System 0217.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
LDW may help avoid unintentional
lane departures at speeds of
56 km/h (35 mph) or greater. LDW
uses a camera sensor to detect the
lane markings. The LDW light,
@, is
green if a lane marking is detected.
If the vehicle departs the lane, the
light will change to amber and flash.
In addition, the driver seat will pulse
or beeps will sound.
See Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) 0220.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or
spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning display
will light up in the corresponding
outside side mirror and will flash if
the turn signal is on. The Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.
See

behind the vehicle on the center
stack display when the vehicle is
shifted into R (Reverse).
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system uses
a triangle with an arrow displayed
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See
Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.
Parking Assist
Front and Rear Parking Assist
(FRPA) uses sensors on the front
and rear bumper to assist with
parking and avoiding objects.
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). FRPA may display a
warning triangle on the Rear Vision
Camera screen and a graphic on
the instrument cluster to provide the
distance to an object behind the
vehicle. In addition, multiple beeps
or seat pulses may occur if very
close to an object.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0212.

Wireless Charging
The vehicle may have wireless
charging in the storage behind the
climate control system. See
Instrument Panel Storage095. The
system wirelessly charges one PMA
or Qi compatible mobile device.
To check for phone or other device
compatibility:
. In the U.S., see my.cadillac.com/
learn.
. In Canada, see
gmtotalconnect.ca.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical
devices. If you have one, it is
recommended to consult with
your doctor before using the
wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be in ON/RUN/
START, ACC/ACCESSORY,
or Retained Accessory Power
(RAP). The wireless charging feature may not correctly indicate
charging when the vehicle is in RAP.
See
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) 0185.
The operating temperature is −20 °C
(−4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone.
{Warning
Remove all metal objects from the
charging pad before charging
your mobile device. Metal objects,
such as coins, keys, rings,
or paper clips, between the phone
and charging pad will become
very hot. On the rare occasion
that the charging system does not
detect a metal object, and the
object gets wedged between the
phone and charger, remove the
phone and allow the metallic
object to cool before removing it
from the charging pad, to prevent
burns.
To charge a mobile device:
1. Open the climate control system panel.

objects on the charging pad.
3. Place the mobile device face up on the
@symbol on the
charging pad.
4. The

remove the phone from the
pad, and wait three seconds
before placing/aligning the
phone on the pad again.
Keep the storage door closed while
driving.
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the propulsion system is
started to indicate they are working.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gauges
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
Instrument Cluster
The instrument cluster displays a
preview of information that includes
electric range, charging, odometer,
and battery status. This happens
upon entry when the driver door is opened, and following the welcome
animation, before starting the
vehicle.
The CHARGING OVERRIDE/
INTERRUPT OCCURRED message
may display to indicate that a
charging override or interruption has
occurred due to one or more of the
following events:
.
Override of the charge settings
by the owner using OnStar.
. Unintended interruption of AC
power at the vehicle's
charge port.
. Interruption of charging by the
utility company using OnStar as
authorized by the vehicle owner.
There are several screens that will
display depending on the current
charging status.

Driving Information
Distracted Driving
Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.
To avoid distracted driving, always
keep your eyes on the road, hands
on the wheel, and mind on the drive.
. Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.
. Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or other
electronic devices.
. Designate a front seat
passenger to handle potential
distractions. .
Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings.
Program all trip information into
any navigation device prior to
driving.
. Wait until the vehicle is parked
to retrieve items that have fallen
to the floor.
. Stop or park the vehicle to tend
to children.
. Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.
. Avoid stressful conversations
while driving, whether with a
passenger or on a cell phone.
{Warning
Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.

174 Driving and Operating
Refer to the infotainment section for
more information on using that
system and the navigation system,
if equipped, including pairing and
using a cell phone.
Defensive Driving
Defensive driving means“always
expect the unexpected.” The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
the safety belt. See Safety
Belts 058.
. Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and
other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes.
Anticipate what they might do
and be ready.
. Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in
front of you.
. Focus on the task of driving.
Drunk Driving
Death and injury associated with
drinking and driving is a global
tragedy.
{Warning
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol. You
can have a serious —or even
fatal —collision if you drive after
drinking.
Do not drink and drive or ride with
a driver who has been drinking.
Ride home in a cab; or if you are
with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating
are important factors in helping to
control a vehicle while driving.
Braking
Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time. Average driver reaction time is
about three-quarters of a second. In
that time, a vehicle moving at
100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m
(66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.
Helpful braking tips to keep in mind
include:
.
Keep enough distance between
you and the vehicle in front
of you.
. Avoid needless heavy braking.
. Keep pace with traffic.
If propulsion is disabled while the
vehicle is being driven, brake
normally but do not pump the
brakes. If the brakes are pumped,
the pedal could get harder to push
down. If propulsion stops, there will
still be some power brake assist but
it will be used when the brake is
applied. Once the power assist is
used up, it can take longer to stop
and the brake pedal will be harder
to push.
