0 258.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the LCA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists
drivers with avoiding lane change
crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone (or
spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from
behind. The LCA warning display
will light up in the corresponding
outside mirror and will flash if the
turn signal is on. The Side Blind
Zone Alert (SBZA) system is
included as part of the LCA system.
See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
0 255 andLane Change Alert (LCA)
0 256.
Surround Vision
If equipped, views around the
vehicle appear in the infotainment
display to aid with parking and
low-speed maneuvers. See
“Surround Vision” under
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0243.
Front Vision Camera
If equipped, a view of the area in
front of the vehicle appears on the
infotainment display to aid with
parking and low-speed maneuvers.
See “Front Vision Camera” under
Assistance Systems for Parking or
Backing 0243.
Rear Vision
Camera (RVC)
The RVC displays a view of the
area behind the vehicle on the
infotainment display when the
vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse) to
aid with parking and low-speed
backing maneuvers.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0243.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System
If equipped, the RCTA system
shows a triangle with an arrow on
the infotainment display to warn of
traffic behind your vehicle that may
cross your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing 0243.
Park Assist
If equipped, Rear Park Assist (RPA)
uses sensors on the rear bumper to
assist with parking and avoiding
objects while in R (Reverse).
It operates at speeds less than
8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may show a
warning triangle on the infotainment
display and a graphic on the
instrument cluster to provide the
object distance. In addition, multiple
beeps or seat pulses may occur if
very close to an object.
The vehicle may also have the Front
Park Assist system.

28 In Brief
Special DPF Driver Messages
If the vehicle is used for numerous
short trips or extended slow-speed
operation, the engine computer may
not be able to clean the DPF
effectively. If this happens, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
will display.
If the vehicle continues to be driven
in a manner that prevents effective
DPF cleaning, the DPF will become
plugged. If this occurs, the engine
computer will turn on the
malfunction indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster and a DIC
message will display. SeeDiesel
Particulate Filter 0207, Fuel for
Diesel Engines 0262 andEngine
Oil 0294.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used
with diesel engines to reduce the
amount of regulated emissions
produced. The DEF system must be
maintained for the vehicle to run properly. It is normal to hear the
DEF system purge fluid back into
the tank after the vehicle is shut off.
Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF can be purchased at a GMC
dealer. It can also be purchased at
authorized vehicle dealerships.
Additionally, some diesel fueling
stations or retailers may have DEF.
For vehicles with an active OnStar
service plan, OnStar can help to
locate a DEF retailer. See
Customer
Assistance Offices 0397 for phone
numbers to assist you in contacting
a GM dealer. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0387.
As the DEF tank becomes low on
fluid, warnings begin with
approximately 1 600 km (1,000 mi)
of remaining range. These warnings
will increase in intensity as the tank
becomes empty. Once the tank is
empty, the vehicle speed will be
limited. If there is an issue with the
quality of the fluid or the exhaust
fluid system, warnings will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Center (DIC). See Diesel Exhaust
Fluid 0208.

50 Keys, Doors, and Windows
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the transmitter
leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is turned
on or in ACC/ACCESSORY and a
valid Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is in the vehicle.
The security light, in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.The system has one or more RKE
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the transmitter is ever
damaged, you may not be able to
start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come on briefly
when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the ignition will not change from
off to on or ACC/ACCESSORY, and
the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the cupholder in the
center console.
If the ignition mode will not change
with the other transmitter or with the
transmitter in the cupholder, your
vehicle needs service. If the ignition
does change modes, the first
transmitter may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
RKE transmitters. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed to
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see
“Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation 030.
Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.

80 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
work with seat belts, not replace
them. Also, airbags are not
designed to inflate in every crash.
In some crashes seat belts are
the only restraint. SeeWhen
Should an Airbag Inflate? 082.
Wearing your seat belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance
of hitting things inside the vehicle
or being ejected from it. Airbags
are “supplemental restraints” to
the seat belts. Everyone in the
vehicle should wear a seat belt
properly, whether or not there is
an airbag for that person.
{Warning
Because airbags inflate with great
force and faster than the blink of
an eye, anyone who is up
against, or very close to, any
airbag when it inflates can be
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
seriously injured or killed. Do not
sit unnecessarily close to any
airbag, as you would be if sitting
on the edge of the seat or leaning
forward. Seat belts help keep you
in position before and during a
crash. Always wear a seat belt,
even with airbags. The driver
should sit as far back as possible
while still maintaining control of
the vehicle. The seat belts and
the front outboard passenger
airbags are most effective when
you are sitting well back and
upright in the seat with both feet
on the floor.
Occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door or side
windows in seating positions with
seat-mounted side impact airbags
and/or roof-rail airbags.
{Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag when
it inflates can be seriously injured
or killed. Always secure children
properly in the vehicle. To read
how, seeOlder Children 091 or
Infants and Young Children 093.
There is an airbag readiness light
on the instrument cluster, which
shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag
electrical system for malfunctions.
The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. See Airbag
Readiness Light 0131.
