Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow,
or leaves from air inlets at
the base of the windshield
that could block the flow of
air into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to
improve visibility and help
decrease moisture drawn
into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the
front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air
inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved
hood deflectors can
adversely affect the
performance of the system.
Check with your dealer
before adding equipment to
the outside of the vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to
the air vent slats. This will
restrict airflow and may
cause damage to the air
vents.

Service
All vehicles have a label
underhood that identifies the
refrigerant used in the vehicle. The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians. The
air conditioning evaporator
should never be repaired or
replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only
be replaced by a new
evaporator to ensure proper
and safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants
should be reclaimed with
proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to the
environment and may also
create unsafe conditions
based on inhalation,
combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system
requires periodic maintenance.

194 Driving and Operating
Acceleration/Braking/
Coasting
Avoid rapid accelerations and
decelerations.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations,
and coast whenever possible.
Do not rush to traffic signals,
and do not shift to N (Neutral)
to coast.
Use the One-Pedal Driving
feature when appropriate to
help recover energy during
coasting and braking.
One-Pedal mode recovers
more energy while coasting
and braking than D (Drive)
mode. See One-Pedal Driving
0214.
Use the steering wheel Regen
on Demand paddle during
deceleration to help recover
energy. See Regenerative
Braking 0220. Terrain and Vehicle Speed
Higher speeds and grade
changes use more energy and
can significantly reduce
electric range.
Climate Setting
Using the heat and air
conditioning systems
decreases the energy
available for electric driving.
Optimal energy efficiency is
achieved when the heat, air
conditioning, and fan are
turned off.
Use the heated and ventilated
seat features (if equipped)
instead of the climate control
system. Heating and
ventilating the seat uses less
energy than heating and
cooling the interior. See
Heated and Ventilated Front
Seats
045 and
Heated Rear Seats 049.
Use the Remote Start Climate
Control feature to heat or cool
the interior while the vehicle is
plugged in to use electricity from the electrical outlet
instead of using energy from
the battery. See Remote Start
0
15.
In hot weather, avoid parking
in direct sunlight. Use
sunshades inside the vehicle.
Keep the inside of the
windows clean to reduce
fogging. Turn off the front
defroster and rear defogger
when they are not needed.
Avoid driving with the
windows open at highway
speeds.
Use the Battery Gauge on the
Instrument Cluster to view the
effect of climate control
settings on your estimated
range. See Battery Gauge
(High Voltage) 0110.
Outside Temperature
On colder days, it is best to
plug in the vehicle overnight,
and then remote start the
vehicle.

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

Driving and Operating 195
Allow the vehicle to warm up
for 20 minutes before driving.
Vehicle Charging/
Maintenance
Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in,
even when fully charged, to
keep the battery temperature
ready for the next drive. This
is important when outside
temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
If possible, use a level 2
(240 volt) high power charge
station for best results. This
allows the interior of the
vehicle and high voltage
battery to warm to optimal
temperature.
Maintenance
Always keep the tires properly
inflated and the vehicle
properly aligned.
The weight of excess cargo in
the vehicle affects efficiency
and range. Avoid carrying
more than is needed.Avoid unnecessary use of
electrical accessories. Power
used for functions other than
propelling the vehicle will
reduce the available range.
Using a rooftop carrier will
reduce efficiency due to
additional weight and drag.
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many
forms and can take your focus
from the task of driving.
Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities
divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted
laws regarding driver
distraction. Become familiar
with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving,
keep your eyes on the road,
keep your hands on the
steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
.Do not use a mobile phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
.Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on mobile
phones or other electronic
devices.
.Designate a front seat
passenger to handle
potential distractions.
.Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such
as programming favorite
radio stations and adjusting
climate control and seat
settings. Program all trip
information into any
navigation device prior to
driving.
.Wait until the vehicle is
parked to retrieve items that
have fallen to the floor.
.Stop or park the vehicle to
tend to children.
.Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.

Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
All Passenger Car Tires
Must Conform to Federal
Safety Requirements In
Addition To These Grades.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based
on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under
controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course. For example, a tire
graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1½) times as
well on the government
course as a tire graded
100. The relative
performance of tires
depends upon the actual
conditions of their use,
however, and may depart
significantly from the norm
due to variations in drivinghabits, service practices
and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction
The traction grades, from
highest to lowest, are AA,
A, B, and C. Those grades
represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement
as measured under
controlled conditions on
specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction
performance. Warning: The
traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not
include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning,
or peak traction
characteristics.
Temperature
The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and
C, representing the tire's
resistance to the
generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat
when tested under
controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high
temperature can cause the
material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive
temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure. The
grade C corresponds to a
level of performance which
all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal
Motor Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the
laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by
