Vehicle Care 399
What to Add
Use only GM approved DOT 4
brake fluid from a clean, sealed
container. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants0474.
{Warning
The wrong or contaminated
brake fluid could result in
damage to the brake
system. This could result in
the loss of braking leading to
a possible injury. Always use
the proper GM approved
brake fluid.
Caution
If brake fluid is spilled on the
vehicle's painted surfaces,
the paint finish can be
damaged. Immediately wash
off any painted surface.
Battery - North
America
The original equipment battery
is maintenance free. Do not
remove the cap and do not
add fluid.
Refer to the replacement
number shown on the original
battery label when a new
battery is needed.
The vehicle has an Absorbed
Glass Mat (AGM) 12-volt
battery. Installation of a
standard 12-volt battery will
result in reduced 12-volt
battery life.
When using a 12-volt battery
charger on the 12-volt AGM
battery, some chargers have
an AGM battery setting on the
charger. If available, use the
AGM setting on the charger,
to limit charge voltage to
14.8 volts. Follow the charger
manufacturer's instructions. Stop/Start System
This vehicle has a Stop/Start
system to shut off the engine
to help conserve fuel. See
Stop/Start System
0264.
{Warning
WARNING: Battery posts,
terminals and related
accessories can expose you
to chemicals including lead
and lead compounds, which
are known to the State of
California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling. For
more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
See the warning on the back
cover.

determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature,
your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces
energy efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility tomaintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and
then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

Operation
0425.
See Radio Frequency
Statement 0494.
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). The TPMS is designed
to warn the driver when a low
tire pressure condition exists.
TPMS sensors are mounted
onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare
tire and wheel assembly. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tires and
Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500442) -
2023 - CRC - 5/4/22
426 Vehicle Care
transmit the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS illuminates the low tire
pressure warning light located
on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure
shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits0255.
A message to check the
pressure in a specific tire
displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
low tire pressure warning light
and the DIC warning message
come on at each ignition cycle
until the tires are inflated to the correct inflation pressure.
Using the DIC, tire pressure
levels can be viewed. For
additional information and
details about the DIC
operation and displays see
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132.
The low tire pressure warning
light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off
as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting
low and needs to be inflated to
the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading
Information label, attached to
your vehicle, shows the size of
the original equipment tires
and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0255, for an
example of the Tire and Loading Information label and
its location. Also see Tire
Pressure
0422.
The TPMS can warn about a
low tire pressure condition but
it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire
Inspection 0429, Tire Rotation
0 429, and Tires 0413.Caution
Tire sealant materials are
not all the same.
A non-approved tire sealant
could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an
incorrect tire sealant is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tire
sealant available through
your dealer or included in
the vehicle.
Factory-installed Tire Inflator
Kits use a GM-approved liquid
tire sealant. Using
non-approved tire sealants

428 Vehicle Care
When the low tire pressure
warning light comes on:1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn
signal lamp will flash.
When the recommended
pressure is reached, the
horn sounds once and the
turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn
solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire
pressure warning light.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
maximum pressure listed on
the tire sidewall. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0417 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0255.
If the tire is overinflated by
more than 35 kPa (5 psi), the
horn will sound multiple times
and the turn signal lamp will
continue to flash for several
seconds after filling stops. To
release and correct the
pressure, while the turn signal
lamp is still flashing, briefly
press the center of the valve
stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does
not flash within 15 seconds
after starting to inflate the
tire, the tire fill alert has not
been activated or is not
working. If the hazard warning flashers
are on, the tire fill alert visual
feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the
tire fill alert properly under the
following conditions:
.There is interference from
an external device or
transmitter.
.The air pressure from the
inflation device is not
sufficient to inflate the tire.
.There is a malfunction in
the TPMS.
.There is a malfunction in the
horn or turn signal lamps.
.The identification code of
the TPMS sensor is not
registered to the system.
.The battery of the TPMS
sensor is low.
If the tire fill alert does not
operate due to TPMS
interference, move the vehicle
about 1 m (3 ft) back or
forward and try again. If the
