AUTO mode only the rear wheels will hold the vehicle from sliding when parked. If parking on a steep grade, use 4 m to keep all four wheels engaged. 4 m (Four-Wheel Drive High) : Use this setting when extra traction is needed, such as on snowy or icy roads or in most off-road situations. N (Neutral) : Shift to this setting only when towing the vehicle. See Recreational Vehicle Towing 0 441
or Trailer Towing 0 325. 4 n (Four-Wheel Drive Low) : This setting sends maximum power to all four wheels. Choose 4n when driving in deep sand, mud, or snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills. See Four-Wheel Drive 0 292.


Automatic Transfer Case


This transfer case knob is to the left of the steering column. The different drive options that may be available are described following. 2 m (Two-Wheel Drive High) : This setting is used for driving in most street and highway situations. AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive) : This setting is ideal for use when road surface traction conditions are variable.

Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System If equipped, FCA may help avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. FCA provides a green indicator, V, when a vehicle is detected ahead. This indicator displays amber if you follow a vehicle much too closely. When approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a flashing red alert on the windshield and rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat. See Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System 0 312.


Lane Departure Warning (LDW) If equipped, LDW may help avoid unintentional lane departures at speeds of 56 km/h (35 mph) or greater. LDW uses a camera sensor to detect the lane markings. The LDW light, @, is green if a lane marking is detected. If the vehicle departs the lane, the light will


change to amber and flash. In addition, beeps will sound or the driver seat will pulse. See Lane Departure Warning (LDW) (2500/3500 Series) 0 314.


Lane Keep Assist (LKA) If equipped, LKA may help avoid crashes due to unintentional lane departures. It may assist by gently turning the steering wheel if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction. It may also provide a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alert as the lane marking is crossed. The system will not assist or alert if it detects that you are actively steering. Override LKA by turning the steering wheel. LKA uses a camera to detect lane markings between 60 km/h (37 mph) and 180 km/h (112 mph). See Lane Departure Warning (LDW) (2500/3500 Series) 0 314 and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) (1500 Series) 0 315.

in the instrument cluster and the appropriate DIC message displays. See Ride Control System Messages 0 157.


. Press and release g again to


turn on both systems.


StabiliTrak will automatically turn on if the vehicle exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph). Traction control will remain off. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 303.


Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).


The low tire pressure warning light alerts to a significant loss in pressure of one of the vehicle's tires. If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible and inflate


the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Vehicle Load Limits 0 267. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure. The TPMS does not replace normal monthly tire maintenance. Maintain the correct tire pressures. See Tire Pressure Monitor System 0 411.


Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates engine oil life based on vehicle use and, on most vehicles, displays a DIC message when it is necessary to change the engine oil and filter. The oil life system should be reset to 100% only following an oil change.


Resetting the Oil Life System To reset the engine oil life system: 1. Display OIL LIFE REMAINING


on the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC) (Base Level) 0 148 or Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel) 0 149. If the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, the vehicle must be in P (Park) to access this display.


2. Press and hold the V button on


the DIC, or the trip odometer reset stem if the vehicle does not have DIC buttons, for several seconds. The oil life will change to 100%.


The oil life system can also be reset as follows: 1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN


with the engine off.


2. Fully press the accelerator


pedal slowly three times within five seconds.

impacted, and airbags may not deploy. To reduce the risk of unintentional rotation of the ignition key, do not change the way the ignition key and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, if equipped, are connected to the provided key rings.


The ignition key and key rings, and RKE transmitter, if equipped, are designed to work together as a system to reduce the risk of unintentionally moving the key out of the RUN position. The ignition key has a small hole to allow attachment of the provided key ring. It is important that any replacement ignition keys have a small hole. See your dealer if a replacement key is required. The combination and size of the rings that came with your keys were specifically selected for your vehicle. The rings are connected to the key like two links of a chain to reduce the risk of unintentionally


moving the key out of the RUN position. Do not add any additional items to the ring attached to the ignition key. Attach additional items only to the second ring, and limit added items to a few essential keys or small, light items no larger than an RKE transmitter.


The key is used for the ignition and all door locks. Programming Keys Follow these procedures to program up to eight keys to the vehicle.


{ Warning


If the key is unintentionally rotated while the vehicle is running, the ignition could be moved out of the RUN position. This could be caused by heavy items hanging from the key ring, or by large or long items attached to the key ring that could be contacted by the driver or steering wheel. If the ignition moves out of the RUN position, the engine will shut off, braking and steering power assist may be (Continued)

and remove the key. Insert the new key to be programmed and turn it to the ON/RUN position within five seconds. The security light will turn off once the key has been programmed.


4. Repeat Steps 1–3 if additional


keys are to be programmed.


If a key is lost or damaged, see your dealer to have a new key made.


Programming without a Recognized Key Program a new key to the vehicle when a recognized key is not available. Canadian regulations require that owners see their dealer.


If there are no currently recognized keys available, follow this procedure to program the first key. This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete for the first key. The vehicle must be off and all of the keys you wish to program must be with you. 1.


Insert the new vehicle key into the ignition.


2. Turn to ON/RUN. The security


light will come on.


3. Wait 10 minutes until the


security light turns off.


4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF. 5. Repeat Steps 2–4 two more


times. After the third time, turn to ON/RUN; the key is learned and all previously known keys will no longer work with the vehicle.


Remaining keys can be learned by following the procedure in “Programming with a Recognized Key.”


The key has a bar-coded key tag that the dealer or qualified locksmith can use to make new keys. Store this information in a safe place, not in the vehicle. See your dealer if a replacement key or additional key is needed. If it becomes difficult to turn a key, inspect the key blade for debris. Periodically clean with a brush or pick. With an active OnStar subscription, an OnStar Advisor may remotely unlock the vehicle. See OnStar Overview 0 490.
