198 Driving and Operating
Steering in Emergencies
.There are some situations
when steering around a
problem may be more
effective than braking.
.Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to
turn 180 degrees without
removing a hand.
.The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can
drop off the edge of a road
onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing
in the way, steer the vehicle
so that it straddles the edge
of the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn,
until the right front tire
contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the
roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids
that correspond to the
vehicle's three control
systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are
not rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering
in a curve causes tires to slip
and lose cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too
much throttle causes the
driving wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most
skids by taking reasonable
care suited to existing
conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions.
But skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide,
follow these suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal and steer
the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for
a second skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your
driving according to weather
conditions. Stopping
distance can be longer and
vehicle control can be
affected when traction is
reduced by water, snow, ice,
gravel, or other material on

If the vehicle is brought to a
complete stop while the
Regen on Demand paddle is
applied, the vehicle will not
creep forward when the
paddle is released. The
accelerator pedal must be
pressed to move the vehicle
forward.
If the vehicle is on a steep

Avoid using Regen on Demand
under slippery road conditions.
Use the brake pedal as the
primary braking device.Ride Control
Systems
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction
Control System (TCS) and
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC). These systems
help limit wheel spin and assist
the driver in maintaining
control, especially on slippery
road conditions.
TCS activates if it senses any
of the drive wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens,
TCS applies the brakes to the
spinning wheels and reduces
vehicle power to limit
wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates
when the vehicle senses a
difference between the
intended path and thedirection the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak/ESC
selectively applies braking
pressure to one or more of
the vehicle wheel brakes to
assist the driver in keeping the
vehicle on the intended path.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is
also on automatically when the
vehicle is started. See Trailer
Sway Control (TSC)
0304.
If cruise control is being used
and traction control or
StabiliTrak/ESC begins to limit
wheel spin, cruise control will
disengage. Cruise control may
be turned back on when road
conditions allow.
Both systems come on
automatically when the vehicle
is started and begins to move.
The systems may be heard or
felt while they are operating
or while performing diagnostic
checks. This is normal and
does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.

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

222 Driving and Operating
It is recommended to leave
both systems on for normal
driving conditions, but it may
be necessary to turn TCS off
if the vehicle gets stuck in
sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If
the Vehicle Is Stuck0202 and
“Turning the Systems Off and
On” later in this section.
The indicator light for both
systems is in the instrument
cluster. This light:
.Flashes when TCS is limiting
wheel spin
.Flashes when StabiliTrak/
ESC is activated
.Turns on and stay on when
either system is not working
See Traction Control System
(TCS)/StabiliTrak Light 0119. If either system fails to turn on
or to activate, a message
displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC), and
dcomes on and stays on to
indicate that the system is
inactive and is not assisting
the driver in maintaining
control. Adjust driving
accordingly.
If
dcomes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the vehicle off and wait 15 seconds.
3. Start the vehicle.
4. Drive the vehicle.
If
dcomes on and stays on,
