lit white. When ACC is
engaged, the indicator will turn
green.
Be mindful of speed limits,
surrounding traffic speeds,
and weather conditions when
selecting the set speed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If ACC is set at a desired
speed and then the brakes are
applied, ACC is disengaged
without erasing the set speed
from memory.
To begin using ACC again,
press RES+ up briefly while
moving more than 5 km/h
(3 mph). The vehicle returns to
the previous set speed.
If the vehicle is stopped with
the brake pedal applied, press
RES+ and release the brake
pedal. ACC will hold the vehicle
until RES+ or the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
A green ACC indicator and the
set speed display on the
instrument cluster. The vehicle
ahead indicator may beflashing if a vehicle ahead was
present and moved. See
“Approaching and Following a
Vehicle”
later in this section.
Once ACC has resumed,
if there is no vehicle ahead,
if the vehicle ahead is beyond
the selected following gap,
or if the vehicle has exited a
sharp curve, then the vehicle
speed will increase to the set
speed.
Increasing Speed While ACC
is at a Set Speed
If ACC is already activated, do
one of the following:
.Use the accelerator to get
to the higher speed. Press
SET– . Release the control
and the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will now cruise at
the higher speed.
When the accelerator pedal
is pressed, ACC will not
brake because it is
overridden. The ACC indicator turns blue on the
instrument cluster and
head-up display, if equipped.
.Press and hold RES+ until
the desired set speed
appears on the display, then
release it.
.To increase speed in small
increments, press RES+ to
the first detent. For each
press, the vehicle goes
1 km/h (1 mph).
.To increase speed in larger
increments, press RES+ to
the second detent. For each
press, the vehicle speed
increases to the next 5 km/h
(5 mph) mark on the
speedometer.
The set speed can also be
increased while the vehicle is
stopped.
.If stopped with the brake
applied, press RES+ until the
desired set speed is
displayed.

{Warning
Leaving the vehicle without
placing it in P (Park) can be
dangerous. Do not leave the
vehicle while it is being held
at a stop by ACC. Always
place the vehicle in P (Park)
and turn off the ignition
before leaving the vehicle.
ACC Override
If using the accelerator pedal
while ACC is active, the ACC
indicator turns blue on the
instrument cluster and in the
HUD (if equipped) indicating
ACC braking will not occur.
ACC will resume operation
when the accelerator pedal is
not being pressed.
{Warning
The ACC will not
automatically apply the
brakes if your foot is resting (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
on the accelerator pedal.
You could crash into a
vehicle ahead of you.
Curves in the Road
{Warning
On curves, ACC may not
detect a vehicle ahead in
your lane. You could be
startled if the vehicle
accelerates up to the set
speed, especially when
following a vehicle exiting or
entering exit ramps. You
could lose control of the
vehicle or crash. Do not use
ACC while driving on an
entrance or exit ramp.
Always be ready to use the
brakes if necessary.
{Warning
On curves, ACC may
respond to a vehicle in
another lane, or may not
have time to react to a
vehicle in your lane. You
could crash into a vehicle
ahead of you, or lose control
of your vehicle. Give extra
attention in curves and be
ready to use the brakes if
necessary. Select an
appropriate speed while
driving in curves.
ACC may operate differently
in a sharp curve. It may reduce
the vehicle speed if the curve
is too sharp.
ACC automatically slows the
vehicle down while navigating
the curve and may increase
speed out of the curve, but will
not exceed the set speed.

brakes. Do not connect a
trailer's hydraulic brake
system directly to your
vehicle's hydraulic brake
system. If you do, both the
vehicle antilock brakes and
the trailer brakes may not
function, which could result
in a crash.
Trailer Wiring
The trailer wiring harness (if
equipped), with a seven-pin
connector is located at the
rear of the vehicle, and it is
tied to the vehicle's frame.
If the vehicle is not equipped
with a seven-pin trailer
connector, the body harness
has provisions to connect a
trailer harness and a seven-pin
trailer connector which is
available through your dealer.
Use only a round, seven-wire
connector with flat blade
terminals meeting SAE J2863
specifications for proper
electrical connectivity.
The seven-wire harness
contains the following trailer
circuits:Stop/Turn

Refer to the aftermarket

owner's manual to determine
wire color coding of the
electric trailer brake controller.
The wire colors on the brake
controller may be different
from the vehicle. The electric
trailer brake controller should
be installed by your dealer or a
qualified service center.
If equipped, there are four
blunt cut wires inside the front
driver side instrument panel.
It will be necessary to have a technician connect the 12-volt
power to the engine
compartment fuse block.
Trailer Lamps
Always check that all trailer
lamps are working at the
beginning of each trip, and
periodically on longer trips.
Turn Signals When
Towing a Trailer
When properly connected, the
trailer turn signals will
illuminate to indicate the
vehicle is turning, changing
lanes, or stopping. When
towing a trailer, the arrows on
the instrument cluster will
illuminate even if the trailer is
not properly connected or the
bulbs are burned out.
Trailer Sway
Control (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) have a Trailer Sway
Control (TSC) feature. Trailersway is unintended
side-to-side motion of a trailer
while towing. If the vehicle is
towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is
increasing, the vehicle brakes
are selectively applied at each
wheel, to help reduce
excessive trailer sway.
If equipped with the
Integrated Trailer Brake
Control (ITBC) system, and the
trailer has an electric brake
system, StabiliTrak/ESC may
also apply the trailer brakes.
If TSC is enabled, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak/ESC warning light
will flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed
by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator.
If trailer sway continues,

protection of vehicle
electronics systems and
customer data from
unauthorized outside
electronic access or control is
important to GM. GM
maintains appropriate security
standards, practices,
guidelines and controls aimed
at defending the vehicle and
the vehicle service ecosystem
against unauthorized
electronic access, detecting
possible malicious activity in
related networks, and
responding to suspected
cybersecurity incidents in a
timely, coordinated and

incidents could impact your

Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with
an Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is
to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such
as an air bag deployment or
hitting a road obstacle, data
that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data
related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically
30 seconds or less. The EDR in
this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
.How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
.Whether or not the driver
and passenger safety belts
were buckled/fastened;
.How far (if at all) the driver
was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
.How fast the vehicle was
traveling.
These data can help provide a
better understanding of the
circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
Note
EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data
are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving
conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are
recorded. However, other
parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of
