Rear Window Defogger
1REAR :If equipped, press to turn the
rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light on the button comes on to show that
the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger only works when
the vehicle is on. The defogger turns off if
the vehicle is turned off.
If the vehicle is equipped with heated
outside mirrors, they turn on when the rear
window defogger button is on and help to
clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirror. See Heated Mirrors 036.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window can damage
the rear window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not clear the inside rear window with
sharp objects.
Remote Start Climate Control Operation :
If equipped with remote start, the climate
control system may run when the vehicle is
started remotely. If equipped with heated or ventilated seats or a heated steering wheel,
these features may come on during a
remote start. See
Remote Vehicle Start 014,
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats 047, and
Heated Steering Wheel 097.
Sensors
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument
panel near the windshield, monitors the
solar heat.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort. Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the
fan may stay on or may turn on and off
several times after you turn off and lock the
vehicle. This is normal.
ECO Climate
When ECO Climate is on, airflow to
unoccupied rear seats will be reduced for
energy efficiency. To turn ECO Climate off or
on, select Settings > Vehicle > Climate and
Air Quality > ECO Climate.
Air Vents
Use the sliding knobs on the center and side
air vents to change the direction of the

Driving and Operating 185
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:1. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer the
vehicle so that it straddles the edge of
the pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right front
tire contacts the pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are not rolling.
.Steering or Cornering Skid —too much
speed or steering in a curve causes tires
to slip and lose cornering force.
.Acceleration Skid —too much throttle
causes the driving wheels to spin.
Antilock brakes help to avoid only the
braking skid. Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking
reasonable care suited to existing conditions,
and by not exceeding those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to skid, follow these
suggestions:
.Ease your foot off the accelerator pedal
and steer the way you want the vehicle
to go. The vehicle may straighten out,
but if it skids again from oversteer, be
ready to correct another skid if it occurs.
.Slow down and adjust your driving
according to weather conditions. Stopping
distance may be longer and vehicle
control may be affected when traction is
reduced by water, snow, ice, gravel,
or other material on the road. Learn to
recognize warning clues
—such as
enough water, ice, or packed snow on the
road to make a mirrored surface —and
slow down when you have any doubt.
.Try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,
or braking, including reducing vehicle
speed by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause the tires to
slide.
Off-Road Driving
Four-wheel-drive vehicles can be used for
off-road driving. Vehicles without four-wheel
drive and vehicles not equipped with All
Terrain (AT) or On-Off Road (OOR) tires must
not be driven off-road except on a level,
solid surface. For contact information about
the original equipment tires, see the
warranty manual.
One of the best ways for successful off-road
driving is to control the speed.
{Warning
When driving off-road, bouncing and
quick changes in direction can easily
throw you out of position. This could
cause you to lose control and crash. You
and your passengers should always wear
seat belts.
Off-Road Vehicle Features
If equipped, the following off-road features
may be available:
.Four-Wheel Steering: Provides the ability
to steer the vehicle with all four wheels,
reducing the turning diameter and
improving maneuverability of the vehicle.
See Four-Wheel Steering 0210.

16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
192 Driving and Operating
If you stay in your vehicle while waiting,
signal for help and keep everyone in the
vehicle safe by turning on the hazard
warning flashers and tying a red cloth to an
outside mirror.
To conserve battery energy while waiting
for help, run the vehicle for only short
periods as needed to warm the vehicle and
then shut the vehicle off and partially close
the window. Moving about to keep warm
also helps. For additional tips to help
conserve battery energy in cold weather, see
Driving for Better Energy Efficiency0181.
If the Vehicle Is Stuck
Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to
free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud,
ice, or snow. See “Rocking the Vehicle to Get
It Out” later in this section.
The Traction Control/Electronic Stability
Control can often help to free a stuck
vehicle. See Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0207. If TCS/ESC cannot
free the vehicle, see “Rocking the Vehicle to
Get it Out” following.
{Warning
If the vehicle’s tires spin at high speed,
they can explode, and you or others
could be injured. Spin the wheels as little
as possible and avoid going above
56 km/h (35 mph).
For information about using tire chains on
the vehicle, see Tire Chains0361.
Rocking the Vehicle to Get It Out
Turn the steering wheel left and right to
clear the area around the front wheels. Turn
the TCS off. Shift back and forth between
R (Reverse) and a forward gear, spinning the
wheels as little as possible. To prevent
battery wear, wait until the wheels stop
spinning before shifting gears. Slowly
spinning the wheels in the forward and
reverse directions causes a rocking motion
that could free the vehicle. If that does not
get the vehicle out after a few tries, it
might need to be towed out using recovery
hooks if equipped.
Recovery Hooks
If equipped, there are recovery hooks at the
front of the vehicle. Use them if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow to pull
the vehicle back to the road and continue
driving.
{Warning
Never pull on recovery hooks from the
side. The hooks could break and you and
others could be injured. When using
recovery hooks, always pull the vehicle
from the front.
Caution
Never use recovery hooks to tow the
vehicle. The vehicle could be damaged,
and the repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.

Towing with ACC
If equipped when towing a trailer, ACC
driving characteristics such as following gap,
acceleration rates, and braking rates may be
modified to provide a better towing
experience.
When ACC is used with vehicles equipped
with an aftermarket trailer brake controller,
disengage ACC before applying the manual
trailer brake. ACC will not automatically
disengage when the manual trailer brake is
applied.
ACC may be used when towing a trailer if
the trailer is within the GM-approved
allowable size and weight limits. SeeTrailer
Towing 0297.
When towing a trailer with ACC, it is
important to properly set the Trailer Gain.
See “Integrated Trailer Brake Control
System” inTowing Equipment 0301 for
information about the Trailer Gain
adjustment procedure.
Use Tow/Haul mode when driving down
steep hills or mountain grades, or when
hauling heavy loads. See Driver Mode
Control 0209. Disengaging ACC
There are four ways to disengage ACC:
.Press*.
.Lightly apply the brake pedal.
.Apply the Regen on Demand steering
wheel paddle, if equipped.
.Press5.
Erasing Speed Memory
The ACC set speed is erased from memory if
5is pressed or if the vehicle is turned off.
Weather Conditions Affecting ACC
ACC system operation may be limited under
snow, heavy rain, or road spray conditions.
Accessory Installations and Vehicle
Modifications
.Do not install or place any object around
the front camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front camera view.
.Do not install objects on top of the
vehicle that overhang and may obstruct
the front camera, such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be transported on
top of the vehicle.
.Do not modify the hood, headlamps,
or fog lamps, as this may limit the
camera’s ability to detect an object. Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the windshield behind
the rearview mirror, and the sensors on the
front of the vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or other debris. These
areas must be clean for ACC to operate
properly. For proper cleaning instructions,
see the section
“Washing the Vehicle” in
Exterior Care 0379.
If driving conditions temporarily prevent
normal and safe ACC operation, regular
cruise control may be available. See
“Switching Between ACC and Regular Cruise
Control” previously in this section. Always
consider driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can steer to
maintain lane position under certain
conditions on Super Cruise-enabled roads.
Super Cruise can also steer to perform a
lane change under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads.
A lane change can be initiated by the driver
using the turn signal lever.

limit sign is detected, ACC will set the speed
to the road speed limit (+/− the selected
offset). For Auto Set Speed customization,
see Adaptive Cruise Control (Advanced)
0 217. When engaged and not steering the vehicle,
the steering wheel light bar flashes blue,
and
Zwill be blue. The driver is in control
of steering and Super Cruise is not steering
the vehicle.
When the vehicle is positioned in the center
of the lane, the steering wheel light bar and
Zdisplay will turn green, indicating Super
Cruise is steering the vehicle.
When Super Cruise controls the steering,
traffic and other conditions and laws permit,
and it is safe to do so, your hands can be
taken off the steering wheel.
Always pay attention to the road and the
operation of the vehicle. Always monitor
and be attentive of surrounding traffic,
including vehicles that may cross the road in
front of your vehicle.
Super Cruise steering can be overridden with
manual steering at any time. When Super
Cruise is engaged, always be prepared to
take immediate action —including steering,
accelerating, and braking quickly,
if necessary.
When Super Cruise is engaged, the Forward
Collision system will alert and brake. See
Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0261. Steering Manually and Changing Lanes
The vehicle can always be manually steered,
even with Super Cruise engaged; for
example, when manually changing lanes.
When the steering wheel is moved
manually, the steering wheel light bar
flashes blue andZon the instrument
cluster turns blue to indicate Super Cruise is
not steering the vehicle.
When ready to allow Super Cruise to
resume steering again, position the vehicle
in the center of the lane, hold the steering
wheel until the steering wheel light bar
turns green, and then release the steering
wheel when it is safe to do so.
