weather light activates
automatically when driving in
adverse weather conditions
(heavy rain, snow, sleet,
freezing rain, etc.).
The illumination is shifted
more to the side of the road to
highlight road signs, and
reduces glare caused by
reflecting of wet roads.Maneuvering Light

light activates automatically at
speeds less than 7 km/h
(4 mph) when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse). The maneuvering
light illumination improves
parking and maneuvering
situations.

complete. If the lever is moved
momentarily to the lane
change position, the arrow will
flash three times. It will flash
six times if Tow/Haul Mode is
active.The lever returns to its
starting position when it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change, the arrow flashes
rapidly or does not come on, a
signal LED may be burned out.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12–
volt battery
When the battery state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly
increase the charge. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this
adjustment occurs, you may
see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge
or voltage display on the
Driver Information (DIC),
if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be
displayed.
If the electrical loads are very
high, the battery can be
discharged when the vehicle is
stationary. A high electrical
load occurs when several
features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling
fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power
outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery by balancing the
electrical system output and
the vehicle's electrical needs.

In some cases, it can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
These actions occur in steps
or levels without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective
action, this action may be
noticeable to the driver. If so, a
DIC battery voltage and
charging message displays.
It is recommended that the
driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0132.
Battery Power
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained if
the interior courtesy lamps or
reading lamps are accidentally
left on. If any of these lamps
are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and
then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off
about 10 minutes after the
vehicle is turned off, if the
parking lamps or headlamps
have been manually left on.
This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the
10-minute timer, turn the
exterior lamp control to the
O
position and then back to the
;or2position.
To keep the lamps on for more
than 10 minutes, the vehicle
must be on.

the vehicle in front or
oncoming traffic causes
additional environmental
obstructions, such as road
spray. ACC performance is
limited under these
conditions.(Continued)

Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera,
such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported. Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
{Warning
Stickers or accessories
attached on or around the
front or rear fascia of your
vehicle can impair the radar
sensors resulting in vehicle
damage or personal injury.
Your vehicle could brake
suddenly. Do not attach
anything on or around the
front or rear fascia, including
the license plate, the
bumper, or the grille. Use
only GM genuine
accessories.
Do not attach anything to the
front or rear fascia as this may
interfere with the radar
sensor operation. Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror, and the
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or debris.
This area needs to be cleaned
for ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
cruise control may be
available. See
“Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” previously in
this section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle” under
Exterior Care 0364.
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can
steer to maintain lane position
under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads
that are separated from
opposing traffic.

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.
{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

Collision Alert
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. 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).
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). The
minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there isno 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.

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. (Continued)
