apply the brake pedal as
needed.
Tailgating Alert
The vehicle ahead indicator
will display amber when you
are following a vehicle ahead
much too closely.
Selecting the Alert Timing
The Collision Alert control is
on the steering wheel. Press
[to set the FCA timing to
Far, Medium, or Near. The first
button press shows the
current setting on the DIC. Additional button presses will
change this setting. The
chosen setting will remain until
it is changed and will affect
the timing of both the Collision
Alert and the Tailgating Alert
features. The timing of both
alerts will vary based on
vehicle speed. The faster the
vehicle speed, the farther
away the alert will occur.
Consider traffic and weather
conditions when selecting the
alert timing. The range of
selectable alert timings may
not be appropriate for all
drivers and driving conditions.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC),
changing the FCA timing
setting automatically changes
the following gap setting (Far,
Medium, or Near).
Following Distance
Indicator
The following distance to a
moving vehicle ahead in your
path is indicated in following
time in seconds on the DriverInformation Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132. The
minimum following time is
0.5 seconds away. If there is
no vehicle detected ahead,
or the vehicle ahead is out of
sensor range, dashes will be
displayed.
Unnecessary Alerts
FCA may provide unnecessary
alerts for turning vehicles,
vehicles in other lanes, objects
that are not vehicles,
or shadows. These alerts are
normal operation and the
vehicle does not need service.
Cleaning the System
If the FCA system does not
seem to operate properly, this
may correct the issue:
.Clean the outside of the
windshield in front of the
rearview mirror.
.Clean the entire front of the
vehicle.

{Warning
Using the FPB system while
towing a trailer could cause
you to lose control of the
vehicle and crash. Turn the
system to Alert or Off when
towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to
operate properly, cleaning the
outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror
may correct the issue.
Side Blind Zone
Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system
is a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
crashes that occur with
moving vehicles in the side
blind zone, or blind spot areas.
When the vehicle is in a
forward gear, the left or right
side mirror display will light up
if a moving vehicle is detected
in that blind zone. If the turn
signal is activated and a
vehicle is also detected on the
same side, the display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes. Since this
system is part of the Lane
Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section
before using this feature.
Lane Change
Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is
a lane-changing aid that
assists drivers with avoiding
lane change crashes that occur with moving vehicles in
the side blind zone (or spot)
areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning
display will light up in the
corresponding outside mirror
and will flash if the turn signal
is on.
{Warning
LCA does not alert the
driver to vehicles outside of
the system detection zones,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. It may not
provide alerts when
changing lanes under all
driving conditions. Failure to
use proper care when
changing lanes may result in
injury, death, or vehicle
damage. Before making a
lane change, always check
mirrors, glance over your
shoulder, and use the turn
signals.

LCA Detection Zones
1. SBZA Detection Zone
2. LCA Detection Zone
The LCA sensor covers a zone
of approximately one lane over
from both sides of the vehicle,
or 3.5 m (11 ft). The height of
the zone is approximately
between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2 m
(6 ft) off the ground. The Side
Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
warning area starts at
approximately the middle of
the vehicle and goes back 5 m
(16 ft). Drivers are also warned
of vehicles rapidly
approaching from up to 70 m
(230 ft) behind the vehicle.
How the System Works
The LCA symbol lights up in
the outside mirrors when the
system detects a moving
vehicle in the next lane over
that is in the side blind zone or
rapidly approaching that zone
from behind. A lit LCA symbol
indicates it may be unsafe to
change lanes. Before making a
lane change, check the LCA
display, check mirrors, glance
over your shoulder, and use
the turn signals.
Left Outside
Mirror DisplayRight Outside
Mirror Display
When the vehicle is started,
both outside mirror LCA
displays will briefly come on to
indicate the system is
operating. When the vehicle is
in a forward gear, the left or
right outside mirror display will light up if a moving vehicle is
detected in the next lane over
in that blind zone or rapidly
approaching that zone. If the
turn signal is activated in the
same direction as a detected
vehicle, this display will flash
as an extra warning not to
change lanes.
LCA can be disabled. When
you disable LCA, Side Blind
Zone Alert is also disabled. To
view available settings from
the infotainment screen, touch
Settings > Vehicle > Collision/
Detection Systems. If LCA is
disabled by the driver, the LCA
mirror displays will not light up.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The LCA system requires
some driving for the system to
calibrate to maximum
performance. This calibration
may occur more quickly if the
vehicle is driving on a straight

Warning (Continued)
while towing to make sure it
is within the same lane as
the tow vehicle.
How the System Works
LKA uses a camera sensor
installed on the windshield
ahead of the rearview mirror
to detect lane markings. It may
provide brief steering assist if
it detects an unintended lane
departure. It may further
provide an audible alert or the
driver seat may pulse
indicating that a lane marking
has been crossed. The system
does not provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW)
when intentionally steering
across a lane marker.
To turn LKA on and off, press
Aon the center stack.
If equipped, the indicator light
on the button comes on when
LKA is on and turns off when
LKA is disabled. In some vehicles, a long press of over
three seconds is required to
turn LKA off.
When on,
Ais white,
if equipped, indicating that the
system is not ready to assist.
Ais green if LKA is ready to
assist. LKA may assist by
gently turning the steering
wheel if the vehicle
approaches a detected lane
marking.
Ais amber when
assisting. It may also provide a
Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) alert by flashing
A
amber if the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking.
Additionally, there may be
three beeps, or the driver seat
may pulse three times, on the
right or left, depending on the
lane departure direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
If LKA does not detect active
driver steering, an alert and
chime may be provided. Steer the vehicle to dismiss. LKA
may become temporarily
unavailable after repeated
take steering alerts.
When the System Does
Not Seem to Work
Properly
The system performance may
be affected by:
.Close vehicles ahead.
.Sudden lighting changes,
such as when driving
through tunnels.
.Banked roads.
.Roads with poor lane
markings, such as two-lane
roads.
If the LKA system is not
functioning properly when lane
markings are clearly visible,
cleaning the windshield
may help.
A camera blocked message
may display if the camera is
blocked. Some driver
assistance systems may have
reduced performance or not

work at all. An LKA or LDW
unavailable message may
display if the systems are
temporarily unavailable. This
message could be due to a
blocked camera. The LKA
system does not need service.
Clean the outside of the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror.
LKA assistance and/or LDW
alerts may occur due to tar
marks, shadows, cracks in the
road, temporary or
construction lane markings,
or other road imperfections.
This is normal system
operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if
these conditions continue.Fuel
Top Tier Fuel
GM recommends the use of
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
to keep the engine clean,
reduce engine deposits, and
maintain optimal vehicle
performance. Look for the
TOP TIER Logo or see
www.toptiergas.com for a list
of TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline marketers and
applicable countries.
Recommended Fuel
(LSY 2.0L L4 Turbo
Engine)
Premium unleaded gasoline
meeting ASTM specification
D4814 with a posted octane
rating (R+M)/2 of 91 or greater
is recommended. If unavailable,
unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane rating of
87 may be used, but will result
in reduced performance and
driveability. If heavy knocking
is heard when using gasoline
rated at 91 or greater, the
engine needs service.
Do not use any fuel labeled
E85 or FlexFuel. Do not use
gasoline with ethanol levels
greater than 15% by volume.

damaged, and the repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Pull a
trailer only if all the steps in
this section have been
followed. Ask your dealer for
advice and information
about towing a trailer with
the vehicle.
Driving with a Trailer
Trailering is different than just
driving the vehicle by itself.
Trailering means changes in
handling, acceleration, braking,
durability, and fuel economy.
Successful, safe trailering
takes correct equipment, and
it has to be used properly.
The following information has
many time-tested, important
trailering tips and safety rules.
Many of these are important
for your safety and that of
your passengers. Read this
section carefully before pulling
a trailer.When towing a trailer:
.Become familiar with, and
follow all state and local laws
that apply to trailer towing.
These requirements vary
from state to state.
.State laws may require the
use of extended side view
mirrors. If your visibility is
limited or restricted while
towing, install extended side
view mirrors on your vehicle,
even if not required.
.Do not tow a trailer during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
vehicle use to prevent
damage to the engine, axle,
or other parts.
.Perform the first oil change
before heavy towing.
.Do not drive over 800 km/h
(50 mph) and do not make
starts at full throttle during
the first 800 km (500 mi) of
trailer towing.
.Tow in D (Drive). If the
transmission downshifts too
often, a lower gear may be
selected using Manual Mode.
See Manual Mode
(Electronic Shifter)
0281 or
Manual Mode (Mechanical
Shifter) 0280.
If equipped, the following
driver assistance features
should be turned off when
towing a trailer:
.Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC)
.Super Cruise Control
.Park Assist
.Automatic Parking
Assist (APA)
.Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB)

360 Driving and Operating
If equipped, the following
driver assistance features
should be turned to alert or
off when towing a trailer:
.Automatic Emergency
Braking (AEB)
.Intelligent Brake Assist (IBA)
.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.
{Warning
To prevent serious injury or
death from carbon monoxide
(CO), when towing a trailer:
.Do not drive with the
liftgate, trunk/hatch,
or rear-most
window open.
.Fully open the air outlets
on or under the
instrument panel.
.Adjust the climate control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air.
See “Climate Control
Systems” in the Index.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see
Engine Exhaust 0271.
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 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
0365. 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.
