maintain 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 replacementor 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.

Statement 0395.
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 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 Limits
0202.
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 each time the vehicle
is turned on until the tires are

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care 345
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. If the vehicle has
DIC buttons, tire pressure
levels can be viewed. For
additional information and
details about the DIC
operation and displays, see
Driver Information Center
(DIC)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 shows the
size of the original equipment
tires and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0202, for an
example of the Tire and
Loading Information label and
its location. Also see Tire
Pressure 0342. The TPMS can warn about a
low tire pressure condition but
it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire
Inspection
0347, Tire Rotation
0 348, and Tires 0334.
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.
TPMS Malfunction Light
and Message
The TPMS will not function
properly if one or more of the
TPMS sensors are missing or
inoperable. When the system
detects a malfunction, the low tire pressure warning light
flashes for about one minute
and then stays on for the
remainder of the time the
vehicle is on. A DIC warning
message also displays. The
malfunction light and DIC
warning message will come on
each time the vehicle is turned
on until the problem is
corrected. Some of the
conditions that can cause
these to come on are:
.One of the road tires has
been replaced with the
spare tire. The spare tire
does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light
and the DIC message should
go off after the road tire is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
.The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tires. The
malfunction light and the DIC

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -

346 Vehicle Care
message should go off after
successfully completing the
sensor matching process.
See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
.One or more TPMS sensors
are missing or damaged. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off when
the TPMS sensors are
installed and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
your dealer for service.
.Replacement tires or wheels
do not match the original
equipment tires or wheels.
Tires and wheels other than
those recommended could
prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See
Buying New Tires0350.
.Operating electronic devices
or being near facilities using
radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could
cause the TPMS sensors to
malfunction. If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or
signal a low tire pressure
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC
message come on and stay on.
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual
and audible alerts outside the
vehicle to help when inflating
an underinflated tire to the
recommended cold tire
pressure.
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
maximum pressure listed on
the tire sidewall. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0337 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0202.
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
tire fill alert feature is not
working, use a tire pressure
gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process —Auto Learn
Function
Each TPMS sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code needs to be
matched to a new tire/wheel
position after rotating the
tires or replacing one or more
of the TPMS sensors. When a
tire is installed, the vehicle
must be stationary for about
20 minutes before the system
recalculates. The following
relearn process takes up to 10 minutes, driving at a
minimum speed of 20 km/h
(12 mph). A dash (-) or pressure
value will display in the DIC.
See Driver Information Center
(DIC)
0132. A warning
message displays in the DIC if
a problem occurs during the
relearn process.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that the
tires, including the spare
tire, if the vehicle has one,
be inspected for signs of
wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or
more places around the
tire can be seen.
.There is cord or fabric
showing through the
tire's rubber.

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
348 Vehicle Care
.The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump,
bulge, or split.
.The tire has a puncture,
cut, or other damage that
cannot be repaired well
because of the size or
location of the damage.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated
according to the interval
listed in the maintenance
schedule. See Maintenance
Schedule0376.
Tires are rotated to
achieve a more uniform
wear for all tires. The first
rotation is the most
important. Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation
pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels.
If the unusual wear
continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is
Time for New Tires
0349
and Wheel Replacement
0 354.
Use this rotation pattern
when rotating the tires. Adjust the front and rear
tires to the recommended
inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading
Information label after the
tires have been rotated.
See Tire Pressure
0342
and Vehicle Load Limits
0 202.
Reset the Tire Pressure
Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor
Operation 0344.
Check that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
“Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications 0383.
{Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel,
or on the parts to which it
is fastened, can cause
wheel nuts to become
loose over time. The

wheel could come off and
cause a crash. When
changing a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or
paper towel can be used;
however, use a scraper
or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the inner
diameter of the wheel hub
opening with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel
change or tire rotation to
prevent corrosion or rust
build-up.{Warning
Do not apply grease to
the wheel mounting
surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts
or bolts. Grease applied
to these areas could
cause a wheel to become
loose or come off,
resulting in a crash.
When It Is Time for
New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear
rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one
way to tell when it is time for
new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See
Tire Inspection 0347 and
Tire Rotation 0348.
The rubber in tires ages over
time. This also applies to the
spare tire, if the vehicle has
one, even if it is never used.
Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading
conditions, and inflation
pressure maintenance affect
how fast aging takes place.

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
350 Vehicle Care
GM recommends that tires,
including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread
wear. To identify the age of a
tire, use the tire manufacture
date, which is the last four
digits of the DOT Tire
Identification Number (TIN)
molded into one side of the
tire sidewall. The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the
tire manufactured date. The
first two digits represent the
week and the last two digits,
the year. For example, the
third week of the year 2020
would have a 4-digit DOT date
of 0320. Week 01 is the first
full week (Sunday through
Saturday) of each year.
Vehicle Storage
Tires age when stored
normally mounted on a parked
vehicle. Park a vehicle that will
be stored for at least a month
in a cool, dry, clean area away
from direct sunlight to slow
aging. This area should be freeof grease, gasoline, or other
substances that can
deteriorate rubber.
Parking for an extended
period can cause flat spots on
the tires that may result in
vibrations while driving. When
storing a vehicle for at least a
month, remove the tires or
raise the vehicle to reduce the
weight from the tires.
Buying New Tires
GM has developed and
matched specific tires for
the vehicle. The original
equipment tires installed
were designed to meet
General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
Specification (TPC Spec)
system rating. When
replacement tires are
needed, GM strongly
recommends buying tires
with the same TPC Spec
rating.
GM's exclusive TPC Spec
system considers over a
dozen critical specifications
that impact the overall
performance of the vehicle,
including brake system
performance, ride and
handling, traction control,
and tire pressure
monitoring performance.
GM's TPC Spec number is
molded onto the tire's
sidewall near the tire size.
If the tires have an
all-season tread design, the
TPC Spec number will be
followed by MS for mud
and snow. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling
0337 for
additional information.
GM recommends replacing
worn tires in complete sets
of four. Uniform tread
depth on all tires will help
to maintain the
performance of the vehicle.
Braking and handling

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -

354 Vehicle Care
law. Warning: The
temperature grade for this
tire is established for a tire
that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation,
or excessive loading, either
separately or in
combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible
tire failure.
Wheel Alignment and
Tire Balance
The tires and wheels were
aligned and balanced at the
factory to provide the longest
tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to
wheel alignment and tire
balancing are not necessary
on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is
unusual tire wear or the
vehicle is significantly pulling
to one side or the other. Some
slight pull to the left or right,
depending on the crown of theroad and/or other road
surface variations such as
troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, the
tires and wheels may need to
be rebalanced. See your
dealer for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is
bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it.
Some aluminum wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have
the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, or Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong
replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control,
resulting in a crash. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a
used one is dangerous. How
it has been used or how far
it has been driven may be
unknown. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
