acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect
objects in the parking space,
objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link
fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks),
hanging objects, objects
below ground level (e.g. large
potholes), or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that
the parking space is
appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA may not(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
respond to changes in the
parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent
vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking
space. APA does not detect
or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during
the parking maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic
Parking
To activate APA, 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
searches for parking spaces,
to the left or right of the
vehicle, up to the sensors’
ranges of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
search for a parking space to
the left, turn on the left turn
signal or, if available, change the side selection in the
infotainment display. To
choose or change the parking
mode, make a selection on the
infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty
parking spots. The parking
spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle,
wall, or pillar for the system
to align to.
After completely passing an
eligible parking spot, a beep
sounds and a notification to
stop the vehicle is displayed in
the driver information center.
Generally, APA selects the
nearest empty parking spot

behind the vehicle, but under
some conditions may select a
space that is further back.
Slow down and bring the
vehicle to a complete stop to
begin.
Follow the displayed
instructions. When the vehicle
is ready to begin the
maneuver, the steering wheel
will vibrate briefly as a
reminder to remove hands
from the steering wheel. After
the vibration stops, check your
surroundings and release the
brakes to begin automatic
parking. As the vehicle
automatically steers, brakes,
accelerates, and shifts gears
into the parking spot, continue
to check your surroundings.
Be prepared to stop to avoid
vehicles, pedestrians,
or objects.
A progress bar displays the
status of the parking
maneuver. Once automatic
parking is finished and the
vehicle has come to a full stop,APA will beep and display a
message indicating parking is
complete.
Automatic Parking
How to Activate Automatic

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

the vehicle. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle
damage, even with RAB,
always check the area
around the vehicle before
and while backing.
Pressing the brake pedal after
the vehicle comes to a stop
will release RAB. If the brake
pedal is not pressed soon
after the stop, the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) may be
set. When it is safe, press the
accelerator pedal firmly at any

where unexpected or
undesired automatic braking
occurs. If this happens,
either press the brake pedal
or firmly press the (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
accelerator pedal to release
the brakes from the RAB
system. Before releasing the
brakes, check the RVC and
check the area around the
vehicle to make sure it is

Unexpected braking events
are possible with a static
installed accessory, such as a
bike rack or hitch-mounted
cargo carrier.
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.

(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
110 m (360 ft) and operates at
all speeds.
{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

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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
windshield, headlamps, and
FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
When your vehicle approaches
another detected vehicle too
rapidly, the red FCA display
will flash on the windshield.
Also, eight rapid high-pitched
beeps will sound from the
front, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse
five times. Continue to apply
the brake pedal as needed.
