Brakes - Cadillac XT5 2017 Owner's Manual

Open the cap with the washer symbol
on it. Add washer fluid until the tank
is full. See Engine Compartment
Overview 0 251 for reservoir location.
Caution
Do not use washer fluid that
contains any type of water
repellent coating. This can
cause the wiper blades to
chatter or skip.
Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the windshield
washer. It can damage the
windshield washer system and
paint.
Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution
Caution (Continued)
to freeze and damage the
washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system.
When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions for
adding water.
Fill the washer fluid tank only
three-quarters full when it is
very cold. This allows for fluid
expansion if freezing occurs,
which could damage the tank
if it is completely full.

BRAKES

Disc brake pads have built-in wear
indicators that make a high-pitched
warning sound when the brake pads
are worn and new pads are needed.
The sound can come and go or can be
heard all the time when the vehicle is
moving, except when applying the
brake pedal firmly.
VEHICLE CARE
Warning
The brake wear warning sound
means that soon the brakes will not
work well. That could lead to a
crash. When the brake wear warning
sound is heard, have the vehicle
serviced.
Caution
Continuing to drive with worn-out
brake pads could result in costly
brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates
can cause a brake squeal when the
brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean
something is wrong with the brakes.
Properly torqued wheel nuts are
necessary to help prevent brake
pulsation. When tires are rotated,
inspect brake pads for wear and evenly
tighten wheel nuts in the proper
sequence to torque specifications. See
Capacities and Specifications 0 337.
