{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.
Pay close attention to the road ahead
to avoid these three increasing alerts:

Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
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

Turning the Feature On or Off
Turn off RCTA when towing a trailer.
RCTA can also be turned on or off
through vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/Detection Systems”under
Vehicle Personalization 0120.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle
in a forward gear, Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane Change
Alert (LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System can
help to avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision Alert
(FCA) System
The FCA system may help to avoid or
reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes. When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA provides a red
flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat. FCA also lights an amber visual alert
if following another vehicle too
closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance
of approximately 60 m (197 ft) and
operates at speeds above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If the vehicle has Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC), it can detect
vehicles to distances of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at all
speeds. See
Adaptive Cruise Control
(Advanced) 0269.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and does
not apply the brakes. When
approaching a slower-moving or
stopped vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle too
closely, FCA may not provide a
warning with enough time to help
avoid a crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all. FCA
does not warn of pedestrians,
animals, signs, guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels, or other
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. SeeDefensive
Driving 0210.
FCA can be disabled through vehicle
personalization. See "Collision/
Detection Systems" under Vehicle
Personalization 0120.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
FCA warnings will not occur unless
the FCA system detects a vehicle
ahead. When a vehicle is detected, the
vehicle ahead indicator will display
green. Vehicles may not be detected
on curves, highway exit ramps,
or hills, due to poor visibility; or if a
vehicle ahead is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other objects. FCA will
not detect another vehicle ahead until
it is completely in the driving lane.

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) (Base
Level)0109 or
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Uplevel) 0112. 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 in the path ahead
that is traveling in the same direction,
it can provide a boost to braking,
or automatically brake the vehicle, to
avoid a crash. 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. When detecting a vehicle,
the Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
vehicle ahead indicator light will be
on. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System 0301.
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. (Continued)
