
If the standing water is not too deep,
drive through it slowly. At faster
speeds, water can get into the engine
and cause it to stall. Stalling can
occur if the exhaust pipe is under
water. Do not turn off the ignition
when driving through water. If the
exhaust pipe is under water, the
engine will not start. When going
through water, the brakes get wet, and
it might take longer to stop. See
Driving on Wet Roads 0 197.
After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected on the underbody or chassis,
or under the bonnet. These
accumulations can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have
the brake linings cleaned and checked.
These substances can cause glazing
and uneven braking. Check the body
197
structure, steering, suspension,
wheels, tyres, and exhaust system for
damage and check the fuel lines and
cooling system for any leakage.
More frequent maintenance service is
required.
Driving on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle
traction and affect your ability to stop
and accelerate. Always drive slower in
these types of driving conditions and
avoid driving through large puddles
and deep-standing or flowing water.
{ Warning
Wet brakes can cause crashes. They
might not work as well in a quick
stop and could cause pulling to one
side. You could lose control of the
vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle
of water or a car/vehicle wash,
lightly apply the brake pedal until
the brakes work normally.

DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
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.
. Overtake with caution.

in good condition.
Keep the windscreen washer fluid
reservoir filled.
Have good tyres with proper tread
depth. See Tyres 0 319.
Turn off cruise control.
Activate All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
mode. See Driver Mode Control
0 225.
{ Warning
Using the brakes to slow the vehicle
on a long downhill slope can cause
brake overheating, can reduce brake
performance, and could result in a
loss of braking. Shift the
transmission to a lower gear to let
the engine assist the brakes on a
steep downhill slope.
Aquaplaning
Hill and Mountain Roads
{ Warning
Aquaplaning is dangerous. Water can
build up under the vehicle's tyres so
they actually ride on the water. This
can happen if the road is wet enough
and you are going fast enough. When
the vehicle is aquaplaning, it has little
or no contact with the road.
Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving on
flat or rolling terrain. Tips include:
. Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape.
. Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tyres, cooling system, and
transmission.
. Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep or long hills.
Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or
with the ignition off is dangerous.
This can cause overheating of the
brakes and loss of steering assist.
Always have the engine running
and the vehicle in gear.
There is no hard and fast rule about
aquaplaning. The best advice is to
slow down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet
weather driving tips include:
. Allow extra following distance.
. Drive at speeds that keep the
vehicle in its own lane. Do not
swing wide or cross the centre line.
. Be alert on top of hills; something
could be in your lane (e.g. stalled
car, crash).
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
. Pay attention to special road signs
(e.g., falling rocks area, winding
roads, long gradients, overtaking or
no-overtaking zones) and take
appropriate action.
. Select All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Mode.
See Driver Mode Control 0 225 and
All-Wheel Drive 0 221.
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or Ice
Caution
To avoid damage to the wheels and
brake components, always clear
snow and ice from inside the
wheels and underneath the vehicle
before driving.
Snow or ice between the tyres and the
road creates less traction or grip, so
drive carefully. Wet ice can occur at
about 0 °C (32 °F) when freezing rain
begins to fall. Avoid driving on wet ice
or in freezing rain until roads can be
treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
. Accelerate gently. Accelerating too
quickly causes the wheels to spin
and makes the surface under the
tyres slick.
. The Antilock Brake System (ABS)
improves vehicle stability during
hard stops, but the brakes should be
applied sooner than when on dry
surfaces. See Antilock Brake System
(ABS) 0 221.
. Allow greater following distance and
watch for slippery spots. Icy patches
can occur on otherwise clear roads
in shaded areas. The surface of a
curve or an overpass can remain icy
when the surrounding roads are
clear. Avoid sudden steering
manoeuvres and braking while
on ice.
. Turn off cruise control.
. Select All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Mode
for vehicles equipped with AWD.
Select Snow/Ice Mode for FWD only
vehicles. See Driver Mode Control
0 225 and
All-Wheel Drive 0 221.

Blizzard Conditions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
signal for help. Stay with the vehicle
unless there is help nearby.
To get help and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe:
. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
. Tie a red cloth to an outside mirror.
{ Warning
Snow can trap engine exhaust
under the vehicle. This may cause
exhaust gases to get inside. Engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide
(CO), which cannot be seen or
smelled. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle is stuck in snow:
. Clear snow from the base of the
vehicle, especially any blocking
the exhaust pipe.
. Open a window about 5 cm (2 in)
on the vehicle side that is away
from the wind, to bring in
fresh air.

DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning (Continued)
. Fully open the air outlets on or
under the instrument panel.
. Adjust the climate control
system to circulate the air inside
the vehicle and set the fan speed
to the highest setting. See
“Climate Control Systems.”
For more information about CO, see
Engine Exhaust 0 211.
To save fuel, run the engine for short
periods to warm the vehicle and then
shut the engine off and partially close
the window. Moving about to keep
warm also helps.
If it takes time for help to arrive,
when running the engine, push the
accelerator pedal slightly so the
engine runs faster than the idle speed.
This keeps the battery charged to
restart the vehicle and to signal for
help with the headlamps. Do this as
little as possible, to save fuel.
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels
to free the vehicle when stuck in sand,
mud, ice, or snow.
If stuck too severely for the traction
system to free the vehicle, turn the
traction system off and use the
rocking method. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 224.
{ Warning
If the vehicle's tyres spin at high
speed, they can explode, and you or
others could be injured. The vehicle
can overheat, causing an engine
compartment fire or other damage.
Spin the wheels as little as possible
and avoid going above 56 km/h
(35 mph).
Select All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Mode.
See Driver Mode Control 0 225 and
All-Wheel Drive 0 221.
Rocking the Vehicle to Get it Out
Turn the steering wheel left and right
to clear the area around the front
wheels. Turn off any traction system.
Shift back and forth between
R (Reverse) and a low forward gear,
spinning the wheels as little as
possible. To prevent transmission
wear, wait until the wheels stop
spinning before shifting gears. Release
the accelerator pedal while shifting,
and press lightly on the accelerator
pedal when the transmission is in
gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
the forward and reverse directions
causes a rocking motion that could
free the vehicle. If that does not get
the vehicle out after a few tries, it
might need to be towed out. If the
vehicle does need to be towed out, see
Towing the Vehicle 0 349.
Vehicle Load Limits
It is very important to know how
much weight the vehicle can carry.
This weight is called the vehicle
capacity weight and includes the
weight of all occupants, cargo, and
all non-factory-installed options.
Two labels on the vehicle may
show how much weight it may

DRIVING AND OPERATING
properly carry, the Tyre and
Loading Information label and the
Certification/Tyre label.
Tyre and Loading Information Label
{ Warning
Do not load the vehicle any
heavier than the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR),
or either the maximum front or
rear Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). This can cause
systems to break and change
the way the vehicle handles.
This could cause loss of control
and a crash. Overloading can
also reduce stopping
performance, damage the tyres,
and shorten the life of the
vehicle.
Example Label
A vehicle-specific Tyre and
Loading Information label is
attached to the centre pillar
(B-pillar). The tyre and loading
information label shows the
number of occupant seating
positions (1), and the maximum
vehicle capacity weight (2) in
kilograms and pounds.
The Tyre and Loading Information
label also shows the size of the
original equipment tyres (3) and
the recommended cold tyre
201
inflation pressures (4). For more
information on tyres and inflation
see Tyres 0 319 and
Tyre Pressure 0 321.
There is also important loading
information on the vehicle
Certification/Tyre label. It may
show the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for the
front and rear axle. See

this section.
“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.

DRIVING AND OPERATING
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.”

{ Warning
Starting and Operating
Things inside the vehicle can
strike and injure people in a
sudden stop or turn, or in a
crash.
. Put things in the cargo area
of the vehicle. In the cargo
area, put them as far forward
as possible. Try to spread the
weight evenly.
. Never stack heavier things,
like suitcases, inside the
vehicle so that some of them
are above the tops of the
seats.
. Do not leave an unsecured
child restraint in the vehicle.
. Secure loose items in the
vehicle.
. Do not leave a seat folded
down unless needed.
New Vehicle Run-In
Caution
The vehicle does not need an
elaborate run-in. But it will perform
better in the long run if you follow
these guidelines:
. Do not drive at any one constant
speed, fast or slow, for the first
800 km (500 mi). Do not make
full-throttle starts. Avoid
downshifting to brake or slow the
vehicle.
. Avoid making hard stops for the
first 300 km (200 mi) or so.
During this time the new brake
linings are not yet broken in.
Hard stops with new linings can
mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this
breaking-in guideline every time
you get new brake linings.
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
. Do not tow a trailer during
run-in. See Trailer Towing 0 277
for the trailer towing capabilities
of the vehicle and more
information.
Following run-in, engine speed and
load can be gradually increased.
On new vehicles, the various
mechanical and electrical systems
experience a “break-in” period during
the first 6,400 km (4,000 miles) of
routine driving. As the vehicle is
driven, the mechanical systems adjust
to provide optimal fuel economy and
gear change performance.
Electrical systems will adapt and
calibrate during the break-in period.
A one-time occurrence of clicks and
similar vehicle noises is normal during
this process.
Normal driving charges the vehicle's
battery to achieve the best operation
of the vehicle, including fuel economy
and the Stop/Start System. See Stop/
Start System 0 208.

Parking over Things
That Burn
{ Warning
Things that can burn could touch
hot exhaust parts under the vehicle
and ignite. Do not park over papers,
leaves, dry grass, or other things
that can burn.
Active Fuel Management
Extended Parking
This vehicle's engine may be equipped
with Active Fuel Management, which
allows the engine to operate on either
all of its cylinders, or in reduced
cylinder operation mode, depending
on the driving conditions.
It is best not to park with the vehicle
running. If the vehicle is left running,
be sure it will not move and there is
adequate ventilation.
When less power is required, such as
cruising at a constant vehicle speed,
the system will operate in reduced
cylinder operation mode, allowing the
vehicle to achieve better fuel economy.
When greater power demands are
required, such as accelerating from a
stop, overtaking, or merging onto a
freeway, the system will maintain
full-cylinder operation.
If the vehicle is left parked and
running with the RKE transmitter
outside the vehicle, it will continue to
run for up to 15 minutes.
If the vehicle has an Active Fuel
Management indicator, see Driver

Diesel Particulate Filter
The exhaust system has a Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) to reduce
vehicle emissions. On some exhaust
systems with a DPF, the exhaust
cooler mixes air with the exhaust to
lower the temperature before it leaves
the tailpipe.
The DPF, the tailpipe, and other
exhaust system components must not
be altered. Regularly inspect and clean
any mud or dirt from the exhaust
cooler, especially where the exhaust
cooler connects to the tailpipe and the
openings where fresh air enters the
cooler.
The DPF will clean itself as part of
normal operation. Several factors,
including fuel consumed, hours of
engine operation, and miles driven,
are monitored by the Engine Control
Module (ECM). The self-cleaning
occurs approximately once per tank
of fuel.
Vehicles with the DPF have specific

Caution
Avoid extended idling because the
DPF system is not capable of
self-cleaning at idle speed. During
extended idling, monitor the
instrument cluster lights and DIC
for messages and take appropriate
action. Continued idling with the
warning light/message shown could
cause damage to the DPF, requiring
repair and possible replacement
that might not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
During self-cleaning, there will be a
change in the exhaust sound and
engine idle speed. Along with this, a
burning smell and reduction in fuel
economy may be noticed. This is
normal.
If the vehicle is run at idle speed or
driven on very short trips with the
DPF warning message shown and the
exhaust filter is not cleaned as
required, the malfunction indicator

information, see the AdBlue
container label.
Caution
Use only AdBlue that is GM
approved, or fluid containing the
API certified or ISO 22241 label.
The use of other fluids could
damage the system, requiring costly
repairs that will not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Caution
Do not mix fuel with AdBlue, and
do not fill AdBlue into the fuel
tank. This could lead to costly
repairs that might not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
AdBlue is used with diesel engines to
reduce the amount of regulated
emissions produced. The fluid level in
the AdBlue tank must be maintained
for the vehicle to run properly. AdBlue
is not a fuel additive. AdBlue freezes
when exposed to temperatures below
−11 °C (12 °F). For AdBlue tank
capacity, see Capacities and
Specifications 0 373.

Filling the AdBlue Tank
It is normal to hear the AdBlue
system purge fluid back into the tank
after the vehicle is shut off.
Locating AdBlue
AdBlue can be purchased at your
authorised retailers. Additionally,
some diesel truck filling stations or
retailers may have AdBlue available
for purchase. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants 0 368.
The blue AdBlue cap is behind the
fuel/AdBlue hatch. If equipped with a
fuel cap, do not remove the fuel and
AdBlue caps at the same time. Fill
diesel fuel and AdBlue independently.
Turn the AdBlue cap anticlockwise to
remove.
In cold conditions, AdBlue can freeze
in the AdBlue filler pipe opening.
If this prevents the filling of the
AdBlue tank, park the vehicle in a
warm garage overnight.

fill the AdBlue tank.
When fluid reaches the top of the
AdBlue filler pipe, stop filling. Do not
top up the AdBlue tank. If using a
bottle or jug to refill AdBlue, follow
the instructions on the container label
and use a dedicated filling aid.
Caution
Do not overfill the AdBlue tank and
do not allow AdBlue to make
contact with the finished surfaces
of the vehicle, as it could damage
the vehicle finish. If AdBlue is
spilled during filling, wipe any
affected surface with a damp cloth.
Fill the AdBlue tank on level ground

Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with this feature can operate
in All-Wheel Drive (AWD) Mode.
When the AWD feature is active, the
system transfers engine power,
if required, to all four wheels. The
system is fully automatic and adjusts
to road conditions for improved
traction and control. In FWD Mode
engine power is transferred to the
front wheels only, and the AWD
feature is off.
The AWD feature is automatically
activated when certain modes are
selected using the Driver Mode
Control switch. When an AWD mode
change is requested the light will flash
briefly while the system is engaging
and the AWD light will be displayed
when the system is active. When a
non-AWD Mode is selected, the light
will flash briefly while the system
disengages and a 2WD light will be
displayed when the AWD system is
off. See Driver Mode Control 0 225.
When a compact spare tyre is
installed on an AWD vehicle, the
system will automatically detect the
compact spare and reduce AWD
performance to protect the system. To
restore AWD operation and prevent
excessive wear on the system, replace
the compact spare with a full-size tyre
as soon as possible. See Compact Spare
Tyre 0 346.
Brakes
Electric Brake Boost
Vehicles equipped with electric brake
boost have hydraulic brake circuits
that are electronically controlled when
the brake pedal is applied during
normal operation. The system
performs routine tests and turns off
within a few minutes after the vehicle
is turned off. Noise may be heard
during this time. If the brake pedal is
depressed during the tests or when
221
the electric brake boost system is off,
a noticeable change in pedal force and
travel may be felt. This is normal.
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
The Antilock Brake System (ABS)
helps prevent a braking skid and
maintain steering while braking hard.
If there is a problem with ABS, this
warning light stays on. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) Warning Light
0 108.
ABS does not change the time needed
to put your foot on the brake pedal
and does not always decrease stopping
distance. If you get too close to the
vehicle ahead, there will not be
enough time to apply the brakes if it
suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room ahead to stop, even
with ABS.

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 0 191.
When the vehicle is stopped on a
grade, Hill Start Assist (HSA) prevents
the vehicle from rolling in an
unintended direction during the
transition from brake pedal release to
accelerator pedal apply. The brakes
release when the accelerator pedal is
applied. If the accelerator pedal is not
applied within a few minutes, the
Electric Parking Brake will apply. The
brakes may also release under other
conditions. Do not rely on HSA to
hold the vehicle.
HSA is available when the vehicle is

a complete stop on a grade for HSA to
activate.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) and StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
These systems help limit wheel spin
and assist the driver in maintaining
control, especially on slippery road
conditions.
TCS activates if it senses that any of
the drive wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. On an
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle in
AWD or Sport Mode, the system will
operate if it senses that any of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, TCS
applies the brakes to the spinning
wheels and reduces engine power to
limit wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates when the
system senses a discrepancy between
the intended path and the direction
the vehicle is actually travelling.
StabiliTrak/ESC selectively applies
braking pressure at any one of the
vehicle's brakes to help steer the
vehicle in the direction in which you
are steering.
If cruise control is being used and
traction control or StabiliTrak/ESC
begins to limit wheel spin, cruise
control will disengage. Cruise control
may be turned back on when road
conditions allow. TCS and StabiliTrak/
ESC will automatically turn on when
cruise control is set.
Both systems come on automatically
when the vehicle is started and begins
to move. The systems may be heard or
felt while they are operating or while
performing diagnostic checks. This is
normal and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both
systems on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary to
turn TCS off if the vehicle gets stuck
in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If the
Vehicle Is Stuck 0 200 and “Turning
the Systems Off and On” later in this
section.
The indicator light for both systems is
in the instrument cluster. This
light will:
. Flash when TCS is limiting
wheel spin.
. Flash when StabiliTrak/ESC is
activated.
. Turn on and stay on when either
system is not working.
If either system fails to turn on or to

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

{ Warning
ACC will not detect or brake for
children, pedestrians, animals,
or other objects.
Do not use ACC when:
. On winding and hilly roads or
when the sensors are blocked by
snow, ice, or dirt. The system
may not detect a vehicle ahead.
Keep the entire front of the
vehicle clean.
. Visibility is low, such as in mist,
rain, or snow conditions. ACC
performance is limited under
these conditions.
. On slippery roads where fast
changes in tyre traction can

Overtaking a Vehicle While
Using ACC
If the set speed is high enough, and
the left indicator is used to overtake a
vehicle ahead within the selected
interval, ACC may assist by gradually
accelerating the following vehicle prior
to the lane change.
{ Warning
When using ACC to overtake a
vehicle or change lane, the distance
to the vehicle ahead being
overtaken may be reduced. ACC
may not apply sufficient
acceleration or braking when
overtaking a vehicle or changing
lane. Always be ready to accelerate
or brake manually to finish
overtaking or changing lane.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving
Objects
{ Warning
ACC may not detect and react to
stopped or slow-moving vehicles
ahead of you. For example, the
system may not brake for a vehicle
it has never detected moving. This
can occur in stop-and-go traffic or
when a vehicle suddenly appears
due to a vehicle ahead changing
lanes. Your vehicle may not stop
and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your
complete attention is always
required while driving and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
. Vehicles with cargo extending from
the rear.
. Non-standard shaped vehicles, such
as vehicle transport, vehicles with a
side car fitted, or horse-drawn
carriages.
. Objects that are close to the front of
your vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and
the driver will need to manually apply
the brakes to slow the vehicle when:
. The sensors are blocked.
. The Traction Control System (TCS)
or StabiliTrak/ESC system has
activated or been disabled.
. There is a fault in the system.
. The radar falsely reports blockage
when driving in a desert or remote
area with no other vehicles or
roadside objects. A DIC message
may display to indicate that ACC is
temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white
when ACC is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is

Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with
Front and Rear Park Assist (FRPA).
Under certain conditions, the Park
Assist system can assist the driver
during reversing and parking
manoeuvres when the vehicle is
driven at no more than 9 km/h
(6 mph). An illuminated indicator in
the Park Assist button indicates the
system is ready.
Sensors located in the bumpers
measure the distance between the
vehicle and objects using sonar
technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain objects up
to 1.5 m (5 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft)
in front of your vehicle that are taller
than 25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental conditions
may affect whether and how far away
the Park Assist system can detect
objects. Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and
clean sensors after a car wash in
freezing temperatures. Sensors that
are not clean may not detect objects
or may cause the system to alert when
not required.
{ Warning
The Park Assist System is no
substitute for careful and attentive
driving. The Park Assist system
does not detect children,
pedestrians, cyclists, animals,
or objects located below the
bumper or that are too close or too
far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than
9 km/h (6 mph). To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check the area
around the vehicle and check all
mirrors before moving forward or
reversing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like display on
the cluster with bars that represent
the estimated location of a detected
object and the vehicle's distance from
the object. As a detected object gets
closer, more bars light up and change
colour from yellow to amber to red.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Beeps sound to warn the driver of
certain objects that are detected
around the vehicle. The frequency of
beeps increases as the vehicle gets
closer to the object. When the object
is very close to the vehicle, the beeps
are continuous. Beeps for the front are
higher pitched than beeps for the rear.
Turning the System On and Off
The Park Assist System can be turned
on or off using the infotainment
system. See Vehicle Personalisation
0 121.
The X button is used to turn on or
off the Park Assist, which also turns
the Reversing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) on or off at
the same time. When the system is
turned off, a system off message is
shown on the display. This message
disappears after a short period
of time.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a
trailer and when a bike rack is
attached to prevent unwanted beeps
and to ensure proper operation.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
If a service message displays, check
the following conditions:
. The sensors may not be clean. Keep
the vehicle's front and rear bumpers
free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and
slush. For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care 0 351.
. 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.
If a service message displays and the
above conditions do not exist, take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
245
If the Park Assist System does not
activate due to a temporary condition,
a system off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under the
following conditions:
. The driver has disabled the system.
. An object is currently blocking the
rear sensors (for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.). Once the
object is removed, Park Assist will
return to normal operation.
. The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to your dealer for repairs.
. Other conditions, such as vibrations
from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance.

Reversing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) have the Reversing Warning
System and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) system. When in
R (Reverse), Reversing Warning alerts
of rear objects at vehicle speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph), and RAB
may automatically brake hard at
speeds between 1–32 km/h (0.5–
20 mph).
The Reversing Warning System will
beep once from the rear when an
object is first detected, or pulse twice
on both sides of the Safety Alert Seat.
When the system detects a potential
crash, beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There
may also be a brief, sharp application
of the brakes.
{ Warning
The Reversing Warning System only
operates at speeds greater than
8 km/h (5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
animals, or objects below the
bumper or that are too close or too
far from the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
reversing speeds, there may not be
enough time for the short, sharp

application of the vehicle brake
system to occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even with
the Reversing Warning System,
always check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors before
reversing.
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse),
if the system detects the vehicle is
reversing too fast to avoid a crash
with a detected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a stop to
help avoid or reduce the harm caused
by a reversing crash.
{ Warning
RAB may not avoid many types of
reversing crashes. Do not wait for
the automatic braking to apply. This
system is not designed to replace
driver braking and only works in
R (Reverse) when an object is

towing a trailer. The RCTA feature is
automatically disabled when a trailer
is attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Features On or Off
RCTA can be turned on or off using
the infotainment system. See
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 121.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
If equipped, the FCA system may help
to avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching
a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the
windscreen and rapidly beeps or
pulses the driver seat. FCA also lights
an amber visual alert if following
another vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect

vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0 231.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
{ Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, crash barriers,
bridges, construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving 0 191.
FCA can be disabled. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” under Vehicle
Personalisation 0 121.
FCA warnings will not occur unless
the FCA system detects a vehicle
ahead. When a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will display
green. Vehicles may not be detected
on bends, motorway exit ramps,
or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA will
not detect another vehicle ahead until
it is completely in the driving lane.

or hilly roads, or in conditions that
can limit visibility such as fog, rain,
or snow, or if the headlamps or
windscreen are not cleaned or in
proper condition. Keep the
windscreen, headlamps, and FCA
sensors clean and in good repair.

DRIVING AND OPERATING
When your vehicle approaches
another detected vehicle too rapidly,
the red FCA display will flash on the
windscreen. Also, eight rapid
high-pitched beeps will sound from
the front, or both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse five times. When
this Collision Alert occurs, the brake
system may prepare for driver braking
to occur more rapidly which can cause
a brief, mild deceleration. Continue to
apply the brake pedal as needed.

Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts
for turning vehicles, vehicles in other
lanes, objects that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are normal
operation and the vehicle does not
need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to
operate properly, this may correct the
issue:

. Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
. Clean the headlights.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system may help avoid or
reduce the damage caused by
front-end collisions. AEB also includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA). When
the system detects a vehicle in the
path ahead that is travelling in the
same direction, it can provide a boost
to braking, or automatically brake the
vehicle, to avoid a collision. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of
crashes when driving in a forward
gear. Depending on the situation, the
vehicle may automatically brake
moderately or hard. This Automatic
Emergency Braking can only engage if
a vehicle is detected. When detecting
a vehicle, the Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) vehicle ahead indicator light
will be illuminated. See Forward
Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 250.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph)
and 80 km/h (50 mph), or on vehicles
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{ Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid collisions. Do not
rely on AEB to brake the vehicle.
AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
. Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
. Detect all vehicles, especially
vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc.
. Detect a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow.
(Continued)
253
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
apply the brakes and/or steer the
vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential collision. If this happens,
AEB may engage the Electric Parking
Brake (EPB) to hold the vehicle at a
stop. Release the EPB or firmly press
the accelerator pedal.
{ Warning
AEB may automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in situations
where it is unexpected and
undesired. It could respond to a
turning vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving

objects. To override AEB, firmly
depress the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the brake
pedal is applied quickly by providing a
boost to braking based on the speed
of approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. IBA will
automatically disengage only when
the brake pedal is released.
{ Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the flow
of traffic. If this occurs, take your
foot off the brake pedal and then
apply the brakes as needed.
FCA and AEB may also detect a cyclist
ahead. FCA provides a green V when
a cyclist is detected ahead, and
displays amber if you follow a cyclist
too closely. When approaching a
cyclist ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the
windscreen and beeps rapidly or
pulses the driver seat. AEB can
provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle to
help avoid or reduce the harm caused
by front-end collisions with a nearby
cyclist when driving in a forward gear.
AEB and IBA can be disabled through
vehicle personalisation. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” under Vehicle
Personalisation 0 121.
{ Warning
Using AEB or IBA while towing a
trailer could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle and cause a
collision. Turn the system to Alert
or Off when towing a trailer.
A system unavailable message may
display if:
. The front of the vehicle or
windscreen is not clean.
. Heavy rain or snow is interfering
with object detection.
. There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system.
The AEB system does not need
service.
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system may help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes with nearby
pedestrians and cyclists when driving
in a forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator, ~, when a nearby
pedestrian or cyclist is detected ahead.
When approaching a detected
pedestrian or cyclist too quickly, FPB
provides a red flashing alert on the
windscreen and rapidly beeps or
pulses the driver seat. FPB can provide
a boost to braking or automatically
brake the vehicle. This system
includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) system may also respond to

pedestrians and cyclists. See
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
0 253.
The FPB system can detect and alert
to pedestrians and cyclists in a
forward gear at speeds between
8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph). During daytime driving, the
system detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately 40 m
(131 ft). During night-time driving,
system performance is very limited.

Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle,
unless it detects a pedestrian or
cyclist. FPB may not detect
pedestrians, including children,
or cyclists:

Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to crash into
a pedestrian or cyclist 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 Braking
may engage the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB. A firm press of the
accelerator pedal will also release
Automatic Braking and the EPB.
{ Warning
FPB may alert or automatically
brake the vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is unexpected
and undesired. It could falsely alert
or brake for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians or cyclists,
including shadows. This is normal
operation and the vehicle does not
need service. To override Automatic
Braking, firmly press the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled
through vehicle personalisation. See
“Front Pedestrian Detection” in
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 121.
{ Warning
Using the Front Pedestrian Braking
system while towing a trailer could
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the system
to Alert or Off when towing a
trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate
properly, cleaning the outside of the
windscreen in front of the rear-view
mirror may correct the issue.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
to avoid a collision with vehicles
moving in the side blind zone, or blind
spot areas. When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in that blind zone.
If the indicator is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the same
side, the display will flash as an extra
warning not to change lanes. Since
this system is part of the Lane Change
Alert (LCA) system, read the entire
LCA section before using this feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding lane change crashes
that occur with moving vehicles in the
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
side blind zone (or spot) areas or with
vehicles rapidly approaching these
areas from behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside side mirror and
will flash if the indicator is on.
LCA Detection Zones
{ Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to
vehicles outside of the system
detection zones, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. It may not
provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. Failure
to use proper care when changing
lanes may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. Before making a
lane change, always check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use
the indicators.
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m
(11 ft). The height of the zone is
approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. The
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning
area starts at approximately the
middle of the vehicle and goes back
5 m (16 ft). Drivers are also warned of
vehicles rapidly approaching from up
to 70 m (230 ft) behind the vehicle.
257
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
rapidly approaching that zone from
behind. A lit LCA symbol indicates it
may be unsafe to change lanes. Before
making a lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the indicators.
Left Side Mirror
Display
Right Side Mirror
Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror LCA displays will
briefly come on to indicate the system
is operating. When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right side
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane
over in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the indicator
is activated in the same direction as a

as an extra warning not to change
lanes.
LCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalisation. When you disable
LCA, SBZA is also disabled. See Vehicle
Personalisation 0 121. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA mirror
displays will not light up.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving
for the system to calibrate to
maximum performance. This
calibration may occur more quickly if
the vehicle is driving on a straight
motorway with traffic and roadside
objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, for a
stopped vehicle, or when towing a
trailer. The LCA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer. LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such as a
trailer, bicycle, or object extending out
to either side of the vehicle. Attached
objects may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
If the LCA displays do not illuminate
when moving vehicles are in the side
blind zone or are rapidly approaching
this zone and the system is clean, the
system may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
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.
Traffic Sign Assistant
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 0 351.
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.
Traffic sign assistant recognises
designated traffic signs via the front
camera located behind the windscreen
in front of the interior rear view
mirror, and displays the detected
speed limit in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). Additionally, speed limit
information from the navigation
system map database may be used.
Caution
The system is intended to assist the
driver within a defined speed range
to discern certain traffic signs.
Always pay attention to posted
speed limit signs.
Do not ignore traffic signs which
are not displayed by the system.

Caution (Continued)
Display Indication
The system does not discern any
signs other than the conventional
traffic signs that might give or end
a speed limit. It may not detect
some electronic speed signs.
The currently detected speed limit is
displayed in the DIC until the next
speed limit or end of speed limit sign
is detected.
Depending on the weather
conditions or problems with traffic
signs, a traffic sign may not be
recognised or a sign different from
the actual traffic sign may be
displayed.
Do not let this special feature tempt
you into taking risks when driving.
Always adapt vehicle speed to the
road conditions.
Driver assistance systems do not
relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle operation.
Traffic signs that are detected are:
. Construction Zones
. Speed Limit
. School Zone
. Constraint Signs
259
Once activated, and if the Traffic Sign
Memory page is currently not
displayed, a newly detected speed
limit is briefly displayed as a pop-up
alert in the DIC.
The current valid speed limit is
displayed permanently in the lower
line of the DIC or upper left of the
instrument cluster, depending on the
vehicle. If a speed sign with an add on
sign is detected, a 1 symbol is also
displayed.
Exceeding Indicated Speed Limit
The indication of multiple signs on
the display is possible. A (–) symbol in
a frame indicates there is a sign
detected which cannot be clearly
identified by the system.

Navigation System Traffic Sign
Detection
The currently displayed sign can
either originate from sign detection
using the camera, or from the
navigation system map data. If the
currently displayed sign originates
from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will
be displayed. This may lead to
detection of a new sign, although no
sign on the road may have been
passed.
Limitations
Traffic sign memory may not operate
correctly if:
. The area of the windscreen, where
the front camera is located, is not
clean or is affected by foreign
objects, e.g. stickers, window
tinting, etc.
. Traffic signs are completely or
partially covered, are too low or
high or difficult to discern.
. Traffic signs are incorrectly
mounted or are damaged.
. Traffic signs do not comply with the
approved traffic sign standards.
. The speed limit is displayed by
certain types of electronic speed
signs.
. There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
. The headlights are dirty or not
correctly aligned when driving at
night.
. The navigation map data is out
of date.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. This system uses a camera
to detect lane markings. The LKA may
be ready to assist at speeds between
50 km/h (31 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 centred in the
lane. LKA will not assist and alert if
the indicator is active in the direction
of lane departure, or if it detects that
you are accelerating, braking or
actively steering. LKA can be
overridden by turning the steering
wheel. If the system detects you are
steering intentionally across a lane
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 windscreen
or headlamps are blocked by dirt,

snow or ice; if they are not in
proper condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the camera.
. Detect road edges.
. Detect lanes on winding or hilly
roads.
Using LKA on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Turn the system off.
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 windscreen, headlamps
and camera sensors clean and in
good repair. Do not use LKA in bad
weather conditions or on roads with
unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{ Warning
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 towing vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor installed on
the windscreen ahead of the rearview
mirror to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assistance if it
detects an unintended lane departure.
It may further provide an audible
alert, or the driver seat may pulse,
indicating that a lane marking has
been crossed. The system does not
261
provide a Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press A on
the centre console. If equipped, the
indicator light on the button
illuminates when LKA is on and turns
off when LKA is disabled.
When activated, A is white,
if equipped, indicating that the system
is not ready to assist. A is green if
LKA is ready to assist. LKA may assist
by gently turning the steering wheel if
the vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking. A is amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by
flashing A amber if the vehicle
crosses a detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be three
beeps, or the driver seat may pulse
three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure
direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,

262
DRIVING AND OPERATING
an alert and chime may be provided.
Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA may
become temporarily unavailable after
repeated false steering alerts.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
. Close vehicles ahead.
. Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the
windscreen 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
windscreen behind the rearview
mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.

methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT),
which can damage the emissions
control system and spark plugs.
. Fuel with a posted octane rating
of less than the recommended

fuel economy and performance,
and may decrease the life of the
emissions catalyst.
Fuel Additives (Diesel)
GM recommends the use of ACDelco
Diesel Fuel conditioner. This will help
maintain optimal engine performance.
GM does not recommend other
aftermarket diesel additives.
In the event you refuel using
low-quality diesel, GM recommends
adding ACDelco Fuel System
263
Treatment Plus-Diesel to the vehicle's
fuel tank. ACDelco Fuel System
Treatment Plus-Diesel can help clean
engine deposits and is available at
your GM dealership.
Fuel Additives (Petrol)
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is highly
recommended for use with your
vehicle. If your country does not have
TOP TIER Detergent Petrol, add
ACDelco Fuel System Treatment
Plus-Petrol to the vehicle's petrol fuel
tank at every oil change or 15 000 km
(9,000 mi), whichever occurs first. TOP
TIER Detergent Petrol and ACDelco
Fuel System Treatment Plus-Petrol
will help keep your vehicle's engine
fuel deposit free and performing
optimally. If you are unable to obtain
ACDelco Fuel System Treatment Plus Gasoline, consult your retailer for the
GM-approved additive available in
your country.

DRIVING AND OPERATING
Fuel for Diesel Engines
Caution
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
with the required technical
standards may lead to engine power
loss, increased wear, or engine
damage and may void your
warranty.
If the vehicle is accidentally
refuelled with petrol, do not
continue driving the vehicle.
Driving the vehicle will damage the
fuel system. Have the vehicle towed
to a qualified technician to have the
petrol removed from the tank and
fuel system. Refuel with Ultra Low
Sulphur Diesel fuel. It is also
recommended to have the fuel
system flushed with Ultra Low
Sulphur Diesel, to ensure all petrol
is removed.
The selection of a high-quality fuel is
important for maintaining optimum
vehicle performance. Diesel fuel
should meet or exceed the minimum
requirements in the most current
versions of the local fuel standards.
Some improper fuels are:
Do not use fuel with more than 15
ppm sulphur. If available, use of diesel
fuel with less sulphur is highly
recommended for better emissions. In
countries where 15 ppm or lower
sulphur is not available, do not use
diesel fuel with sulphur greater than
50 ppm. In these countries only, the
vehicle is already designed to
accommodate this level of sulphur.
. Triglyceride fuels, such as raw
. Diesel fuel with the addition of
petrol.
. Diesel fuel mixed with engine oil
or automatic gearbox fluid.
vegetable oil or animal fat, in any
form, including with blends of
diesel or biodiesel.
. Marine diesel fuel and fuel oils.
. Diesel-water emulsions, such as
Aquazole.
. Aftermarket diesel fuel additives,
which contain alcohol,
organo-metallic additives,
or water emulsifiers.
Some conditions, such as dirty fuel,
may decrease fuel filter life and a
CHANGE FUEL FILTER message may
come on in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC).
Climate Grade Diesel Fuels
At temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F),
avoid using biodiesel blends above 7%
by volume. Using such a fuel may
cause fuel filter plugging, system
gelling, and freezing, which may
adversely affect vehicle starting.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Severe winter grade diesel fuel, such
as 1-D diesel fuel or Arctic grade
diesel fuel, can be used in extreme
cold temperatures (below −18 °C or
0 °F); however, doing so will reduce
power and fuel economy. Avoid using
severe winter grade fuel in warm or
hot climates. It may result in stalling,
poor starting, and damage to the fuel
injection system.
Fuels improperly blended for cold
temperature operation may result in
restricted fuel filters. The vehicle is
equipped with a fuel heating system
to prevent gelling or waxing of
conventional diesel fuel and biodiesel
blends, but may not prevent all cases.
In the event of severe winter
conditions, the fuel filter may become
clogged by wax naturally present in
the fuel. To unclog it, move the
vehicle to a warm garage area and
allow the filter to warm up. The fuel
filter may need to be replaced. See
Fuel Filter Replacement (Diesel) 0 269.

Biodiesel
Caution
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced
from vegetable oils or animal fats that
have been chemically modified to
make it compatible with diesel fuel.
Do not use blends containing more
than 7% by volume biodiesel. Any
engine, fuel system, or exhaust
after-treatment system damage
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
Do not use homemade biodiesel or
home test kits because the quality
cannot be verified by approved
scientific methods. Do not use raw
vegetable oil or other unmodified
bio-oils, fats, or blends of vegetable
oil with diesel. They could damage
the fuel system and engine, and
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.
Biodiesel Blends
Fuels with a biodiesel content up to
7% by volume may be used (e.g.,
named B7). Only use biodiesel blends
up to 7% by volume that comply with
your country's or region's fuel
standards.
As a renewable fuel, biodiesel provides
some environmental benefits.
However, biodiesel has unique
properties and needs to be handled
differently than diesel fuel. Its use
presents additional risks and may not
be appropriate in all situations.
Certain vehicle operating modes
increase these risks and should be
avoided.
Biodiesel fuel quality degrades with
time and exposure to high
temperature more quickly than Ultra
Low Sulphur Diesel fuel. More
frequent refuelling provides the best
opportunity to have a supply of fresh
fuel. Storage at hot ambient
temperatures will accelerate biodiesel
degradation.

266
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Owners who use little fuel, or who
have vehicles stored for extended
periods of time, should avoid the use
of biodiesel blended fuels above 5% by
volume. When vehicles are stored for
longer than one month, they should
be run out of biodiesel to below
one quarter tank, refuelled with
biodiesel-free diesel fuel, and driven
several kilometres (miles) before
storage.

Water in Fuel (Diesel)
Improper fuel tank inspection or
cleaning, or contaminated fuel from
suppliers, may cause water to be
pumped into the fuel tank along with
the diesel fuel. If a WATER IN FUEL
message displays in the DIC, the water
must be drained immediately.
{ Warning
Diesel fuel containing water is still
combustible. You or others could be
burned. If the fuel needs to be
drained, keep sparks, flames, and
smoking materials away from the
mixture.
Caution
Water in the diesel fuel may
corrode internal components of the
fuel system and lead to severe
damage. It may also support fungus
or bacteria growth, which may
damage the fuel system. Even with
a diesel fuel biocide, the fuel system
may still need to be cleaned. Your
retailer can advise of the
appropriate solution.
If the fuel tank needs to be purged
to remove water, see your retailer or
a qualified technician. Improper
purging may damage the fuel
system.

without applying the brake for
five seconds to place the vehicle in
Service Mode. See Ignition Positions
0 205. Wait approximately
five seconds, and then press
ENGINE START/STOP again to
turn it off. This operation will
enhance water flow out of the
filter. The filter is drained as soon
as diesel fuel emerges from
the port.
5. Retighten the drain plug by turning
it clockwise.
For the fuel system to work properly,
there must not be any air in the fuel
lines. If air does enter, the engine may
not start and the fuel lines will need
to be primed before operating the
vehicle.
If air is present, the following may
have occurred:
. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
. The fuel filter was removed.
. The fuel lines were removed or
disconnected.
. The fuel filter water drain valve was
opened while the engine was
running.

Trailer Towing
General Towing
Information
Only use towing equipment that has
been designed for the vehicle. Contact
your retailer or trailer retailer for
assistance with preparing the vehicle
to tow a trailer. Read the entire
section before towing a trailer.
To tow a disabled vehicle, see Towing
the Vehicle 0 349.
Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips
{ Warning
You can lose control when towing a
trailer if the correct equipment is
not used or the vehicle is not driven
properly. For example, if the trailer
is too heavy or the trailer brakes are
inadequate for the load, the vehicle
may not stop as expected. You and
others could be seriously injured.
The vehicle may also be damaged,
and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Pull a trailer only if all the steps in
this section have been followed. Ask
your dealer for advice and
information about towing a trailer
with the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just driving
the vehicle by itself. Trailer towing
means changes in handling,
acceleration, braking, durability, and
fuel economy. Successful, safe
trailering takes correct equipment,
and it has to be used properly.
The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips
and safety rules. Many of these are
important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this section
carefully before pulling a trailer.
When towing a trailer:
. Become familiar with and follow all
state and local laws that apply to
trailer towing. These requirements
vary from state to state.
. 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 the engine, axle,
or other parts.
. It is recommended to perform the
first oil change before heavy towing.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
. 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 the
transmission downshifts too often, a
lower gear may be selected using
Manual Mode See Manual Mode
0 220.
If equipped, the following driver
assistance features should be turned
off when towing a trailer:
. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
. Super Cruise Control
. Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
. Park Assist
. Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
. Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
If equipped, the following driver
assistance features should be turned
to alert or off when towing a trailer:
. Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
. Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
. Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
If equipped with Lane Change Alert
(LCA), the LCA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer.
If equipped with Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA), exercise caution while
reversing when towing a trailer, as the
RCTA detection zones that extend out
from the back of the vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
{ Warning
To prevent serious injury or death
from carbon monoxide (CO) when
towing a trailer:
. Do not drive with the tailgate,
boot/hatch, or rear-most
window open.
. Fully open the air outlets on or
under the instrument panel.

Towing a trailer requires experience.
The combination of the vehicle and
trailer is longer and not as responsive
as the vehicle itself. Get used to the
handling and braking of the
combination by driving on a level road
surface before driving on public roads.
The trailer structure, the tyres, and
the brakes must all be rated to carry
the intended load. Inadequate trailer
equipment can cause the combination
to operate in an unexpected or unsafe
manner. Before driving, inspect all
trailer hitch parts and attachments,
safety chains, electrical connectors,
lamps, tyres, and mirrors. See Towing
Equipment 0 280. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start the combination

during cornering. This is normal when
towing heavier trailers.
beyond the overtaken vehicle before
turning back into the lane. Overtaking
on level roadways. Avoid overtaking
on hills if possible.
Reversing
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel
with one hand. To move the trailer to
the left, move that hand to the left. To
move the trailer to the right, move
that hand to the right. Always reverse
slowly and, if possible, have someone
guide you.
Making Turns
Following Distance
Caution
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving without a trailer. This can help
to avoid heavy braking and sudden
turns.
Turn more slowly and make wider
arcs when towing a trailer to
prevent damage to your vehicle.
Making very sharp turns could
cause the trailer to make contact
with the vehicle.
Overtaking
More overtaking distance is needed
when towing a trailer. The
combination of the vehicle and trailer
will not accelerate as quickly and is
much longer than the vehicle alone.
You need to drive much farther
Make wider turns than normal when
towing, so the trailer does not go over
soft shoulders, over kerbs, or collide
with road signs, trees, or other objects.
Always indicate turns well in advance.
Do not steer or brake suddenly.
Driving on Grades
Reduce speed and change to a lower
gear before starting down a long or
steep downhill grade. If the
transmission is not shifted down, the
brakes may overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
The vehicle can tow in D (Drive). Shift
the transmission to a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often under
heavy loads and/or hilly conditions.
When towing at higher altitudes,
engine coolant will boil at a lower
temperature than at lower altitudes.
If the engine is turned off immediately
after towing at high altitude on steep
uphill grades, the vehicle could show
signs similar to engine overheating. To
avoid this, let the engine run,
preferably on level ground, with the
transmission in P (Park) for a few
minutes before turning the engine off.
If the overheat warning comes on, see
Engine Overheating 0 299.

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 the brake pedal, but do not
shift into P (Park) yet. Turn the
wheels into the curb if facing
downhill or into traffic if facing

The vehicle needs to be serviced more
often when used to tow trailers. See
Maintenance Schedule (Petrol) 0 361 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel) 0 364 for
more information. It is especially
important to check the automatic
gearbox fluid, engine oil, axle
lubricant, belts, cooling system, and
brake system before and during
each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts and
bolts on the trailer hitch are tight.

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 retailer for
important information about
towing a trailer with the vehicle.
Trailering is different than just driving
the vehicle by itself. Trailer towing
means changes in handling,
acceleration, braking, durability, and
fuel economy. Successful, safe
trailering takes correct equipment,
and it has to be used properly.
The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips
and safety rules. Many of these are

important for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this section
carefully before pulling a trailer.
Trailer Weight
{ Warning
Never exceed the towing capacity
for your vehicle.
Safe trailer towing requires monitoring
of the weight, speed, altitude, road
gradients, outside temperature,
dimensions of the front of the trailer,
and how frequently the vehicle is used
to tow a trailer.
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:
. GCWR: Gross Combined Weight
Rating
. GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
. Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
. Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight
Rating
See “Trailer Brakes” under Towing
Equipment 0 280.
The only way to be sure that the
weight does not exceed any of these
ratings is to weigh the towing vehicle
and trailer combination, fully loaded
for the trip, getting individual weights
for each of these items.
{ Warning
You and others could be seriously
injured or killed if the trailer is too
heavy or the trailer brakes are
inadequate for the load. The vehicle
may be damaged, and the repairs
would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Only tow a trailer if all the steps in
this section have been followed. Ask
your retailer for advice and
information about towing a trailer.
Gross Combined Weight
Rating (GCWR)
GCWR is the total allowable weight of
the completely loaded vehicle and
trailer including any fuel, passengers,
cargo, equipment, and accessories. Do
not exceed the GCWR for your vehicle.
The GCWR for the vehicle is in the
following Tow Rating Chart.
Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR)
For information about the vehicle's
maximum load capacity, see Vehicle
Load Limits 0 200. When calculating
the GVWR with a trailer attached, the
trailer tongue weight must be
included as part of the weight the
vehicle is carrying.
Maximum Trailer Weight
The maximum trailer weight rating is
calculated assuming the towing
vehicle has a driver, a front seat
passenger, and all required trailer
towing equipment. This value
represents the heaviest trailer the
vehicle can tow, but it may be
necessary to reduce the trailer weight
to stay within the GCW, GVWR,
maximum trailer tongue load,
or GAWR-RR for the vehicle.
Use the tow rating chart to determine
how much the trailer can weigh, based
on the vehicle model and options.

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

DRIVING AND OPERATING
possible to transfer 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 the trailer.
The trailer tongue weight (1) should
be 4% 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 to see if the weights are
appropriate for your vehicle. If the
trailer weight is too high, it may be
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.
Towing Equipment
Hitches
If equipped with trailer towing, the
vehicle has a factory installed swivel
style trailer hitch with an integrated
ball neck.
Hitch Cover
If a cargo carrier is used in the trailer
hitch receiver, choose a carrier that
positions the load as close to the
vehicle as possible. Make sure the
total weight, including the carrier, is
no more than half of the maximum
allowable tongue weight for the
vehicle.
Ask your retailer for trailer towing
information or assistance.
To remove hitch cover, if equipped:
1. Remove the two fasteners on the
lower tabs.
2. Pull the lower edge of the cover to
about a 45 degree angle.
3. Pull the cover downward to
disengage the upper attachments.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
To reinstall the hitch cover:
1. Hold the cover at a 45 degree angle
to the vehicle and push the upper
tabs into the slots in the bumper.
2. Push the bottom of the cover
forward until the lower tabs line up
with the lower slots.
3. Snap the hitch cover into place by
pushing the upper corners forward.
4. Reinstall the two fasteners on the
lower tabs.
Trailer Hitch
Never unlock the hitch ball neck while
towing or with an accessory attached.
If the warning buzzer does not stop,
do not use the hitch and have it
checked and serviced to ensure it is
safe to use.
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
281
weight-carrying hitch which has 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” under Trailer
Towing 0 277 for weight limits with
various hitch types.
Consider using mechanical sway
controls with any trailer. Ask a
trailering professional about sway
controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.
1. Remove the hitch cover. See “Hitch
Cover” above.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not
attach to the bumper.
To use the factory installed hitch:
2. Pull the handle to unlock the ball
neck from the stowed position. The
ball neck will partially pivot down.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
282
DRIVING AND OPERATING
A warning buzzer will sound while
the ball neck is unlocked.
3. Pull the ball neck rearward until it
locks with the ball centred and
pointing up.
A click should be heard and the
warning buzzer will stop.
To stow the hitch:
1. Pull on the handle to unlock the
ball neck.
The warning buzzer will sound
while the ball neck is unlocked.
2. Push the ball neck forward and up
until it locks into place.
The warning buzzer will stop when
the ball neck is locked.
Tyres
. Do not tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tyre on the vehicle.
. Tyres must be properly inflated to
support loads while towing a trailer.
See Tyres 0 319 for instructions on
proper tyre 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 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.
Regional or local regulations may
require trailers to have their own
braking system if the loaded weight of
the trailer exceeds certain minimums
that can vary from region to region.
Read and follow the instructions for
the trailer brakes so they are installed,
adjusted, and maintained properly.
Never attempt to tap into your
vehicle's hydraulic brake system.
If you do, both the vehicle anti-lock
brakes and the trailer brakes may not
function, which could result in a
collision.
Trailer Wiring Harness
Basic Trailer Wiring
The trailer wiring harness is located at
the rear of the vehicle and is tied to
the vehicle's frame. The harness
connector can be plugged into a
trailer connector available through
your retailer.
The swivel-style factory installed hitch
has a standard 13-pin connector
integrated into the ball neck that is
accessible when the hitch cover is
removed and the hitch is deployed.
Trailer Lamps
Always check that all trailer lamps are
working at the beginning of each trip,
and periodically on longer trips.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING
Turn Signals When Towing a
Trailer
When properly connected, the trailer
indicators will illuminate to indicate
the vehicle is turning, changing lanes,
or stopping. When towing a trailer,
the arrows on the instrument cluster
will illuminate even if the trailer is not
properly connected or the bulbs are
burned out.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) have a Trailer
Sway Control (TSC) feature. Trailer
sway is unintended side-to-side
motion of a trailer while towing. If the
vehicle is towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is increasing, the
vehicle brakes are selectively applied
at each wheel, to help reduce
excessive trailer sway. If equipped with
the Integrated Trailer Brake Control
(ITBC) system, and the trailer has an
electric brake system, StabiliTrak/ESC
may also apply the trailer brakes.
283
Warning (Continued)
If TSC is enabled, the Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak/ESC warning
light will flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed by
gradually removing your foot from the
accelerator. If trailer sway continues,
StabiliTrak/ESC can reduce engine
torque to help slow the vehicle. TSC
will not function if StabiliTrak/ESC is
turned off. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 224.
{ Warning
Trailer sway can result in a crash
and in serious injury or death, even
if the vehicle is equipped with TSC.
If the trailer begins to sway, reduce
vehicle speed by gradually removing
your foot from the accelerator. Then
pull over to check the trailer and
vehicle to help correct possible

causes, including an improperly or
overloaded trailer, unsecured load,
improper trailer hitch configuration,
or improperly inflated or incorrect
vehicle or trailer tyres. See Towing
Equipment 0 280 for trailer ratings
and hitch setup recommendations.
Trailer Tyres
Special Trailer (ST) tyres differ from
vehicle tyres. Trailer tyres are
designed with stiff sidewalls to help
prevent sway and to support heavy
loads. These features can make it
difficult to determine if the trailer tyre
pressures are low only based on a
visual inspection.
Always check all trailer tyre pressures
before each trip when the tyres are
cool. Low trailer tyre pressure is a
leading cause of trailer tyre blowouts.
Trailer tyres deteriorate over time. The
trailer tyre sidewall will show the
week and year the tyre was
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
284
DRIVING AND OPERATING
manufactured. Many trailer tyre
manufacturers recommend replacing
tyres more than six years old.
Conversions and
Add-Ons
Overloading is another leading cause
of trailer tyre blowouts. Never load
your trailer with more weight than the
tyres are designed to support. The
load rating is located on the trailer
tyre sidewall.
Add-On Electrical
Equipment
Always know the maximum speed
rating for the trailer tyres before
driving. This may be significantly
lower than the vehicle tyre speed
rating. The speed rating may be on
the trailer tyre sidewall. If the speed
rating is not shown, the default trailer
tyre speed rating is 105 km/h
(65 mph).
{ Warning
The Data Link Connector (DLC) is
used for vehicle service and
Emission Inspection/Maintenance
testing. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine Light) 0 106.
A device connected to the DLC —
such as an aftermarket fleet or
driver-behaviour tracking device —
may interfere with vehicle systems.
This could affect vehicle operation
and cause a crash. Such devices
may also access information stored
in the vehicle's systems.
Caution
Some electrical equipment can
damage the vehicle or cause
components not to work and would

not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always check with your
dealer before adding electrical
equipment.
Add-on equipment can drain the
vehicle's 12-volt battery, even if the
vehicle is not operating.
The vehicle has an airbag system.

Checking Brake Fluid
With the vehicle in P (Park) on a level
surface, the brake fluid level should be
between the minimum and maximum
marks on the brake fluid reservoir.
There are only two reasons why the
brake fluid level in the reservoir may
go down:
. Normal brake lining wear. When
new linings are installed, the fluid
level goes back up.
. A fluid leak in the brake hydraulic
system. Have the brake hydraulic
system fixed. With a leak, the
brakes will not work well.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir
cap and the area around the cap
before removing it.
Do not top off the brake fluid. Adding
fluid does not correct a leak. If fluid is
added when the linings are worn,
there will be too much fluid when
new brake linings are installed. Add or
remove fluid, as necessary, only when
work is done on the brake hydraulic
system.
{ Warning
If too much brake fluid is added, it
can spill on the engine and burn,
if the engine is hot enough. You or
others could be burned, and the
vehicle could be damaged. Add
brake fluid only when work is done
on the brake hydraulic system.
When the brake fluid falls to a low
level, the brake warning light comes

vehicle in case it begins to roll. Be
ready to apply the regular brake at
once should the vehicle begin
to move.
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the
vehicle facing downhill. Keeping your
foot on the regular brake, apply the
parking brake.
. To check the parking brake's
holding ability: With the engine
running and the transmission in
N (Neutral), slowly remove foot
pressure from the regular brake
pedal. Do this until the vehicle is
held by the parking brake only.
. To check the P (Park) mechanism's
holding ability: With the engine
running, shift to P (Park). Then
release the parking brake followed
by the regular brake.
Contact your dealer if service is
required.
Wiper Blade Replacement

Back-Up Lamps
2. Access the lamp through the
opening in the underbody.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector
from the bulb assembly.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the
current load returns to normal or the
problem is fixed. This greatly reduces
the chance of circuit overload and fire
caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be borrowed.
Choose some feature of the vehicle
that is not needed to use and replace
it as soon as possible.
To replace one of these bulbs:
4. Turn the bulb socket anticlockwise
and pull the bulb straight out of
the socket.
5. Replace the bulb and reverse Steps
1–4 to reinstall.
Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
1. Remove the fasteners to remove
the trailer hitch cover.
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
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.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21

4. If the fuse must be replaced
immediately, borrow a replacement
fuse with the same amperage from
the fuse block. Choose a vehicle
feature that is not needed to safely
operate the vehicle. Repeat
Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into
the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your
dealer to replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away if
the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windscreen Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windscreen
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Locate the fuse puller in the engine
compartment fuse block.
3. Use the fuse puller to remove the
fuse from the top or side, as shown
above.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiper

VEHICLE CARE
linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windscreen
before using the windscreen wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
{ Warning
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.
Installation or use of fuses that do
not meet GM's original fuse
specifications is dangerous. The
fuses could fail, and result in a fire.
You or others could be injured or
killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
{
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.
Caution
See Accessories and Modifications
0 286 and
General Information 0 286.
Do not pull the engine
compartment fuse block lever, since
it is intended only for service
purposes. If pulled, vehicle
malfunction may occur.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see
Electrical System Overload 0 308.
Caution
Engine Compartment Fuse
Block
The under bonnet fuse block is in the
engine compartment, on the driver
side of the vehicle.
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may

Wheels and Tyres
Tyres
Every new GM vehicle has
high-quality tyres made by a
leading tyre manufacturer. See the
warranty manual for information
regarding the tyre warranty and
where to get service. For
additional information refer to the
tyre manufacturer.
319
{ Warning
Poorly maintained and
improperly used tyres are
dangerous.
. Overloading the tyres can
cause overheating as a result
of too much flexing. There
could be a blowout and a
serious crash. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0 200.
. Underinflated tyres pose the
same danger as overloaded
tyres. The resulting crash
could cause serious injury.
Check all tyres frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tyre pressure
should be checked when the
tyres are cold.
. Overinflated tyres are more
likely to be cut, punctured,
or broken by a sudden impact
.
(Continued)

Warning (Continued)
.
.
.
.
- such as when hitting a
pothole. Keep tyres at the
recommended pressure.
Worn or old tyres can cause a
crash. If the tread is badly
worn, replace them.
Replace any tyres that have
been damaged by impacts
with potholes, curbs, etc.
Improperly repaired tyres can
cause a crash. Only your
dealer or an authorised tyre
service centre should repair,
replace, remove, and reinstall
the tyres.
Do not spin the tyres in
excess of 56 km/h (35 mph)
on slippery surfaces such as
snow, mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the tyres
to explode.
See Tyre Pressure for High-Speed
Operation 0 322 for inflation
pressure adjustment for
high-speed driving.
Winter Tyres
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tyres. Winter
tyres are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice-covered
roads. Consider installing winter tyres
on the vehicle if frequent driving on
ice or snow covered roads is expected.
See your dealer for details regarding
winter tyre availability and proper tyre
selection. Also, see Buying New Tyres
0 330.
With winter tyres, there may be
decreased dry road traction, increased
road noise and shorter tread life. After
changing to winter tyres, be alert for
changes in the vehicle handling and
braking.
If using winter tyres:
. Use tyres of the same brand and
tread type on all four wheel
positions.
. Use only radial ply tyres of the
same size, load range and speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment tyres
may not be available for H, V, W, Y
and ZR speed rated tyres. If winter
tyres with a lower speed rating are
chosen, never exceed the tyre's
maximum speed capability.
Summer Tyres
This vehicle may come with
235/55R18 or 245/45R20 high
performance summer tyres. These
tyres have a special tread and
compound that are optimised for
maximum dry and wet road
performance. This special tread and
compound will have decreased
performance in cold climates, and on
ice and snow. It is recommended that
winter tyres be installed on the
vehicle if frequent driving at
temperatures below approximately
5 °C (40 °F) or on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See Winter Tyres
0 320.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
VEHICLE CARE
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop surface
cracks in the tread area at
temperatures below -7 °C (20 °F).
Always store high performance
summer tires indoors and at
temperatures above -7 °C (20 °F)
when not in use. If the tires have
been subjected to -7 °C (20 °F) or
less, let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before being
installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not
apply heat or blow heated air
directly on the tyres. Always inspect
tyres before use. See Tyre Inspection
0 327.
Tyre Pressure
Tyres need the correct amount of
air pressure to operate effectively.
{ Warning
Neither tyre underinflation nor
overinflation is good.
Underinflated tyres, or tyres
that do not have enough air,
can result in:
. Tyre overloading and
overheating, which could lead
to a blowout.
. Premature or irregular wear.
. Poor handling.
. Reduced fuel economy.
Overinflated tyres, or tyres that
have too much air, can result in:
. Unusual wear.
. Poor handling.
. Rough ride.
. Needless damage from road
hazards.
321
The Tyre and Loading Information
label on the vehicle indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correct cold tyre inflation
pressures. The recommended
pressure is the minimum air
pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits
0 200.
How the vehicle is loaded affects
vehicle handling and ride comfort.
Never load the vehicle with more
weight than it was designed to
carry.
When to Check
Check the pressure of the tyres
once a month or more. Do not
forget the compact spare, if the
vehicle has one. The compact
spare cold tyre pressure should be

How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type
gauge to check tyre pressure.
Proper tyre inflation cannot be
determined by looking at the tyre.
Check the tyre inflation pressure
when the tyres are cold, meaning
the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours or no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the
tyre valve stem. Press the tyre
gauge firmly onto the valve to get
a pressure measurement. If the
cold tyre inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tyre and Loading
Information label, no further
adjustment is necessary. If the
inflation pressure is low, add air
until the recommended pressure is
reached. If the inflation pressure
is high, press on the metal stem in
the centre of the tyre valve to
release air.
Recheck the tyre pressure with the
tyre gauge.
Refit the valve caps on the valve
stems to keep out dirt and
moisture. Use only valve caps
designed for the vehicle by GM.
TPMS sensors could be damaged
and would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Tyre Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{ Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts
additional strain on tyres. Sustained
high-speed driving causes excessive
heat build-up and can cause sudden
tyre failure. This could cause a
crash, and you or others could be
killed. Some high-speed rated tyres
require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and
road conditions allow the vehicle to

cold tyre inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with tyre sizes listed in the
High Speed Operation Inflation
Pressures table require inflation
pressure adjustment when driving the
vehicle at speeds of 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher. Set the cold tyre
inflation pressure to the
corresponding value in the table for

Tyre Pressure Monitor
System
Caution
Modifications made to the Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) by
anyone other than an authorised
service facility may void
authorisation to use the system.
The Tyre Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tyre pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor the
air pressure in your vehicle's tyres and
transmit tyre pressure readings to a
receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tyres of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre
inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tyre
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tyre pressure
telltale when one or more of your
tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tyre
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
324
VEHICLE CARE
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
See Tyre Pressure Monitor Operation
0 324 for additional information.
See Declaration of Conformity 0 376.
Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tyre Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS). The TPMS is
designed to warn the driver when a
low tyre pressure condition exists.
TPMS sensors are mounted onto each
tyre and wheel assembly, excluding
the spare tyre and wheel assembly.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit the
tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition is
detected, the TPMS illuminates the
low tyre pressure warning light on the
instrument cluster. If the warning
light comes on, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres to the
recommended pressure shown on the
Tyre and Loading Information label.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0 200.
A message to check the pressure in a
specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low tyre
pressure warning light and the DIC
warning message come on at each
ignition cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tyre pressure
levels can be viewed. For additional
information and details about the DIC
operation and displays see Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 0 115.
The low tyre pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle 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 Tyre and Loading Information label,
attached to your vehicle, shows the
size of the original equipment tyres
and the correct inflation pressure for
the tyres when they are cold. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 200 for an

example of the Tyre and Loading
Information label and its location.
Also see Tyre Pressure 0 321.
The TPMS can warn about a low tyre
pressure condition but it does not
replace normal tyre maintenance. See
Tyre Inspection 0 327, Tyre Rotation
0 328, and Tyres 0 319.
Caution
Tyre sealant materials are not all
the same. A non-approved tyre
sealant could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor damage
caused by using an incorrect tyre
sealant is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tyre sealant
available through your dealer or
included in the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tyre Inflater Kits use
a GM-approved liquid tyre sealant.
Using non-approved tyre sealants
could damage the TPMS sensors. See
Tyre Sealant and Compressor Kit 0 334
for information regarding the inflator
kit materials and instructions.
TPMS Malfunction Light and
Message
The TPMS will not function properly if
one or more of the TPMS sensors are
missing or inoperable. When the
system detects a malfunction, the low
tyre pressure warning light flashes for
about one minute and then stays on
for the remainder of the ignition cycle.
A DIC warning message also displays.
The malfunction light and DIC
warning message come on at each
ignition cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions that
can cause these to come on are:
. One of the road tyres has been
replaced with the spare tyre. The
spare tyre does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light and
DIC message should go off after the
road tyre is replaced and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See “TPMS Sensor
Matching Process” following.
. The TPMS sensor matching process
was not done or not completed
successfully after rotating the tyres.
The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off after
325
successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS
Sensor Matching Process" following.
. One or more TPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off when the
TPMS sensors are installed and the
sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See your
dealer for service.
. Replacement tyres or wheels do not
match the original equipment tyres
or wheels. Tyres and wheels other
than those recommended could
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. See Buying New Tyres
0 330.
. Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tyre pressure condition. See your
dealer for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC message
come on and stay on.

Tyre Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and
audible alerts outside the vehicle to
help when inflating an underinflated
tyre to the recommended cold tyre
pressure.
When the low tyre pressure warning
light comes on:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level
place.
2. Apply the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tyre that is
underinflated. The indicator lamp
will flash.
When the recommended pressure
is reached, the horn sounds once
and the indicator lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tyres that have
illuminated the low tyre pressure
warning light.
{ Warning
Overinflating a tyre could cause the
tyre to rupture and you or others
could be injured. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure listed on the
tyre sidewall.
If the tyre is overinflated by more
than 35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will
sound multiple times and the
indicator lamp will continue to flash
for several seconds after filling stops.
To release and correct the pressure,
while the indicator lamp is still
flashing, briefly press the centre of the
valve stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the indicator lamp does not flash
within 15 seconds after starting to
inflate the tyre, the tyre fill alert has
not been activated or is not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on,
the tyre fill alert visual feedback will
not work properly.
The TPMS will not activate the tyre
fill alert properly under the following
conditions:
. There is interference from an

There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
There is a malfunction in the horn
or indicator lamps.
The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the
system.
The battery of the TPMS sensor
is low.
If the tyre fill alert does not operate
due to TPMS interference, move the
vehicle about 1 m (3 ft) back or
forward and try again. If the tyre fill
alert feature is not working, use a tyre
pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique

code needs to be matched to a new
tyre/wheel position after rotating the
vehicle's tyres or replacing one or
more of the TPMS sensors. The TPMS
sensor matching process should also
be performed after replacing a spare

tyre with a road tyre containing the
TPMS sensor. The malfunction light
and the DIC message should go off at
the next ignition cycle. The sensors
are matched to the tyre/wheel
positions, using a TPMS relearn tool,
in the following order: driver side
front tyre, passenger side front tyre,
passenger side rear tyre, and driver
side rear tyre. See your dealer for
service or to purchase a relearn tool.
You have two minutes to match the
first tyre/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer,
the matching process stops and must
be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching process is
outlined below:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle in Service Mode.
See Ignition Positions 0 205.
3. Make sure the Tyre Pressure info
display option is turned on. The
info displays on the DIC can be
turned on and off through the
Options menu. See Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 0 115.
4. Use the DIC controls on the
right-hand side of the steering
wheel to scroll to the Tyre Pressure
screen under the DIC info page.
5. Press and hold the thumbwheel
located in the centre of the DIC
controls on the right-hand side of
the steering wheel.
The horn sounds twice to signal
the receiver is in relearn mode and
the TYRE LEARNING ACTIVE
message displays on the DIC
screen.
6. Start with the driver side front tyre.
7. Place the relearn tool against the
tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.
Then press the button to activate
the TPMS sensor. A horn chirp
confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this tyre and wheel
position.
8. Proceed to the passenger side front
tyre, and repeat the procedure in
Step 7.
9. Proceed to the passenger side rear
tyre, and repeat the procedure in
Step 7.
327
10. Proceed to the driver side rear tyre,
and repeat the procedure in Step 7.
The horn sounds two times to
indicate the sensor identification
code has been matched to the
driver side rear tyre, and the TPMS
sensor matching process is no
longer active. The TYRE LEARNING
ACTIVE message on the DIC
display screen goes off.
11. Turn the vehicle off.
12. Set all four tyres to the
recommended air pressure level as
indicated on the Tyre and Loading
Information label.
Tyre Inspection
We recommend that the tyres,
including the spare tyre, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected for
signs of wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tyre if:
. The indicators at three or more
places around the tyre can
be seen.

VEHICLE CARE
There is cord or fabric showing
through the tyre's rubber.
. The tread or sidewall is cracked,
cut, or snagged deep enough to
show cord or fabric.
. The tyre has a bump, bulge,
or split.
. The tyre has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot be
repaired well because of the size
or location of the damage.
.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tyres as soon as
possible, check for proper tyre
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tyres or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is Time for
New Tyres 0 329 and
Wheel Replacement 0 332.
Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor
System. See Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation 0 324.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” under Capacities and
Specifications 0 373, and
“Removing the Flat Tyre and
Installing the Spare Tyre” under
Tyre Changing 0 341.
Tyre Rotation
Tyres should be rotated according
to the interval listed in the
maintenance schedule. See
Maintenance Schedule (Petrol)
0 361 or
Maintenance Schedule (Diesel)
0 364.
Tyres are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tyres.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Adjust the front and rear tyres to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tyre and Loading
Information label after the tyres
have been rotated. See Tyre
Pressure 0 321 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 200.
{ Warning
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tyres.
Do not include the compact spare
tyre in the tyre rotation.
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,

Warning (Continued)
remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches
to the vehicle. In an emergency,
a cloth or paper towel can be
used; however, use a scraper or
wire brush afterwards to remove
all rust or dirt.
When It Is Time for New
Tyres
Factors, such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds, vehicle
loading, and road conditions affect the
wear rate of the tyres.
Lightly coat the inner diameter of
the wheel hub opening with wheel
bearing grease after a wheel
change or tyre rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust build-up.
{ Warning
Do not apply grease to the
wheel mounting surface, wheel
conical seats, or the wheel nuts
or bolts. Grease applied to these
areas could cause a wheel to
become loose or detach,
resulting in a collision.
Tread wear indicators are one way to
tell when it is time for new tyres.
Tread wear indicators appear when
the tyres have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See Tyre
Inspection 0 327 and
Tyre Rotation 0 328 for additional
information.
329
The rubber in tyres ages over time.
This also applies to the spare tyre,
if the vehicle has one, even if it is
never used. Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading conditions, and
inflation pressure maintenance affect
how fast ageing takes place. GM
recommends that tyres, including the
spare if equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread wear. To
identify the age of a tyre, use the tyre
manufacture date, which consists of
the last four digits of the DOT Tyre
Identification Number (TIN) moulded
into one side of the tyre sidewall. The
last four digits of the TIN indicate the
tyre manufacture date. The first two
digits indicate the week and the last
two digits, the year. For example, the
third week of the year 2020 would
have a 4-digit DOT date of 0320. Week
01 is the first full week (Sunday to
Saturday inclusive) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tyres age when stored normally
mounted on a parked vehicle. Park a
vehicle that will be stored for at least
a month in a cool, dry, clean area
away from direct sunlight to slow

VEHICLE CARE
ageing. This area should be free of
grease, petrol, or other substances
that can deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended period can
cause flat spots on the tyres that may
result in vibrations while driving.
When storing a vehicle for at least a
month, remove the tyres or raise the
vehicle to reduce the weight from the
tyres.
Buying New Tyres
GM has developed and matched
specific tyres for the vehicle. The
original equipment tyres installed
were designed to meet General
Motors Tyre Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec) system
rating. When replacement tyres
are needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tyres with the
same TPC Spec rating.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec system
considers over a dozen critical
specifications that impact the
overall performance of the vehicle,
including brake system
performance, ride and handling,
traction control, and tyre pressure
monitoring performance. GM's
TPC Spec number is moulded onto
the tyre's sidewall near the tyre
size. If the tyres have an
all-season tread design, the TPC
Spec number will be followed by
MS for mud and snow.
GM recommends replacing worn
tyres in complete sets of four.
Uniform tread depth on all tyres
will help to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling performance
may be adversely affected if all the
tyres are not replaced at the same
time. If proper rotation and
maintenance have been done, all
four tyres should wear out at
about the same time. However,
if it is necessary to replace only
one axle set of worn tyres, place
the new tyres on the rear axle. See
Tyre Rotation 0 328.
{ Warning
Tyres could explode during
improper service. Attempting to
mount or dismount a tyre could
cause injury or death. Only your
dealer or authorised tyre service
centre should mount or
dismount the tyres.
{ Warning
Mixing tyres of different sizes
(other than those originally
installed on the vehicle), brands,
tread patterns or types may
cause loss of control of the
vehicle, resulting in a crash or
other vehicle damage. Use the
correct size, brand, and type of
tyre on all wheels.
Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-Europe-15440913) - 2022 CRC - 5/13/21
VEHICLE CARE
{ Warning
Using bias-ply tyres on the
vehicle may cause the wheel rim
flanges to develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tyre
and/or wheel could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. Use only
radial-ply tyres with the wheels
on the vehicle.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres may not be available for H,
V, W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres.
Never exceed the winter tyres'
maximum speed capability when
using winter tyres with a lower
speed rating.
If the vehicle tyres must be
replaced with a tyre that does not
have a TPC Spec number, make
sure they are the same size, load
range, speed rating, and
construction (radial) as the
original tyres.
The Tyre and Loading Information
label indicates the original
equipment tyres on the vehicle.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0 200.
Different Size Tyres and
Wheels
If wheels or tyres are installed that are
a different size than the original
equipment wheels and tyres, vehicle
performance, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover
may be affected. If the vehicle has
electronic systems such as antilock
brakes, rollover airbags, traction
control, electronic stability control,
or All-Wheel Drive, the performance
of these systems can also be affected.
{ Warning
If different sized wheels are used,
there may not be an acceptable
level of performance and safety if
tyres not recommended for those
wheels are selected. This increases
the chance of a crash and serious

Wheel Alignment and Tyre
Balance
The tyres and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tyre life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tyre balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider
an alignment check if there is unusual
tyre wear or the vehicle is significantly
pulling to one side or the other. Some
slight pull to the left or right,
depending on the crown of the road
and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts, is normal.

on a smooth road, the tyres and
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
See your dealer for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent,
cracked, or badly rusted or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the wheel leaks
air, replace it. Some aluminium wheels
can be repaired. See your dealer if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel
nuts, or Tyre Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{ Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts
can be dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of the
vehicle. Tyres can lose air, and
cause loss of control, causing a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
Used Replacement Wheels
{ 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. When replacing
wheels, use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Tyre Chains
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance,
and tyre or tyre chain clearance to
the body and chassis.
{ Warning
If the vehicle has 245/45R20 size

If a Tyre Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tyre to blow out
while driving, especially if the tyres
are maintained properly. See Tyres
0 319. If air goes out of a tyre, it is
much more likely to leak out slowly.
But if there is ever a blowout, here are
a few tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tyre fails, the flat tyre
creates a drag that pulls the vehicle
toward that side. Take your foot off
the accelerator pedal and grip the
steering wheel firmly. Steer to
maintain lane position, and then
gently brake to a stop, well off the
road, if possible.
A rear blowout, particularly on a
curve, acts much like a skid and may
require the same correction as used in
a skid. Stop pressing the accelerator
333
pedal and steer to straighten the
vehicle. It may be very bumpy and
noisy. Gently brake to a stop, well off
the road, if possible.
{ Warning
Driving on a flat tyre will cause
permanent damage to the tyre.
Re-inflating a tyre after it has been
driven on while severely
underinflated or flat may cause a
blowout and a serious crash. Never
attempt to re-inflate a tyre that has
been driven on while severely
underinflated or flat. Have your
dealer or an authorised tyre service
centre repair or replace the flat tyre
as soon as possible.
{ Warning
Lifting a vehicle and getting under
it to do maintenance or repairs is
dangerous without the appropriate
safety equipment and training. If a
jack is provided with the vehicle, it
is designed only for changing a flat

tyre. If it is used for anything else,
you or others could be badly injured
or killed if the vehicle slips off the
jack. If a jack is provided with the
vehicle, only use it for changing a
flat tyre.
If a tyre goes flat, avoid further tyre
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place, well off the road,
if possible. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. See Hazard Lights
0 130.
{ Warning
Changing a tyre can be dangerous.
The vehicle can slip off the jack and
roll over or fall causing injury or
death. Find a level place to change
the tyre. To help prevent the vehicle
from moving:
1. Apply the parking brake firmly.

{ Warning
Do not use cleaners that contain
silicone, wax-based products,
or cleaners that increase gloss on
vinyl/rubber floor and mats. These
cleaners can permanently change
the appearance and feel of the
vinyl/rubber and can make the floor
slippery. Your foot could slip while
operating the vehicle, and you
could lose control, resulting in a
collision. You or others could be
injured.
Fabric/Carpet/Suede
Start by vacuuming the surface using
a soft brush attachment. If a rotating
vacuum brush attachment is being
used, only use it on the floor carpet.
Before cleaning, gently remove as
much of the soil as possible:
. Gently blot liquids with a paper
towel. Continue blotting until no
more soil can be removed.
. For solid soil, remove as much as
possible prior to vacuuming.
To clean:
1. Saturate a clean, lint-free
colour-fast cloth with water.
Microfiber cloth is recommended to
prevent lint transfer to the fabric or
carpet.
2. Remove excess moisture by gently
wringing until water does not drip
from the cleaning cloth.
3. Start on the outside edge of the
soil and gently rub toward the
centre. Fold the cleaning cloth to a
clean area frequently to prevent
forcing the soil into the fabric.
4. Continue gently rubbing the soiled
area until there is no longer any
colour transfer from the soil to the
cleaning cloth.
357
5. If the soil is not completely
removed, use a mild soap solution
followed only by plain water.
If the soil is not completely removed,
it may be necessary to use a
commercial upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. Test a small hidden area for
colourfastness before using a
commercial upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. If ring formation occurs, clean
the entire fabric or carpet.
After cleaning, use a paper towel to
blot excess moisture.
