196 Driving and Operating
.Avoid stressful
conversations while driving,
whether with a passenger or
on a mobile phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the
road too long or too often
could cause a crash
resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on
driving.
Refer to the Infotainment
section for more information
on using that system, including
pairing and using a mobile
phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means
“always expect the
unexpected.” The first step in
driving defensively is to wear
the seat belt. See Seat Belts
0 50.
.Assume that other road
users (pedestrians,
bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and
make mistakes. Anticipate
what they may do and be
ready.
.Allow enough following
distance between you and
the driver in front of you.
.Focus on the task of driving.
Impaired Driving
Death and injury associated
with impaired driving is a
global tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking alcohol or taking
drugs and then driving is
very dangerous. Your
reflexes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment
can be affected by even a
small amount of alcohol or
drugs. You can have a
serious
—or even fatal —
collision if you drive after
drinking or taking drugs. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Do not drive while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs,
or ride with a driver who has
been drinking or is impaired
by drugs. Find alternate
transportation home; or if
you are with a group,
designate a driver who will
remain sober.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and
accelerating are important
factors in helping to control a
vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves
perception time and reaction
time. Deciding to push the
brake pedal is perception time.
Actually doing it is
reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is
about three-quarters of a
second. In that time, a vehicle

Cadillac Lyriq Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15644413) -
2023 - CRC - 2/23/22
Driving and Operating 199
the road. Learn to recognize
warning clues—such as
enough water, ice, or packed
snow on the road to make a
mirrored surface —and slow
down when you have any
doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden
steering, acceleration,
or braking, including
reducing vehicle speed by
shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause
the tires to slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes
help avoid only the
braking skid.
Driving on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can
reduce vehicle traction and
affect your ability to stop and
accelerate. Always drive
slower in these types of
driving conditions and avoid
driving through large puddles
and deep-standing or flowing
water.
{Warning
Wet brakes can cause
crashes. They might not
work as well in a quick stop
and could cause pulling to
one side. You could lose
control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large
puddle of water or a car/
vehicle wash, lightly apply
the brake pedal until the
brakes work normally.
Flowing or rushing water
creates strong forces.
Driving through flowing
water could cause the
vehicle to be carried away.
If this happens, you and
other vehicle occupants
could drown. Do not ignore
police warnings and be very
cautious about trying to
drive through flowing water.
Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous.
Water can build up under the
vehicle's tires so they actually
ride on the water. This can
happen if the road is wet
enough and you are going fast
enough. When the vehicle is
hydroplaning, it has little or no
contact with the road.
There is no hard and fast rule
about hydroplaning. The best
advice is to slow down when
the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other
wet weather driving tips
include:
.Allow extra following
distance.
.Pass with caution.
.Keep windshield wiping
equipment in good shape.
.Keep the windshield washer
fluid reservoir filled.
.Have good tires with proper
tread depth. See Tires 0334.

200 Driving and Operating
.Turn off cruise control.
Hill and Mountain
Roads
{Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s
battery above an 80%
charge if you are going to
drive down long, steep
grades such as mountain
passes. This provides room
in the battery for
regenerative braking to
supplement your
conventional brakes during
the descent. This is
especially important when
towing a trailer, which puts
additional stress on your
vehicle’s braking system.
If the battery becomes full,
regenerative braking will be
limited or unavailable. The
brakes will have to do all the
work of slowing down the
vehicle and could become(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
too hot. Hot brakes may not
be able to slow the vehicle
enough to maintain speed
and control. To help avoid
the risk of a crash, limit the
battery’s charge and, if you
experience brake fade or
receive a brake warning,
stop the vehicle and allow
the brakes to cool.
See“Charge Now” under
Charging 0123 for
information on setting
charge limits.
Driving on steep hills or
through mountains is different
than driving on flat or rolling
terrain. Be sure to:
.Use regenerative braking to
help slow the vehicle or
maintain speed by keeping
the vehicle in gear and
limiting the initial battery
charge to 80% or less.
.When braking is necessary,
use frequent, light taps of
the brake pedal. This
maximizes regenerative
braking and minimizes the
load on the vehicle brake
system.
.Keep the vehicle serviced
and in good shape.
.Check all fluid levels, brakes,
tires and cooling system.
.Drive at speeds that keep
the vehicle in its own lane.
Do not swing wide or cross
the center line.
.Be alert on top of hills;
something could be in your
lane (e.g., stalled car, crash).
.Pay attention to special road
signs (e.g., falling rocks area,
winding roads, long grades,
passing or no-passing zones)
and take appropriate action.

Driving and Operating 201
Winter Driving
Driving on Snow or IceCaution
To avoid damage to the
wheels and brake
components, always clear
snow and ice from inside the
wheels and underneath the
vehicle before driving.
Snow or ice between the tires
and the road creates less
traction or grip, so drive
carefully. Wet ice can occur at
about 0°C (32°F) when
freezing rain begins to fall.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in
freezing rain until roads can be
treated.
For Slippery Road Driving:
.Turn off cruise control.
.If enabled, turn off
One-Pedal Driving. See
One-Pedal Driving 0214
.If turned off, turn on the
Traction Control and the
Electronic Stability Control systems. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability
Control
0221.
.Select the Snow/Ice driver
mode. See Driver Mode
Control 0223.
.Accelerate gently.
Accelerating too quickly
causes the wheels to spin
and makes the surface under
the tires slick.
.Allow greater following
distance and watch for
slippery spots. Icy patches
can occur on otherwise clear
roads in shaded areas. The
surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy
when the surrounding roads
are clear. Avoid sudden
steering maneuvers and
braking while on ice.
.Antilock Brake System (ABS)
improves vehicle stability
during hard stops, but the
brakes should be applied
sooner than when on dry
pavement. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS) 0216.
Blizzard Conditions
If you become stranded or
cannot continue driving due to
winter storm conditions, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and
signal for help. Stay with the
vehicle unless there is help
nearby.
If you stay in your vehicle
while waiting, signal for help
and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the
hazard warning flashers and
tying a red cloth to an outside
mirror.
To conserve battery energy
while waiting for help, run the
vehicle for only short periods
as needed to warm the vehicle
and then shut the vehicle off
and partially close the window.
Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips
to help conserve battery
energy in cold weather, see
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency 0193.
