Front Pedestrian Braking (Fpb); System - Cadillac CT4 2023 Owner's Manual

Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedal
movement during this time is normal and
the brake pedal should continue to be
applied as needed. IBA will automatically
disengage only when the brake pedal is
released.
Warning
IBA may increase vehicle braking in
situations when it may not be necessary.
You could block the flow of traffic. If this
occurs, take your foot off the brake pedal
and then apply the brakes as needed.
AEB and IBA can be disabled through vehicle
settings. To view available 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 AEB or IBA 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.
A system unavailable message may
display if:
The front of the vehicle or windshield is
not clean.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with
object detection.
There is a problem with the StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
The AEB system does not need service.

Front Pedestrian Braking (FPB)

System

If equipped, the FPB system may help avoid
or reduce the harm caused by front-end
crashes with nearby pedestrians when
driving in a forward gear. FPB displays an
~
amber indicator, , when a nearby
pedestrian is detected ahead. When
approaching a detected pedestrian too
quickly, FPB provides a red flashing alert on
the windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses
the driver seat. FPB can provide a boost to
braking or automatically brake the vehicle.
This system includes Intelligent Brake Assist
(IBA), and the Automatic Emergency Braking
(AEB) System may also respond to
pedestrians. See Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB) 0 266.
Driving and Operating
The FPB system can detect and alert to
pedestrians in a forward gear at speeds
between 8 km/h (5 mph) and 80 km/h
(50 mph). During daytime driving, the
system detects pedestrians up to a distance
of approximately 40 m (131 ft). During
nighttime driving, system performance is
very limited.
Warning
FPB does not provide an alert or
automatically brake the vehicle, unless it
detects a pedestrian. FPB may not detect
pedestrians, including children:
When the pedestrian is not directly
ahead, fully visible, or standing
upright, or when part of a group.
Due to poor visibility, including
nighttime conditions, fog, rain,
or snow.
If the FPB sensor is blocked by dirt,
snow, or ice.
If the headlamps or windshield are not
cleaned or in proper condition.
