If no coolant is visible in the
coolant surge tank, add
coolant as follows:
How to Add Coolant to the
Coolant Surge Tank
{Warning
Spilling coolant on hot
engine parts can burn you.
Coolant contains ethylene
glycol and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough.
{Warning
Plain water, or other liquids
such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant
mixture will. With plain water
or the wrong mixture, the
engine could get too hot but
there would not be an
overheat warning. The
engine could catch fire and
you or others could be
burned.
{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.
Caution
Failure to follow the specific
coolant fill procedure could
cause the engine to
overheat and could cause
system damage. If coolant is
not visible in the surge tank,
contact your dealer.
If no problem is found, check
to see if coolant is visible in
the coolant surge tank.
If coolant is visible but the coolant level is not at or above
the indicated mark, add a
50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and
DEX-COOL coolant at the
coolant surge tank, but be
sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge
tank pressure cap, is cool
before you do it.2.0L L4 Engine and 3.6L
V6 Engine
Automatic Coolant Service
Fill Instructions
The vehicle is equipped with a
service feature that assists
with filling and removing air
from the cooling system after
service of components or
when coolant is added after
being to low.

456 Vehicle Care
Remove any accessories that
may be damaged or interfere
with the car wash equipment.
Hand Wash
Rinse the vehicle well, before
and after washing, to remove
all cleaning agents completely.
If they are allowed to dry on
the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean
chamois or an all-cotton towel
to avoid surface scratches
and water spotting.
Cleaning Underhood
Components
Caution
Do not power wash any
component under the hood
that has this
esymbol.
This could cause damage to
the vehicle that would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Avoid using solvents or
abrasive cleaners that may
harm underhood components.
GM recommends using only
water to clean underhood
components.
If using a pressure washer,
ensure the following criteria
is met:
.Water pressure must be
kept below 14 000 KPa
(2,000 PSI).
.Water temperature must be
below 80 °C (180 °F).
.A spray nozzle with a
40 degree wide angle spray
pattern or wider must be
used, and must be kept at
least 30 cm (1 ft) away from
all surfaces.
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket
clearcoat sealant/wax
materials is not recommended.
If painted surfaces are
damaged, see your dealer to
have the damage assessed
and repaired. Materials such as calcium chloride and other
salts, ice melting agents, road
oil and tar, tree sap, bird
droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage the vehicle finish if
they remain on painted
surfaces. Wash the vehicle as
soon as possible. If necessary,
use non-abrasive cleaners that
are marked safe for painted
surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or
mild polishing should be done
to remove residue from the
paint finish. See your dealer
for approved cleaning
products.
Caution
Do not apply waxes or
polishes to uncoated plastic,
vinyl, rubber, decals,
simulated wood, or matte
paint as damage can occur.

interior, open the doors and
windows to get proper
ventilation. Newspapers or
dark garments can transfer
color to the vehicle’s interior.
Caution
Immediately remove
cleaners, hand lotions,
sunscreen, and insect
repellent from all interior
surfaces or permanent
damage may result.
Caution
Use cleaners specifically
designed for the surfaces
being cleaned to prevent
permanent damage to the(Continued)

vehicle. Apply all cleaners
directly to a cleaning cloth.
Do not spray cleaners on
any switches or controls.
When using liquid soap
cleaners, follow the directions
on the specific cleaner or soap
solution for dilution
instructions.
Caution
To prevent damage:
.Never use a razor or any
other sharp object to
remove soil from any
interior surface
.Never use a brush with
stiff bristles.
.Never rub any surface
aggressively or with too
much pressure.
.Do not get any exposed
electrical components wet. (Continued)

.Do not use laundry
detergents or dishwashing
soaps with degreasers. Do
not use solutions that
contain strong or
caustic soap.
.Do not heavily saturate
the upholstery when
cleaning.
.Do not use solvents or
cleaners containing
solvents.
.Do not use disinfecting
wipes that are scented or
contain bleach. Do not use
wipes or cleaners that
show a color transfer to
the wipe or change the
appearance of the interior
surface when used.
.Do not use scented or
gel-type hand sanitizers.
If hand sanitizer comes in
contact with interior
surfaces of the vehicle,
blot immediately and clean(Continued)

with a soft cloth
dampened with a mild
soap and water solution.
Interior Glass
To clean, use a microfiber
cloth fabric dampened with
water. Wipe droplets left
behind with a clean dry cloth.
If necessary, use a commercial
glass cleaner after cleaning
with plain water.
Caution
To prevent scratching, never
use abrasive cleaners on
automotive glass. Abrasive
cleaners or aggressive
cleaning may damage the
rear window defogger.
Cleaning the windshield with
water during the first three to
six months of ownership will
reduce tendency to fog.
Speaker Covers
Vacuum around a speaker
cover gently, so that the
speaker will not be damaged.
Clean spots with water and
mild soap.
Coated Moldings
Coated moldings should be
cleaned.
.When lightly soiled, wipe
with a sponge or soft,
lint-free cloth dampened
with water.
.When heavily soiled, use
warm soapy water.
Vinyl/Rubber
If equipped with vinyl floor and
rubber floor mats, use a soft
cloth and/or brush dampened
with water to remove dust and
loose dirt. For more thorough
cleaning, use a mild soap and
water solution.
{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
crash. 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:

Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500442) -
2023 - CRC - 5/4/22
Vehicle Care 463
.Gently blot liquids with a
paper towel. Continue
blotting until no more soil
can be removed.
.For solid soils, remove as
much as possible prior to
vacuuming.
To clean: 1. Saturate a clean, lint-free colorfast 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 center. 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 color
transfer from the soil to
the cleaning cloth.
5. If the soil is not completely removed, use a mild soap
solution followed only by
plain water.
If the soil is not completely
removed, it may be necessary
to use a commercial
upholstery cleaner or spot
lifter. Test a small hidden area
for colorfastness 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.
Cleaning High Gloss
Surfaces and Vehicle
Information and Radio
Displays
Use a microfiber cloth on high
gloss surfaces or vehicle
displays. First, use a soft
bristle brush to remove dirt
that can scratch the surface.
Then gently clean by rubbing
with a microfiber cloth. Never
use window cleaners or
solvents. Periodically hand
wash the microfiber cloth
separately, using mild soap. Do
not use bleach or fabric
softener. Rinse thoroughly and
air dry before next use.
Caution
Do not attach a device with
a suction cup to the display.
This may cause damage and
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
