GM GM Safety and ADAS 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: GM's Rear Automatic Braking (RAB) system is designed to prevent which type of collision?
- Head-on collisions at highway speeds
- Low-speed backing collisions (Correct answer)
- Side-swipe collisions while merging
- Rollover events on curves
Correct answer: Low-speed backing collisions
Rear Automatic Braking detects objects behind the vehicle during low-speed reverse maneuvers and automatically applies the brakes to prevent backing collisions.
Question 2: What sensor type does GM's Forward Collision Alert system primarily use to detect vehicles ahead?
- Ultrasonic sensors
- Forward-facing radar (Correct answer)
- Infrared thermal camera
- Lidar array
Correct answer: Forward-facing radar
Forward Collision Alert uses a forward-facing radar sensor to measure the distance and closing speed to vehicles ahead and warn the driver.
Question 3: Which GM feature provides a bird's-eye view of the area around the vehicle by stitching together multiple camera feeds?
- Rear Vision Camera
- Surround Vision / Transparent Trailer (Correct answer)
- IntelliBeam
- HD Rear Camera
Correct answer: Surround Vision / Transparent Trailer
GM's Surround Vision system combines feeds from multiple exterior cameras to create a composite overhead view assisting with parking and low-speed maneuvering.
Question 4: When calibrating a GM front-facing camera after windshield replacement, which procedure is required?
- No calibration is needed after windshield replacement
- Static target calibration in a controlled environment (Correct answer)
- Dynamic calibration only at highway speeds
- Recalibration is performed automatically the first time rain is detected
Correct answer: Static target calibration in a controlled environment
After windshield replacement, a static target calibration using specified alignment targets must be performed to ensure the forward camera is accurately aimed.
Question 5: GM's Teen Driver technology allows parents to do which of the following?
- Remotely disable the vehicle via smartphone
- Set speed alerts and review in-vehicle report cards (Correct answer)
- Lock out all infotainment features permanently
- Enable remote steering assistance
Correct answer: Set speed alerts and review in-vehicle report cards
Teen Driver lets parents set configurable speed alerts and mute audio until seatbelts are buckled, and provides an in-vehicle report card of driving behaviors.
Question 6: What does a DTC B0084 code typically indicate on a GM vehicle?
- Engine misfire on cylinder 4
- Driver frontal airbag squib circuit fault (Correct answer)
- ABS wheel speed sensor failure
- Transmission pressure control solenoid error
Correct answer: Driver frontal airbag squib circuit fault
DTC B0084 is a GM SRS code indicating a fault in the driver frontal airbag squib (deployment) circuit, requiring SRS diagnostic procedures.
