Forward Collision Alert (Fca) - Cadillac 2015 Escalade Owner's Manual

Use caution while reversing when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of the vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
Turning the Features On or Off
The button on the centre
console is used to turn on or off the
Front and Rear Parking Assist, Rear
Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic
Braking, and Reversing Warning
System at the same time. 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 Parking Assist can
be turned off, on, or on with towbar
through vehicle personalisation.

Personalisation on page 5-45. If the
parking assist is turned off through
vehicle personalisation, the park
assist button will be disabled. To
turn the parking assist on again,
select On in the vehicle
personalisation menu. The On with
Towbar setting allows for the
parking assist to work properly with
a small item attached to the trailer
hitch.

approaching a vehicle ahead too
quickly, FCA provides a red flashing

beeps or pulses the driver seat.
FCA also lights an amber visual
alert if following another vehicle
much too closely.
