2024 Cadillac XT4 Owner’s Manual

2024 Cadillac XT4 Owner’s Manual

Cadillac’s premium compact crossover SUV, the 2024 Cadillac XT4, is a perfect example of the brand’s ability to combine performance, comfort, and style in a more compact vehicle. The XT4 showcases Cadillac’s unique design language and makes a statement on the road thanks to its striking look. Its interior features a roomy and well-furnished cabin made of high-quality materials, providing passengers with an opulent and comfortable space. Its anticipated frugal yet robust powertrains under the hood make it a great option for both long-distance travel and city driving. In a fiercely competitive market, the 2024 Cadillac XT4 is positioned to attract to consumers looking for an upmarket, small SUV that offers substance and style.

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 next 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.

Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the liftgate.

Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate too quickly and with excessive force may result in damage to the vehicle. Operate the liftgate manually with a smooth motion and moderate speed. The system includes a feature which limits the manual closing speed to protect the components.

Hands-Free Operation
If equipped, the liftgate may be operated with a kicking motion under the left corner of the rear bumper at the location of the projected logo. The remote key must be within 1 m (3 ft) of the rear bumper to operate the power liftgate hands-free. The hands-free feature will not work while the liftgate is moving. To stop the liftgate while in motion use one of the liftgate switches.

To operate, kick your foot straight up in one swift motion under the left corner of the rear bumper at the location of the projected logo, then pull it back.

• Do not sweep your foot from side to side.
• Do not keep your foot under the bumper; the liftgate will not activate.
• Do not touch the liftgate until it has stopped moving.
• This feature may be temporarily disabled under some conditions. If the liftgate does not respond to the kick, open or close the liftgate by another method or start the vehicle. The feature will be re-enabled.

When closing the liftgate using this feature, there will be a short delay. The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound. Step away from the liftgate before it starts moving.

Caution
Splashing water may cause the liftgate to open. Keep the remote key away from the rear bumper detection area or turn the liftgate mode to OFF when cleaning or working near the rear bumper to avoid accidental opening.

Projected Logo
If equipped with this feature, a vehicle logo will be projected for one minute onto the ground near the rear bumper when an remote key is detected within approximately 2 m (6 ft). The projected logo may not be visible under brighter daytime conditions.

1. 1 m (3 ft) Hands-Free Operation Detection Zone
2. 2 m (6 ft) Projected Logo Detection Zone

The projected logo shows where the kicking motion is to take place. The projected logo will only be available for this remote key after it has been out of range for at least 20 seconds. If an remote key is again detected within approximately 2 m (6 ft) of the liftgate, or another hands-free operation has been detected, the one-minute timer will be reset. The projected logo will not work under these conditions:

• The vehicle battery is low.
• The transmission is not in P (Park).
• Hands Free Liftgate Control is set to Off in vehicle settings. To view available settings from the infotainment screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Comfort and Convenience.
• The power liftgate is turned off.
• The vehicle remains parked for 72 hours or more, with no remote key use or Keyless Access operation. To re-enable, press any button on the remote key or open and close a vehicle door.

The projected logo will not work for a single remote key when a transmitter:

• Has been left within approximately 5 m (15 ft) of the liftgate for several minutes.
• Has been left inside the vehicle and all vehicle doors are closed.
• Has approached the area outside of the liftgate five times within 10 minutes.

Lens CleaningUse a soft, damp cloth to clean the recessed lens.

Hands-Free Liftgate and Projected Logo AvailabilityImmobilizer Operation

This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system. The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed. The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the vehicle is turned off. The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition is on or in accessory mode and a valid remote key is present in the vehicle. The security light, in the instrument cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system. The system has one or more remote keys matched to an immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly matched remote key will start the vehicle. If the remote key is ever damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle. When trying to start the vehicle, the security light may come on briefly when the ignition is turned on. 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. 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 0 8. Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

Window Express Movement
All windows can be opened without holding the window switch. Press the switch down fully and quickly release to open the window. If equipped, pull the window switch up fully and release to express close the window. Briefly press or pull the window switch to stop that window’s express movement.

Window Automatic Reversal System
The express close feature will reverse window movement if it comes in contact with an object. Extreme cold or ice could cause the window to auto-reverse. The window will operate normally after the object or condition is removed.

Automatic Reversal System Override

Warning
If automatic reversal system override is active, the window will not reverse automatically. You or others could be injured and the window could be damaged. Before using automatic reversal system override, make sure that all people and obstructions are clear of the window path.

When the engine is on, override the automatic reversal system by pulling and holding the window switch if conditions prevent it from closing.

Programming the Power Windows
Programming may be necessary if the vehicle battery has been disconnected or discharged. If the window is unable to express-close, program each express-close window:

1.  Close all doors.
2. Turn the ignition on or to accessory mode.
3. Partially open the window to be programmed. Then close it and continue to pull the switch briefly after the window has fully closed.
4. Open the window and continue to press the switch briefly after the window has fully opened.

Automatic Reversal System
The sunroof and power sunshade have an automatic reversal system that is only active when the sunroof and power sunshade if equipped, are operated in express-close mode. If an object is in the path while express-closing, the reversal system will detect an object, stop, and open the sunroof or power sunshade slightly. If frost or other conditions prevent closing, override the feature by closing the sunroof or power the sunshade in manual mode. To stop movement, release the switch. Dirt and debris may collect on the sunroof seal or in the track. This could cause an issue with sunroof operation or noise. It could also plug the water drainage system. Periodically open the sunroof and remove any obstacles or loose debris. Wipe the sunroof seal and roof sealing area using a clean cloth, mild soap, and water. Do not remove grease from the sunroof.

Overview
If equipped, the memory seat feature allows drivers to save their unique driving positions and a shared exit position. See “Saving Seating Positions” later in this section. The saved positions can be recalled manually by all drivers, see “Manually Recalling Seating Positions” later in this section, and drivers with remote key 1 and 2 can also recall them automatically. See “Auto Seat Entry Memory Recall” or “Auto Seat Exit Memory Recall” later in this section. To enable automatic recalls, turn on Seat Entry Memory and/or Seat Exit Memory. See “Enabling Automatic Recalls” later in this section. The memory recalls may be canceled at any time during the recall. See “Cancel Memory Seating Recalls” later in this section.

Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the current driver by their remote key number 1–8. The current remote key number may be identified by the Driver Information Center (DIC) welcome message, “You are driver x for memory recalls.” This message is displayed the first few times the vehicle is turned on when a different remote key is used. For Seat Entry Memory to work properly, save positions to the 1 or 2 memory buttons matching the driver number of this welcome message. To aid in identifying remote key IDs, it is recommended to only carry one remote key when entering the vehicle. Perform the following if the welcome message is not displayed:

1. Move all keys and remote keys away from the vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC welcome message should display indicating the driver number of the other remote key. Turn the vehicle off and remove the other key or remote key from the vehicle.
3. Start the vehicle with the initial key or remote key. The DIC welcome message should display the driver number of the initial remote key.
