{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 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).

When the vehicle is in D (Drive), a bicyclist
can be detected 3 m (10 ft) behind the
vehicle or to the side of the vehicle.
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) 0274.
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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.

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.
Limitations
Traffic sign memory may not operate
correctly if:
.The area of the windshield, where the
front camera is located, is not clean or is
affected by foreign objects, e.g. stickers,
window tinting, etc.
.Traffic signs are completely or partially
covered, are too low or high or difficult to
discern.
.Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or
are damaged.
.Traffic signs do not comply with the
approved traffic sign standards.
.The speed limit is displayed by certain
types of electronic speed signs.
.There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct
sunlight or shadows.
.The headlights are dirty or not correctly
aligned when driving at night.
.The navigation map data is out of date.
.The navigation map is unavailable.
Driver Attention Assist
If equipped, Driver Attention Assist alerts
the driver to pay closer attention to the
road ahead. Driver Attention Assist uses a
camera-based Driver Monitoring System. The
Driver Monitoring System on the steering
column continually monitors the driver's
head movements and eye gaze location to
determine if the driver is drowsy or
distracted. Depending on the level of the
driver’s distraction or drowsiness, Driver
Attention Assist will provide visual warnings,
chimes, and haptic movements to gently
guide the driver to look back at the road.
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.
Driver Attention Assist does not record video
or audio. It is only active while driving with
the feature enabled.
How to Activate Driver Attention Assist
Driver Attention Assist turns on
automatically every time the vehicle is
started. The feature can be enabled or
disabled through vehicle settings. To view

screen, touch Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems.
Drowsiness Alerts
Depending on the drowsiness level, Driver
Attention Assist will display escalating alerts
in the instrument cluster. These alerts
progress as the drowsiness level increases.
Each level is designated by a coffee cup and
a DIC message recommending that the
driver consider taking a rest break.
Depending on the driver’s drowsiness level,
the system will also send chimes or haptic
alerts, if equipped with Safety Alert Seat.
The higher alerts will be seen more
frequently. Not all alerts may occur during a
drowsy event.
When the maximum drowsiness alert occurs,
the driver will be presented with the
following options on the infotainment
screen:
.Phone a Friend
.Place an OnStar call
.Navigate to Nearest Point of Interest (POI)
Select an option from the list and follow the
instructions displayed on infotainment
screen.
Attention Alerts
Depending on the attention level, Driver
Attention Assist will display escalating alerts
in the instrument cluster that advance from
level one to level two as the attention level
decreases. Depending on the driver’s
distraction level, the system will also send
chimes or haptic alerts, if equipped with
Safety Alert Seat. See Driver Attention Assist
Light 0122.
When Teen Driver is Active, the radio will
momentarily be set to mute when alert
level two is active. See Teen Driver0168.
Cleaning the Camera
The camera lens cover on the steering
column may become dirty over time. If this
occurs, 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.
Limitations
Some factors can impact the performance of
the Driver Attention Assist feature, causing
it to not to function as intended. These
include (but are not limited to):
.Damage to the Driver Monitoring System,
camera, or lens.
.The camera being blocked by the steering
wheel, hands, or objects.
If there is a problem with the system, a DIC
message or icon in the instrument cluster
may display.
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 system can be ready to
assist at speeds between approximately
60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
On some vehicles, the system will instead
operate above 50 km/h (31 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
unintentionally crosses a detected lane
marking.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
Driving and Operating 275
The LKA system is not intended to keep the
vehicle centered in the lane. LKA will not
assist or alert if the turn signal is active,
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
alert may not be given. Do not expect the
LDW alert to occur when you are
intentionally crossing the 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
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
{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
lane departure. 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 an
LDW when intentionally steering across a
lane marker.

276 Driving and Operating
To turn LKA on and off, pressAon the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
wheel. If equipped, the indicator light on the
button comes on when LKA is on and turns
off when LKA is disabled. In some vehicles,
you must press the button for more than
three seconds to turn LKA off.
LKA is not available when Terrain Mode,
Snow/Ice Mode, or Off-Road Mode is
selected.
See Driver Mode Control 0209. See
Four-Wheel Steering 0210.
When attempting to enable LKA in any of
the above conditions, LKA UNAVAILABLE will
display.
When on,
Ais white, if equipped,
indicating that the system is not ready to
assist.
Ais green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by gently turning the
steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert by flashing
Aamber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat may
pulse three times, on the right or left,
depending on the lane departure direction. Take Steering
The LKA system does not continuously steer
the vehicle. If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and chime may be
provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily unavailable after
repeated take steering alerts.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes, such as when
driving through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane markings, such as
two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are clearly
visible, cleaning the windshield may help.
A camera blocked message may display if
the camera is blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have reduced
performance or not work at all. An LKA or
LDW unavailable message may display if the
systems are temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a blocked camera. The LKA system does not need service. Clean
the outside of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts may occur
due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or construction lane
markings, or other road imperfections. This
is normal system operation; the vehicle does
not need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
