If equipped, the FCA system may help to  
avoid or reduce the harm caused by  
front-end crashes. When approaching a  
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a  
red flashing alert on the windshield and  
rapidly beeps or pulses the drivers seat. FCA  
also lights an amber visual alert if following  
another vehicle much too closely.  
Use caution while backing up when towing  
a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that  
extend out from the back of the vehicle do  
not move further back when a trailer is  
towed.

vehicle is detected, the vehicle ahead  
indicator will display green. Vehicles may  
not be detected on curves, highway exit

Work Properly  
Recommended Fuel (2.7L L4 and  
5.3L V8 Engines)  
For diesel engine vehicles, see Fuel for  
Diesel Enginesin the Duramax diesel  
supplement.  
The system performance may be  
affected by:  
Fuel  
.
Close vehicles ahead.  
.
Sudden lighting changes, such as when  
driving through tunnels.  
Top Tier Fuel  
GM recommends the use of TOP TIER  
Detergent Gasoline to keep the engine clean,  
reduce engine deposits, and maintain  
optimal vehicle performance. Look for the  
for a list of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline  
marketers and applicable countries.  
.
.
Banked roads.  
Roads with poor lane markings, such as  
two-lane roads.  
If the LKA system is not functioning  
properly when lane markings are clearly  
visible, cleaning the windshield may help.  
Regular unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM  
specification D4814 with a posted octane  
rating (R+M)/2 of 87 or greater is  
recommended. Do not use gasoline with a  
posted octane rating of less than 87, as this  
will result in reduced performance and  
driveability. If heavy knocking is heard when  
using gasoline rated at 87 or greater, the  
engine needs service.  
A camera blocked message may display if  
the camera is blocked. Some driver  
assistance systems may have reduced  
performance or not work at all. An LKA or  
LDW unavailable message may display if the  
systems are temporarily unavailable. This  
message could be due to a blocked camera.  
The LKA system does not need service. Clean  
the outside of the windshield behind the  
rearview mirror.  
Do not use any fuel labeled E85 or FlexFuel.  
Do not use gasoline with ethanol levels  
greater than 15% by volume.  
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts may occur  
due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the  
road, temporary or construction lane  
markings, or other road imperfections. This
