Engine Drag Control (EDC)
EDC improves vehicle stability by
sensing if there is a difference in
speed between the free rolling front
wheels and the rear drive wheels
that often occurs when the driver
takes their foot off the accelerator
pedal on slippery surfaces (snow,
ice, etc.). When this is detected,
EDC sends more torque to the rear
wheels to make sure all four wheels
are spinning at similar speeds,
making the vehicle more stable.
Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control adds a sportier
feel, provide a more comfortable
ride, or assist in different weather conditions or terrain. This system
simultaneously changes the
software calibration of various
sub-systems to optimize driving
performance. Depending on the
option package, available features,
and mode selected, the exhaust,
suspension, steering, and
powertrain will change calibrations
to achieve the desired mode
characteristics. If the vehicle is
equipped with Magnetic Ride
Control, selecting the various Driver
Modes adjusts the ride of the
vehicle to enhance the ride
performance for the road conditions
and the selected mode.
While in the Sport and/or Track
Modes, the vehicle monitors driving
behavior and automatically enables
Performance Shift Features in the
automatic transmission when
spirited driving is detected. These
features maintain lower
transmission gears to increase
available engine braking and
improve acceleration response. The
vehicle will exit these features and

return to normal operation after a
short period when no spirited driving
is detected.
Driver Mode Control Switch
The Driver Mode Control has three
or four modes: Tour, Sport, Snow/
Ice, and Track. Press
yorzon
the MODE switch on the center
console to make a mode selection.
Pressing the switch will display the
moding menu in the instrument
cluster with all available ride modes.
Every switch press will select and
activate the next available mode.
When Sport, Snow/Ice, or Track Mode is selected, a unique and
persistent indicator will be displayed
in the instrument cluster.
Tour Mode
Use for normal city and highway
driving to provide a smooth, soft
ride. This setting provides a
balanced setting between comfort
and handling. This is the
standard mode.
Sport Mode
Use where road conditions or
personal preference demand a more
controlled response.
When Sport Mode is selected, the
transmission may downshift to a
lower gear for better performance.
The transmission will continue to
shift automatically but can hold a
lower gear longer than it would in
the Tour Mode based on braking,
throttle input, and vehicle lateral
acceleration. See
Automatic
Transmission 0183. The steering
will change to provide more precise
control. If the vehicle has Magnetic
Ride Control, the suspension will change to provide better cornering
performance. If the vehicle is
equipped with Active Exhaust, the
exhaust valves will open earlier and
more often. Competitive Driving
Mode can be accessed through this
mode by pressing
Yon the
console twice.
This Competitive Driving Mode is
only on SS, 1LE, and ZL1 vehicles.
For example, a vehicle with a
V6 engine and automatic
transmission will have Sport Mode,
but will not be able to access
Competitive Driving Mode.
Snow/Ice Mode
If equipped, use when more traction
is needed during slippery
conditions. The automatic
transmission will upshift normally
when the vehicle is moving. The
acceleration will adjust to help
provide a smoother launch. The
automatic transmission will also shift
differently to assist in maintaining
traction.

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 Park 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
Park Assist, always check the
area around the vehicle and
check all mirrors before moving
forward or backing.The instrument cluster may have a
Park Assist display with bars that
show“distance to object” and object
location information for RPA. As the
object gets closer, more bars light
up and the bars change color from
yellow to amber to red.
When an object is first detected in
the rear, one beep will be heard
from the rear. When an object is
very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the
vehicle rear), five beeps will sound
from the rear.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow 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 of the vehicle. When an
object is detected, three beeps

3. Fill the surge tank top chamberwith the proper mixture to the
bottom of the fill neck. The top
chamber needs to be
completely full. Fill the surge
tank bottom chamber through
the service port to
approximately half.
4. With the coolant surge tank pressure cap off and the surge
tank service port cap open,
start the engine and let it run
until you can feel the upper
radiator hose getting hot.
Watch out for the engine
cooling fan. By this time, the coolant level
inside the coolant surge tank
top chamber may be lower.
If the level is lower, add more
of the proper mixture to the
surge tank top chamber until
the level reaches the bottom of
the fill neck.
5. Replace the surge tank pressure cap tightly and close
the surge tank service port cap.Caution
If the pressure cap is not tightly
installed, coolant loss and engine
damage may occur. Be sure the
cap is properly and tightly
secured.
Check the level in the surge tank
top and bottom chambers when the
cooling system has cooled down.
If the coolant is not at the proper
levels, repeat Steps 1–3 and
reinstall the pressure cap and close
the service port. If the coolant still is not at the proper levels when the
system cools down again, see your
dealer.
Engine Overheating
The vehicle has several indicators
to warn of the engine overheating.
There is an engine coolant
temperature gauge on the
instrument cluster. See
Engine
Coolant Temperature Gauge 0106.
The vehicle may also display a
message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
If the decision is made not to lift the
hood when this warning appears,
get service help right away. See
Roadside Assistance Program
0 328.
If the decision is made to lift the
hood, make sure the vehicle is
parked on a level surface.
Then check to see if the engine
cooling fan is running. If the engine
is overheating, the fan should be
running. If it is not, do not continue
to run the engine. Have the vehicle
serviced.

Vehicle Care 261
Winter Tires
This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tires. Winter
tires are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice-covered
roads. Consider installing winter
tires on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your dealer
for details regarding winter tire
availability and proper tire selection.
Also, seeBuying New Tires 0276.
With winter tires, there may be
decreased dry road traction,
increased road noise, and shorter
tread life. After changing to winter
tires, be alert for changes in vehicle
handling and braking.
If using winter tires:
. Use tires of the same brand and
tread type on all four wheel
positions.
. Use only radial ply tires of the
same size, load range, and
speed rating as the original
equipment tires. Winter tires with the same speed
rating as the original equipment tires
may not be available for H, V, W, Y,
and ZR speed rated tires. If winter
tires with a lower speed rating are
chosen, never exceed the tire's
maximum speed capability.
Run-Flat Tires
This vehicle, when new, may have
had run-flat tires. There is no spare
tire, no tire changing equipment,
and no place to store a tire in the
vehicle.
The vehicle also has a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
that indicates a loss of tire pressure
in any of the tires.
{Warning
If the low tire warning light
displays on the instrument cluster,
the handling capabilities will be
reduced during severe
maneuvers. Driving too fast could
cause loss of control and you or

Warning (Continued)
others could be injured. Do not
drive over 90 km/h (55 mph) when
the low tire warning light is
displayed. Drive cautiously and
check the tire pressures as soon
as possible.
Run-flat tires can be driven on with
no air pressure. There is no need to
stop on the side of the road to
change the tire. Continue driving;
however, do not drive too far or too
fast. Driving on the tire may not be
possible if there is permanent
damage. To prevent permanent
damage, keep speed below 80 km/h
(50 mph). With a light load the
vehicle can be driven up to 100 km
(60 mi); with a moderate load 80 km
(50 mi); and a heavy load 45 km
(25 mi). As soon as possible,
contact the nearest authorized GM
or run-flat servicing facility for
inspection and repair or
replacement.

remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
SeeTire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0270.
See Radio Frequency Statement
0 334.Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tire pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tire
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tires and transmit the tire
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tire pressure warning light
on the instrument cluster. If the
warning light comes on, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the
tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See
Vehicle Load
Limits 0170.
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tire displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The low
tire pressure warning light and the
DIC warning message come on at
each ignition cycle until the tires are
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tire
pressure levels can be viewed. For
additional information and details
about the DIC operation and
displays see Driver Information
Center (DIC) 0117.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information
label, attached to your vehicle,
shows the size of the original
equipment tires and the correct
inflation pressure for the tires when
