Drowsiness Alerts
Depending on the drowsiness level, Driver
Attention Assist will display escalating alerts
in the instrument cluster. These alerts
progress as the drowsiness level increases.
Each level is designated by a coffee cup and
a DIC message recommending that the
driver consider taking a rest break.
Depending on the driver’s drowsiness level,
the system will also send chimes or haptic
alerts, if equipped with Safety Alert Seat.
The higher alerts will be seen more
frequently. Not all alerts may occur during a
drowsy event.
When the maximum drowsiness alert occurs,
the driver will be presented with the
following options on the infotainment
screen:
.Phone a Friend
.Place an OnStar call
.Navigate to Nearest Point of Interest (POI)
Select an option from the list and follow the
instructions displayed on infotainment
screen.
Attention Alerts
Depending on the attention level, Driver
Attention Assist will display escalating alerts
in the instrument cluster that advance from
level one to level two as the attention level
decreases. Depending on the driver’s
distraction level, the system will also send
chimes or haptic alerts, if equipped with
Safety Alert Seat. See Driver Attention Assist
Light 0122.
When Teen Driver is Active, the radio will
momentarily be set to mute when alert
level two is active. See Teen Driver0168.
Cleaning the Camera
The camera lens cover on the steering
column may become dirty over time. If this
occurs, clean the lens cover with a soft cloth
sprayed with glass cleaner. Wipe the lens
gently, then dry it. Never use abrasive
cloths, cleaners, or corrosive chemicals of
any kind on the lens cover.
Limitations
Some factors can impact the performance of
the Driver Attention Assist feature, causing
it to not to function as intended. These
include (but are not limited to):
.Damage to the Driver Monitoring System,
camera, or lens.
.The camera being blocked by the steering
wheel, hands, or objects.
If there is a problem with the system, a DIC
message or icon in the instrument cluster
may display.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due
to unintentional lane departures. This
system uses a camera to detect lane
markings. The LKA system can be ready to
assist at speeds between approximately
60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph).
On some vehicles, the system will instead
operate above 50 km/h (31 mph). LKA may
assist by gently turning the steering wheel
if the vehicle approaches a detected lane
marking. It may also provide a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert if the vehicle
unintentionally crosses a detected lane
marking.

Chevrolet Silverado EV Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada-
16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
Driving and Operating 275
The LKA system is not intended to keep the
vehicle centered in the lane. LKA will not
assist or alert if the turn signal is active,
or if it detects that you are accelerating,
braking, or actively steering. LKA can be
overridden by turning the steering wheel.
If the system detects you are steering
intentionally across a lane marker, the LDW
alert may not be given. Do not expect the
LDW alert to occur when you are
intentionally crossing the lane marker.
{Warning
The LKA system does not continuously
steer the vehicle. It may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give a Lane
Departure Warning (LDW) alert, even if a
lane marking is detected.
The LKA and LDW systems may not:
.Provide an alert or enough steering
assist to avoid a lane departure or
crash.
.Detect lane markings under poor
weather or visibility conditions. This
can occur if the windshield or
headlamps are blocked by dirt, snow,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
or ice; if they are not in proper
condition; or if the sun shines directly
into the camera.
.Detect road edges.
.Detect lanes on winding or hilly roads.
If LKA only detects lane markings on one
side of the road, it will only assist or
provide an LDW alert when approaching
the lane on the side where it has
detected a lane marking. Even with LKA
and LDW, you must steer the vehicle.
Always keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle position
within the lane, or vehicle damage,
injury, or death could occur. Always keep
the windshield, headlamps, and camera
sensors clean and in good repair. Do not
use LKA in bad weather conditions or on
roads with unclear lane markings, such as
construction zones.
{Warning
Using LKA on slippery roads could cause
loss of control of the vehicle and a crash.
Turn the system off.
{Warning
LKA will not alert the driver if a towed
trailer crosses into an adjacent lane of
travel. Serious injury or property damage
may occur if the trailer moves into
another lane. Always monitor the trailer
position 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 an
LDW when intentionally steering across a
lane marker.

To turn LKA on and off, pressAon the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
wheel. If equipped, the indicator light on the
button comes on when LKA is on and turns
off when LKA is disabled. In some vehicles,
you must press the button for more than
three seconds to turn LKA off.
LKA is not available when Terrain Mode,
Snow/Ice Mode, or Off-Road Mode is
selected.
See Driver Mode Control 0209. See
Four-Wheel Steering 0210.
When attempting to enable LKA in any of
the above conditions, LKA UNAVAILABLE will
display.
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
Aamber 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.

Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR-RR)
The GAWR-RR is the total weight that can be
supported by the rear axle of the vehicle. Do
not exceed the GAWR-RR for the vehicle,
with the tow vehicle and trailer fully loaded
for the trip including the weight of the
trailer tongue. If using a weight-distributing
hitch, do not exceed the GAWR-RR before
applying the weight distribution spring bars.
The GAWR-RR for the vehicle is on the
Trailering Information Label.
For additional assistance with trailering or
additional information, see your dealer.
Towing Equipment
Hitches
{Warning
In order to avoid serious injury or
property damage, always follow the hitch
manufacturer's instructions when securing
your draw bar/coupling device to the
vehicle's hitch receiver.
Ensure that the draw bar/coupling device
is secured with a locking retainer pin or
other means such that rotation of the pin
or locking mechanism will not cause the
pin to back out or loosen during use.
Failure to correctly secure the draw bar/
coupling device to the receiver can result
in separation of the hitch/receiver while
towing.
Conventional Hitch
A conventional hitch is bolted to the frame
or cross member of the tow vehicle, and is
generally rated Class 2, 3, or 4.
Always use the correct hitch equipment for
your vehicle. Crosswinds, large trucks going
by, and rough roads can affect the trailer
and the hitch.Proper hitch equipment for your vehicle
helps maintain control of the vehicle-trailer
combination. Many trailers can be towed
using a weight-carrying hitch with a coupler
latched to the hitch ball, or a tow eye
latched to a pintle hook. Other trailers may
require a weight-distributing hitch that uses
spring bars to distribute the trailer tongue
weight between your vehicle and trailer
axles. See
“Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight
Rating” underTrailer Towing 0297 for
weight limits with various hitch types.
Never attach rental hitches or other
bumper-type hitches. Only use
frame-mounted hitches that do not attach to
the bumper.
Consider using mechanical sway controls
with any trailer. Ask a trailering professional
about sway controls or refer to the trailer
manufacturer's recommendations and
instructions.Weight-Distributing Hitch and
Adjustment
A weight-distributing hitch may be useful
with some trailers. Use the following
guidelines to determine if a
weight-distributing hitch should be used.

Tires
.Do not tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire on the vehicle.
.Tires must be properly inflated to support
loads while towing a trailer. SeeTires
0 344 for instructions on proper tire
inflation.
Safety Chains
Always attach safety chains between the
vehicle and the trailer. Instructions about
safety chains may be provided by the hitch
manufacturer or by the trailer manufacturer.
If the trailer being towed weighs up to
2 271 kg (5,000 lb) with a factory-installed
step bumper, safety chains may be attached to the attaching points on the bumper;
otherwise, safety chains should be attached
to holes on the trailer hitch.
Cross the safety chains under the tongue of
the trailer to help prevent the tongue from
contacting the road if it becomes separated
from the hitch. Always leave just enough
slack so the combination can turn. Never
allow safety chains to drag on the ground.Trailer Brakes
Loaded trailers over 900 kg (2,000 lb) must
be equipped with brake systems and with
brakes for each axle. Trailer braking
equipment conforming to Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) requirement
CAN3-D313, or its equivalent, is
recommended.State or local regulations may require
trailers to have their own braking system if
the loaded weight of the trailer exceeds
certain minimums that can vary from state
to state. Read and follow the instructions for
the trailer brakes so they are installed,
adjusted, and maintained properly.
{Warning
Never attempt to tamper with the
hydraulic brake system for your trailer
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.

306 Driving and Operating
This symbol is on the Trailer Brake Control
Panel on vehicles with an ITBC system. The
power output to the trailer brakes is
proportional to the amount of vehicle
braking. This available power output to the
trailer brakes can be adjusted to a wide
range of trailering situations.
The ITBC system is integrated with the
vehicle brakes, Antilock Brake System (ABS),
and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) systems. In trailering conditions that
cause the vehicle’s anti-lock brake or
StabiliTrak/ESC systems to activate, power
sent to the trailer's brakes will be
automatically adjusted to minimize trailer
wheel lock-up. This does not imply that the
trailer has StabiliTrak/ESC.
If the vehicle brakes, ABS, or StabiliTrak/ESC
systems are not functioning properly, the
ITBC system may not function fully or at all.
Make sure all of these systems are fully
operational to allow the ITBC system to
function properly.
The ITBC system is powered through the
vehicle's electrical system. Turning the
vehicle off will also turn off the ITBC
system. The ITBC system is fully functional
only when the vehicle is in ON/RUN.{Warning
Connecting a trailer that has an air brake
system may result in reduced or
complete loss of trailer braking, including
increased stopping distance or trailer
instability which could result in serious
injury, death, or property damage. Only
use the ITBC system with electric or
electric over hydraulic trailer brake
systems.
