310 Driving and Operating
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.
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can
help the driver see and alert
the driver to pedestrians or
large animals ahead of the
vehicle beyond the area lit by
the headlamps. A thermal heat
image of the view ahead is
displayed when it is dark
enough outside. If a pedestrian
or large animal is detected
more than 25 m (82 ft) away,
an amber pedestrian or animal
icon displays and a box
appears around the
pedestrian or animal. When
the system detects that the
vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead too quickly,
the box changes to red.With the Front Pedestrian
Braking system turned on,
Night Vision provides a red
Head-Up Display (HUD) alert
when the system detects that
the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead too quickly.
In addition, an alert beeps or
the Safety Alert Seat pulses,
if equipped. See Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB)
System0307.
{Warning
The system does not detect
all objects or the vehicle
distance from objects. The
system may not provide a
warning with enough time to
help avoid a crash.

312 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
.If the person or animal is
moving too quickly
through the field of view,
such as a bicyclist.
.If the pedestrian is
wearing certain types of
clothing.
.If headlamps are off,
except when parked.
.If the outside temperature
is higher than 30 °C
(86 °F).
.Due to poor visibility,
including in heavy fog, rain,
or snow.
.If the sensor is blocked by
dirt, snow, rain, or ice.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0235. Keep the
Night Vision sensor clean
and in good repair. Pedestrian detection may not
be available in high outside
temperatures. An amber icon,
*, displays. The system does
not need service.
In rain, snow, or fog the image
may not be clear and the
direction of the road ahead
may not be seen. In more
severe weather conditions,
the image may be unclear and
unusable. The system does
not need service.
Keep the system sensor clean
by activating the rear window
washer when it is dark enough
for the system to operate.
If the Night Vision image still
looks blurry, use a soft wet
cloth to gently clean the
sensor camera lens and dry
thoroughly. The sensor is
behind the lower front grille
below the driver side
headlamp.
The camera must also be
aligned to work correctly.
If the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer.
Do not attempt to adjust the
camera yourself.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.

314 Driving and Operating
Left Side
Mirror DisplayRight Side
Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started,
both outside mirror LCA
displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is
operating. 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 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, Side Blind Zone
Alert 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 driven on a straight
highway 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, suchas 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 due
to 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

316 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
provide an LDW alert when
approaching the lane on the
side where it has detected a
lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer
the vehicle. Always keep
your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane,
or vehicle damage, injury,
or death could occur. Always
keep the windshield,
headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good
repair. Do not use LKA in
bad weather conditions or
on roads with unclear lane
markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads
could cause loss of control
of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver
if a towed trailer crosses
into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or
property damage may occur
if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always
monitor the trailer position
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lane
departure. It may further
provide an audible alert or the
driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system
does not provide a LaneDeparture Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Aon the steering wheel.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. In some
vehicles a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on,
Ais white,
if equipped, indicating that the
system is not ready to assist.
Ais green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by
gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert by flashing
A
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be
three beeps, or the driver seat

Cadillac XT5 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
16406251) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
Driving and Operating 317
may pulse three times, on the
right or left, depending on the
lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and
chime may be provided. Steer
the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily
unavailable after repeated
take steering alerts.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The system performance may
be affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes,
such as when driving
through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane
markings, such as two-lane
roads.If the LKA system is not
functioning properly when lane
markings are clearly visible,
cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message
may display if the camera is
blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not
work at all. An LKA or LDW
unavailable message may
display if the systems are
temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a
blocked camera. The LKA
system does not need service.
Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW
alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or
construction lane markings,
or other road imperfections.
This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if
these conditions continue.
