may not always be seen; this
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until
the frost or ice has melted.
If a service message displays
and the above conditions do
not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does
not activate due to a
temporary condition, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under
the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the
system.
.An object is currently
blocking the rear sensors
(for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is removed,
Park Assist will return to
normal operation.
.The bumper is damaged.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a
jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are
affecting system
performance.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
Enhanced Automatic
Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain
conditions APA with Braking
can use sensors based on
sonar technology along the
vehicle’s front, rear and sides
to detect a parking spot, and
automatically park or unpark
the vehicle with some driver
assistance. The vehicle will
automatically maneuver into a

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

Warning (Continued)
If LKA only detects lane
markings on one side of the
road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when
approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a
lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer
the vehicle. Always keep
your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane,
or vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield,
headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good
repair. Do not use LKA in
bad weather conditions or
on roads with unclear lane
markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads
could cause loss of control
of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver
if a towed trailer crosses
into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or
property damage may occur
if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always
monitor the trailer position
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lanedeparture. It may further
provide an audible alert or the
driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system
does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
non the center console.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. On some
vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on,

3. Drive slowly until the traileris clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the
chocks.
Maintenance when Trailer
Towing
The vehicle needs service
more often when used to tow
trailers. See Maintenance
Schedule 0376. It is especially
important to check the cooling
system and brake system
before and during each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts
and bolts on the trailer hitch
are tight.
Cooling the Vehicle when
Trailer Towing
The cooling system may
temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions.
See Cooling System 0313.
Trailer Towing
Caution
Towing a trailer improperly
can damage the vehicle and
result in costly repairs not
covered by the vehicle
warranty. To tow a trailer
correctly, follow the
directions in this section and
see your dealer for
important information about
towing a trailer with the
vehicle.
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
and durability. Successful, safe
trailering takes correct
equipment, and it has to be
used properly. The following information has
many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important
for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this
section carefully before pulling
a trailer.
Trailer Weight
{Warning
Never exceed the towing
capacity for your vehicle.
Safe trailering requires
monitoring the weight, speed,
altitude, road grades, outside
temperature, dimensions of
the front of the trailer, and
how frequently the vehicle is
used to tow a trailer.
