SAFETY COVERAGE USING Radar, digital cameras, or ultrasonic sensors

FORWARD COLLISION ALERT (HELPS PREVENT REAR END CRASHES)

• USES A DIGITAL CAMERA TO SPOT VEHICLES AND DETERMINE IF THEY ARE IN YOUR PATH

• HAS INTELLIGENT OBJECT IDENTIFICATION (SIGNS, BRIDGES) AND ALERT SUPPRESSION-TURN SIGNAL USED OR STEERING INPUT

• CALCULATES POTENTIAL LIKELIHOOD OF A FORWARD CRASH BASED ON CLOSING SPEED, DISTANCE TO VEHICLE AHEAD)

• DRIVER SELECTABLE “NEAR/MEDIUM/FAR” ALERT DISTANCE

• COLLISION ALERT “TALKS” TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND PRE-PRESSURIZES THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN ANTICIPATION OF A HARD BRAKE APPLY SO YOU CAN GET TO MAXIMUM BRAKING QUICKER

1

• HELPS REMIND YOU TO STAY IN YOUR LANE WHEN DRIFTING OUT OF THE LANE

• FORWARD-LOOKING DIGITAL CAMERA ABOVE THE REARVIEW MIRROR “READS” THE LANE LINES

• “INTELLIGENT” ALERT SUPPRESSION E.G., TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED OR THERE IS DELIBERATE STEERING INPUT – THIS CANCELS ALERT WARNING

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING (HELPS AVOID LANE DRIFT AND RUN-OFF-ROAD CRASHES)

Digital Camera is

Works at speeds above 35 mph Green: Indicates lane detected ahead “ready” Flashing yellow: Lane Departure Warning

– 3 low-pitched left or right beeps – or -- – 3 left/right “rumble-strip” type Safety Seat vibrations

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING 2

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT (HELPS AVOID LANE CHANGE CRASHES)

• LANE-CHANGE AID USES SIDE RADAR TO HELP AVOID BLIND ZONE CRASHES - ONE LANE OVER

• ICON LIGHTS UP IN SIDE MIRROR WHEN VEHICLE IS DETECTED IN YOUR LEFT OR RIGHT BLIND SPOT;

• WARNING ICON IN THE MIRROR FLASHES IF THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER IS DEPRESSED

Radar Location

8 Feet

16 Feet 3

REAR VISION CAMERA (HELPS AVOID BACK UP CRASHES)

• CAMERA VIEW FOR A BETTER VIEW TO THE REAR

• A STEERING GRID IS OVERLAID ON REAR VIEW

• ALSO WORKS WITH PARK ASSIST SYSTEM AND REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT SYSTEM

• AVAILABLE ON ALL 2014 GM CARS AND TRUCKS EXCEPT CHEVROLET SPARK AND CAPRICE PPV

4

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (HELPS AVOID BACKUP CRASHES)

• USES RADAR TO SENSE MOVING “CROSS” TRAFFIC THAT’S UP TO 65 FEET AWAY

• WHEN TRAFFIC IS DETECTED TRIGGERS AN ALERT WITH A DIRECTIONAL TRIANGLE

• ALERT IS 5 AUDIBLE BEEPS OR 5 LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE SAFETY SEAT VIBRATIONS

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

• USING FORWARD-LOOKING RADAR THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS ENHANCED BY PROVIDING AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION AND AUTOMATIC (MODERATE) BRAKING

• WORKS EVEN IN “STOP AND GO” TRAFFIC TO AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW VEHICLE AHEAD

• AFTER A STOP, HIT “RESUME” OR TAP ACCELERATOR ACC RE-STARTS AUTOMATICALLY

Set “Following Gap” to Near, Medium, or Far

Press “UP” to

SET Cruise

AUTOMATIC COLLISION PREPARATION BRAKING/ COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING

USES RADAR TO MONITOR THE ROAD DETERMINING IF A COLLISION IS “IMMINENT”

• If driver fails to respond to FCA warning, or if crash situation happens very quickly, the system can provide automatic braking

• Under low speeds situations, a crash may be avoided altogether

• At higher speeds, this system can reduce crash impact speed that is critical for reducing injury and crash damage, and saving lives
