Location Services
This setting enables or disables sharing of
vehicle location outside the vehicle for
certain purposes. Even if the Location
Services setting is disabled, vehicle location
information will continue to be shared for
emergency services and Super Cruise,
if equipped.
System Care
The camera on the steering column has a
lens cover that may become dirty over time
and affect camera performance. Clean the
lens cover with a soft cloth sprayed with
glass cleaner. Wipe the lens gently, then dry
it. Never use abrasive cloths/cleaners or
corrosive chemicals of any kind on the lens
cover.
Super Cruise uses the front radar, front
camera, and 360 degree cameras for its
operation. Clean surfaces are required for
Super Cruise operation. SeeAdaptive Cruise
Control (Advanced) 0196, “Surround Vision
Camera” underAdvanced Driver Assistance
Systems 0223, and Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
0 245 for care information.Caution
The Super Cruise system is a highly
sophisticated system and should only be
serviced by technicians with the proper
training, tools, and safety instructions,
which your dealer has. Without proper
training and tools the vehicle may
become damaged.
Advanced Driver Assistance
Systems
This vehicle may have features that work
together to help avoid crashes or reduce
crash damage while driving, backing, and
parking. Read this entire section before
using these systems.
{Warning
Do not rely on the Driver Assistance
Systems. These systems do not replace
the need for paying attention and driving
safely. You may not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by these systems.
Failure to use proper care when driving
may result in injury, death, or vehicle
damage. See Defensive Driving 0164.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Under many conditions, these systems
will not:

Park Assist
The vehicle may be equipped with Front and
Rear Park Assist (FRPA). Under certain
conditions, the Park Assist system can assist
the driver during backing and parking maneuvers when the vehicle is driven at no
more than 9 km/h (6 mph). An illuminated
indicator in the Park Assist button indicates
the system is ready.
Sensors located in the bumpers measure the
distance between the vehicle and objects
using sonar technology. These sensors are
designed to detect certain objects up to
1.8 m (6 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front of
your vehicle that are taller than
25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental conditions may
affect whether and how far the Park Assist
system can detect objects. Keep the sensors
clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and
clean sensors after a car wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that are not clean
may not detect objects or may cause the
system to alert when not required.
{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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
available at speeds greater than 9 km/h
(6 mph). To prevent injury, death,
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 vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheater-like display on the
cluster with bars that represent the
estimated location of a detected object and
the vehicle’s distance from the object. As a
detected object becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from yellow to
amber to red.
When an object is first detected in the rear,
one beep will be heard from the rear, or the
driver's seat will pulse two times,
if equipped with Safety Alert Seat. When an
object is very close, five beeps will sound
from the front or rear (depending on the
object's location), or the driver's seat will
pulse five times. Beeps for front are higher
pitched than the rear.

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). SeeDriver Information Center
(DIC) 0111. 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)
If equipped, 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 in the path ahead that is traveling in
the same direction, and that you may crash
into, it can provide a boost to braking,
or automatically brake the vehicle. This can
help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes
when driving in a forward gear. Depending
on the situation, the vehicle may
automatically brake moderately or hard. This
Automatic Emergency Braking can only
occur if a vehicle is detected. Vehicle
detection is shown by the Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) vehicle ahead indicator being lit.
See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System
0 233.
The system works when driving in a forward
gear between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph), or on vehicles with Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), above 4 km/h (2 mph).
It can detect vehicles up to approximately
60 m (197 ft).
{Warning
AEB is an emergency crash preparation
feature and is not designed to avoid
crashes. Do not rely on AEB to brake the
vehicle. AEB will not brake outside of its
operating speed range and only responds
to detected vehicles.
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on winding or
hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles, especially vehicles
with a trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
.Detect a vehicle when weather limits
visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow.
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it is partially
blocked by pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be ready to
take action and apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.
AEB may slow the vehicle to a complete
stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this
happens, AEB may engage the Electric

Turning the Feature On or Off
Bicyclist Detection can be turned on or off
through vehicle settings. To view available
settings from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems.
Blind Zone Steering Assist (BZSA)
If equipped, the Blind Zone Steering Assist
(BZSA) system can detect a potential crash
with a moving vehicle in the lane you are
entering. It provides a brief, urgent turn of
the steering wheel to alert you to take
action to avoid a collision.
BZSA works with the Lane Keep Assist (LKA).
BZSA operates when the vehicle is in a
forward gear, and only when LKA is enabled
and able to assist. SeeLane Keep Assist
(LKA) 0245.
BZSA will provide a steering correction when
your vehicle is about to leave the current
lane of travel, with the possibility of a
collision with a vehicle in the adjacent lane.
This steering correction happens closer to
the center of the lane and has a stronger
steering correction than LKA. Unlike LKA, the
steering correction with BSZA will happen
even if your turn signal is on in the
direction of lane departure. In addition to the BZSA steering
intervention, the
Awill turn amber, six
beeps or six seat pulses will occur,
if equipped with Safety Alert Seat, and
8or|will flash on the outside
rear view mirror.
{Warning
Do not rely on Blind Zone Steering Assist
(BZSA) to prevent crashes. This system
does not replace the need to pay
attention and drive safely. Failure to use
proper care when driving may result in
vehicle damage, injury, or death.
.BZSA performance may be affected by
weather and road conditions.
.BZSA does not provide steering
assistance to avoid a vehicle that is in,
or has entered, your lane of travel.
.BZSA will not prevent a towed trailer
from crossing into the adjacent lane.
Always monitor the trailer position
while towing to ensure it is in the
same lane as your vehicle. BZSA is
only designed to detect when your
vehicle unintentionally crosses
detected lane lines.
Traffic Sign Assistant
If equipped, Traffic Sign Assistant recognizes
designated traffic signs via the front camera
located behind the windshield in front of the
interior rear view mirror, and displays the
detected speed limit in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Additionally, speed
limit information from the navigation
system map database may be used.
Caution
The system is intended to assist the
driver within a defined speed range to
discern certain traffic signs. Always pay
attention to posted speed limit signs.
Do not ignore traffic signs which are not
displayed by the system.
The system does not discern any signs
other than the conventional traffic signs
that might give or end a speed limit.
It may not detect some electronic speed
signs.

Navigation System Traffic Sign Detection
The currently displayed sign can either
originate from sign detection using the
camera, or from the navigation system map
data. If the currently displayed sign
originates from map data and the map
information changes, a new sign will be
displayed. This may lead to detection of a
new sign although no sign on the road may
have been passed. If the map data is
unavailable, Traffic Sign Assistant will turn
off automatically.
