Automatic Parking; Assist (Apa) - Cadillac XT4 2023 Owner's Manual

The button is used to turn
on or off the Park Assist,
which also turns on or off the
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) at
the same time. When the
system is turned off, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This message
disappears after a short
period of time.
Turn off Park Assist when
towing a trailer to prevent
unwanted beeps and when a
bike rack is attached to ensure
proper operation.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
If a service message displays,
check the following conditions:
The sensors may not be
clean. Keep the vehicle's
front and rear bumpers free
of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and
slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior
Care 0 412.
The Park Assist sensors may
be covered by frost or ice.
Frost or ice can form around
and behind the sensors and
may not always be seen; this
can occur after washing the
vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until
the frost or ice has melted.
If a service message displays
and the above conditions do
not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does
not activate due to a
temporary condition, a system
off message is shown on the
display. This can occur under
the following conditions:
The driver has disabled the
system.
An object is currently
blocking the rear sensors
(for example, bike rack,
tailgate, trailer hitch, etc.).
Once the object is removed,
Park Assist will return to
normal operation.
Driving and Operating
The bumper is damaged.
Take the vehicle to your
dealer for repairs.
Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a
jackhammer or the
compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are
affecting system
performance.
