Cadillac 2015 - CRC manual Rear Cross Traffic Alert Rcta System, Parking Assist

1-18 In Brief

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) System

If equipped, the RCTA system uses a triangle with an arrow displayed on the RVC screen to warn of traffic behind your vehicle that may cross your vehicle's path while in

R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will sound, or the driver seat will pulse.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-44.

Parking Assist

If equipped, Rear Parking

Assist (RPA) uses sensors on the rear bumper to assist with parking and avoiding objects while in

R (Reverse). It operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may display a warning triangle on the Rear Vision Camera screen and a graphic on the instrument cluster to provide the object distance. In addition, multiple beeps or seat pulses may occur if very close to an object.

The vehicle may also have the Front Parking Assist system.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-44.

Automatic Parking

Assist (APA)

If equipped, the APA system helps to search for and maneuver the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spots using automatic steering, DIC displays, and beeps. When the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h (18 mph), press the APA

button, O, to enable the system.

See “Automatic Parking Assist (APA)” under Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on

page 9-44.

Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) System

If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) system,

which is designed to help avoid or reduce the harm caused by backing crashes when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). If the system detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid a crash with a detected object behind your vehicle in your path, it may automatically brake hard to a stop.

See Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing on page 9-44.

Active Emergency

Braking System

If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) it also has the Active Emergency Braking System, which includes Intelligent Brake

Assist (IBA) and the Automatic Collision Preparation (ACP) System. These systems can provide a boost to braking or automatically brake the vehicle to help avoid or lessen the severity of crashes when driving in a forward gear.

See Active Emergency Braking System on page 9-52.
