What Is the Cadillac Smart System?

The Cadillac Smart System is the foundation of every modern Cadillac. It integrates cutting-edge driver assistance and safety features to support you on the road, whether it’s your everyday commute or a weekend adventure. This system continuously monitors your surroundings, alerts you to potential hazards, and even intervenes when necessary to help avoid collisions.

Beyond safety, the system also enhances convenience, connecting seamlessly with your infotainment system and vehicle diagnostics to ensure your Cadillac always performs at its best.

Key Features of the Cadillac Smart System

Here are the core features that make up the Cadillac Smart System, keeping you safe mile after mile.

Automatic Emergency Braking

This feature helps reduce the severity of a collision or avoid it altogether. If your Cadillac detects a potential front-end collision, it can automatically apply the brakes when necessary. This is especially helpful in low-speed conditions like city traffic.

Forward Collision Alert

Designed to keep you aware of the road ahead, Forward Collision Alert notifies you when it detects a vehicle you’re closing in on too quickly. Combine this with Automatic Emergency Braking, and you gain vital seconds to react safely.

Safety Alert Seat

A signature feature of Cadillac, this innovative seat vibrates on the left, right, or both sides to indicate the direction of potential hazards. Now, you’re even more aware of a passing vehicle or a pedestrian stepping into your path. It’s a subtle, intuitive cue that keeps your attention on the road without relying on sound alone.

Rear Seat Reminder

A small but vital feature, Rear Seat Reminder alerts you to check the back seat before exiting the vehicle, helping prevent forgotten passengers or items.

Front Pedestrian Braking

Using front-facing sensors, this feature detects pedestrians directly ahead and can automatically apply the brakes if a collision appears imminent. It’s especially helpful in urban areas or during nighttime driving.

HD Rear Vision Camera

The vision camera delivers a clear, high-resolution image of the area behind your vehicle, improving your visibility while reversing or parking.

Teen Driver

Perfect for families, Teen Driver helps promote safer habits for new drivers. It lets parents set custom speed and audio limits, mutes audio until seat belts are fastened, and generates an in-vehicle driving report that tracks how the vehicle was driven. This system builds accountability while giving parents peace of mind every time their teen gets behind the wheel.
