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”.
{Warning
Using the FPB system 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. If the vehicle
is equipped with Super
Cruise or Adaptive Cruise
Control, FPB may be used
while 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.
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)
System 0330.
{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.

1. Low-Beam Headlamps
2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the
instrument cluster, the Night
Vision image can be displayed.
See Instrument Cluster0127.
The Night Vision system can
operate only if:
.The ignition is on.
.The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
.It is dark enough outside.
.The headlamps are on,
except when parked. Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image
no brighter than necessary.
Turn the image off by
selecting another view on the
instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as
pedestrians, animals, and
other moving vehicles, should
appear whiter on the Night
Vision display. Cold objects,
such as the sky, signs, and
parked vehicles, should appear
darker. Night Vision only
shows objects that are
warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It does not
detect brake lamps, turn
signals, emergency flashers,
traffic lights, or sign
information.
Use this system as an aid by
occasionally glancing at the
image. Do not stare at the
image or use the image under
well-lit conditions.
{Warning
Do not stare at the image
while driving as this might
cause important objects
ahead not to be seen. You
could crash, and you or
others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large
animal is detected, an amber
box displays around the
pedestrian or animal on the
Night Vision display and an
amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on
the instrument cluster. This
pedestrian icon is also shown
on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the system detects the
vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian too quickly, the
amber pedestrian icon and box
turns red, and a red flashing
icon,
~, displays on the HUD
with rapid beeping or pulsing
of the Safety Alert Seat,
if equipped.

{Warning
The Night Vision system
does not automatically brake
the vehicle. It does not
provide alerts unless it
detects a pedestrian or
large animal. The system
may not detect pedestrians,
including children, or animals:
.If they are less than 25 m
(82 ft) away.
.If they are not directly
ahead in the sensor
coverage area, fully visible,
standing upright, or part
of a group.(Continued)
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 0240. 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

{Warning
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the
vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert, even if a lane
marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems
may not:
.Provide an alert or enough
steering assist to avoid a
lane departure or crash.
.Detect lane markings
under poor weather or
visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield
or headlamps are blocked
by dirt, snow, or ice; if they
are not in proper
condition; or if the sun
shines directly into the
camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or
hilly roads.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If LKA only detects lane
markings on one side of the
road, it will only assist or
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

3. Use the fuse puller toremove the fuse from the
top or side, as shown
above. 4. If the fuse must be
replaced immediately,
borrow a replacement fuse
with the same amperage
from the fuse block.
Choose a vehicle feature
that is not needed to
safely operate the vehicle.
Repeat Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of
the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see
your dealer to replace the
blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the
lamps go on and off or
remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the
windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will
then restart.
Although the circuit is
protected from electrical
overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause
wiper linkage damage. Always
clear ice and heavy snow from
the windshield before using
the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not
snow or ice, be sure to get it
fixed.
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in the
vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.

Warning (Continued)
When replacing wheels, use
a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also
cause problems with bearing
life, brake cooling,
speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim,
bumper height, vehicle
ground clearance, and tire or
tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
Tire Chains
{Warning
If the vehicle has 265/45R21
size tires, do not use tire
chains. There is not enough
clearance. Tire chains used
on a vehicle without the
proper amount of clearance(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
can cause damage to the
brakes, suspension, or other
vehicle parts. The area
damaged by the tire chains
could cause loss of control
and a crash. Use another
type of traction device only
if its manufacturer
recommends it for the
vehicle's tire size
combination and road
conditions. Follow that
manufacturer's instructions.
To avoid vehicle damage,
drive slow and readjust or
remove the traction device if
it contacts the vehicle. Do
not spin the wheels. If
traction devices are used,
install them on the front
tires.
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped
with a tire size other than
265/45R21, use tire chains
only where legal and only
when necessary. Use low
profile chains that add no
more than 12 mm thickness
to the tire tread and inner
sidewall. Use chains that are
the proper size for the tires.
Install them on the tires of
the front axle. Do not use
chains on the tires of the
rear axle. Tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer's
instructions. If the chains
contact the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the
contact continues, slow
down until it stops. Driving
too fast or spinning the
wheels with chains on will
damage the vehicle.
