Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the
current driver by their remote
key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be
identified by Driver
Information Center (DIC) welcome message,
“You are
driver x for memory recalls.”
This message is displayed the
first few times the vehicle is
turned on when a different
remote key is used. For Seat
Entry Memory to work
properly, save positions to the
1 or 2 memory button
matching the driver number of
this welcome message. To aid
in identifying remote key IDs, it
is recommended to only carry
one remote key when entering
the vehicle. Perform the
following if the welcome
message is not displayed:
1. Move all keys and remote keys away from the
vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC
welcome message should
display indicating the
driver number of the other
remote key. Turn the
vehicle off and remove the
other key or remote key
from the vehicle. 3. Start the vehicle with the
initial key or remote key.
The DIC welcome message
should display the driver
number of the initial
remote key.

P (Park) will be delayed once
for each time the vehicle is
started.
For some fleet vehicles, the
feature is always ON and
cannot be turned OFF in the
infotainment system. The
vehicle will be delayed from
shifting from P (Park) each
time the driver attempts to do
so while the driver seat belt is
not buckled. Turning the
vehicle off then on will not
change this condition.
On some models, Buckle to
Drive may also delay shifting
out of P (Park) if a front
passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. A message displays
in the DIC. Buckle the front
passenger seat belt to shift
out of P (Park). This feature
may delay the vehicle from
shifting out of P (Park) if an
object, such as a briefcase,
handbag, grocery bag, laptop,
or other electronic device, is
on the front passenger seat.
If this happens, remove theobject from the seat or buckle
the seat belt to shift out of
P (Park).
If the driver, or on some
vehicles, the present front
passenger remains unbuckled,
the DIC message will turn off
after several seconds and the
vehicle can be shifted out of
P (Park). See
“Seat Belts”and
“Child Restraints” in the Index
for information about the
importance of proper
restraint use.
If the driver seat belt or the
front passenger seat belt is
unbuckled when driving, the
seat belt reminder chime and
light(s) will come on. See Seat
Belt Reminders 0115. This
feature may not function
properly if the airbag
readiness light is on. See
Airbag Readiness Light 0116.How to Wear Seat

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 072 or
Infants and Young Children
0 74. 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.

The roof-rail airbags for the
driver, front outboard
passenger, and second row
outboard passengers are in
the ceiling above the side
windows.
{Warning
If something is between an
occupant and an airbag, the
airbag might not inflate
properly or it might force
the object into that person (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
causing severe injury or
even death. The path of an
inflating airbag must be kept
clear. Do not put anything
between an occupant and an
airbag, and do not attach or
put anything on the steering
wheel hub or on or near any
other airbag covering.
Do not use seat accessories
that block the inflation path
of a seat-mounted side
impact airbag.
Never secure anything to
the roof of a vehicle with
roof-rail airbags by routing a
rope or tie‐down through
any door or window opening.
If you do, the path of an
inflating roof-rail airbag will
be blocked.
When Should an
Airbag Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with
airbags. See Airbag System
059. Airbags are designed to
inflate if the impact exceeds
the specific airbag system's
deployment threshold.
Deployment thresholds are
used to predict how severe a
crash is likely to be in time for
the airbags to inflate and help
restrain the occupants. The
vehicle has electronic sensors
that help the airbag system
determine the severity of the
impact. Deployment
thresholds can vary with
specific vehicle design.
Frontal airbags are designed
to inflate in moderate to
severe frontal crashes to help
reduce the potential for
severe injuries, mainly to the
driver's or front outboard
passenger's head and chest.
Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-16500442) -

64 Seats and Restraints
How Does an Airbag
Restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal
or near frontal collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the steering wheel or the
instrument panel. In moderate
to severe side collisions, even
belted occupants can contact
the inside of the vehicle.
Airbags supplement the
protection provided by seat
belts by distributing the force
of the impact more evenly
over the occupant's body.
Rollover capable roof-rail
airbags are designed to help
contain the head and chest of
occupants in the outboard
seating positions in the first
and second rows. The rollover
capable roof-rail airbags are
designed to help reduce the
risk of full or partial ejection in
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?
062.
Airbags should never be
regarded as anything more
than a supplement to seat
belts.
What Will You See
after an Airbag
Inflates?
After frontal, knee, and
seat-mounted side impact
airbags inflate, they quickly
deflate, so quickly that some
people may not even realize
the airbags inflated. Roof-rail
airbags may still be at least
partially inflated for some time
after they inflate. Some
components of the airbag
module may be hot for several
minutes. For location of the
airbags, see Where Are the
Airbags? 061. The parts of the airbag that
come into contact with you
may be warm, but not too hot
to touch. There may be some
smoke and dust coming from
the vents in the deflated
airbags. Airbag inflation does
not prevent the driver from
seeing out of the windshield or
being able to steer the vehicle,
nor does it prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
{Warning
When an airbag inflates,
there may be dust in the air.
This dust could cause
breathing problems for
people with a history of
asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this,
everyone in the vehicle
should get out as soon as it
is safe to do so. If you have
breathing problems but
cannot get out of the vehicle
after an airbag inflates, then
get fresh air by opening a

window or a door. If you
experience breathing
problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek
medical attention.
The vehicle has a feature that
may automatically unlock the
doors, turn on the interior
lamps and hazard warning
flashers, 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 locked, the interior
lamps can be turned off, and
the hazard warning flashers
can be turned off using the
controls for those features.
If any of these systems are
damaged in the crash they
may not operate as normal.
{Warning
A crash severe enough to
inflate the airbags may have
also damaged important
functions in the vehicle, such
as the 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 has
occurred.
In many crashes severe
enough to inflate the airbag,
windshields are broken by
vehicle deformation. Additional
windshield breakage may also
occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
.Airbags are designed to
inflate only once. After an
airbag inflates, you will need some new parts for the
airbag system. If you do not
get them, the airbag system
will not be there to help
protect you in another crash.
A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service
manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace
other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash
sensing and diagnostic
module which records
information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy
0496 and
Event Data Recorders 0497.
.Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will
not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
