Can someone explain to me how these two systems are supposed to work? There are several GM Youtube videos out there with that shows the system and mine does not work like the videos show.

My 2016 Tahoe LS was built with the Enhanced Driver Alert Pkg. $695 option
Build code = Y86 Driver Alert Package, UEU Sensor Forward Collision
PCW- LT Plus Pkg

1. FCA - i get a green car icon, but the icon never changes color if i approach other cars. I have never seen red HUD lights either. no beeps or audibles?? I know there are settings to pick either vibrating driver seat or audible alarm.

2. LKA - this system seems to work, but i never get audio feedback. i will get a amber icon when i leave a lane and steering wheel will have a gentle tug.

Can anyone comment on these systems? If someone has these options can you comment on how they work and if you like the options?

I already took the truck in and they calibrated the camera. still doesn't seem to be working correctly.

Thank you in advance.

In reference to the lane keep audible warning, I remember reading somewhere that it'll only give an audible warning if you leave a lane unintentionally and it cannot steer you back in. Had it happen once on curve along the highway.

My FCW system shows a yellow icon if I get too close to a car. It's called the tailgate feature I think. I have the FCW set to far which might change when it activates the tailgate warning. But I've also never gotten an FCW warning. Mind you, I haven't tried to put myself in that position.

thank you! the videos that are online seem much different than real world. Ive replicated what was shown in this video and nothing happens.
