How the System Works
The instrument cluster may have a
Park Assist display with bars that
show“distance to object,” driving
direction, and object location
information for the Park Assist
system. As the object gets closer, more
bars light up and the bars change
color from yellow to amber to red.
When an object is very close to the
vehicle rear (<0.6m (2 ft)), five beeps
will sound from the rear followed by a
continuous beep from the rear,
or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. When an object
is very close to the vehicle front
(<0.3m (1 ft)), a continuous beep will
sound from the front, or both sides of
the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for FPA are higher
pitched than for RPA.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The following messages may be
displayed on the DIC:
SERVICE PARKING ASSIST :
If this
message occurs, check the following
conditions:.The sensors are not clean. Keep the
vehicle's rear bumper free of mud,
dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see Exterior
Care 0399.
.The Park Assist sensors are covered
by frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this can
occur after washing the vehicle in
cold weather. The message may not
clear until the frost or ice has
melted. If the above conditions do not exist,
take the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
PARK ASSIST OFF :
If the PA system
does not activate due to a temporary
condition, the appropriate message
displays on the DIC. PA OFF message
is displayed when disabled by the
driver. Front/Rear PA OFF message is
displayed when an attached object is
detected in the front or rear
respectively. PA Temporarily
Unavailable message is displayed for
system failures. This can occur under
the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object was hanging out of the
trunk during the last drive cycle.
Once the object is removed, RPA
will return to normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the
vehicle to your dealer to repair the
system.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations
from a jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on a very
large truck, are affecting system
performance.

Turn off Park Assist when towing a
trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols or guidance
lines (on some models) on or off, see
“Rear Camera Park Assist Symbols”
under Vehicle Personalization 0126.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, APA searches for and
steers the vehicle into parallel and
perpendicular parking spots. When
using APA, you must still shift gears
while the system applies the brakes
and accelerator. A display and audible
beeps help to guide parking
maneuvers.
Do not use APA when towing a trailer.
{Warning
APA may not detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are soft
or narrow, objects high off the
ground such as flatbed trucks,
objects below ground level such as
large potholes, or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians). Always verify that
the parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA does not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as movement of an
adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
that is behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared to stop
the vehicle during the parking
maneuver.
Touch
Oon the center stack to
enable the system to search for a
parking space that is large enough and
within 1.5 m (5 ft) of the vehicle. The
vehicle speed must be below
30 km/h (18 mph). The system cannot:
.Detect whether it is a legal parking
space.
.Park exactly lined up with the
vehicle next to it if the spot is
approached at an angle or if the
parking space is angled.
.Park exactly centered in a spot that
is marked too large.
.Always detect short curbs.
When enabled, APA searches for
parallel parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle. To search for a parking
space to the left, turn on the left turn
signal or, if available, change the side
selection in the infotainment display.
To switch the parking mode between
parallel and perpendicular, change the
parking mode in the infotainment
display.

304 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow to warn of traffic
coming from the left or right. This
system detects objects coming from
up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or
right side of the vehicle. When an
object is detected, either three beeps
sound from the left or right or three
Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out from
the back of the vehicle do not move
further back when a trailer is towed.
Turning the Feature On or Off
Turn off RCTA when towing a trailer.
RCTA can also be turned on or off
through vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/Detection Systems”under
Vehicle Personalization 0126.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle
in a forward gear, Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change
Alert (LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System can
help to avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
The FCA system may help to avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA provides a red
flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat.
FCA also lights an amber visual alert
if following another vehicle too
closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect
vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0270.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0217.
FCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalization. See "Collision/
Detection Systems" under Vehicle
Personalization 0126.

System 0304.
The system works when driving in a
forward gear between 8 km/h (5 mph)
and 80 km/h (50 mph), or on vehicles
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
above 4 km/h (2 mph). It can detect
vehicles up to approximately 60 m
(197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash
preparation feature and is not
designed to avoid crashes. Do not
rely on AEB to brake the vehicle.
AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only
responds to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles, especially
vehicles with a trailer, tractors,
muddy vehicles, etc. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Detect a vehicle when weather
limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow.
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it is
partially blocked by pedestrians
or other objects.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or steer the
vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential crash. If this happens, AEB
may engage the Electric Parking Brake
(EPB) to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB or firmly press the
accelerator pedal.
{Warning
AEB may automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in situations
where it is unexpected and
undesired. It could respond to a (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
turning vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB, firmly
press the accelerator pedal, if it is
safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the brake
pedal is applied quickly by providing a
boost to braking based on the speed
of approach and distance to a vehicle
ahead.
Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal
and the brake pedal should continue
to be applied as needed. IBA will
automatically disengage only when
the brake pedal is released.
{Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be
necessary. You could block the flow
of traffic. If this occurs, take your
foot off the brake pedal and then
apply the brakes as needed.

service. To override Automatic
Braking, firmly press the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled
through vehicle personalization. See
“Front Pedestrian Detection ”in
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0126.
{Warning
Using the Front Pedestrian Braking
system while towing a trailer could
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the system
to Alert or Off when towing a
trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate
properly, cleaning the outside of the
windshield in front of the rearview
mirror may correct the issue.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side blind
zone, or blind spot areas. When the
vehicle is in a forward gear, the left or
right side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is
activated and a vehicle is also
detected on the same side, the display
will flash as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this system is part
of the Lane Change Alert (LCA)
system, read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers
with avoiding lane change crashes
that occur with moving vehicles in the
side blind zone (or spot) areas or with
vehicles rapidly approaching these
areas from behind. The LCA warning display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror and will
flash if the turn signal is on.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the driver to
vehicles outside of the system
detection zones, pedestrians,
bicyclists, or animals. It may not
provide alerts when changing lanes
under all driving conditions. Failure
to use proper care when changing
lanes may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage. Before making a
lane change, always check mirrors,
glance over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.
LCA Detection Zones

Cadillac CT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15268585) -
2022 - CRC - 10/11/21
DRIVING AND OPERATING 311
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone of
approximately one lane over from
both sides of the vehicle, or 3.5 m
(11 ft). The height of the zone is
approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft)
and 2 m (6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) warning area
starts at approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m (16 ft).
Drivers are also warned of vehicles
rapidly approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in the
outside mirrors when the system
detects a moving vehicle in the next
lane over that is in the side blind zone
or rapidly approaching that zone from
behind. A lit LCA symbol indicates it
may be unsafe to change lanes. Before
making a lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use the turn
signals.
Left Outside MirrorDisplayRight Outside
Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started, both
outside mirror LCA displays will
briefly come on to indicate the system
is operating. When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right outside
mirror display will light up if a moving
vehicle is detected in the next lane
over in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the same
direction as a detected vehicle, this
display will flash as an extra warning
not to change lanes.
LCA can be disabled. When you
disable LCA, Side Blind Zone Alert is
also disabled. See “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 126. If LCA is disabled by the driver,
the LCA mirror displays will not
light up.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The LCA system requires some driving
for the system to calibrate to
maximum performance. This
calibration may occur more quickly if
the vehicle is driving on a straight
highway road with traffic and roadside
objects (e.g., guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on when
passing a vehicle quickly, for a
stopped vehicle, or when towing a
trailer. The LCA detection zones that
extend back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further back
when a trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when towing a
trailer. LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such as a
trailer, bicycle, or object extending out
to either side of the vehicle. Attached
objects may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not always alert the driver to
vehicles in the next lane over,
especially in wet conditions or when
driving on sharp curves. The system

Cadillac CT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-15268585) -

312 DRIVING AND OPERATING
does not need to be serviced. The
system may light up due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs, and other
non-moving objects. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when the LCA
sensors in the left or right corners of
the rear bumper are covered with
mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" underExterior Care0399.
If the DIC still displays the system
unavailable message after cleaning
both sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle, see your
dealer.
If the LCA displays do not light up
when moving vehicles are in the side
blind zone or are rapidly approaching
this zone and the system is clean, the
system may need service. Take the
vehicle to your dealer.
Radio Frequency Information
See Radio Frequency Statement 0440.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. This system uses a camera
to detect lane markings. LKA may be
ready to assist at speeds between
80 km/h (50 mph) and 180 km/h
(112 mph). LKA may assist by gently
turning the steering wheel if the
vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert if the
vehicle unintentionally crosses a
detected lane marking. This system is
not intended to keep the vehicle
centered in the lane. LKA will not
assist or alert if the turn signal is
active in the direction of lane
departure, or if it detects that you are
accelerating, braking, or actively
steering. LKA can be overridden by
turning the steering wheel. If the
system detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane marker, the
LDW will not be given. Do not expect
the LDW to occur when you are
intentionally crossing a lane marker.{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
It may not keep the vehicle in the
lane or give a Lane Departure
Warning (LDW) alert, even if a lane
marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:
.Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a lane
departure or crash.
.Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions.
This can occur if the windshield
or headlamps are blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice; if they are not in
proper condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or hilly
roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings
on one side of the road, it will only
assist or provide an LDW alert (Continued)
