especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service provides digital radio
reception. Tall buildings or hills can
interfere with satellite radio signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or standing
under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,
or tunnels may cause loss of the
SiriusXM signal for a period of time.
Some cellular services may interfere
with SXM reception causing loss of
signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as making
or receiving calls, charging, or just
having the mobile device on may
cause static interference in the radio.
Unplug the mobile device or turn it
off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The roof antenna may be used for
radio, navigation, and OnStar,
depending on the equipped options.
Keep clear of obstructions for clear
reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof,
and it is open, reception can also be
affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted Media
Devices
When using media devices such as SD
cards, USB devices, and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect systemoperation or performance. Avoid use if
the content or origin cannot be
trusted.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device may be
listened to.
The vehicle may be equipped with two
USB ports in the center console under
the armrest and another two on the
center stack. These ports are for data
and charging. There may also be two
USB ports at the rear of the center
console and a USB port on each side
of the third row seats for
charging only.
Caution
To avoid vehicle damage, unplug all
accessories and disconnect all
accessory cables from the vehicle
when not in use. Accessory cables
left plugged into the vehicle,
unconnected to a device, could be
damaged or cause an electrical
short if the unconnected end comes

floor can be tossed about when
driving over rough terrain. You or
your passengers can be struck by
flying objects. Secure the cargo
properly.
.Keep cargo in the cargo area as
far forward and as low as
possible. The heaviest things
should be on the floor, forward
of the rear axle.
.Heavy loads on the roof raise the
vehicle's center of gravity,
making it more likely to roll over.
You can be seriously or fatally(Continued)

Ride Height Descriptions
Normal Height
Normal Height is the standard vehicle
height used for everyday driving.
Entry/Exit Height
Entry/Exit Height is 50 mm (2 in)
lower than Normal Height. This ride
height lowers the vehicle for easy
entry and exit from the vehicle as well
as providing a lower height for loading
and unloading cargo from any door or
the rear liftgate.
This ride height can be selected in the
Ride Height Menu at any vehicle
speed. When Entry/Exit Height is
select at higher speeds, the vehicle
will wait to lower until the vehicle
slows to less than 12 km/h (7 mph).
The vehicle will automatically raise to
Normal Height from Entry/Exit Height
when speed increases above 8 km/h
(5 mph). If no door has been opened
since lowering to Entry/Exit Height,
the vehicle will wait to raise to
Normal Height until 30 km/h
(19 mph). This gives the driver more flexibility when lowering to Entry/Exit
Height for passenger pick up and
drop off.
The driver can enable Automatic
Entry/Egress Mode to automatically
lower to Entry/Exit Height when the
vehicle is shifted to P (PARK).
Automatic Entry/Egress Mode may be
enabled via the infotainment screen
under Settings/Vehicle/Ride Height.
When the vehicle is higher than
Normal Height, Automatic Entry/
Egress Mode is disabled. When the
vehicle is in Tow/Haul Driver Mode,
Off-Road Driver Mode, or it senses a
trailer is connected, Automatic Entry/
Egress Mode is disabled.
Increased Height
Increased Height is 25 mm (1 in)
higher than Normal Height. This ride
height raises the vehicle for off-road
use, allows for higher speeds than
Maximum Height, and is only
available with specific optional
content.
Increased Height can be selected in
the Ride Height Menu while vehicle
speed is less than 80 km/h (50 mph).
