shifted into P (Park). To start
driving away, press the brakes
and shift into D (Drive).
Certain vehicle conditions and
driver interferences may also
cancel automatic parking:
.The driver manually steers
the vehicle.
.The maximum allowed speed
is exceeded.
.There is a failure with the
APA system.
.Electronic stability control or
antilock brakes are
activated.
.The parking brake is applied.
.Driver unbuckles the seat
belt and opens the door.
System Limitations
Automatic Parking Assist has
certain limitations. The system
cannot:
.Continue to operate if the
maneuver speed exceeds
5 km/h (3 mph).
.Detect whether a parking
space is legal or restricted.
.Detect pavement markings
or lines.
.Park the vehicle closely lined
up with the vehicle next to it,
particularly if the spot is
approached at an angle or if
the parking space is angled.
.Park exactly centered in a
very large spot.
.Always detect short curbs.
.Operate while towing any
trailer.
.Function the vehicle is raised
or lowered by air
suspension,if equipped.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If the vehicle does not reverse
into the expected parking
space, the system could be
maneuvering the vehicle into a
previously detected space.
Remote Auto Parking
If equipped, the vehicle can
complete the automatic
parking maneuvers while the
driver authorizes the maneuver via the myCadillac
app on a compatible mobile
phone outside of the vehicle.
The driver can also activate an
automatic parallel or
perpendicular unparking
maneuver via the myCadillac
app. The driver must always
be prepared to cancel the
automatic maneuver if
necessary.
Remote Auto Parking works
the same way and has the
same limitations as the
standard APA feature
described above. The main
difference is that you must
instead exit the vehicle and
use the myCadillac app.
How to Activate Remote
Auto Parking
To activate Remote Auto
Parking, press
Oon the
infotainment screen for the
system to begin searching for
a parking space while driving
forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). APA

Detecting the Vehicle
Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur
unless the FCA system
detects a vehicle ahead. When
a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will display green. Vehicles may
not be detected on curves,
highway exit ramps, or hills,
due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially
blocked by pedestrians or
other objects. FCA will not
detect another vehicle ahead
until it is completely in the
driving lane.
{Warning
FCA does not provide a
warning to help avoid a
crash, unless it detects a
vehicle. FCA may not detect
a vehicle ahead if the FCA
sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice, or if the
windshield is damaged.
It may also not detect a
vehicle on winding or hilly
roads, or in conditions that
can limit visibility such as
fog, rain, or snow, or if the
headlamps or windshield are
not cleaned or in proper
condition. Keep the

Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
The AEB system 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 automatically
brake moderately or hard. This
automatic emergency braking
can only occur if a vehicle is
detected. This is shown by the
FCA vehicle ahead indicator
being lit. See Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System0270. The system works when
driving in a forward gear
above 4km/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.
.Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility,
such as in fog, rain,
or snow.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.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. (Continued)

274 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
It could respond to a 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.
AEB and IBA can be disabled
through vehicle
personalization. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to
display the list of available

A system unavailable message
may display if:
.The front of the vehicle or
windshield is not clean.
.Heavy rain or snow is
interfering with object
detection.
.There is a problem with the
StabiliTrak system.
The AEB system does not
need service.
Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB) System
If equipped, the FPB system
may help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by front-end
crashes with pedestrians near
the forward path of the
vehicle when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) system may also

respond to pedestrians. See
Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB)0273.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance of approximately
40 m (131 ft). During nighttime
driving, system performance is
very limited.
{Warning
FPB does not provide an
alert or automatically brake
the vehicle, unless it detects
a pedestrian. FPB may not
detect pedestrians, including
children:
.When the pedestrian is
not directly ahead, fully
visible, or standing upright,
or when part of a group. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Due to poor visibility,
including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the FPB sensor is
blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.If the headlamps or
windshield are not cleaned
or in proper condition.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0196. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
FPB sensor clean and in
good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert,
or Alert and Brake through
vehicle personalization. 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/

Warning (Continued)
.BZSA performance may
be affected by weather
and road conditions.
.BZSA does not provide
steering assistance to
avoid a vehicle that is in,
or has entered, your lane
of travel.
.BZSA will not prevent a
towed trailer from
crossing into the adjacent
lane. Always monitor the
trailer position while
towing to ensure it is in
the same lane as your
vehicle. BZSA is only
designed to detect when
your vehicle
unintentionally crosses
detected lane lines.
Lane Keep
Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help
avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures.
This system uses a camera todetect lane markings. The 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
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.
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.

(LDW) alert by flashingn
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking.
Additionally, there 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.
Surround Vision
Recorder
If equipped, this system
records the 360° camera
views to an SD card. Only
images are recorded, no
sound. An SD card will be
needed for this system. The
minimum recommended SD
card specifications are at least
64GB with exFAT file system,
Class V30 or greater.
