Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror and the radar
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, or mud. These
areas need to be cleaned for
ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
Cruise Control may be
available. See“Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” previously in
this section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle” under
Exterior Care 0457.Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can
steer to maintain lane position
under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads
that are separated from
opposing traffic.
Super Cruise can also steer to
perform a lane change under
certain conditions on Super
Cruise-enabled roads.
A lane change can be initiated
by the driver using the turn
signal lever. If equipped with
Automatic Lane Change, the
Super Cruise System may
initiate a lane change
maneuver in the following
scenarios:
.To pass slower traffic
.When the current lane is
ending ahead
.To return to the initial lane
See “Super Cruise Lane
Change” later in this section
and Turn and Lane-Change
Signals 0156.
{Warning
Super Cruise can only assist
to maintain lane position,
or steer to change lanes,
when driving on compatible
roads. You must supervise
the driving task and monitor
the road conditions. You
may need to respond to
traffic events by steering,
braking, or accelerating. See
Defensive Driving.
Super Cruise is:
.Not a self-driving system
.Not a crash avoidance or
warning system
.Not a substitute for
proper supervision of the
driving task.

OnStar and has an active
service plan, additional data
may be collected through the
OnStar system. This includes
information about: the
vehicle’s operation; a crash
involving the vehicle; the use
of the vehicle and its features;
and, in certain situations, the
location and approximate GPSspeed of the vehicle. Refer to
the OnStar Terms and

Assist uses ultrasonic sensors
in the bumpers to measure the
distance between the vehicle
and objects. The system
calculates the distance
between vehicle and object via
measuring the time it takes for
the ultrasonic waves to
bounce back from the object.
Park Assist works only at
speeds up to about 11 Km/h
(7 mph). An illuminated LED in
the parking assist button
indicates that the system is
ready to operate. The sensors
on the bumpers may detect
objects up to 1.8m (6 ft) behind
and 1.25m (4 ft) in front of the
vehicle within a zone 25 cm
(10 in) high off the ground and
below bumper level. These
detection distances may be
shorter during warmer or
humid weather. Blocked
sensors will not detect objects
and can also cause false
detections. Keep the sensors
clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice,and slush; and clean sensors
after a car wash in freezing
temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is
no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far
from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater
than 11 km/h (7 mph). To
prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check
the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.
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.
Beeps sound to warn the
driver of certain objects that
are detected around the
vehicle. The frequency of
beeps increases as the vehicle
gets closer to the object.
When the object is very close
to the vehicle, the beeps are
continuous. Beeps for the

.Electronic stability control or
antilock brakes are
activated.
.The driver opens the door
with an unbuckled seat belt.
The brake holds the vehicle
until the parking brake or
brake is applied, or the vehicle
is shifted into P (Park).
To cancel APA, touch
Oagain.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The APA system may require a
short period of driving along
curves to calibrate.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If equipped, vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse), Backing Warning alerts of rear
objects at vehicle speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph),
and RAB may automatically
brake hard at speeds between
1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System
will beep once from the rear
when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on
both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. When the system
detects a potential crash,
beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt
on both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat. There may also be
a brief, sharp application of
the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning
System only operates at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
are too close or too far from
the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the
short, sharp application of
the vehicle brake system to
occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage,
even with the Backing
Warning System, always
check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
When the vehicle is in
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 to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by a backing
crash.

within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle, this

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.
