Front Lift System
A two-position lift actuator (one per
damper) with 35 mm (1.5 in) of
stroke will hydraulically raise the
front of the vehicle to provide
approximately 50 mm (2 in) of increased clearance in
approximately three seconds (height
and time will vary by vehicle). The
Front Lift System will allow you to lift
the front of the vehicle to enter a
driveway, driving over curbs, speed
bumps or onto ramps or a trailer.
To use the Front Lift System, press
the button on the center console to
raise or lower the vehicle. This
feature can be operated at speeds
up to 38 km/h (24 mph) when the
engine is running. The system
functions based on the vehicle’
s
state or operating mode: .
The system will not raise up
when the doors are open.
. The system can be raised or
lowered by the pushbutton,
when the vehicle is in RUN or in
ACC mode.
. If the vehicle is in the raised
position and is driven at speeds
above 38 km/h (24 mph), it will
automatically lower.
. If the vehicle is turned off, it will
automatically lower.
. If a vehicle door is opened
during lowering, the movement
will pause for 15 seconds then
continue to lower, but at a
slower rate.
The front height can be raised
automatically using GPS navigation
in the vehicle. The vehicle will
automatically lift in up to 1,000
programmable locations. Once the
button is pushed, a notification will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and ask the driver if
they would like to “Remember”the
location. The driver can select this
function through the steering wheel

These data can help provide a
better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and
injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal
driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash
investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and
access to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access these data or
share it with others except: with the
consent of the vehicle owner or,
if the vehicle is leased, with the
consent of the lessee; in response
to an official request by police or
similar government office; as part of
GM's defense of litigation through
the discovery process; or, as
required by law. Data that GM
collects or receives may also be
used for GM research needs or may
be made available to others for
research purposes, where a need is
shown and the data is not tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner.OnStar
If the vehicle is equipped with
OnStar and has an active service
plan, additional data may be
collected and transmitted through
the OnStar system. This includes
information about the vehicle’s
operation; collisions involving the
vehicle; the use of the vehicle and
its features, including infotainment;
and the location and approximate
GPS speed of the vehicle. Refer to
the OnStar Terms and Conditions
and Privacy Statement on the
OnStar website.

navigation system as part of the
infotainment system, use of the
system may result in the storage of
destinations, addresses, telephone
numbers, and other trip information.

information on stored data and for
deletion instructions.
