What is the operation method for Cadillac gear shifting?
2 Answers
Cadillac gear shifting operation method: D gear is the automatic forward gear. If the vehicle needs to stop for a short time, you can shift into N gear, which is the neutral gear. Shift into R gear, and pay attention to check the rearview mirror. Shift into. This is the reverse gear. P gear is the parking gear, and for long-term parking, you should also pull up the handbrake. The shift mode of the Cadillac XT4 electronic gear is displayed on the top of the shift lever. On the shift lever, the selected gear will be illuminated in red, and all other gears will be illuminated in white. If the shift is not completed immediately, for example, under extremely cold conditions, the indicator light on the shift lever may flash until the gear is fully engaged. Method to shift into M gear: The shift paddles are located on the back of the steering wheel. Use the driver's manual shift control through the shift paddles. When the vehicle is in D forward gear, push the shift lever downward to switch to M manual mode. The M on the shift lever will be illuminated in red, and D will turn white. The transmission will be in manual mode and maintain the current gear. Pull the shift paddle toward yourself to shift gears. Pull the left shift paddle to downshift, and pull the right shift paddle to upshift. To cancel the driver's manual shift control, push the shift lever downward to return to D forward gear. The D on the shift lever will be illuminated in red, and M will turn white.
Operating the gearshift in a Cadillac is actually very intuitive. Having driven for over a decade, I find Cadillac's design particularly user-friendly. After getting in the car, don't rush to start the engine—first press the brake pedal to ensure the gear lever is in the P (Park) position, then press the one-touch start button or turn the key to ignite. After the engine starts, the gear remains in P. To move forward, keep pressing the brake, push the gear lever toward the D (Drive) position, and release the brake to let the car move slowly. For reversing, similarly press the brake and pull the gear lever to the R (Reverse) position—the rearview camera will automatically pop up to assist with safe reversing. After parking, press the brake and return the gear lever to P, then engage the electronic parking brake or step on the foot-operated parking brake to secure the car. Don’t forget to check the dashboard display before and after shifting to confirm the correct gear position. Some newer Cadillacs feature electronic gearshift buttons near the steering wheel, where operation is similar—just press the corresponding button, making it especially convenient for daily use.
