How to Unlock the N Gear in a Cadillac?

Press and hold the ignition switch to turn the power mode to ON, step on the brake, and then you can shift the gear from P to N. On the gear lever, the selected gear will light up in red, while other gears will light up in white. If the vehicle breaks down on the roadside and requires assistance for towing, avoid using brute force to push the car. Using a tow rope is the wiser choice.

As someone who's driven a Cadillac for years, I'm quite familiar with this issue. Engaging Neutral gear is actually as simple as daily gear shifting—just make sure the engine is running, press the brake pedal, then gently move the gear lever to the N position without any extra steps. Cadillac's electronic systems are designed with great user-friendliness; most models like the CT5 or XT5 operate this way without issues. However, I must remind you not to shift gears randomly while driving, as this could trigger safety mechanisms and cause accidents. Neutral gear is typically only needed at traffic lights or when towing. Remember, if the car displays a fault message, you might need to restart the engine or consult a professional—don't force it to avoid damaging the vehicle.
