Attention to the Road
{Warning
Super Cruise is a driver assistance system
and cannot accurately detect or predict
all situations. Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system. To prevent serious
injury or death, you must supervise the
driving task and monitor the road
conditions. You may need to respond to
traffic events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. SeeDefensive Driving
0 196. Super Cruise also cannot
determine whether you are awake,
asleep, impaired, or properly focused on
safe driving. The vehicle could crash into
other vehicles, drive out of the lane,
or drive off the road. Complete attention
is always required while driving, even
while using Super Cruise. Be prepared to
take over steering or apply the brakes at
any time.
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or death, be
alert and pay special attention when
passing highway exits, entrances, and
crossings with Super Cruise, and be ready
to take control of the vehicle when
necessary. Changes in lane markings
around exits and entrances can
momentarily cause Super Cruise to not
detect the correct lane. If this occurs,
Super Cruise may attempt steering inputs
to bring the vehicle back into the correct
lane and, in rare circumstances, could
over-correct and cause the vehicle to
momentarily cross into a lane next to
your vehicle unless you manually steer to
maintain your lane position. The Driver Attention System (DAS) on the
steering column continually monitors driver
head and eye position to estimate driver
attention to the road. The camera does not
record or share pictures, audio, or video.
Sunglasses, hats, or other types of clothing
that change the shape of the head may
interfere with camera performance. To
improve camera performance, raise or lower
the steering wheel, or change the seat
position.

detected space.
Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If equipped, vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse), Backing
Warning alerts of rear objects at vehicle
speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph), and
RAB may automatically brake hard at speeds
between 1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System will beep once
from the rear when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat. When the system detects
a potential crash, beeps will be heard from
the rear, or five pulses will be felt on both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat. There may
also be a brief, sharp application of the
brakes.

{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 windshield,
headlamps, and FCA sensors clean and in
good repair.
Collision Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
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. When this
Collision 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.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle-ahead indicator will display
amber when you are following a vehicle
ahead much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is on the steering
wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first button press
shows the current setting on the DIC.
Additional button presses will change this
setting. The chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect the timing of
both the Collision Alert and the Tailgating
Alert 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 timing 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
ACC following gap setting (Far, Medium,
or Near).

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.
.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 settings. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems.
Detecting the Pedestrian Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic braking will not
occur unless the FPB system detects a
pedestrian. When a pedestrian that may
enter the vehicle’s forward path is detected,
the pedestrian ahead indicator will display
amber.
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

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.
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 may be ready to assist at
speeds between 50 km/h (31 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
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.

Caution
If the vehicle tires begin to spin and the
vehicle begins to slide toward the water,
remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and apply the brake pedal. Seek
help to have the vehicle towed up
the ramp.
Maintenance when Trailer Towing
The vehicle needs service more often when
used to tow trailers. SeeMaintenance
Schedule 0400. It is especially important to
check the engine oil, axle lubricant, belts,
cooling system, and brake system before
and during each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts and bolts on
the trailer hitch are tight.
Engine Cooling when Trailer Towing
The cooling system may temporarily
overheat during severe operating conditions.
See Engine Overheating 0332.
Trailer Towing
If equipped with a diesel engine, see the
Duramax diesel supplement.
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, durability,
and fuel economy. 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.
Trailering Weight Ratings
When towing a trailer, the combined weight
of the vehicle, vehicle contents, trailer, and
trailer contents must be below all of the
maximum weight ratings for the vehicle,
including:
.Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
.Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
.Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
.Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear (GAWR-RR)
.Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
See “Weight-Distributing Hitch Adjustment”
under Towing Equipment 0296 to
determine if equalizer bars are required to
obtain the maximum trailer weight rating.
