personalize routes and results. Predictive Navigation may learn
elements such as:
.Personalized routes based on
preferred streets.
.Search results that provide best
matches at the top of the list.
.Predictive traffic.
.Local map content updating.

{Warning
Track/course loads wear tires both
on the tread and internal to the
tire. When driven in track/course
conditions, even if tread is not worn
down to the treadwear indicator,
tires must be replaced after the
equivalent of two tanks of fuel or
approximately 160 km (100 mi).

Line Lock (If Equipped)
{Warning
The vehicle may move unexpectedly
when using Line Lock, which could
cause injury to persons or property

on a closed track where there is a
large clear area around all sides of
the vehicle. Be ready to apply the
brakes immediately if the vehicle
begins to move. Do not use Line
Lock in an area that is accessible to
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
the public or where people or
property are located near the
vehicle.
Caution
Attempting to shift when the drive
wheels are spinning and do not
have traction may cause damage to
the transmission. Damage caused
by misuse of the vehicle is not
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive
wheels do not have traction.
Line Lock allows for locking the front
brakes independently of the rear
brakes. This allows the rear tires to
spin when the throttle is applied.
To enter Line Lock, all of these
conditions must be met:
.The vehicle must be in Track Mode.
.Performance Traction Management
(PTM) Mode must be enabled.
.The steering wheel must be straight.
.The driver door must be closed.

—not
intended for use in heavy rain or
standing water.
.StabiliTrak/ESC is on and engine
power is reduced based on
conditions.

.For use by less experienced drivers
or while learning a new track.
.Dry conditions only.
.StabiliTrak/ESC is on and engine
power is slightly reduced.
SPORT
.For use by drivers who are familiar
with the track.
.Dry conditions only.
.Requires more driving skill
than DRY.
.StabiliTrak/ESC is on and more
engine power is available than
in DRY.
RACE 1
.For use by drivers who are familiar
with the track.
.Dry conditions only.

Launch Control
If equipped, Launch Control is
available within Competitive Driving
Mode and PTM to allow high levels of
vehicle acceleration in a straight line.
Launch Control is a form of traction
control that manages tire spin while

Cadillac CT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15283641) -

266 DRIVING AND OPERATING
launching the vehicle. This feature is
intended for use during closed course
race events where consistent zero to
60 and quarter mile times are
desirable.
Launch Control is only available when
the following criteria are met:
.Competitive Driving Mode is
selected or any of the PTM modes
are selected. The traction off light
comes on in the instrument cluster
and the appropriate DIC message
displays.
.The vehicle is not moving.
.The steering wheel is pointing
straight.
Automatic Transmissions
.The brake pedal is firmly pressed to
the floor, equivalent to a panic
brake event.
.The accelerator pedal is rapidly
applied to wide open throttle. If the
vehicle rolls due to wide open
throttle, release the throttle, press
the brake pedal more firmly, and
reapply the accelerator to wide open
throttle.Launch Control will initially limit
engine speed as you rapidly apply the
accelerator pedal to wide open
throttle. Allow the engine rpm to
stabilize. A smooth, quick release of
the brake pedal, while maintaining the
fully pressed accelerator pedal, will
manage wheel slip.
After the vehicle is launched, the
system continues in Competitive
Driving Mode or PTM.
Competitive Driving Mode, PTM, and
Launch Control are systems designed
for a closed course race track and not
intended for public roads. The systems
are not intended to compensate for
lack of driver experience or familiarity
with the race track.
Limited-Slip Differential
If equipped, the Electronic
Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD) is
automatically activated. eLSD actively
monitors vehicle sensors and driver
inputs to determine the amount of
change for the conditions. With eLSD,
the vehicle has:
.Enhanced high-speed control.
.Improved traction through corners,
allowing more acceleration.
.More precise steering.
.Increased vehicle agility.
.Integration with StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC).
For vehicles with eLSD, driven under
severe conditions, the rear axle fluid
should be changed. See Competitive
Driving Mode 0264 and
Maintenance Schedule 0408.
Cruise Control
{
Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at a
steady speed. Do not use cruise
control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
