Map Updates
Super Cruise map information
must be periodically updated
at least once every seven
months to determine whether
Super Cruise is available on
certain roads. Turn on the
vehicle’s built-in Wi-Fi hotspot
to receive automatic updates
via OnStar, or see your dealer.

Data Download
Super Cruise uses the Wi-Fi
hotspot in the vehicle to
download map updates andGPS enhancement data to the
vehicle. If a mobile device with
its own Wi-Fi hotspot is
brought into the vehicle and
its Service Set Identifier (SSID)
and password are the same as
the OnStar Wi-Fi hotspot,
then the vehicle may connect
to the mobile device’s Wi-Fi
hotspot to download the data.
See your dealer for details.
To prevent usage of a mobile
device data plan, do one of the
following:
.Do not use the same SSID
and password for the
OnStar Wi-Fi hotspot and a
mobile device.
.Disable the personal mobile
device Wi-Fi hotspot when
inside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with
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 GPS
speed of the vehicle. Refer to
the OnStar Terms and
Conditions and Privacy
Statement on the OnStar
website.
Location Services
This setting enables or
disables sharing of vehicle

features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on
vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther
away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the
alert timing. The range of selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing
setting automatically changes
the following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).Following Distance
Indicator
The following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your
path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)
0144. The minimum
following time is 0.5 seconds
away. If there is no vehicle
detected ahead, or the vehicle
ahead is out of sensor range,
dashes will be displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts for turning vehicles,
vehicles in other lanes, objects
that are not vehicles, or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not
seem to operate properly, this
may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the
rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.
.Clean the headlamps.
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

330 Driving and Operating
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 settings. 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/
Detection Systems”.
{Warning
Using AEB or IBA while
towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the
system to Alert or Off when
towing a trailer. If the vehicle
is equipped with Super
Cruise or Adaptive Cruise
Control, AEB and IBA may
be used while towing a
trailer.
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/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC)
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 nearby
pedestrians 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

332 Driving and Operating
Front Pedestrian Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches
a pedestrian ahead too rapidly,
the red FPB alert display will
flash on the windshield. Eight
rapid high-pitched beeps will
sound from the front, or both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat
will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more
rapidly which can cause a
brief, mild deceleration. Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed. Cruise
control may be disengaged
when the Front Pedestrian
Alert occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to
crash into a pedestrian
directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB
may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This
can help to avoid some very
low speed pedestrian crashes
or reduce pedestrian injury.
FPB can automatically brake
to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic
braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such
as higher speeds.
If this happens, Automatic
Braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB. A firm press
of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic
Braking and the EPB.
If equipped with the Night
Vision system, pedestrians
detected by the Night Vision
system will not cause
automatic braking to occur.
{Warning
FPB may alert or
automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could falsely alert or brake
for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians,
including shadows. This is
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need
service. To override
Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal,
if it is safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be
disabled through vehicle
settings. To view available
