recommendations toward
discovering more personalized
content.
To use the full SiriusXM 360L
program, including streaming
content and listening
recommendations, OnStar
Connected Access is required.
Connected vehicle services
vary by model and require a
complete working electrical
system, cell reception, and
GPS signal. An active

Reference the SiriusXM user
guide for use and subscription
information.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices
from the accessory power
outlets if there is interference
or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16
to 65 km (10 to 40 mi).
Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that
automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can
occur, especially around tall
buildings or hills, causing the
sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM
stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The
longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms
and power lines interfere with
radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the
treble on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service provides digital
radio reception. Tall buildingsor hills can interfere with
satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or
standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels
may cause loss of the
SiriusXM signal for a period of
time. Some cellular services
may interfere with SXM
reception causing loss of
signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as
making or receiving calls,
charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause
static interference in the radio.
Unplug the mobile device or
turn it off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used
for radio, navigation, and other
communication systems,
depending on the equipped
options. Keep clear of
obstructions for clear

There may be instances
where unexpected or
undesired automatic braking
occurs. If this happens,
either press the brake pedal
or firmly press the
accelerator pedal to release
the brakes from the RAB
system. Before releasing the
brakes, check the RVC and
check the area around the
vehicle to make sure it is
safe to proceed.
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 Alert
Indicator

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:
.The pedestrian is not
directly behind the vehicle,
fully visible to the Rear
Vision Camera (RVC),
or standing upright.
.The pedestrian is part of a
group.
.The pedestrian is a child.
.Visibility is poor, including
nighttime conditions, fog,
rain, or snow.

vehicle in a forward gear,
Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA), Lane
Change Alert (LCA), Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB),
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System, and/or the
Night Vision 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.
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

0283.
{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.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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
