Cadillac 2008 STS-V Automobile User Manual


 
Warning the Driver
The alert symbol will
flash on the HUD and
a warning beep will
sound when driver
action may be required.
The driver warning is active when:
You are approaching a vehicle too quickly.
You are following a vehicle ahead much
too closely.
See Defensive Driving on page 4-2 for more
information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol will only appear on the HUD
when a vehicle ahead of you is detected in your path.
If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly,
FCA will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.
The symbol may disappear on curves, highway exit
ramps, or hills. Also, when another vehicle enters the
same lane as you, the FCA system will not detect
the vehicle until it is completely in your driving lane.
{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect
a vehicle ahead. FCA may not help you avoid
a collision under these conditions. Do not use
FCA when the radar is blocked by snow, ice,
or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning
the System” under Adaptive Cruise Control
on page 3-20.
