Driver Assistance Systems
The driver assistance systems use advanced technologies to help avoid collisions by
providing visual and audible alerts under some imminent collision conditions.
Lane Departure Warning
F – When crossing a detected lane marking without using a turn
signal, the system flashes an amber visual alert on the instrument cluster.
Press the Lane Departure Warning button (A) on the center of the instrument
panel to turn the system on or off.
Forward Collision Alert
F – When approaching a vehicle directly ahead too quickly, the
system flashes a visual alert.
The
Vehicle Ahead indicator will illuminate in green on the instrument cluster when
a vehicle is detected and will illuminate in amber when following a vehicle ahead too
closely. If your vehicle approaches another vehicle much too rapidly, the collision alert will
flash on the windshield and beep rapidly.
Press the Collision Alert button (B)
on the center of the instrument panel to
set the alert sensitivity to Far, Medium,
Near, or Off. The setting is displayed in
the Driver Information Center.
Side Blind Zone Alert
F – While driving, the
Side Blind Zone Alert displays a warning
symbol on the left or right side mirror when
a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone
area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn
signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected.
To turn the system on or off, go to the Vehicle Information menu in the Driver
Information Center.
Rear Vision Camera – Provides a view directly behind the vehicle when backing up.
To turn the Rear Vision Camera Guidelines or Rear Park Assist Symbols on or off, go to
Settings > Rear Camera.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
F – Warns of traffic coming in either direction behind the vehicle
by displaying a visual alert on the Rear Vision Camera display.
To turn the system on or off, go to the Vehicle Information menu in the Driver
Information Center.
Rear Parking Assist – When the vehicle is in Reverse, detected objects are indicated by
audible beeps. The interval between beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to
an object. When the distance is less than 12 in. (30 cm), the beeps are continuous. The
system operates only at speeds less than 5 mph.
To turn the system on or off, go to the Vehicle Information menu in the Driver
Information Center.

If a rear window is open, there may be a buffeting wind noise inside the vehicle.
Opening a front window slightly when a rear window is open will prevent this noise from
occurring.

The Acadia base towing capacity is 2,000 lbs. Vehicles equipped with the Trailer Towing

See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one
or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be
viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and
then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire maintenance.
