188 Driving and Operating
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer
and when a bike rack is attached to prevent
unwanted beeps and to ensure proper
operation.
When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
If a service message displays, check the
following conditions:
.
The sensors may not be clean. Keep the
vehicle's front and rear bumpers free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. For
cleaning instructions, see Exterior Care
0 280.
.
The Park Assist sensors may be covered
by frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors and may
not always be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until the frost or
ice has melted.
If a service message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the vehicle to
your Cadillac Service Centre for repairs.
If the Park Assist System does not activate
due to a temporary condition, a system off
message is shown on the display. This can
occur under the following conditions:
.
The driver has disabled the system.
.
An object is currently blocking the rear
sensors (for example, bike rack, tailgate,
trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is
removed, Park Assist will return to normal
operation.
.
The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your Cadillac Service Centre for repairs.
.
Other conditions, such as vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, under certain conditions APA
with Braking can use sensors based on sonar
technology along the vehicle's front, rear
and sides to detect a parking space, and
automatically park or unpark the vehicle
with some driver assistance. The vehicle will
automatically manoeuvre into a detected
spot moving at or near idle speed. It does
this by automatically steering, braking,
accelerating, and gear shifting. The driver
must always be prepared to apply braking
or additional acceleration, as needed.
A display and audible beeps help to guide
the parking manoeuvres.

Warning
APA may not always detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are not rigid
(e.g. shrubs and chain-link fences), objects
below the bumper, objects high off the
ground (e.g. flatbed trucks), hanging
objects, objects below ground level (e.g.
large potholes), or moving objects (e.g.
pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles). Always
verify that the parking space is
appropriate for parking a vehicle. APA
may not respond to changes in the
parking space, such as the movement of
an adjacent vehicle, or a person or object
entering the parking space. APA does not
detect or avoid traffic that is behind or
alongside the vehicle. Always be prepared
to stop the vehicle during the parking
manoeuvre.
How to Activate Automatic Parking
To activate APA, press
O on the
infotainment screen for the system to begin
searching for a parking space while driving
forward at no greater than
30 km/h (18 mph). APA searches for parking
spaces, to the left or right of the vehicle, up
to the sensors' ranges of 1.5 m (5 ft). To
