Some signs of distress? What was the purpose of approaching it if only to immediately back away? It turns to look at her, and decides that some de-escalation is in order, using what John had taught it prior to its abduction.

And if someone seems upset, you say, "Chill out!". Or you can do combinations.

"Chill out. Baby." Given the connotations of "Dickwad", the T-800 judges that particular turn of phrase would be ill-advised, and that what it takes to be a term of endearment stands a greater chance of defusing the situation. Its utterly emotionless delivery and lack of any kind of expression as it does so clearly don't factor in.
