Go through the vehicle settings and make sure they are all turned on (some can be disabled in settings, some can be disabled with the buttons under the climate control).

Long press the cruise button to switch between standard cruise and adaptive cruise.

It sucks that they don't include owners manuals anymore, but it is built into the infotainment system or in the myCadillac app

 

I wish it was that easy but that yellow icon showing collision avoidance not working cuts out all the other systems I believe.

 

Possible, but if that icon is on, one of the [simplest] reasons is that the system was turned off in the settings

 

mrprovy. Can you get that light to stay on in yellow? If so please let.me know what setting that is. Thanks!

 

I'm color blind, so I'll post up some pictures...

 

Thanks I will try this as soon as my wife gets back with the car.

 

Ok all are set to Brake and alert but the light is still on. I am turning them all off and disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to see if something resets

 

IDK if there are any other settings that would affect the light, but did you check the two sensor areas in the front bumper and the camera area ifo the rear view mirror to ensure they are clean

 

No nothing seems to work even after trying to reset everything

 

Booked in for service Friday

 

Hopefully the fix is something simple. Good luck.

 

Yes already asking about cutting wire harnesses. I had a nightmare on my Silverado. Hope it's just a software update. I also noticed this morning only the fron t speaker was working when I faded it back there was no sound
Tried it an hour later and it seems fine.

 

I have begun to despise all the electronics and gadgets in these cars. It just takes the thrill out of new car ownership when you have to hold your breath each time you sit in the driver's seat.

 

Update! Took the XT4 in on Friday and first the advisor says "you have it turned off and your windshield is dirty" I tell him no it doesn't work along with blindspot and also had just realized backup light not working. Asked were I bought it and they were not the dealer. Not getting a good feeling from thos guy. Anyway I get a call 2 hours later that they found the problem. The selling dealer when installing the factory supplied trailer hitch had to unplug a wiring harness after he installed the hitch he never reconnected the harness. Tech said there was over 400 codes in memory. Also said it was not warranty and would need to pay $448. I called my selling dealer that was 3 hour drive away and spoke to the sales manager and they said No Problem we will look after it. So I was feeling good that ot was that easy but today I was trying to check everything and I notice I could get the cruise to work the blind spot and the rear pedestrian alert to all work. When I get my wife to walk across the front of the car or creep up to the garage door nothing happens. I think the forward collision is still messed up. Any thoughts? Thank

 

Good grief. I'm really sorry you are having such a poor experience with your brand new car. I wish I had some suggestions but all I can offer is my sympathy. All of that crap should be warranty so maybe find a different dealer and see if they can fix it for you.

 

If it was a reasonable charge I would let your local dealership take care of it, if for no other reason than avoiding a 6 hour round-trip drive. Also, the fact that they pulled a bonehead move like that would not make me feel warm and fuzzy about your selling dealer's techs. Not sure how re-connecting a wiring harness plug costs $448. There has to be more to it than that.

You might try giving the service manager at your local dealership a call (not the service writer, the manager), explain the situation, and see if there is anything he/she can do to make the price more reasonable.

 

Sorry Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The dealer in my hometown charged 2 hours to diagnose and find out what was wrong. He had a series of checks to do before he found the unplug harness, cleaned and hooked it back up, cleared the codes and reset parameters I was told.I called the selling dealer after I was told it wouldn't be warranty. The selling dealer Paid the bill right away without hesitation.

 

Ahh ok....so your local dealership fixed the problem at the selling dealer's expense. That's the good part. But if I understand correctly you feel the foward collision alert still isn't working after the local dealer's fix?

 

Yes PSL_XT4 The rear harness fixed the backup light, blind spot, cruise and lane keep assist. Not sure if the front sensor alerts ever worked as we have only had it about a week. When my wife walked across the front of the car the camera on the dash shows her but no alerts. Also when I pull up to the garage door no alert. Also no warning that Front Collision is unavailable which did show before it went in for the work. Maybe it is something the repair tech somehow disabled.

 

From the owner's manual:

FCA does not warn of pedestrians, animals,
signs, guardrails, bridges, construction
barrels, or other objects. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes.

 

This link shows the safety features the XT4 has. Front pedestrian alert is included.

Looks like MrPeabodyPA is right. I went to the local dealer today and the 25's do not have parking sensors in the front bumper.I thought this job was handled by the 2 cameras but it isn't. Pedestrian alert starts at 8 kms to 80 kms according to the Cadillac site.
