may require hands to be
kept on the steering wheel
at all times. Only remove
your hands from the
steering wheel if Super
Cruise is engaged, it is safe
to do so, and it is permitted
by state and local laws.
{Warning
Failure to supervise the
driving task and to respond
appropriately, even while
Super Cruise is operating,
can cause a crash. Super
Cruise may not respond as
you would to all driving
situations and may not
maintain lane position under
all conditions.
It is extremely important to
pay attention to the
operation of the vehicle,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
even while using Super
Cruise. Do not use a
hand-held device while
driving, even with Super

Super Cruise should not be
used in complex or uncertain
driving conditions, including:
.Not in construction zones.
.Not when approaching or
exiting toll plazas.
.Not when lane markings
are not present or cannot
be detected. For example
there is too much glare,
weather conditions are
poor, or lanes are poorly

short period of driving along
curves to calibrate.
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
Backing Warning and
Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)
If equipped, vehicles with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
have the Backing Warning
System and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. When in R (Reverse), Backing Warning alerts of rear
objects at vehicle speeds
greater than 8 km/h (5 mph),
and RAB may automatically
brake hard at speeds between
1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System
will beep once from the rear
when an object is first
detected, or pulse twice on
both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. When the system
detects a potential crash,
beeps will be heard from the
rear, or five pulses will be felt
on both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat. There may also be
a brief, sharp application of
the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning
System only operates at
speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph). It does not detect
children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
are too close or too far from
the vehicle. In some
situations, such as at higher
backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the
short, sharp application of
the vehicle brake system to
occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage,
even with the Backing
Warning System, always
check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
When the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), if the system
detects the vehicle is backing
too fast to avoid a crash with
a detected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a
stop to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by a backing
crash.

{Warning
To prevent serious injury or
death, always park your
vehicle and trailer on a level
surface when possible.
When parking your vehicle and
your trailer on a hill: 1. Press the brake pedal, but do not shift into P (Park)
yet. Turn the wheels into
the curb if facing downhill
or into traffic if facing
uphill.
2. Have someone place chocks under the trailer
wheels. 3. When the wheel chocks
are in place, gradually
release the brake pedal to
allow the chocks to absorb
the load of the trailer.
4. Reapply the brake pedal. Then apply the parking
brake and shift into
P (Park).
5. Release the brake pedal.
Leaving After Parking on
a Hill
1. Apply and hold the brake pedal.
.Start the engine.
.Shift into the
desired gear.
.Release the parking
brake.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the
chocks.
Maintenance when Trailer
Towing
The vehicle needs service
more often when used to tow
trailers. See Maintenance
Schedule 0471. It is especially
important to check the
automatic transmission fluid,
engine oil, axle lubricant, belts,
cooling system, and brake
system before and during
each trip.
Check periodically that all nuts
and bolts on the trailer hitch
are tight.
Engine Cooling when
Trailer Towing
The cooling system may
temporarily overheat during
severe operating conditions.

"P" as the first character in
the tire size means a
passenger vehicle tire
engineered to standards

:The 3-digit
number indicates the tire
section width in millimeters
from sidewall to sidewall.
(3) Aspect Ratio
:A 2-digit
number that indicates the
tire height-to-width
measurements. For
example, if the tire size aspect ratio is 75, as
shown in item (3) of the
illustration, it would mean
that the tire's sidewall is
75 percent as high as it
is wide.
(4) Construction Code
:A
letter code is used to
indicate the type of ply
construction in the tire. The
letter "R" means radial ply
construction; the letter "D"
means diagonal or bias ply
construction.
(5) Rim Diameter
:
Diameter of the wheel in
inches.
(6) Service Description
:
These characters
represent the load index
and speed rating of the
tire. The load index
represents the load
carrying capacity a tire is
certified to carry. The speed rating is the
maximum speed a tire is
certified to carry a load.
Tire Terminology and
Definitions
Air Pressure:The amount
of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each
square inch of the tire. Air
pressure is expressed
in kPa (kilopascal) or psi
(pounds per square inch).
Aspect Ratio
:The
relationship of a tire's
height to its width.
Belt
:A rubber coated layer
of cords that is located
between the plies and the

Care of Seat Belts
Keep belts clean and dry.
{Warning
Do not bleach or dye seat
belt webbing. It may severely
weaken the webbing. In a
crash, they might not be
able to provide adequate
protection. Clean and rinse
seat belt webbing only with
mild soap and lukewarm
water. Allow the webbing
to dry.
Floor Mats
{Warning
If a floor mat is the wrong
size or is not properly
installed, it can interfere
with the pedals. Interference
with the pedals can cause
unintended acceleration
and/or increased stopping
distance which can cause a(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
crash and injury. Make sure
the floor mat does not
interfere with the pedals.
Use the following guidelines
for proper floor mat use.
.The original equipment floor
mats are designed for your
vehicle. If the floor mats
need to be replaced, it is
recommended that
GM-certified floor mats are
purchased. Non-GM floor
mats may not fit properly
and may interfere with the
pedals. Always check that
the floor mats do not
interfere with the pedals.
.Do not use a floor mat if the
vehicle is not equipped with
a floor mat retainer on the
driver side floor.
.Use the floor mat with the
correct side up. Do not turn
it over.
.Do not place anything on top
of the driver side floor mat.
.Use only a single floor mat
on the driver side.
.Do not place one floor mat
on top of another.
The driver side floor mat is
held in place by two
button-type retainers.
Removing and Replacing
the Floor Mats
