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.

Rear Pedestrian Alert can be set to Off
or Alert. See“Rear Pedestrian
Detection ”in “Collision/Detection
Systems” underVehicle Personalization
0 140. If equipped, alerts can be set to
beeps or seat pulses. See “Alert Type”
in “Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) displays a red warning triangle
with a left or right pointing arrow on
the infotainment display to warn of
traffic coming from the left or right.
This system detects objects coming
from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an
object is detected, either three beeps
sound from the left or right or three
Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle.
Driving With a Trailer
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer. The RCTA feature is
automatically disabled when a trailer
is attached to the vehicle. Turning the Features On or Off
RCTA can be turned on or off using
the infotainment system. See
“Collision/Detection Systems”
under
Vehicle Personalization 0140.
Assistance Systems for
Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle
in a forward gear, Forward Collision
Alert (FCA), Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Night Vision
System, Lane Change Alert (LCA),
and/or Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) 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 much 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) 0275.
{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
objects. Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. See Defensive
Driving 0232.
