76 Seats and Restraints
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a
rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. It is also better
to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in a rear seat.
If you must secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
outboard seat, always move
the front passenger seat as
far back as it will go.
Child restraints are devices
used to restrain, seat,
or position children in the
vehicle and are sometimes
called child seats or car seats.
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 and is designed
by a genuine child restraint
manufacturer. If it is, the child
restraint will have a label
saying that it meets federal
motor vehicle safety
standards.
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 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,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
young children should
always be secured in an
appropriate child restraint.
Child Restraint
Systems
Rear-Facing Infant Restraint
A rear-facing child restraint
provides restraint with the
seating surface against the
back of the infant. The harness system holds the
infant in place and, in a crash,
acts to keep the infant
positioned in the restraint.
Forward-Facing Child
Restraint
A forward-facing child
restraint provides restraint for
the child's body with the
harness.

Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles 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 turn
signal 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 thatoccur with moving vehicles in
the 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 mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) is
included as part of the LCA
system.
{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 turn
signals.
LCA Detection Zones
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

Doing Your Own
Service Work
{Warning
Never try to do your own
service on high voltage
battery components. You
can be injured and the
vehicle can be damaged if
you try to do your own
service work. Service and
repair of these high voltage
battery components should
only be performed by a
trained dealer technician
with the proper knowledge
and tools.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Exposure to high voltage
can cause shock, burns, and
even death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle
can only be serviced by
technicians with special
training.
High voltage components
are identified by labels. Do
not remove, open, take
apart, or modify these
components. High voltage
cable or wiring has orange
covering. Do not probe,
tamper with, cut, or modify
high voltage cable or wiring.
{Warning
Unexpected wheel motion
and/or direction when one
or more wheels are off the
ground for service work may
result in injury. The

damage the washer fluid
tank and other parts of
the washer system.
.When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
.Fill the washer fluid tank
only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This
allows for fluid expansion
if freezing occurs, which
could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
Brakes
Disc brake linings have built-in
wear indicators that make a
high-pitched warning sound
when the brake linings are
worn and new linings are
needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the
time when the vehicle is
moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly.
{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.
Some driving conditions or
climates can cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are
first applied, clearing up
following several applications.
This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
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
0383.
Brake pads should be replaced
as complete axle sets.
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
many ways if the wrong brake
parts are installed or if parts
are improperly installed.

spare tire or tire changing
equipment.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has
265/50R20 or 275/40R22
size tires, they are
classified as low-profile
tires.Caution
Low-profile tires are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when
coming into contact with
road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb.
The warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and when (Continued)
Caution (Continued)
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.
Tire Sidewall Labeling
Useful information about a
tire is molded into its
sidewall. The example
shows a typical passenger
tire sidewall.
Passenger Tire Example
(1) Tire Size:The tire size
is a combination of letters
and numbers used to
define a particular tire's
width, height, aspect ratio,
construction type, and
service description. See the
“Tire Size” illustration later
in this section.
(2) TPC Spec (Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification)
:Original
equipment tires designed
to GM's specific tire
performance criteria have a
TPC specification code
molded onto the sidewall.
GM's TPC specifications
meet or exceed all federal
safety guidelines.
(3) DOT (Department of
Transportation)
:The
Department of
Transportation (DOT) code
indicates that the tire is in
compliance with the U.S.

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care 339
(2) Tire Width:The 3-digit
number indicates the tire
section width in millimeters
from sidewall to sidewall.
(3) Aspect Ratio
:A 2-digit
number that indicates the
tire height-to-width
measurements. For
example, if the tire size
aspect ratio is 75, as
shown in item (3) of the
illustration, it would mean
that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it
is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A
letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The
letter "R" means radial ply
construction; the letter "D"
means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:
Diameter of the wheel in
inches. (6) Service Description
:
These characters
represent the load index
and speed rating of the
tire. The load index
represents the load
carrying capacity a tire is
certified to carry. The
speed rating is the
maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount
of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each
square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed
in kPa (kilopascal) or psi
(pounds per square inch).
Aspect Ratio
:The
relationship of a tire's
height to its width. Belt
:A rubber coated layer
of cords that is located
between the plies and the
tread. Cords may be made
from steel or other
reinforcing materials.
Bead
:The tire bead
contains steel wires
wrapped by steel cords
that hold the tire onto
the rim.
Bias Ply Tire
:A pneumatic
tire in which the plies are
laid at alternate angles less
than 90 degrees to the
centerline of the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure
:The
amount of air pressure in a
tire, measured in kPa
(kilopascal) or psi (pounds
per square inch) before a
tire has built up heat from
driving. See Tire Pressure
0 342.

Warning (Continued)
When replacing wheels, use
a new GM original
equipment wheel.
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 tire or
tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Tire Chains
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped
with tire size 265/50R20,
use tire winter traction
devices only where legal and
only when necessary. Only
use textile traction devices,(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
such as tire snow socks,
that are the proper size for
the tires. Traction devices
must be installed only on the
tires of the drive axle. Drive
slowly and follow the
traction device
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving too fast or spinning
the wheels can damage the
traction device.
If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to blow
out while driving, especially if
the tires are maintained
properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to
leak out slowly. See Tires
0334 for additional
information. But if there ever
is a blowout, here are a few
tips about what to expect and
what to do:
If a front tire fails, the flat tire
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
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.
The vehicle has no spare tire,
no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire.
If the vehicle has self-sealing
tires, see Self-Sealing Tires
0
336. Tread punctures
typically will not cause tires to
lose air. However, if the vehicle
does get a flat tire, there is no
spare tire, tire changing
equipment, or place to store a
tire. Contact Roadside Service
0 388 for help.
