Random Collision Avoidance Issue

My steering wheel has a button that will adjust the alert distance

Read your response yesterday morning, again, and while I was on my way home from work, I accidentally tapped that button instead of my resume button. Guess I need to play with my truck a little more, or download the OM and read it.

I love mine, it has helped me before. Does it go off sometimes when not need yes. But it does alert me to things I might not have noticed.

Tuesday morning after the wife and kids left for work and school, I rolled up to Ridgecrest to buy some new pants for work, a sunshade for my truck, and to look for some things at Home Depot. As I started to leave town, I hit Taco Bell for a quick lunch before rolling home. I placed my order, rolled up to the first window to pay, and noticed that my FCA was doing the "Funky Chicken." At first I thought it was the left sensor pinging off the building, but then I pulled up to the "Pick-Up Window," with NO ONE in front of me for more than 60ft, the exit of the drive-thru lane.

Does anyone know if the audio alert part of the front sensors can be turned off? I like the picture on the DIC, but can't stand the high pitched solid beep

Should be a way to do it in the settings. I turned mine off back when I first got my truck.

Mine has gone out twice now. They had to replace the vibrator in the seat. The replacement is going out now.

I don't have FCA on my '15 Crew Cab, just front park assist. So I don't have the windshield camera nor do I have the distance adjust button on my steering wheel.

It's a tight fit parking in my garage so the park assist alarm (red level) goes off frequently when pulling into and out of my garage. For those of you that have heard the red level "beep" it is deafening. I have gone through all the settings and have turned all audio alert levels to low, but this parking alarm does not change -it stays at the shrieking level!

I had a '15 Tahoe and now a '16 Suburban. Both of these trucks had/have the collision avoidance, with front camera, adaptive cruise, and vibrating seat. The SUV's did not have this shrieking alarm when parking close, just a good solid massage on my rear end.

So I am thinking the loud alarm is only an issue with the park assist, if you don't have the forward collision avoidance option.

So after all that hot air I have expressed, has anyone been able to disable or tune down the alarm for park assist? I don't want to turn it off every time I drive into or back out of my garage. I assume this would have to be a programming issue needed to be performed by the dealer, if the software change is even available. I have gotten used to the alarm a bit by now, but just thought I would reach out to you all since the topic was brought up.

Thanks - Shawn

Im surprised how mucrh they've changed this system from 2014-2016. On my FCA, there is just a flashing light on the windshield and a car icon on the DIC that changes from green to yellow based on how close you are to the car in front of you. There is a button on the steering wheel to adjust distance. I set mine to max. If cruise is on, it will disengage.

As for the parking assist, there is a setting in through MyLink that changes from beep alarm to vibrate. Again on my truck, there is a bar display on the DIC that flashes the closer you get to an object. Never had mine beep at me when i got too close even when i have it set to vibrate....thats weird it does that for some. Since i have my alert set to vibrate, my seat does buzz faster the closer you get to an object. There is also the "P" button on the center console to disengage the parking assist system altogether if its annoying you. Again surprised this sytem work differently in a 2015.

This appears to be a work in progress and they're not there yet. No FCA in my Silverado, but had to get one in the 2016 new version Malibu to get the 2.0 twin spool turbo. Didn't want or need it, but since all the parameters are configurable in the speedo or dashboard screens have learned to use it to my benefit.

Now when the car icon turns yellow, instead of disconnecting the cruise when the vehicle ahead is too close, the cruise system remains connected and adapts, reducing speed and falling back to maintain a distance corresponding a following time configurable in the DIC, e.g. if set for two seconds behind the forward vehicle, after reducing speed to maintain distance it will automatically resume speed up to the set point should the forward vehicle speed up. The lane maintenance system is downright freaky......once the camera recognizes a multi-lane highway if you start to veer out of either side of the lane the electric steering assist will push the steering wheel in the opposite direction to restore travel within the lane.....the faster you travel, the harder the push......setting a directional signal temporarily overrides the system for voluntarily changing lanes.

The blind spot alert lights in the mirrors work flawlessly and have proved to a helpful reminder at night. And the pedestrian alert with configurable automatic braking comes in handy at night on unlighted roads.....not only for pedestrians but for deer on the side of the road which the camera can detect in sufficient time before the headlights. I imagine they'll refine this even more and I can see getting it in my '19 Silverado.
