Safety or driver assistance features are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read your Owner's Manual for important feature limitations and information.

SAFETY ALERT SEAT – The driver's seat pulses (left, right, or both sides) to alert you of the direction of potential hazards.

• Audible alerts may be selected instead of seat pulsing alerts. To change the alert settings, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Alert Type.

FORWARD COLLISION ALERT – The Vehicle Ahead indicator is green when a vehicle that you're following is detected ahead and is amber when you're following a vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).

• Press the Forward Collision Alert button on the steering wheel to set the alert timing to Far, Medium or Near. This is also the Adaptive Cruise Control♦ Following Gap setting.

FOLLOWING DISTANCE INDICATOR♦ – The following distance to a vehicle detected ahead is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING – At speeds below 50 mph, the system works with Forward Collision Alert to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a vehicle you're following. Camera technology is used to automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver's hard braking.

• To set Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Alert to Alert and Brake, Alert, or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Forward Collision System.

LANE CHANGE ALERT WITH SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT – While driving, the system displays a symbol on the left- or right-side mirror when a moving vehicle is detected rapidly approaching or is in that side blind zone area. The symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.

• To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems > Lane Change Alert.

LANE KEEP ASSIST WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING♦ – The system may help you avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The Lane Keep Assist indicator is green if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle unintentionally approaches a detected lane marking, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel to help prevent lane departure and displays an amber . If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. The system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle. Alerts do not occur when using the turn signal in the lane departure direction or intentional lane departure is detected.

• Press the Lane Keep Assist button (A) on the center of the instrument panel to turn the system on or off.

FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING – During daytime driving below 50 mph, the system can detect pedestrians directly ahead and displays an amber indicator.

Nighttime and low-visibility performance are limited.

• To set to Alert or Off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/ Detection Systems > Rear Pedestrian Detection.

REVERSE AUTOMATIC BRAKING♦ – In detected, potentially imminent collision situations with some objects behind your vehicle while in Reverse, the system can provide alerts and hard emergency braking, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.

FRONT♦ AND REAR PARK ASSIST – During low-speed parking maneuvers, the system provides "distance to closest object" information on the Driver Information Center and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or a beep sounds (if selected). When an object is very close, the Safety Alert Seat pulses or 5 beeps sound (if selected).

• Press the Park Assist button (B) on the center of the instrument panel to turn Reverse Automatic Braking and Park Assist on or off.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT – When in Reverse, the system warns of detected cross-traffic approaching in either direction by displaying a red triangle with directional arrow alert on the infotainment screen and the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).

• To turn the system on or off, go to Settings > Vehicle > Collision/ Detection Systems > Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Roadside Assistance provides every Cadillac owner with the advantage of contacting a Cadillac advisor and, when appropriate, a Cadillac-trained dealer technician who can provide on-site services, including towing service, battery jump starting, lock-out service, fuel delivery and flat-tire assistance. Services are provided for up to 6 years/70,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
