What happens if I "ride" my Cadillac's brakes?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Cadillac?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CT5’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

When should I have my CT5's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Caring for your Cadillac CT5’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
