270 Driving and Operating
the vehicle do not move
farther back when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Driving With a Trailer
Use caution while backing up
when towing a trailer. The
RCTA feature is automatically
disabled when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Features On
or Off
The
Xbutton on the center
stack is used to turn on or off
the Front and Rear Park
Assist, and Backing Warning
and Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) systems at the
same time. The indicator light
next to the button comes on
when the features are on and
turns off when the features
have been disabled.
RCTA can be turned on or off
using the infotainment system.
To view available settings for
this feature, touch the
Settings icon on the
infotainment home page. Select
“Vehicle” to display the
list of available options and
select “Collision/Detection
Systems”.
Assistance Systems
for Driving
If equipped, when driving the
vehicle in a forward gear,
Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW), Lane Keep Assist
(LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert
(SBZA), Lane Change Alert
(LCA), Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB), and/or the
Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash
damage.
Forward Collision
Alert (FCA) System
The FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm
caused by front-end crashes.
When approaching a vehicle
ahead too quickly, FCA
provides a red flashing alert on the windshield and rapidly
beeps or pulses the driver
seat. FCA also lights an amber
visual alert if following another
vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a
distance of approximately
110 m (360 ft) and operates at
all speeds.
{Warning
FCA is a warning system and
does not apply the brakes.
When approaching a
slower-moving or stopped
vehicle ahead too rapidly,
or when following a vehicle
too closely, FCA may not
provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a
crash. It also may not
provide any warning at all.
FCA does not warn of
pedestrians, animals, signs,
guardrails, bridges,
construction barrels,
or other objects. Be ready to

.Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
.Front Pedestrian
Braking (FPB)
If equipped with Lane Change
Alert (LCA), the LCA detection
zones that extend back from
the side of the vehicle do not
move further back when a
trailer is towed. Use caution
while changing lanes when
towing a trailer.
If equipped with Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA), use
caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend
out from the back of the
vehicle do not move further
back when a trailer is towed.
Towing a trailer requires
experience. The combination
of the vehicle and trailer is
longer and not as responsive
as the vehicle itself. Become
familiar with handling and
braking of the combination by
driving on a level road surface
before driving on public roads. The trailer structure, the tires,
and the brakes must be all be
rated to carry the intended
cargo. Inadequate trailer
equipment can cause the
combination to operate in an
unexpected or unsafe manner.
Before driving, inspect all
trailer hitch parts and
attachments, safety chains,
electrical connectors, lamps,
tires, and mirrors. See Towing
Equipment
0303. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start the
combination moving and then
manually apply the trailer
brake controller to check the
trailer brakes work. During the
trip, occasionally check that
the cargo and trailer are
secure and that the lamps and
any trailer brakes are working.
Towing with a Stability
Control System
When towing, the stability
control system might be
heard. The system reacts to
vehicle movement caused by
the trailer, which mainly occurs during cornering. This is
normal when towing heavier
trailers.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far
behind the vehicle ahead as
you would when driving
without a trailer to help to
avoid heavy braking and
sudden turns.
Passing
More passing distance is
needed when towing a trailer.
The combination of the vehicle
and trailer will not accelerate
as quickly and is much longer
than the vehicle alone. It is
necessary to go much farther
beyond the passed vehicle
before returning to the lane.
Pass on level roadways. Avoid
passing on hills if possible.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the
steering wheel with one hand.
To move the trailer to the left,
move that hand to the left. To

Caution (Continued)
with drive axle tires on the
ground. Damage is not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with an electric parking
brake and/or an electronic
shifter. In the event of a loss
of 12-volt battery power, the
electric parking brake
cannot be released, and the
vehicle cannot be shifted to
N (Neutral). Tire skates or
dollies must be used under
the non-rolling tires to
prevent damage while
loading/unloading the
vehicle. Dragging the vehicle
will cause damage not
covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
The vehicle may be equipped
with a tow eye. Improper use
of the tow eye may cause
damage to the vehicle and is
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. If equipped, use
the tow eye to load the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck from a flat road
surface, or to move the
vehicle a very short distance
at a walking pace. The tow
eye is not designed for
off-road recovery. The
vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) with the electric
parking brake released when
using the tow eye.
Contact a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle
must be transported. GM
recommends a flatbed tow
truck to transport a disabled
vehicle. Use ramps to help
reduce approach angles,
if necessary. If equipped, a tow eye may be
located near the spare tire or
emergency jack. Do not use
the tow eye to pull the vehicle
from the snow, mud, sand,
or ditch. Tow eye threads may
have right or left-hand
threads. Use caution when
installing or removing the
tow eye.
The vehicle must be in
N (Neutral) and the electric
parking brake must be
released when loading the
vehicle onto a flatbed tow
truck.
.If the vehicle is equipped
with car wash mode and has
12-volt battery power, refer
to
“Car Wash Mode” under
Electric Drive Unit 0211 to
place the vehicle in
N (Neutral).
.If the 12-volt battery is dead
and/or the vehicle will not
start, the vehicle will not
move. Try to jump start the

Scheduling Service
Appointments
When the vehicle requires
warranty service, contact your
dealer and request an
appointment. By scheduling a
service appointment and
advising the service
consultant of your
transportation needs, your
dealer can help minimize your
inconvenience.
If the vehicle cannot be
scheduled into the service
department immediately, keep
driving it until it can be
scheduled for service, unless,
of course, the problem is
safety related. If it is, please
call your dealership, let them
know this, and ask for
instructions.
If your dealer requests you to
bring the vehicle for service,
you are urged to do so as

Customer Information 393
Aftermarket parts are not
covered by the GM New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, and
any vehicle failure related to
such parts is not covered by
that warranty.
Repair Facility
GM also recommends that you
choose a collision repair
facility that meets your needs
before you ever need collision
repairs. Your dealer may have
a collision repair center with
GM-trained technicians and
state-of-the-art equipment,
or be able to recommend a
collision repair center that has
GM-trained technicians and
comparable equipment.
Insuring the Vehicle
Protect your investment in the
GM vehicle with
comprehensive and collision
insurance coverage. There are
significant differences in the
quality of coverage afforded
by various insurance policy
terms. Many insurance policiesprovide reduced protection to
the GM vehicle by limiting
compensation for damage
repairs by using aftermarket
collision parts. Some insurance
companies will not specify
aftermarket collision parts.
When purchasing insurance,
we recommend that you
ensure that the vehicle will be
repaired with GM original
equipment collision parts.
If such insurance coverage is
not available from your
current insurance carrier,
consider switching to another
insurance carrier.
If the vehicle is leased, the
leasing company may require
you to have insurance that
ensures repairs with Genuine
GM Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) parts or
Genuine Manufacturer
replacement parts. Read the
lease carefully, as you may be
charged at the end of the
lease for poor quality repairs.
If a Crash Occurs
If there has been an injury, call
emergency services for help.
Do not leave the scene of a
crash until all matters have
been taken care of. Move the
vehicle only if its position puts
you in danger, or you are
instructed to move it by a
police officer.
Give only the necessary
information to police and other
parties involved in the crash.
For emergency towing see
Roadside Service
0388.

information:
.Driver name, address, and
telephone number
.Driver license number
.Owner name, address, and
telephone number
.Vehicle license plate number
