Vehicle Ahead Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The vehicle ahead indicator is displayed in the DIC when the radar identifies an in-path vehicle. The vehicle ahead indicator is a warning to the driver that a vehicle is ahead within a distance of 100 meters (109.3 yards). The indicator also serves as a feedback to the driver that the radar is functioning properly. The DSCC module commands the display of the vehicle ahead indicator via a serial data message to the BCM. The DIC displays the vehicle ahead indicator when it receives a serial data message request from the BCM. The vehicle ahead indicator only displays with the ACC active and may sometimes display for stationary road objects.
