392 Vehicle Care
Caution
Do not run the engine if
there is a leak in the engine
cooling system. This can
cause a loss of all coolant
and can damage the system
and vehicle. Have any leaks
fixed right away.
If Steam Is Coming from
the Engine Compartment
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids
from a hot cooling system
are under pressure. Turning
the pressure cap, even a
little, can cause them to
come out at high speed and
you could be burned. Never
turn the cap when the
cooling system, including the
pressure cap, is hot. Wait for
the cooling system and
pressure cap to cool.
If No Steam Is Coming
from the Engine
Compartment
If an engine overheat warning
is displayed but no steam can
be seen or heard, the problem
may not be too serious.
Sometimes the engine can get
a little too hot when the
vehicle:
.Climbs a long hill on a
hot day.
.Stops after high-speed
driving.
.Idles for long periods in
traffic.
If the overheat warning is
displayed with no sign of
steam: 1. Turn the air conditioning off.
2. Turn the heater on to the highest temperature and
to the highest fan speed.
Open the windows as
necessary. 3. When it is safe to do so,
pull off the road, shift to
P (Park) or N (Neutral) and
let the engine idle.
If the overheat warning no
longer displays, the vehicle
can be driven. Continue to
drive the vehicle slowly for
about 10 minutes. Keep a safe
vehicle distance from the
vehicle in front. If the warning
does not come back on,
continue to drive normally and
have the cooling system
checked for proper fill and
function.
If the warning continues, pull
over, stop, and park the
vehicle right away.
If there is no sign of steam,
idle the engine for
three minutes while parked.
If the warning is still displayed,
turn off the engine until it
cools down.

394 Vehicle Care
{Warning
The brake wear warning
sound means that soon the
brakes will not work well.
That could lead to a crash.
When the brake wear
warning sound is heard,
have the vehicle serviced.
Caution
Continuing to drive with
worn-out brake linings could
result in costly brake repairs.
Properly torqued wheel nuts
are necessary to help prevent
brake pulsation. When tires
are rotated, inspect brake
linings for wear and evenly
tighten wheel nuts in the
proper sequence to torque
specifications. See Capacities
and Specifications 0480.
Brake linings should be
replaced as complete
axle sets.
Brake Squeal and
Brake Dust
Some driving conditions or
climates can cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are
first applied, clearing up
following several applies. This
does not mean something is
wrong with the brakes.
Vehicles equipped with high
performance brake systems
provide superior fade
resistance, but will produce
increased brake squeal and
brake dust on the wheels and
calipers as compared to
standard brake linings. This is
normal.
To help reduce squeal, high
performance brake pads are
treated with an anti-squeal
paste that may need to be
reapplied periodically as part
of normal vehicle maintenance.
The anti-squeal paste will
dissipate over time. Also, the
use of wheel cleaners or
power washers directly on the
brake calipers may remove the anti-squeal paste from the
brake pads. It may be
necessary to reapply the
anti-squeal paste if it is
removed during cleaning.
If brake squeal is excessive,
the anti-squeal paste should
be reapplied. The anti-squeal
paste should always be
reapplied whenever the brake
pads are removed or replaced.
See your dealer for service.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake
pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is a
rapid increase in pedal travel.
This could be a sign that brake
service may be required.
Replacing Brake System
Parts
Always replace brake system
parts with new, approved
replacement parts. If this is
not done, the brakes may not
work properly. The braking
performance can change in

Vehicle Storage
{Warning
Batteries have acid that can
burn you and gas that can
explode. You can be badly
hurt if you are not careful.
See Jump Starting - North
America0447 for tips on
working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Infrequent Usage: Remove the
black, negative (−) cable from
the battery to keep the
battery from running down.
Extended Storage: Remove
the black, negative (−) cable
from the battery or use a
battery trickle charger.
All-Wheel Drive
If the vehicle is equipped with
All-Wheel-Drive (AWD), this is
an additional system that
needs lubrication.
Transfer Case
Under normal driving
conditions, transfer case fluid
does not require maintenance
unless there is a fluid leak or
unusual noise. If required, have
the transfer case serviced by
your dealer.
Park Brake and
P (Park) Mechanism
Check
{Warning
When you are doing this
check, the vehicle could
begin to move. You or
others could be injured and
property could be damaged.
Make sure there is room in
front of the 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, set 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.
.Automatic transmission
vehicles 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.

Warning (Continued)
.Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the
tread is badly worn,
replace them.
.Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.
.Improperly repaired
tires can cause a crash.
Only your dealer or an
authorized tire service
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.
.Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.See Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
0
423 for inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
driving.
All-Season Tires
This vehicle may come with
all-season tires. These tires
are designed to provide good
overall performance on most
road surfaces and weather
conditions. Original equipment
tires designed to GM's specific
tire performance criteria have
a TPC specification code
molded onto the sidewall.
Original equipment all-season
tires can be identified by the
last two characters of this
TPC code, which will be “MS.”
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on snow or ice-covered
roads is expected. All-season
tires provide adequate
performance for most winter
driving conditions, but they
may not offer the same level of traction or performance as
winter tires on snow or
ice-covered roads. See Winter
Tires
0414.
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires.
Winter tires are designed for
increased traction on snow
and ice-covered roads.
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your
dealer for details regarding
winter tire availability and
proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires 0432.
With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After
changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.

Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500442) -
2023 - CRC - 5/4/22
Vehicle Care 415
If using winter tires:
.Use tires of the same brand
and tread type on all four
wheel positions.
.Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the
original equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y, and ZR
speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
capability.
Run-Flat Tires
This vehicle, when new, may
have had run-flat tires. There
is no spare tire, no tire
changing equipment, and no
place to store a tire in the
vehicle.
{Warning
While driving with run-flat
tires at a reduced inflation
pressure, avoid making
sudden stops or severe
maneuvers as the handling
capabilities of the tires will
be reduced. Driving too fast
could cause loss of control
and you or others could be
injured. Do not drive over
80 km/h (50 mph) with the
tire operating at low
pressure. Drive cautiously
and check the tire pressure
as soon as possible.
Run-flat tires can be driven up
to 80 km (50 mi) at speeds
less than 80 km/h (50 mph)
after a loss of inflation
pressure has occurred. There
is no need to stop on the side
of the road to change the tire.
The possible driving range
after a pressure loss will vary
based on the vehicle load and
driving conditions. As soon as possible, contact the nearest
authorized GM or run-flat
servicing facility for inspection
and repair or replacement.
When driving on a deflated
run-flat tire, avoid potholes
and other road hazards that
could damage the tire and/or
wheel beyond repair. When a
tire has been damaged, or if
driven any distance while
deflated, check with an
authorized run-flat tire service
center to determine whether
the tire can be repaired or
should be replaced. To
maintain the run-flat feature,
all replacement tires must be
run-flat tires.
To locate the nearest GM or
run-flat servicing facility, call
Customer Assistance.
Self-Sealing Tires
This vehicle may have
self-sealing tires. These tires
have a material inside that can
seal punctures from common
road hazards, such as nails

Vehicle Care 423
Remove the valve cap from
the tire valve stem. Press
the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label,
no further adjustment is
necessary. If the inflation
pressure is low, add air
until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high,
press on the metal stem in
the center of the tire valve
to release air.
Recheck the tire pressure
with the tire gauge.
Put the valve caps back on
the valve stems to keep out
dirt and moisture. Use only
valve caps designed for the
vehicle by GM. TPMSsensors could be damaged
and would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{Warning
Driving at high speeds,
160 km/h (100 mph) or
higher, puts additional strain
on tires. Sustained
high-speed driving causes
excessive heat buildup and
can cause sudden tire
failure. This could cause a
crash, and you or others
could be killed. Some
high-speed rated tires
require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed
limits and road conditions
allow the vehicle to be
driven at high speeds, make
sure the tires are rated for
high-speed operation, are in
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
excellent condition, and are
set to the correct cold tire
inflation pressure for the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with tire 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 tire inflation pressure to
the corresponding value in the
table for the tire size on the
vehicle.
