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).
Following Distance
Indicator
The following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your
path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the DriverInformation Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132. 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.

crashes with nearby
pedestrians when driving in a
forward gear. FPB displays an
amber indicator,
~, when a
nearby pedestrian is detected
ahead. When approaching a
detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red
flashing alert on the
windshield and rapidly beeps
or pulses the driver seat. FPB
can provide a boost to braking
or automatically brake the
vehicle. This system includes
Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA),
and the Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) System may
also respond to pedestrians.
See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0345.
The FPB system can detect
and alert to pedestrians in a
forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). During
daytime driving, the system
detects pedestrians up to a
distance 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.

Washer Fluid
What to Use
When windshield washer fluid
is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions
before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Engine Compartment
Overview0373 for reservoir
location.
Caution
.Do not use washer fluid
that contains any type of
water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper
blades to chatter or skip.
.Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the
windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield
washer system and paint.
.Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the
solution to freeze and
damage the washer fluid
tank and other parts of
the washer system.
.When using concentrated
washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer instructions
for adding water.
.Fill the washer fluid tank
only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This
allows for fluid expansion
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
if freezing occurs, which
could damage the tank if it
is completely full.
Brakes
Disc brake linings, except J57
V-Series Blackwing with
carbon ceramic brakes, have
built-in wear indicators that
make a high-pitched warning
sound when the brake linings
are worn and new linings are
needed. The sound can come
and go or can be heard all the
time when the vehicle is
moving, except when applying
the brake pedal firmly. The
V-Series Blackwing has
electronic pad wear sensors.

are installed. When the system
is turned off, the front and
rear brake pad
life percentages will not
display. However, the built-in
wear indicators that make a
high-pitched warning sound
when the brake pads are worn
can still determine when the
pads should be replaced. See
Brakes 0393.
To turn off the brake pad life
system: 1. Display Brake Pad Life on the DIC. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)

When the low tire pressure
warning light comes on:1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn
signal lamp will flash.
When the recommended
pressure is reached, the
horn sounds once and the
turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn
solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire
pressure warning light.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could
cause the tire to rupture
and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
maximum pressure listed on
the tire sidewall. See Tire
Sidewall Labeling 0417 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0255.
If the tire is overinflated by
more than 35 kPa (5 psi), the
horn will sound multiple times
and the turn signal lamp will
continue to flash for several
seconds after filling stops. To
release and correct the
pressure, while the turn signal
lamp is still flashing, briefly
press the center of the valve
stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does
not flash within 15 seconds
after starting to inflate the
tire, the tire fill alert has not
been activated or is not
working. If the hazard warning flashers
are on, the tire fill alert visual
feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the
tire fill alert properly under the
following conditions:
.There is interference from
an external device or
transmitter.
.The air pressure from the
inflation device is not
sufficient to inflate the tire.
.There is a malfunction in
the TPMS.
.There is a malfunction in the
horn or turn signal lamps.
.The identification code of
the TPMS sensor is not
registered to the system.
.The battery of the TPMS
sensor is low.
If the tire fill alert does not
operate due to TPMS
interference, move the vehicle
about 1 m (3 ft) back or
forward and try again. If the

balancing are not necessary
on a regular basis. Consider an
alignment check if there is
unusual tire wear or the
vehicle is significantly pulling
to one side or the other. Some
slight pull to the left or right,
depending on the crown of the
road and/or other road
surface variations such as
troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when
driving on a smooth road, the
tires and wheels may need to
be rebalanced. See your
dealer for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is
bent, cracked, or badly rusted
or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts
should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it.
Some aluminum wheels can be
repaired. See your dealer if
any of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind
of wheel that is needed.Each new wheel should have
the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it
replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts,
wheel nuts, or Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong
replacement wheels, wheel
bolts, or wheel nuts can be
dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of
the vehicle. Tires can lose air
and cause loss of control,
resulting in a crash. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel
bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a
used one is dangerous. How
it has been used or how far
it has been driven may be
unknown. It could fail
suddenly and cause a crash.
When replacing wheels, use
a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also
cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim,
bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or
tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
