24 IN BRIEF
SeeAssistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0254.
Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking Assist (RPA)
uses sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h
(5 mph). RPA may show a warning
triangle on the infotainment display
and a graphic on the instrument
cluster to provide the object distance.
In addition, multiple beeps or seat
pulses may occur if very close to an
object.
The vehicle may also have the Front
Parking Assist system.
See Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0254.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, the APA system helps to
search for and maneuver the vehicle
into parallel or perpendicular parking
spots using automatic steering, displays, and beeps. When the vehicle
speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph),
touch
Oto enable the system.
See “Automatic Parking Assist (APA)”
under Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0254.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the RAB
system, which is designed to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
backing crashes when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse). If the system
detects the vehicle is backing too fast
to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it
may automatically brake hard to
a stop.
See Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0254.
Surround Vision Recorder
If equipped, the Surround Vision
Recorder records 360° camera views to
an SD card. Only images are recorded,
no sound. See
Surround Vision Recorder 0272.
Power Outlets
Power Outlet 12-Volt Direct
Current
The 12-volt accessory power outlet
can be used to plug in electrical
equipment, such as a cell phone or
MP3 player. The vehicle may have an
accessory power outlet on the rear
seat trim panel (gasoline and
PLUG-IN) and inside the trunk
(PLUG-IN only).

.The vehicle has a crash sensing
and diagnostic module which
records information after a crash.

Privacy 0419 and Event Data
Recorders 0419.
. Let only qualified technicians
work on the airbag systems.
Improper service can mean that
an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for
service.
Passenger Sensing System
The vehicle has a passenger sensing
system for the front outboard
passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will light on
the overhead console when the vehicle
is started.
United States
Canada
The words ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, will be visible during
the system check. When the system
check is complete, either the word ON
or OFF, or the symbol for on or off,
will be visible. See Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator 0141.
The passenger sensing system turns
off the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag under
certain conditions. No other airbag is
affected by the passenger sensing
system.
The passenger sensing system works
with sensors that are part of the front
outboard passenger seat and seat belt.
The sensors are designed to detect the
presence of a properly seated
occupant and determine if the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag should be allowed to
inflate or not. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
Whenever possible, children aged
12 and under should be secured in a
rear seating position.
Never put a rear-facing child seat in
the front. This is because the risk to
the rear-facing child is so great, if the
airbag inflates.
{Warning
A child in a rear-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the passenger frontal airbag
inflates. This is because the back of
the rear-facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating airbag.
A child in a forward-facing child
restraint can be seriously injured or
killed if the passenger frontal airbag
inflates and the passenger seat is in
a forward position.

Driving Information
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms and
can take your focus from the task of
driving. Exercise good judgment and
do not let other activities divert your
attention away from the road. Many
local governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, keep your
eyes on the road, keep your hands on
the steering wheel, and focus your
attention on driving.
. Do not use a phone in demanding
driving situations. Use a
hands-free method to place or
receive necessary phone calls.
. Watch the road. Do not read, take
notes, or look up information on
phones or other electronic devices.
. Designate a front seat passenger
to handle potential distractions.

272 DRIVING AND OPERATING
When on,Ais green if LKA is
available to assist and provide LDW
alerts. It may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel and display
A
as amber if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking without using a
turn signal in that direction. It may also provide an LDW alert by
flashing
Aamber as the lane
marking is crossed. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat
may pulse three times, on the right or
left, depending on the lane departure
direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,
an alert, chime, or DIC message may
be provided. Move the steering wheel
to dismiss.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
. Close vehicles ahead. .
Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the windshield
may help.
A system unavailable message may
display if the camera is blocked. The
LKA system does not need service.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
Surround Vision Recorder
If equipped, this system records the
360° camera views to an SD card. Only
images are recorded, no sound. An SD
card will be needed for this system. The recommended SD card is an
8-32GB SDHC card with FAT32 file
system, Class 4 and over.
Insert an SD card into the card reader
in the trunk. Disable recording from
the playback screen before removing
the SD card from the reader. Do not
remove the card while recording is
enabled. This could corrupt the video
file and/or the SD card.
Other files should not be stored on
the same SD card as the surround
vision recorder files. Storing other files
on the same card may increase
recording start up and playback time
or result in a loss of data.

Customer Information
Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Cadillac. Normally, any concerns with
the sales transaction or the operation
of the vehicle will be resolved by your
dealer's sales or service departments.
Sometimes, however, despite the best
intentions of all concerned,
misunderstandings can occur. If your
concern has not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following steps
should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your concern
with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns can
be quickly resolved at that level. If the
matter has already been reviewed with
the sales, service or parts manager,
contact the owner of your dealership
or the general manager.
STEP TWO : If after contacting a
member of dealership management, it
appears your concern cannot be
resolved by your dealership without

CUSTOMER INFORMATION 419
Vehicle Data Recording
and Privacy
The vehicle has a number of
computers that record information
about the vehicle’s performance and
how it is driven. For example, the
vehicle uses computer modules to
monitor and control engine and
transmission performance, to monitor
the conditions for airbag deployment
and deploy them in a crash, and,
if equipped, to provide antilock
braking to help the driver control the
vehicle. These modules may store data
to help the dealer technician service
the vehicle. Some modules may also
store data about how the vehicle is
operated, such as rate of fuel
consumption or average speed. These
modules may retain personal
preferences, such as radio presets, seat
positions, and temperature settings.
Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-likesituations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time,
typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR
in this vehicle is designed to record
such data as:
.
How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
. Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
. How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and,
. How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the
EDR under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
GM will not access these data or share
it with others except: with the consent
of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle
is leased, with the consent of the
lessee; in response to an official
request by police or similar
government office; as part of GM's
defense of litigation through the
discovery process; or, as required by
law. Data that GM collects or receives
may also be used for GM research
needs or may be made available to
others for research purposes, where a
need is shown and the data is not tied
to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner.
