Assistant on the Home screen,
or by using the wake up words
“Hey Google”or“OK Google.”
However, not all features
within these areas are
supported by voice commands
and requires the user to have
a data subscription in order to
use the Google Assistant
feature.
Using Voice Recognition

Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition identifies
commands that are naturally
stated in sentence form,
or direct commands that state
the application and the task.
For best results:
.Speak the command
naturally, not too fast, not
too slow.
.Use direct commands
without a lot of extra words.
For example, “Call at
work,” “Play” followed by the
artist or song name,
or “Tune” followed by the
radio station number.
Direct commands are more
clearly understood by the
system. An example of a direct
command is “Dial ”. If a cell phone number was
saved with a name and a place,
the direct command should
include both. For example
“Call
at work.”
Voice Recognition for the
Radio
If browsing the audio sources
when voice is touched, the
voice recognition commands
for AM, FM, and SiriusXM (if
equipped) are available.
“Play AM” :
Tune to the radio station
frequency identified in the
command (like “nine fifty”).
“Play FM” :
Tune to the radio station
frequency identified in the
command (like “one oh one
point one”).
“Play channel number> on SiriusXM” :Tune
to the SiriusXM radio station
channel number identified in
the command. This command

Driving
Information
Driving for Better
Energy Efficiency
Use the tips in the categories
below to help maximize energy
efficiency and range.
In colder temperatures, while
these efficiency tips will help,
the electric vehicle driving
range will be lower due to
higher energy usage including
energy spent heating the
cabin.
The Energy Usage card
available on the Driver
Information Center (DIC)
estimates the influence of the
main factors impacting vehicle
range. It displays how energy
is being used for the current
drive since the last time the
vehicle was started. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0132 and
Vehicle Information 0133.

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.
