Shifting Into Park
1. Hold the brake pedal down and set theparking brake. See Parking Brake0151.
2. Move the shift lever into P (Park) by pressing the button on the shift lever
and pushing the lever all the way
toward the front of the vehicle.
3. Push the ignition key in, towards the steering column and then turn the
ignition off. 4. Remove the key and take it with you.
If you can leave the vehicle with the
ignition key in your hand, the vehicle is
in P (Park).
Leaving the Vehicle with the Engine
Running
{Warning
It can be dangerous to leave the vehicle
with the engine running. It could
overheat and catch fire.
It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle
if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park)
with the parking brake firmly set. The
vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the engine
is running. If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can move suddenly.
You or others could be injured. To be
sure the vehicle will not move, even
when you are on fairly level ground,
always set the parking brake and move
the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting
Into Park 0145. If you have to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, be sure the vehicle is in
P (Park) and the parking brake is firmly set
before you leave it. After you have moved
the shift lever into P (Park), hold the brake
pedal down. Then see if you can move the
shift lever away from P (Park) without first
pushing the button on the shift lever. If you
can, it means that the shift lever was not
fully locked into P (Park).
Torque Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you do not
shift the transmission into P (Park) properly,
the weight of the vehicle may put too much
force on the parking pawl in the
transmission. You may find it difficult to pull
the shift lever out of P (Park). This is called
“torque lock.”
To prevent torque lock, set the
parking brake and then shift into P (Park)
properly before you leave the driver seat. To
find out how, see “Shifting Into Park”
previously in this section.
When you are ready to drive, move the
shift lever out of P (Park) before you release
the parking brake.

Radio Frequency
This vehicle may be equipped with driver
assistance systems that operate using radio
frequency. SeeRadio Frequency Statement
0 257.
Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
When the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse),
the Rear Vision Camera (RVC) displays an
image of the area behind the vehicle in the
infotainment display. The previous screen
displays when the vehicle is shifted out of
R (Reverse) after a short delay. To return to
the previous screen sooner, press Home or
Back on the infotainment system, shift into
P (Park), or reach a vehicle speed of
approximately 12 km/h (8 mph) while in
D (Drive).
1. View Displayed by the Camera
1. View Displayed by the Camera
2. Corners of the Rear Bumper
Displayed images may be farther or closer
than they appear. The area displayed is
limited and objects that are close to either
corner of the bumper or under the bumper
do not display.
A warning triangle may appear on the
infotainment display to show that Rear Park
Assist (RPA) or Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
has detected an object. This triangle changes
from amber to red and increases in size the
closer the object.
{Warning
The camera(s) do not display children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, crossing traffic,
animals, or any other object outside of
the cameras’ field of view, below the
bumper, or under the vehicle. Shown
distances may be different from actual
distances. Do not drive or park the
vehicle using only these camera(s).
Always check behind and around the
vehicle before driving. Failure to use
proper care may result in injury, death,
or vehicle damage.

158 Driving and Operating
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with RCTA, a triangle with an
arrow may display on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from either
direction. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side, behind the vehicle. When an
object is detected, three beeps sound from
the left or right side, depending on the
direction of the detected vehicle.
The Park Assist and RCTA symbols appear
and may cover an object when viewing the
infotainment display when an object is
detected by the RPA or RCTA system. To
turn the symbols on or off, seeVehicle
Personalization 093.
RCTA can be turned on or off through
vehicle personalization. See “Collision
Detection Systems” underVehicle
Personalization 093.
Park Assist
If equipped, Rear Park Assist (RPA) system, it
assists you with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse). RPA operates at
speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph), and the
sensors on the rear bumper detect objects
up to 1.5 m (5 ft) behind the vehicle, and at least 30 cm (12 in) off the ground. The
distance objects can be detected may be
less during warmer or humid weather.
{Warning
The Park Assist system does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects below the bumper or that are
too close or too far from the vehicle. It is
not available at speeds greater than
8 km/h (5 mph). To prevent injury, death,
or vehicle damage, even with Park Assist,
always check the area around the vehicle
and check all mirrors before backing.
How the System Works
RPA comes on automatically when the shift
lever is moved into R (Reverse).
An obstacle is indicated by audible beeps.
The interval between the beeps becomes
shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the
obstacle. When the distance is less than
30 cm (12 in) the beeping is a continuous
tone for five seconds.
Turning the System On and Off
The RPA system can be turned on and off
using the infotainment system controls. See
Vehicle Personalization
093.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
This light may come on for the following
reasons:
.The sensors are not clean. Keep the
vehicle's rear bumper free of mud, dirt,
snow, ice, and slush. For cleaning
instructions, see Exterior Care0226.
.The Park Assist sensors are 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
light may not clear until the frost or ice
has melted.

260 Customer Information
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 personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to
the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special
equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
GM will not access these data or share it
with others except: with the consent of the
vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased,
with the consent of the lessee; in response
to an official request by police or similar
government office; as part of GM's defense
of litigation through the discovery process;
or, as required by law. Data that GM collects
or receives may also be used for GM
research needs or may be made available to
others for research purposes, where a need
is shown and the data is not tied to a
specific vehicle or vehicle owner.
OnStar
If the vehicle is equipped with OnStar and
has an active service plan, additional data
may be collected and transmitted through
the OnStar system. This includes information
about the vehicle’s operation; collisions
involving the vehicle; the use of the vehicle
and its features, including infotainment; and
the location and approximate GPS speed of
the vehicle. Refer to the OnStar Terms and
Conditions and Privacy Statement on the
OnStar website.
