Cadillac Escalade Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16417396) - 2023 - CRC - 5/11/22
Driving and Operating 297
When ESBZA is disabled for any reason
other than the driver turning it off, the
Extended Side Blind Zone Alert On option
will not be available on the
personalization menu.
Driving with a Trailer
Although this system is intended to help
drivers avoid lane change crashes, it does
not replace driver vision and therefore
should be considered a lane change aid.
Even with the ESBZA system, the driver
must check carefully for objects outside of
the reporting zone (e.g., a fast approaching
vehicle) or vehicle along the side of the
trailer before changing lanes.
Use caution while changing lanes when
towing a trailer.
Traffic Sign Assistant
Traffic sign assistant recognizes designated
traffic signs via the front camera located
behind the windshield in front of the
interior rear view mirror, and displays the
detected speed limit in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Additionally, speed
limit information from the navigation
system map database may be used.
Caution
The system is intended to assist the
driver within a defined speed range to
discern certain traffic signs. Always pay
attention to posted speed limit signs.
Do not ignore traffic signs which are not
displayed by the system.
The system does not discern any signs
other than the conventional traffic signs
that might give or end a speed limit.
It may not detect some electronic speed
signs.
Depending on the weather conditions or
problems with traffic signs, a traffic sign
may not be recognized or a sign different
from the actual traffic sign may be
displayed.
Do not let this special feature tempt you
into taking risks when driving.
Always adapt vehicle speed to the road
conditions.
Driver assistance systems do not relieve
the driver from full responsibility for
vehicle operation.Traffic signs that are detected are:.Speed Limit
.Constraint Signs
Display Indication
The currently detected speed limit is
displayed in the DIC until the next speed
limit or end of speed limit sign is detected.
The current valid speed limit is displayed
permanently in the lower line of the DIC or
upper left of the instrument cluster,
depending on the vehicle. If a speed sign
with an add on sign is detected, a
1
symbol is also displayed.
The indication of multiple signs on the
display is possible. A
(–)symbol in a frame
indicates there is a sign detected which
cannot be clearly identified by the system.
See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0124.
Alert Function
The alert function can be turned on or off
from the Traffic Sign Memory page. See
Driver Information Center (DIC) 0124.
Once activated, and if the Traffic Sign
Memory page is currently not displayed, a
newly detected speed limit is briefly
displayed as a pop-up alert in the DIC.

298 Driving and Operating
Exceeding Indicated Speed Limit
If the indicated traffic sign speed limit is
exceeded by 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, the
permanently displayed traffic sign symbol
will flash until the vehicle speed is reduced
to or below the indicated speed limit.
System Reset
The content of the traffic sign display can
be cleared in the Traffic Sign Menu from the
Traffic Sign Memory page by selecting Reset
and confirmed by pressing the thumbwheel.
Upon successful reset, a(–)symbol displays
until the next traffic sign is detected or
provided by the navigation system map
data. In some cases, traffic sign memory is
cleared automatically by the system.
See Driver Information Center (DIC) 0124.
Navigation System Traffic Sign Detection
The currently displayed sign can either
originate from sign detection using the
camera, or from the navigation system map
data. If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will be
displayed. This may lead to detection of a
new sign although no sign on the road may
have been passed.
Limitations
Traffic sign memory may not operate
correctly if:
.The area of the windshield, where the
front camera is located, is not clean or is
affected by foreign objects, e.g. stickers,
window tinting, etc.
.Traffic signs are completely or partially
covered, are too low or high or difficult to
discern.
.Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or
are damaged.
.Traffic signs do not comply with the
approved traffic sign standards.
.The speed limit is displayed by certain
types of electronic speed signs.
.There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct
sunlight or shadows.
.The headlights are dirty or not correctly
aligned when driving at night.
.The navigation map data is out of date.
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 system can be ready to assist at speeds between approximately
60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
On some vehicles, the system will instead
operate above 50 km/h (31 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.
{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.

OnStar or connected services cannot work
unless the vehicle is in a place where OnStar
has an agreement with a wireless service
provider for service in that area. The
wireless service provider must also have
coverage, network capacity, reception, and
technology compatible with OnStar or
connected services. Service involving location
information about the vehicle cannot work
unless GPS signals are available,
unobstructed, and compatible with the
OnStar hardware. OnStar or connected
services may not work if the OnStar
equipment is not properly installed or it has
not been properly maintained. If equipment
or software is added, connected,
or modified, OnStar or connected services
may not work. Other problems beyond the
control of OnStar —such as hills, tall
buildings, tunnels, weather, electrical system
design and architecture of the vehicle, damage to the vehicle in a crash, or wireless
phone network congestion or jamming
—
may prevent service.
See Radio Frequency Statement 0435.

Qand ask for
an Advisor. Advisors are available in English,
Spanish, and French. Available languages
may vary by country.
Potential Issues
OnStar cannot perform Remote Door Unlock
or Stolen Vehicle Assistance after the vehicle
has been off continuously for an extended
period of time without an ignition cycle. To
find out the duration of time that applies
for the vehicle, contact an OnStar Advisor by
pressing
Qor calling 1-888-4ONSTAR. If the
vehicle has not been started for an extended
period of time, OnStar can contact Roadside
Assistance or a locksmith to help gain access
to the vehicle.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
.Obstruction of the GPS can occur in a
large city with tall buildings; in parking
garages; around airports; in tunnels and
underpasses; or in an area with very
dense trees. If GPS signals are not
available, the OnStar system should still
operate to call OnStar. However, OnStar
could have difficulty identifying the exact
location.
.In emergency situations, OnStar can use
the last stored GPS location to send to
emergency responders. A temporary loss of GPS can cause loss of
the ability to send a Turn-by-Turn
Navigation route. The Advisor may give a
verbal route or may ask for a call back after
the vehicle is driven into an open area.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
Cellular reception is required for OnStar to
send remote signals to the vehicle. Do not
place items over or near the antenna to
prevent blocking cellular and GPS signal
reception.
Unable to Connect to OnStar Message
If there is limited cellular coverage or the
cellular network has reached maximum
capacity, this message may come on. Press
Qto try the call again or try again after
driving a few miles into another
cellular area.
Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a vehicle electrical
system, wireless service, and GPS satellite
technologies to be available and operating
for features to function properly. These
systems may not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.
