{Warning
Super Cruise Lane Change may not detect
a vehicle in an adjacent lane. Always
supervise the driving task and monitor
traffic conditions when using the Super
Cruise Lane Change feature. Only request
a lane change when traffic conditions are
safe for a lane change, and always be
ready to manually steer the vehicle. See
“Steering Manually and Changing Lanes”
listed previously in this section.
Take Over Alert
{Warning
Super Cruise will not maintain the
vehicle’s speed while the steering wheel
light bar is flashing red. If the steering
wheel light bar flashes red, immediately
resume manual steering to prevent
serious injury or death. If you do not
resume manual steering, the vehicle will
begin to slow in the same lane and
eventually come to a complete stop on
the road. To begin steering manually, hold the
steering wheel firmly (with both hands)
using the highlighted regions as shown in
the picture below.Any time the steering wheel light bar
flashes red, resume manual steering
immediately. The instrument cluster light
^, will also turn red and a message will
display in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). In addition, beeps will sound, or the
Safety Alert Seat will vibrate. See “Collision/
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0137. After you begin
steering manually, then Super Cruise will
disengage. The red flashing steering wheel light bar
could occur under any of the following
conditions:
.Lane markings are poor, or visibility is
limited.
.The Driver Attention System (DAS) does
not detect that the driver's head and eyes
are directed toward the road.
.ACC is canceled.
.The vehicle is on a tight curve, or the
lanes are too wide, or the vehicle goes
into a curve too fast.
.The compatible road ends.
.The vehicle is approaching an intersection
controlled by a traffic light, stop sign,
or other traffic control device.
.A Super Cruise system fault occurs.
.Super Cruise is unable to complete the
lane change maneuver.

Attention to the Road
{Warning
Super Cruise is a driver assistance system
and cannot accurately detect or predict
all situations. Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system. To prevent serious
injury or death, you must supervise the
driving task and monitor the road
conditions. You may need to respond to
traffic events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. SeeDefensive Driving
0 206. Super Cruise also cannot
determine whether you are awake,
asleep, impaired, or properly focused on
safe driving. The vehicle could crash into
other vehicles, drive out of the lane,
or drive off the road. Complete attention
is always required while driving, even
while using Super Cruise. Be prepared to
take over steering or apply the brakes at
any time.
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death, be
alert and pay special attention when
passing highway exits, entrances, and
crossings with Super Cruise, and be ready
to take control of the vehicle when
necessary. Changes in lane markings
around exits and entrances can
momentarily cause Super Cruise to not
detect the correct lane. If this occurs,
Super Cruise may attempt steering inputs
to bring the vehicle back into the correct
lane and, in rare circumstances, could
over-correct and cause the vehicle to
momentarily cross into a lane next to
your vehicle unless you manually steer to
maintain your lane position. The Driver Attention System (DAS) on the
steering column continually monitors driver
head and eye position to estimate driver
attention to the road. The camera does not
record or share pictures, audio, or video.
Sunglasses, hats, or other types of clothing
that change the shape of the head may
interfere with camera performance. To
improve camera performance, raise or lower
the steering wheel, or change the seat
position.
Pay close attention to the road ahead to
avoid these three increasing alerts:

which your dealer has. Without proper
training and tools the vehicle may
become damaged.
Driver Assistance Systems
This vehicle may have features that work
together to help avoid crashes or reduce
crash damage while driving, backing, and
parking. Read this entire section before
using these systems.
{Warning
Do not rely on the Driver Assistance
Systems. These systems do not replace
the need for paying attention and driving
safely. You may not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by these systems.
Failure to use proper care when driving
may result in injury, death, or vehicle
damage. SeeDefensive Driving 0206.
Under many conditions, these systems
will not:
.Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Detect vehicles or objects outside the
area monitored by the system.
.Work at all driving speeds.
.Warn you or provide you with enough
time to avoid a crash.
.Work under poor visibility or bad
weather conditions.
.Work if the detection sensor is not
cleaned or is covered by ice, snow,
mud, or dirt.
.Work if the detection sensor is
covered up, such as with a sticker,
magnet, or metal plate.
.Work if the area surrounding the
detection sensor is damaged or not
properly repaired.
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. Audible or Safety Alert Seat
Some driver assistance features alert the
driver of obstacles by beeping. To change
the volume of the warning chime, see
“Comfort and Convenience”
underVehicle
Personalization 0137.
If equipped with the Safety Alert Seat, the
driver seat cushion may provide a vibrating
pulse alert instead of beeping. To change
this, see “Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0137.
Cleaning
Depending on vehicle options, keep these
areas of the vehicle clean to ensure the best
driver assistance feature performance. Driver
Information Center (DIC) messages may
display when the systems are unavailable or
blocked.

292 Driving and Operating
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show“distance
to object” and object location information
for the Front and Rear 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 first detected around the
vehicle, one beep will be heard from the
front or rear (depending on the object's
location), or the driver seat will pulse two
times if equipped with Safety Alert Seat.
When the object is very close to the vehicle,
the beeps will be continuous or the driver
seat will pulse five times. Beeps in the front
are higher pitched than beeps in the rear.
Turning the Features On or Off
PressXon the center stack to turn on or
off the Front and Rear Park Assist. The
indicator light next to the button comes on
when the features are on and turns off
when the features have been disabled.
Front and Rear Park Assist can be turned
Off, On, or On with Towbar. See “Park
Assist” underVehicle Personalization 0137.
If Park Assist is turned off through vehicle
personalization, the Park Assist button will
be disabled. To turn Park Assist on again,
select On in vehicle personalization. The On
with Towbar setting allows Park Assist to
work properly with a trailer hitch. Some
larger trailer hitches may not be compatible.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols on or off, see
“Rear Camera Park Assist Symbols” under
Vehicle Personalization 0137.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Under certain conditions, this feature can
provide alerts for a pedestrian within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle.
This feature only works in R (Reverse) below
12 km/h (8 mph), and detects pedestrians up
to 8 m (26 ft) away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving, feature
performance is very limited.
Rear Pedestrian Alert Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle,
this symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along with five beeps
from the rear, or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver seat. When a
pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the infotainment
display, along with ten beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, seven pulses from both sides
of the driver seat.

Driving and Operating 293
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does not
automatically brake the vehicle. It also
does not provide an alert unless it
detects a pedestrian, and it may not
detect all pedestrians if:
.The pedestrian is not directly behind
the vehicle, fully visible to the Rear
Vision Camera (RVC), or standing
upright.
.The pedestrian is part of a group.
.The pedestrian is a child.
.Visibility is poor, including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain, or snow.
.The RVC is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.The RVC, taillamps, or back-up lamps
are not cleaned or in proper working
condition.
.The vehicle is not in R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury, always
check for pedestrians around the vehicle
before backing up. Be ready to take (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving0206. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean and in
good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off or
Alert. See “Rear Pedestrian Detection” in
“Collision/Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0137. If equipped, alerts can
be set to beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert
Type” in“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0137.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, when the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), RCTA shows a red warning
triangle with a left or right pointing arrow
on the infotainment display 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.
RCTA is disabled when the trailer connection
status is displayed.
RCTA can be turned off by pressing
Xor
through the infotainment system. See
“Collision/Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 0137.
Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change Alert (LCA),
and/or the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) can help to avoid a crash or reduce
crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If equipped, 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

Canada/Mexico-15883563) - 2022 - CRC - 11/19/21
Driving and Operating 295
from the front. When this Collision Alert
occurs, the brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more rapidly which
can cause a brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake pedal as
needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC. Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert features. The timing of both alerts will
vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther away the alert will
occur. Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the alert timing.
The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all drivers and driving
conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), changing the FCA
timing setting automatically changes the
following gap setting (Far, Medium,
or Near).
Following Distance Indicator
The following distance to a moving vehicle
ahead in your path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level) 0128 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130. The minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary alerts for
turning vehicles, vehicles in other lanes,
objects that are not vehicles, or shadows.
These alerts are normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not seem to operate
properly, this may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
If equipped, AEB may help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by front-end crashes. AEB
also includes Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA).
When the system detects a vehicle ahead in
your path that is traveling in the same
direction that you may be about to crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking or
automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may

Canada/Mexico-15883563) - 2022 - CRC - 11/19/21
302 Driving and Operating
{Warning
The LDW system does not steer the
vehicle. The LDW system may not:
.Provide enough time to avoid a 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 LDW only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only warn you
when departing the lane on the side
where it has detected a lane marking.
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LDW in bad weather conditions.
How the System Works
LDW utilizes a camera sensor installed on
the windshield ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings.
To turn LDW on and off, press
@on the
center stack. The control indicator will light
when LDW is on.
When LDW is on,@is green if LDW is
available to warn of a lane departure. If the
vehicle crosses a detected lane marking
without using the turn signal in that
direction,
@changes to amber and flashes.
Additionally, there will be three beeps, on
the right or left, depending on the lane
departure direction. LDW will not alert if the
turn signal is active in the direction of lane
departure or if LDW detects that you are
accelerating, braking or actively steering.
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. The LKA may be ready to assist at
speeds between 50 km/h (31 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 crosses a detected
lane marking. This system is not intended to
keep the vehicle centered in the lane. LKA
will not assist and 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.

304 Driving and Operating
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 and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
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 camera blocked message may display if
the camera is blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have reduced
performance or not work at all. An LKA or LDW unavailable message may display if the
systems are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera.
The LKA system does not need service. Clean
the outside of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
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.
