Starting And Operating; New Vehicle Run-In - Cadillac XT4 2023 Owner's Manual

Certification/Tyre Label
Label Example
A vehicle-specific Certification/Tyre label
is attached to the centre pillar (B-pillar).
The label may show the size of the
vehicle's original tyres and the inflation
pressures needed to obtain the gross
weight capacity of the vehicle. The label
shows the gross weight capacity of the
vehicle. This is called the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). The GVWR
includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, and cargo.
The Certification/Tyre label may also
show the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out
the actual loads on the front and rear
axles, weigh the vehicle at a weigh
station. Your dealer can help with this.
Be sure to spread the load equally on
both sides of the centreline.
Caution
Overloading the vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not overload the
vehicle.
Warning
Things inside the vehicle can strike
and injure people in a sudden stop or
turn, or in a crash.
Put things in the cargo area of the
vehicle. In the cargo area, put
them as far forward as possible.
Try to spread the weight evenly.
Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
Never stack heavier things, like
suitcases, inside the vehicle so
that some of them are above the
tops of the seats.
Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint in the vehicle.
Secure loose items in the vehicle.
Do not leave a seat folded down
unless needed.

Starting and Operating

New Vehicle Run-In

The vehicle does not need an elaborate
run-in. But it will perform better in the
long run if you follow these guidelines:
Do not drive at any one constant
speed, fast or slow, for the first
800 km (500 mi). Do not make
full-throttle starts. Avoid downshifting
to brake or slow the vehicle.
