Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
17180837) - 2024 - CRC - 2/28/23
194 Driving and Operating
The speedometer reading can be displayed
in either English or metric units. See
Instrument Cluster094. The increment
value used depends on the units displayed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise
Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed. When you take your foot off
the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise speed.
While pressing the accelerator pedal or
shortly following the release to override
cruise, briefly moving the thumbwheel down
toward SET− will result in cruise set to the
current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on
hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load,
and the steepness of the hills. When going
up steep hills, you might have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, the cruise
control system may automatically brake to
slow the vehicle down. Also, you may have
to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down. If the brake pedal is
applied, cruise control disengages. Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to end cruise control:
.Step lightly on the brake pedal.
.Press*.
.Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
.PressJ.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed is erased from
memory if
Jis pressed or if the ignition is
turned off.
Speed Limiter
If equipped, Speed Limiter allows you to set
a maximum speed limit. When Speed Limiter
is active at a set speed, it prevents the
vehicle from accelerating above the set
speed even if you continue to accelerate.
Speed Limiter can be used at speeds of
about 20 km/h (12 mph) or more. You can
temporarily override the set speed. See
“Overriding Speed Limiter” later in this
section.
Speed Limiter does not limit the vehicle
speed when driving down a hill. If the
vehicle speed exceeds the set speed when driving down a hill, beeps will sound to alert
you that the vehicle has exceeded the set
speed.
{Warning
Speed Limiter does not automatically
apply the brakes in emergency braking
situations. To avoid possible injury or
death, always be prepared to brake in
emergencies and pay careful attention to
the road ahead while driving.
Speed Limiter will automatically be
disabled if:
.Cruise control or Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) is turned on, if equipped.
.Super Cruise is turned on, if equipped.
Speed Limiter is controlled using the RES+
and SET− thumbwheel and the
*button on
the steering wheel:
RES+ : Move the thumbwheel up to resume
Speed Limiter at the last set speed in
memory, to increase the set speed (Manual
mode), or to increase the offset
(Auto mode).

Warning (Continued)
ahead changing lanes. Your vehicle may
not stop and could cause a crash. Use
caution when using ACC. Your complete
attention is always required while driving
and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes.
Irregular Objects Affecting ACC
ACC may have difficulty detecting the
following objects:
.Vehicles with cargo extending from the
back end.
.Non-standard shaped vehicles, such as
vehicle transport, vehicles with a side car
fitted, or horse carriages.
.Objects that are close to the front of your
vehicle.
ACC Automatically Disengages
ACC may automatically disengage and the
driver will need to manually apply the
brakes to slow the vehicle when:
.The sensors are blocked.
.The Traction Control System (TCS) or
StabiliTrak/ESC system has activated or
been disabled.
.There is a fault in the system.
.The radar falsely reports blockage when
driving in a desert or remote area with
no other vehicles or roadside objects.
A DIC message may display to indicate
that ACC is temporarily unavailable.
The ACC indicator will turn white when ACC
is no longer active.
In some cases, when ACC is temporarily
unavailable, regular cruise control may be
used. See “Switching Between ACC and
Regular Cruise Control” in this section.
Always consider driving conditions before
using either cruise control system.
Notification to Resume ACC
ACC will maintain a follow gap behind a
detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a
stop behind that vehicle.
If the stopped vehicle ahead has driven
away and ACC has not resumed, the vehicle
ahead indicator will flash as a reminder to
check traffic ahead before proceeding. In
addition, the left and right sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse three times,
or three beeps will sound. To view a list of
available options, on the infotainment home screen, select Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems > Alert Type or Safety
Alert Seat Vibrations.
When the vehicle ahead drives away, ACC
resumes automatically if the stop was brief.
If necessary, press RES+ or the accelerator
pedal to resume ACC. If stopped for more
than two minutes or if the driver door is
opened and the driver seat belt is
unbuckled, the ACC automatically applies the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB) to hold the
vehicle. The EPB status light will turn on.
See
Electric Parking Brake 0187. To release
the EPB, press the accelerator pedal.
A DIC warning message may display
indicating to shift to P (Park) before exiting
the vehicle. See Vehicle Messages 0118.
{Warning
If ACC has stopped the vehicle, and if ACC
is disengaged, turned off, or canceled, the
vehicle will no longer be held at a stop.
The vehicle can move. When ACC is
holding the vehicle at a stop, always be
prepared to manually apply the brakes.
