Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive
repair or replacement. Paying
attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent
injury.
Some warning lights come on
briefly when the engine is
started to indicate they are
working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and
stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows
there may be a problem, check
the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs
can be costly and even
dangerous.

Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. See
Passenger Sensing System
066 for important safety
information. The overhead
console has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started,
the passenger airbag status
indicator will light ON and OFF,
and the symbols for on and
off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, and either the
symbol for on or off, to let you
know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag. If the word ON, and the on
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag are allowed to
inflate.
If the word OFF, and the off
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag.
If, after several seconds, all of
the symbols remain lit, or if no
symbols are lit, or if the airbag
readiness light is on, there
may be a problem with the
lights or the passenger
sensing system. See your
dealer for service right away.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light
ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may
be wrong with the airbag
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
system. To help avoid injury
to yourself or others, have
the vehicle serviced right
away. See Airbag Readiness
Light0116 for more
information, including
important safety
information.
Charging System
Light
The charging system light
comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a
check to show the light is
working. It should go out when
the engine is started.

lane position and lane
markings ahead on compatible
roads under certain
conditions:
.Cameras

Super Cruise works with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
which controls acceleration
and braking while Super
Cruise is enabled and
operating. Review and
understand both this section
and the ACC section before
using Super Cruise. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0304.
An active Connected Service
plan that includes Super
Cruise Services is required to
use Super Cruise.
{Warning
Super Cruise does not
perform all aspects of
driving, nor does it do
everything a driver can do.
Super Cruise only steers to
maintain vehicle position in
the current lane or, under
some circumstances, to
change lanes. Super Cruise
can only be used with
Adaptive Cruise Control.
Super Cruise does:
.Not prevent crashes or
warn of possible crashes.
.Not steer to avoid
stopped or slow-moving
vehicles, cross-traffic,
construction barriers or
cones, motorcycles,
children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects
on the road. (Continued)

342 Driving and Operating
Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on
the direction of the detected
vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Use caution while backing up
when towing a trailer. The
RCTA feature is automatically
disabled when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Feature On
or Off
To view available settings for
this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the
infotainment home page.
Select“Vehicle” to display the
list of available options and
select “Collision/Detection
Systems”.
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 much 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)
0304.
{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 0235.
FCA can be disabled through
vehicle personalization. To
