Chevrolet Traverse Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
9159264) - 2016 - crc - 8/17/15
244 Driving and Operating
Vehicles with RVC on the
Infotainment System
The RVC system is designed to
help the driver when backing up by
displaying a view of the area behind
the vehicle. When the driver shifts
the vehicle into R (Reverse), the
video image automatically appears
on the infotainment screen. Once
the driver shifts out of R (Reverse),
the screen will go back to the last
screen that had been displayed,
after a delay.
The RVC display remains on after
shifting out of R (Reverse) for
approximately 10 seconds. Return to
the previous screen sooner by
performing one of the following:
.Press a hard key on the
infotainment system.
. Shift into P (Park).
. Reach a vehicle speed of
8 km/h (5 mph).
Symbols and Guidelines
The RVC system may have a
feature that lets the driver view
caution symbols on the RVC screen while using the RVC. The Rear
Parking Assist (RPA) system must
not be disabled to use these
symbols. See
Parking Assist 0246ii.
The caution symbols appear when
an object has been detected by the
RPA system. The symbol may cover
the object when viewing the RVC
screen.
The RVC system may have a
guideline overlay that can help the
driver align the vehicle when
backing into a parking spot.
To turn the symbols and guidelines
on or off: 1. Shift into P (Park).
2. Press Settings on the Home screen of the infotainment
system.
3. Select Display and then Rear Camera.
4. Select Symbols or Guidelines. When a checkmark appears
next to the item, it is on. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with RCTA, a red
warning triangle with an arrow may
also display on the RVC screen to
warn of traffic coming from either
direction, behind the vehicle. When
an object is detected, three beeps
sound on the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the
detected vehicle. This system
detects objects coming from up to
20 m (65 ft) from the left or right side
behind the vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
The RCTA system can be disabled
through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See

Customer Information
Customer Satisfaction
Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are
important to your dealer and to
Chevrolet. Normally, any concerns
with the sales transaction or the
operation of the vehicle will be
resolved by your dealer's sales or
service departments. Sometimes,
however, despite the best intentions
of all concerned, misunderstandings
can occur. If your concern has not
been resolved to your satisfaction,
the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE : Discuss your concern
with a member of dealership
management. Normally, concerns
can be quickly resolved at that level.
If the matter has already been
reviewed with the sales, service,
or parts manager, contact the owner
of your dealership or the general
manager.
STEP TWO : If after contacting a
member of dealership management,
it appears your concern cannot be
