{Warning
.Poorly maintained and
improperly used tires
are dangerous.
.Overloading the tires
can cause overheating
as a result of too much
flexing. There could be
a blowout and a serious
crash. See Vehicle Load
Limits0202.
.Underinflated tires
pose the same danger
as overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could
cause serious injury.
Check all tires
frequently to maintain
the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure
should be checked
when the tires are cold.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Overinflated tires are
more likely to be cut,
punctured, or broken by
a sudden impact —such
as when hitting a
pothole. Keep tires at
the recommended
pressure.
.Worn or old tires can
cause a crash. If the
tread is badly worn,
replace them.
.Replace any tires that
have been damaged by
impacts with potholes,
curbs, etc.
.Improperly repaired
tires can cause a crash.
Only your dealer or an
authorized tire service
center should repair,
replace, dismount, and
mount the tires.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Do not spin the tires in
excess of 56 km/h
(35 mph) on slippery
surfaces such as snow,
mud, ice, etc. Excessive
spinning may cause the
tires to explode.
All-Season Tires
This vehicle may come with
all-season tires. These tires
are designed to provide good
overall performance on most
road surfaces and weather
conditions. Original equipment
tires designed to GM's specific
tire performance criteria have
a TPC specification code
molded onto the sidewall.
Original equipment all-season
tires can be identified by the
last two characters of this
TPC code, which will be “MS.”
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on snow or ice-covered

2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
336 Vehicle Care
roads is expected. All-season
tires provide adequate
performance for most winter
driving conditions, but they
may not offer the same level
of traction or performance as
winter tires on snow or
ice-covered roads. See Winter
Tires0336.
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires.
Winter tires are designed for
increased traction on snow
and ice-covered roads.
Consider installing winter tires
on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your
dealer for details regarding
winter tire availability and
proper tire selection. Also, see
Buying New Tires 0350.
With winter tires, there may
be decreased dry road
traction, increased road noise,
and shorter tread life. After changing to winter tires, be
alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tires:
.Use tires of the same brand
and tread type on all four
wheel positions.
.Use only radial ply tires of
the same size, load range,
and speed rating as the
original equipment tires.
Winter tires with the same
speed rating as the original
equipment tires may not be
available for H, V, W, Y, and ZR
speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating
are chosen, never exceed the
tire's maximum speed
capability.
Self-Sealing Tires
This vehicle may have
self-sealing tires. These tires
have a material inside that can
seal punctures from common
road hazards, such as nails
and screws, in the tread area.
The tire may lose air pressure if the sidewall is damaged or
the tread puncture is too
large. If the Tire Pressure
Monitor System indicates the
tire pressure is low, inspect
the tire for damage and inflate
it to the recommended
pressure. If the tire is unable
to maintain the recommended
pressure, contact the nearest
authorized GM servicing
facility immediately for
inspection and repair or
replacement. To locate the
nearest GM servicing facility,
call GM Customer Assistance.
Caution
Do not drive on a deflated
self-sealing tire as this could
damage the tire. Make sure
the tire is inflated to the
recommended pressure or
have it immediately repaired
or replaced.
When tire replacement is
needed replace with a
self-sealing tire, because the

vehicle does not come with a
spare tire or tire changing
equipment.
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has
265/50R20 or 275/40R22
size tires, they are
classified as low-profile
tires.Caution
Low-profile tires are more
susceptible to damage from
road hazards or curb impact
than standard profile tires.
Tire and/or wheel assembly
damage can occur when
coming into contact with
road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects,
or when sliding into a curb.
The warranty does not
cover this type of damage.
Keep tires set to the correct
inflation pressure and when (Continued)
Caution (Continued)
possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other
road hazards.

and the original equipment
tire size and recommended
inflation pressure. See“Tire
and Loading Information
Label” under Vehicle Load
Limits 0202.
Tire Pressure
Tires need the correct
amount of air pressure to
operate effectively.
{Warning
Neither tire underinflation
nor overinflation is good.
Underinflated tires,
or tires that do not have
enough air, can result in:
.Tire overloading and
overheating, which
could lead to a blowout
.Premature or
irregular wear
.Poor handling
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Reduced fuel economy
for internal combustion
engine vehicles
.Reduced range for
electric vehicles
Overinflated tires, or tires
that have too much air,
can result in:
.Unusual wear
.Poor handling
.Rough ride
.Needless damage from
road hazards
The Tire and Loading
Information label on the
vehicle indicates the
original equipment tires
and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is
the minimum air pressure
needed to support the vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity. See
Vehicle Load Limits
0202.
How the vehicle is loaded
affects vehicle handling
and ride comfort. Never
load the vehicle with more
weight than it was
designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the pressure of the
tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality
pocket-type gauge to
check tire pressure. Proper
tire inflation cannot be
determined by looking at
the tire. Check the tire
inflation pressure when the
tires are cold, meaning the
vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours or
no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care 343
Remove the valve cap from
the tire valve stem. Press
the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label,
no further adjustment is
necessary. If the inflation
pressure is low, add air
until the recommended
pressure is reached. If the
inflation pressure is high,
press on the metal stem in
the center of the tire valve
to release air.
Recheck the tire pressure
with the tire gauge.
Put the valve caps back on
the valve stems to keep out
dirt and moisture. Use only
valve caps designed for the
vehicle by GM. TPMSsensors could be damaged
and would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air
pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure
readings to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature,
your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat
and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces
energy efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is
not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
344 Vehicle Care
maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is
not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and
then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacementor alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
0344.
See Radio Frequency
Statement 0395.
Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). The TPMS is designed
to warn the driver when a low
tire pressure condition exists.
TPMS sensors are mounted
onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare
tire and wheel assembly. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tires and transmit the tire pressure
readings to a receiver located
in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS illuminates the low tire
pressure warning light located
on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure
shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits
0202.
A message to check the
pressure in a specific tire
displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
low tire pressure warning light
and the DIC warning message
come on each time the vehicle
is turned on until the tires are

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Vehicle Care 345
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. If the vehicle has
DIC buttons, tire pressure
levels can be viewed. For
additional information and
details about the DIC
operation and displays, see
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0132.
The low tire pressure warning
light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is
first started, and then turn off
as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator
that the air pressure is getting
low and needs to be inflated to
the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading
Information label shows the
size of the original equipment
tires and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when
they are cold. See Vehicle
Load Limits 0202, for an
example of the Tire and
Loading Information label and
its location. Also see Tire
Pressure 0342. The TPMS can warn about a
low tire pressure condition but
it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. See Tire
Inspection
0347, Tire Rotation
0 348, and Tires 0334.
Caution
Tire sealant materials are
not all the same.
A non-approved tire sealant
could damage the TPMS
sensors. TPMS sensor
damage caused by using an
incorrect tire sealant is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. Always use only
the GM approved tire
sealant available through
your dealer or included in
the vehicle.
TPMS Malfunction Light
and Message
The TPMS will not function
properly if one or more of the
TPMS sensors are missing or
inoperable. When the system
detects a malfunction, the low tire pressure warning light
flashes for about one minute
and then stays on for the
remainder of the time the
vehicle is on. A DIC warning
message also displays. The
malfunction light and DIC
warning message will come on
each time the vehicle is turned
on until the problem is
corrected. Some of the
conditions that can cause
these to come on are:
.One of the road tires has
been replaced with the
spare tire. The spare tire
does not have a TPMS
sensor. The malfunction light
and the DIC message should
go off after the road tire is
replaced and the sensor
matching process is
performed successfully. See
"TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
.The TPMS sensor matching
process was not done or not
completed successfully after
rotating the tires. The
malfunction light and the DIC
