Keys, Doors, and Windows 9
The key, inside the remote key,
can be used for all locks.
To remove the key, press the
button on the side of the
remote key, near the bottom,
and pull the key out. Never pull
the key out without pressing
the button.
If it becomes difficult to turn
the key, inspect the key blade
for debris. Periodically, clean
with a brush or a pick.
See your dealer if a new key is
needed.
Contact Roadside Assistance
if locked out of the vehicle.
See Roadside Assistance
Program0439.
With an active OnStar or
connected service plan, an
OnStar Advisor may remotely
unlock the vehicle. See OnStar
Overview 0451.
Remote Key
See Radio Frequency
Statement 0446.
If there is a decrease in the
remote key operating range:
.Check the distance. The
remote key may be too far
from the vehicle.
.Check the location. Other
vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
.Check the remote key's
battery. See “Battery
Replacement” later in this
section.

working correctly, see your
dealer or a qualified
technician for service.

Falling Liftgate Detection
If the power liftgate
automatically closes after a
power opening cycle, it
indicates that the system is
reacting to excess weight on
the liftgate or a possible
support strut failure.
A repetitive chime will sound
while the falling liftgate
detection feature is operating.
Remove any excess weight.
If the liftgate continues to
automatically close after
opening, see your dealer for
service before using the
power liftgate.
Interfering with the power
liftgate motion or manually
closing the liftgate too quickly
after power opening may
resemble a support strut
failure. This could also activate
the falling liftgate detection
feature. Allow the liftgate to
complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before
manually closing the liftgate.Obstacle Detection
Features
If the liftgate encounters an
obstacle during a power open
or close cycle, the liftgate will
automatically reverse direction
and move a short distance
away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the
power liftgate operation can
be used again. If the liftgate
encounters multiple obstacles
on the same power cycle, the
power function will deactivate.
After removing the
obstructions, manually close
the liftgate. This will allow
normal power operation
functions to resume.
If the vehicle is locked while
the liftgate is closing, and an
obstacle is encountered that
prevents the liftgate from
completely closing, the horn
will sound as an alert that the
liftgate did not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the
liftgate stops at when
opening:1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power open the
liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at the desired
height by pressing any
liftgate button. Manually
adjust the liftgate position
if needed.
3. Press and hold
lnext to
the pull cup on the bottom
of the liftgate until the turn
signals flash and a beep
sounds. This indicates the
setting has been recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set
below a minimum
programmable height. If there
is no light flash or sound, then
the height adjustment may be
too low.

34 Keys, Doors, and Windows
If the engine does not start
and the security light stays on,
there is a problem with the
system. Turn the ignition off
and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (accessory
mode, on, off), and the remote
key appears to be undamaged,
try another remote key. Or,
you may try placing the
remote key in the front
cupholder located in the
center console. See Remote
Key Operation09.
If the ignition mode will not
change with the other remote
key or in the front cupholder,
your vehicle needs service.
If the ignition does change
modes, the first remote key
may be faulty. See your dealer
who can service the
theft-deterrent system and
have a new remote key
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the
immobilizer system to learn
new or replacement remote keys. Up to eight remote keys
can be programmed for the
vehicle. To program additional
remote keys, see
“Programming Remote Keys to
the Vehicle”
under Remote
Key Operation 09.
Do not leave the key or device
that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in
the vehicle.
Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make
things, like other vehicles,
look farther away than they
really are. If you cut too
sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on
the right. Check the inside
mirror or glance over your
shoulder before changing
lanes. The passenger side mirror is
convex shaped. A convex
mirror surface is curved so
more can be seen from the
driver seat.
Power Mirrors

1. Press
}or|to choose
the driver or passenger
side mirror. The indicator
light will illuminate.
2. Press the arrows on the control pad to move the
mirror in the desired
direction.

72 Seats and Restraints
some new parts for the
airbag system. If you do not
get them, the airbag system
will not be there to help
protect you in another crash.
A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly
other parts. The service
manual for the vehicle
covers the need to replace
other parts.
.The vehicle has a crash
sensing and diagnostic
module which records
information after a crash.
See Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy0448 and
Event Data Recorders 0449.
.Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag system.
Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will
not work properly. See your
dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the front
outboard passenger position.
The passenger airbag status
indicator will light on the
overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
The words ON and OFF, and
the symbols for on and off, will
be visible during the system
check. When the system check
is complete, either the word
ON or OFF, and the symbol for
on or off, will be visible. See
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator 0125.
The passenger sensing
system turns off the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag under certain conditions. No other
airbag is affected by the
passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing
system works with sensors
that are part of the front
outboard passenger seat and
seat belt. The sensors are
designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag
should be allowed to inflate
or not.
According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when properly secured in a
rear seat in the correct child
restraint for their weight
and size.
Whenever possible, children
aged 12 and under should be
secured in a rear seating
position.

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
74 Seats and Restraints
indicator will light and stay lit
as a reminder that the airbags
are active.
For some children, including
children in child restraints, and
for very small adults, the
passenger sensing system
may or may not turn off the
front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
depending upon the person's
seating posture and body
build. Everyone in the vehicle
who has outgrown child
restraints should wear a seat
belt properly—whether or not
there is an airbag for that
person.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may
be wrong with the airbag
system. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light0124 for more
information, including
important safety
information.
If the On Indicator Is Lit
for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing
system is designed to turn off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag,
if the system determines that
an infant is present in a child
restraint. If a child restraint
has been installed and the ON
indicator is lit:
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional items from the seat such
as blankets, cushions, seat
covers, seat heaters,
or seat massagers. 4. Reinstall the child restraint
following the directions
provided by the child
restraint manufacturer and
refer to Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat) 095
or Securing Child
Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat)
0 98.
Make sure the seat belt
retractor is locked by
pulling the shoulder belt all
the way out of the
retractor when installing
the child restraint, even if
the child restraint is
equipped with a seat belt
lock off. When the
retractor lock is set, the
belt can be tightened but
not pulled out of the
retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and
restarting the vehicle, the
ON indicator is still lit, turn
the vehicle off. Then
slightly recline the vehicle
