traffic behind your vehicle that may
cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound.
See“Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA)” underRear Vision Camera
(RVC) 0212.
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) and uses
audible beeps to provide distance
and system information.
Keep the sensors on the vehicle's
rear bumper clean to ensure proper
operation.
See Parking Assist 0215.
Power Outlets
Power Outlet 110/120 Volt
Alternating Current
If equipped, this power outlet is on
the rear of the center console. It can
be used to plug in electrical
equipment that uses a maximum
limit of 150 watts.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is on
and equipment requiring less than
150 watts is plugged into the outlet,
and no system fault is detected. The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is off or if the
equipment is not fully seated into
the outlet.
See
Power Outlets 0111.
Sunroof
If equipped, the sunroof only
operates when the ignition is on or
when Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0195.

Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking Assist
(RPA) system, it assists the driver
with parking and avoiding objects
while in R (Reverse). RPA operates
at speeds less than 11 km/h
(7 mph), and the sensors on the rear
bumper detect objects up to 1.5 m
(6 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least
30 cm (12 in) off the ground. The
distance objects can be detected
may be less during warmer or humid
weather.
{Warning
The parking assist system does
not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
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 backing.
How the System Works
RPA comes on automatically when
the shift lever is moved into
R (Reverse).
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
40 cm (16 in) the beeping is a
continuous tone for five seconds.
Turning the System On and Off
The RPA system can be turned on
and off using the infotainment
system controls. SeeVehicle
Personalization 0134.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
This light may come on for the
following reasons:
.
The sensors are not clean. Keep
the vehicle's rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush.
For cleaning instructions, see
Exterior Care 0301.
. The parking assist sensors are
covered by frost or ice. Frost or
ice can form around and behind
the sensors and may not always
be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold
weather. The light may not clear
until the frost or ice has melted.
. An object was hanging out of the
liftgate during the last drive
cycle. Once the object is
removed, RPA will return to
normal operation.
. The bumper is damaged. Take
the vehicle to your dealer to
repair the system.
. Other conditions, such as
vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on
a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.

installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for
service.
. Replacement tires or wheels do
not match the original equipment
tires or wheels. Tires and wheels
other than those recommended
could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See Buying
New Tires 0282.
. Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tire pressure condition. See
your dealer for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC message,
if equipped, come on and stay on.
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:
driver side front tire, passenger side
front tire, passenger side rear tire,
and driver side rear. 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. Turn the ignition on without starting the vehicle or place the
vehicle in Service Mode.
See Ignition Positions (Key
Access) 0190 orIgnition
Positions (Keyless Access)
0 188.
3. Use the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information Menu
(Menu 2) in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
0127.
4. Use the thumbwheel (or up and down arrows) 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.
