air into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.When you enter a vehicle in cold
weather, press the fan up button to the
maximum fan level before driving. This
helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the window.
.Keep the air path under the front seats
clear of objects to help circulate the air
inside of the vehicle more effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect the performance of
the system. Check with your dealer
before adding equipment to the outside

244 Driving and Operating
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
make sure the area underneath the
vehicle and inside the wheel wells is clear
when lowering the vehicle.
{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or death,
always select the lowest ride height for
the current driving conditions. Higher ride
heights raise the vehicle's center of
gravity, increasing the chance of a
rollover during extreme maneuvers.
{Warning
Heavy loads on the roof rack will make
the vehicle's center of gravity higher,
increasing the possibility of a rollover. To
avoid losing control of the vehicle, always
select the normal height setting and
avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp
turns, sudden braking, or abrupt
maneuvers when carrying cargo on the
roof rack.Changing Ride Height
Press either
‘Up’or‘Down’ Ride Height
Button to open the Ride Height menu. Use
these buttons to select the desired ride
height in the menu. After a brief pause, the
menu will timeout and the selection will
finalize. Ride heights that are unavailable for
selection will be greyed out in the menu.
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.
