Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System

a triangle with an arrow displayed
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross
your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound.
SeeAssistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-41
Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking
Assist (RPA) uses sensors on the
rear bumper to assist with parking
and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). It operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA uses
audible beeps to provide distance
and system information.
The vehicle may also be equipped
with Front Parking Assist.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-41.
Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
If equipped, the APA system helps
to search for and maneuver the
vehicle into parallel or perpendicular
parking spots using automatic
steering, DIC displays, and beeps.
When the vehicle speed is below
30 km/h (18 mph), press the APA
button,
O, to enable the system.
See “Automatic Parking Assist
(APA)” underAssistance Systems

the bumpers may detect objects up
to 2.5 m (8 ft) behind and 1.2 m (4 ft)
in front of the vehicle within a zone

turned off. When this occurs, press
the PA button to turn the system
back on.
Detection distances may be shorter
during warmer or humid weather.
Blocked sensors will not detect
objects and can also cause false
detections. Keep the sensors clean
of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush;
and clean sensors after a car wash
in freezing temperatures.
{Warning
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
located below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from the
vehicle. It is not available at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with
parking assist, always check the
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.An obstacle is indicated by audible
beeps. The interval between the
beeps becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than 30
cm (12 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for three seconds.
Beeps for Front Parking Assist are
higher pitched than for Rear Parking
Assist.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow on the RVC screen to
warn of traffic coming from the left
or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right side behind the
vehicle. When an object is detected
beeps sound from the left or right
side, depending on the direction of
the detected vehicle.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
tire/wheel position after rotating the
vehicle’s tires or replacing one or
more of the TPMS sensors. Also,
the TPMS sensor matching process
should be performed after replacing
a spare tire with a road tire
containing the TPMS sensor. The
malfunction light and the DIC
message, if equipped, should go off
at the next ignition cycle. The
sensors are matched to the tire/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order:
left front tire, right front tire, right
rear tire, and left rear tire. See your
dealer for service or to purchase a
relearn tool. A TPMS relearn tool
can also be purchased. See Tire
Pressure Monitor Sensor Activation
Tool at
www.gmtoolsandequipment.com or
call 1-800-GM TOOLS
(1-800-468-6657).There are two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching
process is:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle power mode in
ON/RUN/START. See Ignition
Positions on page 9-16.
3. Use the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information Menu in
the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the Tire Pressure Menu Item
screen.
5. Press and hold the SET/CLR button to begin the sensor
matching process.
A message requesting
acceptance of the process may
display. 6. If requested, press the SET/CLR
button again to confirm the
selection.
The horn sounds twice to signal
the receiver is in relearn mode
and the TIRE LEARN or TIRE
LEARNING ACTIVE message
displays on the DIC screen.
7. Start with the left front tire.
8. Place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve
stem. Then press the button to
activate the TPMS sensor.
A horn chirp confirms that the
sensor identification code has
been matched to this tire and
wheel position.
9. Proceed to the right front tire, and repeat the procedure in
Step 8.
10. Proceed to the right rear tire, and repeat the procedure in
Step 8.
11. Proceed to the left rear tire, and repeat the procedure in
Step 8. The horn sounds two
