2023–2026 Cadillac XT5 FAQ
Why do the exterior lights turn on when I use the windshield wipers?
2025–2026
With the engine on in daylight, wipers activated, and the exterior lamp control in AUTO, the headlamps and other exterior lamps turn on.
They turn off when the wipers stop; to disable this feature, move the exterior lamp control to the off or parking-lamp position.
Page 118 in the 2026 manual →2024
Pull the turn signal lever toward you and release it to flash the high beams.
Page 121 in the 2024 manual →What should I do if the automatic transmission fluid leaks?
2025–2026
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss, so have your dealer repair it as soon as possible.
Page 267 in the 2026 manual →2024
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss; have your dealer repair it as soon as possible.
Use only the correct automatic transmission fluid, because the wrong fluid may damage the vehicle and may not be covered by the warranty.
Page 267 in the 2024 manual →When should the transmission fluid and filter be changed?
2025–2026
Have your dealer change the transmission fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the maintenance schedule.
Page 267 in the 2026 manual →When should I replace the passenger compartment air filter?
2024–2026

Page 175 in the 2026 manual →When should I replace the engine air filter?
2025–2026

Page 110 in the 2026 manual →2023
Change the oil as soon as possible when CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON appears, and reset Oil Life only after the oil is changed.
Page 141 in the 2023 manual →When should I change the engine oil?
2025–2026
Change the engine oil as soon as possible when the display shows CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON; additional maintenance is also recommended.
Page 110 in the 2026 manual →How do I check the brake fluid level?
2024
With the vehicle in P (Park) on a level surface, check that the brake fluid is between the reservoir's minimum and maximum marks.
Do not top off low fluid; it may indicate worn linings or a hydraulic leak, which requires repair because the brakes will not work well.
Page 275 in the 2024 manual →What does the ABS warning light mean, and what should I do?
2024
If the ABS light stays on or returns while driving, service is needed; ABS is not functioning if it is the only light on, while both ABS and brake lights indicate a regular-brake problem, so see your dealer.
Page 105 in the 2024 manual →2023
If it stays on or appears while driving, the electrical charging system may have a problem; have it checked by your dealer because driving may drain the battery.
If you must drive a short distance, turn off accessories such as the radio and air conditioner, then find a safe place to stop.
Page 130 in the 2023 manual →How do I turn on the automatic headlights?
2024
Set the exterior lamp control to AUTO; the headlamps turn on automatically when it is dark enough, so do not cover the light sensor.
Page 121 in the 2024 manual →What should I do if the engine coolant temperature gauge shows the red LED?
2023
Because the engine is too hot, leave the road, bring the vehicle to a stop, and shut off the engine as soon as possible.
Page 127 in the 2023 manual →Can severe use change the spark-plug replacement interval?
2023
- Spark plugs may need replacement more often for public, military, commercial, recovery, consistently towing, high-use commercial, high-sand or dust use, regular trips of 6 km (4 mi) or less, or extreme off-road four-wheel-drive, farming, mining, forestry, or snow-plowing use.
- Contact an authorized GM Dealer to determine the most suitable maintenance interval for your vehicle.
How do I turn on the automatic headlamps?
2023
Set the exterior lamp control to AUTO; the headlamps turn on when it is dark enough outside, so do not cover the light sensor.
Page 155 in the 2023 manual →What should I do if a turn signal flashes rapidly or does not come on?
2023
A burned-out signal bulb may cause this; replace any burned-out bulbs, and if none are burned out, check the fuse.
