behind and 1.2 m (4 ft) in front
of your vehicle that are taller
than 25 cm (10 in).
Different environmental
conditions may affect whether
and how far the Park Assist
system can detect objects.
Keep the sensors clean of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush;
and clean sensors after a car
wash in freezing
temperatures. Sensors that
are not clean may not detect
objects or may cause the
system to alert when not
required.
{Warning
The Park Assist System is
no substitute for careful and
attentive driving. The Park
Assist system does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or
that are too close or too far
from the vehicle. It is not
available at speeds greater(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
than 9 km/h (6 mph). To
prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
Park Assist, always check
the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before
moving forward or backing.
How the System Works
The vehicle may have a Park
Assist amphitheatre-like
display on the cluster with
bars that represent the
estimated location of a
detected object and the
vehicle’s distance from the
object. As a detected object
becomes closer, more bars
light up and change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is first
detected in the rear, one beep
will be heard from the rear,
or the driver's seat will pulse
two times, if equipped with
Safety Alert Seat. When an
object is very close, five beeps will sound from the front or
rear (depending on the
object's location), or the
driver's seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for front are
higher pitched than the rear.
Turning the System On
and Off
The Park Assist System can
be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select
“Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.

acceleration and gear shifting
as needed. The driver must
always be prepared to apply
braking or additional
acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps
help to guide the parking
maneuvers.
{Warning
APA may not always detect
objects in the parking space,
objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link
fences), objects below the
bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks),
hanging objects, objects
below ground level (e.g. large
potholes), or moving objects
(e.g. pedestrians, cyclists,
vehicles). Always verify that
the parking space is
appropriate for parking a
vehicle. APA may not
respond to changes in the
parking space, such as
movement of an adjacent(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking
space. APA does not detect
or avoid traffic that is
behind or alongside of the
vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during
the parking maneuver.
How to Activate Automatic
Parking
To activate APA, press the
soft-touch button or hard
switch
Ofor the system to
begin searching for a parking
space while driving forward at
no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). By default,
APA searches for parallel
parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle up to the sensors’
range of 1.5 m (5 ft). To search
for a parking space to the left,
turn on the left turn signal or,
if available, change the side
selection in the infotainment
display. To switch the parking mode between parallel and
perpendicular press and hold
Owhile searching for a valid
parking spot or, if available,
change the parking mode in
the infotainment display.
APA cannot park in all empty
parking spots. The parking
spot must:
.Be sufficiently large to fit the
vehicle comfortably.
.Have an adjacent vehicle,
wall, or pillar for the system
to align to.
After completely passing an
eligible parking spot, a beep
sounds and a red stop symbol
is displayed in the driver
information center. Generally,

296 Driving and Operating
Unexpected braking events
are possible with a static
installed accessory, such as a
bike rack or hitch-mounted
cargo carrier.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
If equipped, and under certain
conditions, this feature can
provide alerts for a pedestrian
within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle.
This feature only works in
R (Reverse) below 12 km/h
(8 mph), and detects
pedestrians up to 8 m (26 ft)
away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving,
feature performance is very
limited.
Rear Pedestrian AlertIndicator When a pedestrian is detected
within the system’s range
directly behind the vehicle, this
symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along
with five beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver
seat. When a pedestrian is
detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the
infotainment display, along
with ten beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, seven pulses
from both sides of the
driver seat.
{Warning
Rear Pedestrian Alert does
not automatically brake the
vehicle. It also does not
provide an alert unless it
detects a pedestrian, and it
may not detect all
pedestrians if:

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.

Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
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
If equipped, 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.

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
298 Driving and Operating
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)0273.
{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,
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or other objects. Be ready to
take action and apply the
brakes. See Defensive
Driving0230.
FCA can be disabled. To view
available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.
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

Driving and Operating 301
Warning (Continued)
AEB may not:
.Detect a vehicle ahead on
winding or hilly roads.
.Detect all vehicles,
especially vehicles with a
trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
.Detect a vehicle when
weather limits visibility,
such as in fog, rain,
or snow.
.Detect a vehicle ahead if it
is partially blocked by
pedestrians or other
objects.
Complete attention is
always required while
driving, and you should be
ready to take action and
apply the brakes and/or
steer the vehicle to avoid
crashes. AEB may slow the vehicle to a
complete stop to try to avoid a
potential crash. If this
happens, AEB may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB or firmly
press the accelerator pedal.
{Warning
AEB may automatically
brake the vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could respond to a turning
vehicle ahead, guardrails,
signs, and other non-moving
objects. To override AEB,
firmly press the accelerator
pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Intelligent Brake
Assist (IBA)
IBA may activate when the
brake pedal is applied quickly
by providing a boost to
braking based on the speed of
approach and distance to a
vehicle ahead. Minor brake pedal pulsations
or pedal movement during this
time is normal and the brake
pedal should continue to be
applied as needed. IBA will
automatically disengage only
when the brake pedal is
released.
{Warning
IBA may increase vehicle
braking in situations when it
may not be necessary. You
could block the flow of
traffic. If this occurs, take
your foot off the brake pedal
and then apply the brakes as
needed.
AEB and IBA can be disabled
through vehicle settings. To
view available settings for this
feature, touch the Settings
icon on the infotainment home
page. Select “Vehicle”to
display the list of available
options and select “Collision/
Detection Systems”.

Driving and Operating 303
Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving0230. Keep the
windshield, headlamps, and
FPB sensor clean and in
good repair.
FPB can be set to Off, Alert,
or Alert and Brake through
vehicle settings. To view
available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems.
Detecting the Pedestrian
Ahead
FPB alerts and automatic
braking will not occur unless
the FPB system detects a pedestrian. When a pedestrian
that may enter the vehicle’s
forward path is detected, the
pedestrian ahead indicator will
display amber.
Front Pedestrian Alert
With Head-Up Display
Without Head-Up Display
When the vehicle approaches
a pedestrian ahead too rapidly,
the red FPB alert display will
flash on the windshield. Eight
rapid high-pitched beeps will
sound from the front, or both
sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. When this
Pedestrian Alert occurs, the
brake system may prepare for
driver braking to occur more
rapidly which can cause a
brief, mild deceleration.
Continue to apply the brake
pedal as needed. Cruise
control may be disengaged
when the Front Pedestrian
Alert occurs.
Automatic Braking
If FPB detects it is about to
crash into a pedestrian
directly ahead, and the brakes
have not been applied, FPB
may automatically brake
moderately or brake hard. This
can help to avoid some very
low speed pedestrian crashes
or reduce pedestrian injury.
FPB can automatically brake
to detected pedestrians
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and
80 km/h (50 mph). Automatic
braking levels may be reduced
under certain conditions, such
as higher speeds.

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
304 Driving and Operating
If this happens, Automatic
Braking may engage the
Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
to hold the vehicle at a stop.
Release the EPB. A firm press
of the accelerator pedal will
also release Automatic
Braking and the EPB.
{Warning
FPB may alert or
automatically brake the
vehicle suddenly in
situations where it is
unexpected and undesired.
It could falsely alert or brake
for objects similar in shape
or size to pedestrians,
including shadows. This is
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need
service. To override
Automatic Braking, firmly
press the accelerator pedal,
if it is safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be
disabled through vehicle
settings.To view available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems > Front Pedestrian
Detection.
{Warning
Using AEB or IBA while
towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the
system to Alert or Off when
towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the
outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror
may correct the issue.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side
blind zone, or blind spot areas.
When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected
in that blind zone. If the turn
signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the
same side, the display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this
system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
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
Page 307 of 476

Cadillac XT4 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
306 Driving and Operating
light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the
turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected
vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled through
vehicle settings. When you
disable LCA, SBZA is also
disabled. To view available
settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems. If LCA is disabled by
the driver, the LCA mirror
displays will not light up.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driving on a straighthighway road with traffic and
roadside objects (e.g.,
guardrails, barriers).
LCA displays may not come on
when passing a vehicle quickly,
for a stopped vehicle, or when
towing a trailer. The LCA
detection zones that extend
back from the side of the
vehicle do not move further
back when a trailer is towed.
Use caution while changing
lanes when towing a trailer.
LCA may alert to objects
attached to the vehicle, such
as a trailer, bicycle, or object
extending out to either side of
the vehicle. Attached objects
may also interfere with the
detection of vehicles. This is
normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need service.
LCA may not always alert the
driver to vehicles in the next
lane over, especially in wet
conditions or when driving on
sharp curves. The system
does not need to be serviced.
The system may light up dueto guardrails, signs, trees,
shrubs, and other non-moving
objects. This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service.
LCA may not operate when
the LCA sensors in the left or
right corners of the rear
bumper are covered with mud,
dirt, snow, ice, or slush, or in
heavy rainstorms. For cleaning
instructions, see "Washing the
Vehicle" under Exterior Care
0
412. If the DIC still displays
the system unavailable
message after cleaning both
sides of the vehicle toward the
rear corners of the vehicle,
see your dealer.
If the LCA displays do not light
up when moving vehicles are
in the side blind zone or are
rapidly approaching this zone
and the system is clean, the
system may need service.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer.

Customer
Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill
are important to your dealer
and to Cadillac. Normally, any
concerns with the sales
transaction or the operation
of the vehicle will be resolved
by your dealer's sales or
service departments.
Sometimes, however, despite
the best intentions of all
concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has
not been resolved to your
satisfaction, the following
steps should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your
concern with a member of
dealership management.
Normally, concerns can be
quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales,
