{Warning
Super Cruise does not perform all aspects
of driving, nor does it do everything a
driver can do. Super Cruise only steers to
maintain vehicle position in the current
lane or, under some circumstances, to
change lanes. Super Cruise can only be
used with Adaptive Cruise Control.
Super Cruise does:
.Not prevent crashes or warn of
possible crashes.
.Not steer to avoid stopped or
slow-moving vehicles, cross-traffic,
construction barriers or cones,
motorcycles, children, pedestrians,
animals, or other objects on the road.
.Not steer in response to vehicles or
objects next to your vehicle, including
vehicles attempting to enter your lane. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Not respond to traffic lights, stop
signs, or other traffic control devices.
.Not respond to crossing traffic.
.Not make turns.
.Not steer to merge onto or to exit
highways.
.Not steer to avoid, or steer through
construction zones.
.Not function on surface streets.
.Not respond to oncoming traffic.
.Not function in city driving conditions.
{Warning
Some state and local laws may require
hands to be kept on the steering wheel
at all times. Only remove your hands
from the steering wheel if Super Cruise is
engaged, it is safe to do so, and it is
permitted by state and local laws.
{Warning
Failure to supervise the driving task and
to respond appropriately, even while
Super Cruise is operating, can cause a
crash. Super Cruise may not respond as
you would to all driving situations and
may not maintain lane position under all
conditions.
It is extremely important to pay
attention to the operation of the vehicle,
even while using Super Cruise. Do not
use a hand-held device while driving,
even with Super Cruise engaged. To
prevent serious injury or death:
.Always remain properly seated in the
driver seat with your seat belt
fastened.
.Never remove your hands from the
steering wheel when Super Cruise is
not operating.
.Always make sure traffic conditions
are safe before using Super Cruise.
.Always keep the entire vehicle and the
sensors clean. Sensors are on the
front, sides, and rear of the vehicle.(Continued)

.The vehicle is shifted to another gear.
Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with the Rear
Park Assist (RPA) and Front Park Assist (FPA).
The Park Assist system may provide
assistance to driver while backing up and
parking. Park Assist uses ultrasonic sensors
in the bumper to measure the distance
between the vehicle and objects. The system calculates the distance between vehicle and
object via measuring the time it takes for
the ultrasonic waves to bounce back from
the object. Park Assist works only at speeds
up to about 11 Km/h (7 mph). An illuminated
indicater light in the parking system is
ready to operate. The sensors on the
bumpers may detect objects up to 1.8m
(6 ft) behind and 1.25m (4 ft) in front of the
vehicle within a one 25 cm (10) high off the
ground and below bumper level. These
detection distances may be shorter during
warmer or humid weather. Blocked sensors
will not detect objects and can also cause
false detections. Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush and clean
sensors after a wash in freezing
temperatures.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is no substitute
for careful and attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater than 11 km/h
(7 mph). To prevent injury, death,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or vehicle damage, even with Park Assist,
always check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.
How the system works
The instrument cluster may have a Park
Assist display with bars that show distance
to object, driving direction, and object
location information for the Park Assist
system. As the object gets closer, more bars
light up and the bars change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is very close to the vehicle
rear (<0.6m (2 ft)), five beeps will sound
from the rear followed by a continuous
beep from the rear, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. When

262 Driving and Operating
{Warning
The Backing Warning System only
operates at speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too close
or too far from the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher backing
speeds, there may not be enough time
for the short, sharp application of the
vehicle brake system to occur. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle damage, even
with the Backing Warning System, always
check the area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before backing.
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse), if the
system detects the vehicle is backing too
fast to avoid a crash with a detected object
behind your vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a stop to help
avoid or reduce the harm caused by a
backing crash.
{Warning
RAB may not avoid many types of
backing crashes. Do not wait for the
automatic braking to apply. This system
is not designed to replace driver braking
and only works in R (Reverse) when an
object is detected directly behind the
vehicle. It may not brake or stop in time
to avoid a crash. It will not brake for
objects when the vehicle is moving at
very low speeds. It does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects below the bumper or that are
too close or too far from 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 time to override RAB.
{Warning
There may be instances where
unexpected or undesired automatic
braking occurs. If this happens, either
press the brake pedal or firmly press the
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
safe to proceed.
Unexpected braking events are possible with
a static installed accessory, such as a bike
rack or hitch-mounted cargo carrier.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
If equipped, and 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.
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does not
automatically brake the vehicle. It also
does not provide an alert unless it
detects a pedestrian, and it may not
detect all pedestrians if:
.The pedestrian is not directly behind
the vehicle, fully visible to the Rear
Vision Camera (RVC), or standing
upright.
.The pedestrian is part of a group.
.The pedestrian is a child.
.Visibility is poor, including nighttime
conditions, fog, rain, or snow.
.The RVC is blocked by dirt, snow,
or ice.
.The RVC, taillamps, or back-up lamps
are not cleaned or in proper working
condition.
.The vehicle is not in R (Reverse).
To help avoid death or injury, always
check for pedestrians around the vehicle
before backing up. Be ready to take (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
action and apply the brakes. See
Defensive Driving0185. Keep the RVC,
taillamps, and back-up lamps clean and in
good repair.
Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off or
Alert. To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays a red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the
left or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an object
is detected, either three beeps sound from
the left or right or three Safety Alert Seat

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 0185. 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
