{Warning
Super Cruise is a driver assistance system
and cannot accurately detect or predict
all situations. Super Cruise is not a crash
avoidance system. To prevent serious
injury or death, you must supervise the
driving task and monitor the road
conditions. You may need to respond to
traffic events by steering, braking,
or accelerating. See
Defensive Driving
0 183. Super Cruise also cannot determine
whether you are awake, asleep, impaired,
or properly focused on safe driving. The
vehicle could crash into other vehicles,
drive out of the lane, or drive off the
road. Complete attention is always
required while driving, even while using
Super Cruise. Be prepared to take over
steering or apply the brakes at any time.

Turning the Features On or Off
PressXon the center stack to turn on or
off the Front and Rear Park Assist. The
indicator light next to the button comes on
when the features are on and turns off
when the features have been disabled.
Front and Rear Park Assist can be turned Off
or On. There is also a Park Assist Towbar
that can be turned Off or On. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle >
Collision/Detection Systems > Park Assist.
If Park Assist is turned off through vehicle
personalization, the Park Assist button will
be disabled. To turn Park Assist on again,
select On in vehicle personalization. Setting
Park Assist Towbar to On allows Park Assist
to work properly with a trailer hitch. Some
larger trailer hitches may not be compatible.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer.
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain conditions APA
with Braking can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle’s front, rear
and sides to detect a parking spot, and
automatically park or unpark the vehicle
with some driver assistance. The vehicle will
automatically maneuver into a detected spot
moving at or near idle speed. It does this by
automatically steering, braking, accelerating,
and gear shifting. 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
appropriate for parking a vehicle. APA
may not respond to changes in the
parking space, such as movement of an
adjacent 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
Oon the
infotainment screen for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while driving
forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). APA searches for parking
spaces, to the left or right of the vehicle, up
to the sensors’ ranges 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 choose or change
the parking mode, make a selection on the
infotainment display.

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
personalization.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 or for a stopped
vehicle. LCA may alert to objects attached to
the vehicle, such as a 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 Care0379. 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
rapidly approaching this zone and the
system is clean, the system may need
service. Take the vehicle to your dealer.
Driving with a Trailer
If equipped with Lane Change Alert (LCA),
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.
Bicycle Detection
If equipped, the system may detect a
bicyclist approaching from the side or rear
of the vehicle.
If this occurs, a chime will sound in the
direction of the detection, and the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse if enabled through
vehicle settings. To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection
Systems.
Bicyclist Detection is available when the
vehicle is in D (Drive), P (Park), and for a
short time after the vehicle is turned off.
If the vehicle detects a bicyclist when it is
off, a DIC message may display and alert to
the direction of the detection. In some
cases, an Unavailable message may display.
This is normal and does not mean that the
system is broken.
Detection Zones
When the vehicle is in P (Park) or is turned
off, a bicyclist can be detected 11 m (36 ft)
behind the vehicle or 10 m (33 ft) to the
side of the vehicle.

Pulling the Trailer from the Water1. Press and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the vehicle and shift into D (Drive) or L (Low).
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Let up on the brake pedal.
5. Drive slowly until the tires are clear of the chocks.
6. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
7. Slowly pull the trailer from the water.
Caution
If the vehicle tires begin to spin and the
vehicle begins to slide toward the water,
remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal and apply the brake pedal. Seek
help to have the vehicle towed up
the ramp.
Maintenance when Trailer Towing
The vehicle needs service more often when
used to tow trailers. See Maintenance
Schedule 0389. It is especially important to
check the cooling system and brake system
before and during each trip. Check periodically that all nuts and bolts on
the trailer hitch are tight.
Trailer Towing
Caution
Towing a trailer improperly can damage
the vehicle and result in costly repairs
not covered by the vehicle warranty. To
tow a trailer correctly, follow the
directions in this section and see your
dealer for important information about
towing a trailer with the vehicle.
Trailering is different than just driving the
vehicle by itself. Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking, and
durability. Successful, safe trailering takes
correct equipment, and it has to be used
properly.
The following information has many
time-tested, important trailering tips and
safety rules. Many of these are important
for your safety and that of your passengers.
Read this section carefully before pulling a
trailer.
Trailer Weight
{Warning
Never exceed the towing capacity for
your vehicle.
Safe trailering requires monitoring the
weight, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature, and how frequently the vehicle
is used to tow a trailer.
Trailer Weight Ratings
When towing a trailer, the combined weight
of the vehicle, vehicle contents, trailer, and
trailer contents must be below all of the
maximum weight ratings for the vehicle,
including:
.Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
.Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
.Maximum Trailer Weight Rating
.Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating
.Gross Axle Weight Rating-Rear (GAWR-RR)
See “Weight-Distributing Hitch and
Adjustment” underTowing Equipment 0301
to determine if equalizer bars are required
to obtain the maximum trailer weight
rating.
