Adaptive Cruise Control might detect a vehicle that is
not in your lane and apply the brakes.
Adaptive Cruise Control might occasionally provide a
driver alert and/or braking that you consider unnecessary.
It could respond to signs, guardrails, and other stationary
objects when entering or exiting a curve. This is normal
operation. Your vehicle does not need service.
Highway Exit Ramps
{CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control may lose track of the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to your set speed
while entering or on highway exit ramps. You could
be startled by this acceleration and even lose
control of the vehicle. Disengage Adaptive Cruise
Control before entering a highway exit ramp. Do not
use Adaptive Cruise Control while entering or on
exit ramps.
Other Vehicle Lane Changes
If another vehicle enters the same lane as you,
Adaptive Cruise Control will not detect the vehicle
until it is completely in the lane. Be ready to take
action and apply the brakes yourself.

STABILITY COMPETITIVE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the Active
Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option, this message
displays when the Competitive Mode for stability control
has been turned on using the TC (traction control) button.
SeeEnhanced StabiliTrak
®on page 4-6for more
information. When the Enhanced StabiliTrak Competitive
Mode has been activated, traction control operates in
competitive mode and cannot be turned off. Also, the
Active Steering and the Magnetic Ride Control systems
operate in the Performance Mode. For more information,
see “Active Steering and Magnetic Ride Control” in the
Index in the Navigation manual.
STABILITY SECURE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the Active
Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option, this message
displays when the stability control system is in the
secure mode. Stability Secure Mode is set automatically
when certain system faults or vehicle conditions are
detected. When the Stability Secure Mode is activated,
the stability control system will not respond to driver
requests to change the stability mode until the next
ignition cycle or until the vehicle condition or fault
is returned to normal. SeeEnhanced StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-6for more information.
STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE
This message displays any time the StabiliTrak system
or Enhanced StabiliTrak system is actively assisting
with directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road
conditions may exist when this message is displayed,
so adjust your driving accordingly. This message
may stay on for a few seconds after StabiliTrak
stops assisting with directional control of the vehicle.
SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 4-6orEnhanced
StabiliTrak®on page 4-6for more information.
STABILITY SYS (System) NOT READY
This message displays if the StabiliTrak system is
not ready. Two conditions may cause this message
to display:
The vehicle needs to be driven in a straight line
until the sensors are centered. Once the sensors
are centered, the StabiliTrak system is ready
and the STABILITY SYS READY message displays.
The system needs to warm up. This may occur
when rst starting your vehicle and driving away
during cold winter weather. This is normal.
To acknowledge this message, press the
reset button.
The StabiliTrak performance is affected until the
STABILITY SYS READY message is displayed in the
DIC. SeeStabiliTrak

Navigation/Radio System
For vehicles with a navigation radio system, see the
separate Navigation System manual.
Bluetooth®
For vehicles with a Navigation System and Bluetooth,
see the Navigation System manual for information about
how to use the Bluetooth system.
For vehicles without a Navigation System, the Bluetooth
system can use a Bluetooth capable cell phone with a
Hands Free Pro le to make and receive phone calls.
The system can be used while the key is in ON/RUN or
ACC/ACCESSORY position. The range of the Bluetooth
system can be up to 30 ft. (9.1 m). Not all phones support
all functions, and not all phones are guaranteed to work
with the in-vehicle Bluetooth system. See gm.com/
bluetooth for more information on compatible phones.
Voice Recognition
The Bluetooth system uses voice recognition to interpret
voice commands to dial phone numbers and name tags.
Noise:Keep interior noise levels to a minimum.
The system may not recognize voice commands
if there is too much background noise.
When to Speak:A short tone sounds after the system
responds indicating when it is waiting for a voice
command. Wait until the tone and then speak.
How to Speak:Speak clearly in a calm and natural
voice.
Audio System
When using the in-vehicle Bluetooth system, sound
comes through the vehicle’s front audio system speakers
and over-rides the audio system. Use the audio system
volume knob, during a call, to change the volume level.
The adjusted volume level remains in memory for later
calls. To prevent missed calls, a minimum volume level
is used if the volume is turned down too low.
