SAFETY & DRIVER ASSISTANCE

CADILLAC SMART SYSTEM: A SUITE OF STANDARD FEATURES 

Buckle up and drive with added confidence. From Automatic Emergency Braking to Vehicle Diagnostics and more, a suite of safety and driver assistance features are standard in your CT5.

Safety or driver-assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.

EMERGENCY BRAKING

FRONT PEDESTRIAN BRAKING

Front Pedestrian Braking can help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision with a pedestrian it detects directly ahead of you. It provides pedestrian alerts and can even automatically provide hard emergency braking or enhance the driver’s hard braking. The system works at speeds between 8 and 80 km/h during the daytime. It has limited nighttime and low visibility performance.
