Turning off the Cadillac XT4 is actually quite simple. As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I'm used to operating it this way: When parking, make sure the car is completely stationary, then shift the gear to P position to prevent rolling back and damaging the transmission; Next, pull the electronic parking brake button, which will automatically lock the wheels; After that, turn off all electrical appliances, such as air conditioning and radio, to avoid power consumption; Finally, press the start button to turn off the engine, and it's done once the engine stops. The whole process only takes a few seconds. Developing this habit can protect the car's electronic system and reduce battery loss, especially in winter when temperatures are low, be careful not to rush to turn off the engine. Safety comes first when driving. Before turning off the engine, take a look around to confirm there are no people or obstacles, especially when parked on a slope. After pulling the handbrake, release the foot brake to check if the car moves a short distance. With this practice over the years, my XT4 has never had any major problems.
