Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: Driver Assistance Systems

Under many conditions, these systems will not:

•  Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.
•  Detect vehicles or objects outside the area monitored by the system.
•  Work at all driving speeds.
•  Warn you or provide you with enough time to avoid a crash.
•  Work under poor visibility or bad weather conditions.
•  Work if the detection sensor is not cleaned or is covered by ice, snow, mud, or dirt.
• Work if the detection sensor is covered up, such as with a sticker, magnet, or metal plate.
•  Work if the area surrounding the detection sensor is damaged or not properly repaired.

Complete attention is always required while driving, and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes and/or steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.
