Cadillac Escalade 2017 Owner's Manual page 242

vehicle speed must be below 30 km/h
(18 mph). APA does not work in 4
or 4 .
The system cannot:
Detect whether it is a legal parking
space.
Park exactly lined up with the
vehicle next to it if the spot is
approached at an angle or if the
parking space is angled.
Park exactly centred in a spot that
is marked too large.
Always detect short curbs.
When enabled, APA searches for
parallel parking spaces to the right of
the vehicle. To search for a parking
space to the left, turn on the left
indicator or, if available, change the
side selection in the infotainment
display. To switch the parking mode
between parallel and perpendicular,
press and hold during the search
process or, if available, change the
parking mode in the infotainment
display.
After completely passing a large
enough space, an audible beep occurs
and a red stop symbol is displayed.
If the vehicle is in R (Reverse), but
does not steer into the expected
space, this may be because the system
is manoeuvring the vehicle into a
previously detected space. The APA
system does not need service.
DRIVING AND OPERATING
APA will instruct the vehicle to stop
once a large enough space is found.
Follow the displayed instructions.
When instructed to drive in reverse,
shift to R (Reverse) to engage
automatic steering. The steering wheel
will briefly vibrate as a reminder to
remove hands from the steering
wheel. Check surroundings and
continue braking or accelerating as
needed, and be prepared to stop to
avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects.
If the vehicle exceeds 10 km/h
(6 mph), APA is automatically
disengaged and automatic steering
will turn off. A progress arrow displays
the status of the parking maneuver.
Depending on the space size,
additional manoeuvres may be
required, and there will be additional
instructions. When changing gears,
allow the automatic steering to
complete before continuing the
parking manoeuvre. Upon successful
completion of a manoeuvre, APA will
beep and display a PARKING
COMPLETE message. Place the vehicle
in P (Park).
