Fwd Collision system inconsistent compared to my previous 2021 Equinox. Book that came with car says a green car symbol will turn amber when too close to car in front. Mine has never turned amber.

There is a setting to change the distance sensitivity in the setting application on the main screen maybe thay will help

I think it’s called the “gap” setting controlled by a switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Yes I tried that. It does change the following distance for the adaptive cruise control, and the auto braking works with the cc

Are we talking 2025? What book?

a green car symbol will turn amber
I have the lane assist turned on, but I'm not sure if that matters. I know that turns amber and the car only appears when a car is in front. In that case, it does turn amber but that is when LKA is off.
I know that is confusing.
Let me try saying it a different way.
Whether the car appears or not depends on sensing the car in front. Amber is based on the criteria for successful LKA.

Yes it’s a 2025. The “book” is a small guide called: Getting to know your 2025 Equinox. On page 17 under Driver Assistance Systems / Fwd Collision Alert it says the Vehicle Ahead Indicator will turn from green to amber when following too closely. So I need to turn off LKA for that feature to work?

You're probably not a tailgater.
On my 2018 I have 3 different settings I can pick on how close I get before I get a amber light.
It's very rare that I get a amber light.

I traded in a 2021 Equinox and I would routinly get alerts/red lights when approaching a car in front without the brakes on. This 2025 is not doing either + it’s supposed to apply brakes as well….has not done either in 2700 miles.

I have had the "red light/seat vibrate". All I remember is the car appearing for the cruise control.
Funning thing, I shared this somewhere else, my sister-in-law was standing behind the car backing me up, and I saw her. The car locked up its brakes and would not move till I did something like press and hold the brake. Now that I say, there are some settings where I could have changed it. Maybe others affect what you are talking about. We have a flower pot just outside the garage door, and we get the seat alert every time we back out. :)

As far as I know, every feature is turned on in the settings menu. I also tried turning off the lane assist feature…. No help
