Travel Diagonally for More Maneuverability While Parking and Off-Roading

Cadillac Arrival Mode^† is a term for unique 4-Wheel Steering mode designed to offer greater maneuverability when you’re in parking situations or off-roading. By using Arrival Mode, you can traverse off-road trails or maneuver more easily in parking situations.

The feature allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels — allowing your vehicle to move more diagonally.

WHAT IS ARRIVAL MODE?

Arrival Mode is a 4-Wheel Steering setting that allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels up to a certain angle – the max. angle depends on your vehicle. This allows you to move your vehicle diagonally.

You may want to move your vehicle diagonally to make some parking maneuvers easier or in certain off-roading situations. For example, if the rear of your vehicle is facing an obstacle on the left side and you need to turn your vehicle to the right to get around it, you might risk colliding with the obstacle in Automatic Mode.

By moving the vehicle diagonally with Arrival Mode, you have the option of moving the vehicle to help avoid collisions with objects within your turning radius.

Arrival Mode can only be used at speeds below 20 mph. At speeds above 20 mph, the front and rear wheels will no longer turn at the same angle. If you continue to drive above 25 mph for longer than 10 seconds, Arrival Mode will disengage and return the system to Automatic 4-Wheel Steering mode.

HOW TO TURN ARRIVAL MODE ON

Here’s how to engage Arrival Mode:

1. Your vehicle cannot be going faster than crawl speed (about 1.2 mph).

2. Your steering wheel must be still.

3. Super Cruise®^† must not be active.

4. Depending on your vehicle, you’ll turn on Arrival Mode using either the physical button on the Driver Mode Control dial or the infotainment screen.

a. Open the Controls app on your infotainment screen.
b. Then, tap the Arrival Mode button in the Controls app, then tap the Arrival Mode icon on the confirmation screen.

5. When Arrival Mode is first engaging, you’ll see an animation on your infotainment screen.

6. Once Arrival Mode is active, you can drive at speeds of up to 20 mph. Above 20 mph, the front and rear wheels will no longer turn at the same angle.

As with other 4-Wheel Steering modes, there is a limit to how far your rear wheels will turn — the max. angle depends on your vehicle.

HOW TO TURN ARRIVAL MODE OFF

To turn Arrival Mode off:

1. Tap the Arrival Mode icon on the left side of your infotainment screen.

2. Turn off the feature through the Controls app.

Q&As

WHY CAN'T I TURN ARRIVAL MODE ON?

Arrival Mode can only be enabled when your vehicle is at crawl speed (up to 1.2 mph) or stopped. Your steering wheel must be still before you can turn the feature on as well. The feature will also temporarily disable itself if you go above 20 mph and turn back on when you go below 20 mph again. If you go faster than 25 mph for more than 10 seconds, Arrival Mode will disengage.
