Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from
being drained if the interior courtesy lamps
or reading lamps are accidentally left on.
If any of these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and then re-opened.
Battery Saver
The vehicle is equipped with electrical power
management (EPM). EPM monitors and
controls the charging system. The message
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when the
EPM detects the battery may be draining
too quickly, the charge state needs to be
reset, or the Auxiliary Power Module failed.
If safe to do so, when BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE displays, manually shut off
windshield wipers, communications
equipment, climate controls, etc. to slow the
battery from draining. See Automatic
Climate Control System 0144. If the message still displays, fully charge the
vehicle. Once fully charged, unplug the
vehicle and let the vehicle sit an additional
8.5 hours or greater without being
interrupted to allow the Body Control
Module (BCM) to reset the battery to the
required state of charge.
The following may interrupt the vehicle:
.Charging the vehicle
.Battery Maintenance Mode
.Approach Detection is activated
.The remote key is left in the car or left in
close proximity of the vehicle
.Pressing buttons on the remote key
.Opening the doors or tailgate
To reduce the occurrence of this alert, GM
recommends letting the vehicle sit
uninterrupted for 8.5 hours or greater on a
weekly basis.
If after completing this process the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE message remains, see your
dealer for service.

system is turned off, a system off message
is shown on the display. This message
disappears after a short period of time.
Turn off Park Assist when towing a trailer to
prevent unwanted beeps and when a bike
rack is attached to ensure proper operation.
When the System Does Not Seem to Work
Properly
If a service message displays, check the
following conditions:
.The sensors may not be clean. Keep the
vehicle's front and rear bumpers free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. For
cleaning instructions, seeExterior Care
0 262.
.The Park Assist sensors may be covered
by frost or ice. Frost or ice can form
around and behind the sensors and may
not always be seen; this can occur after
washing the vehicle in cold weather. The
message may not clear until the frost or
ice has melted.
If a service message displays and the above
conditions do not exist, take the vehicle to
your dealer for repairs. If the Park Assist System does not activate
due to a temporary condition, a system off
message is shown on the display. This can
occur under the following conditions:
.The driver has disabled the system.
.An object is currently blocking the rear
sensors (for example, bike rack, tailgate,
trailer hitch, etc.). Once the object is
removed, Park Assist will return to normal
operation.
.The bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle
to your dealer for repairs.
.Other conditions, such as vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air
brakes on a very large truck, are affecting
system performance.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays a red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the
left or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an object
is detected, three beeps sound from the left
or right, depending on the direction of the
detected vehicle.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 farther back when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Turning the Features On or Off
Turn off RCTA when towing a trailer.
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”.

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.
