Performance and
Maintenance
Traction Control/
Electronic Stability
Control
The Traction Control System (TCS) limits wheel slip. The system is on when the vehicle is started.
The StabiliTrak system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. The system is on when the vehicle is started.
TCS and StabiliTrak can be turned off or on using the Driver Information Center (DIC) controls. See Traction Control/Electronic Stability Control 0 208.
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 0 177. 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.

Driving for Better Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage. Here are some driving tips to get the best fuel economy possible.
.Avoid fast starts and accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for long periods of time.
.When road and weather conditions are appropriate, use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed limits or drive more slowly when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly inflated.
.Combine several trips into a single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires with the same TPC Spec number molded into the tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended scheduled maintenance.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The engine is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that will filter or trap particulates. The DPF is under the vehicle in the exhaust system.
Depending on a number of factors monitored by the engine computer, the DPF will need to be cleaned of accumulated solids. When a cleaning is needed, the engine computer will initiate a cleaning action by warming the exhaust gas temperature. This feature has been designed to operate automatically, with limited operator involvement or awareness.
In Brief |
27 |
|
|
Cleaning the DPF (Exhaust
Filter)
While the DPF cleaning is automatically controlled by the engine computer, the vehicle will need to operate continuously for approximately 25 minutes and at speeds greater than
50 km/h (30 mph) to clean the DPF effectively.
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.
See Diesel Particulate Filter 0 193, Fuel for Diesel Engines 0 233 and Engine Oil 0 263.
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 subscription, OnStar can help to locate a DEF retailer. See Customer Assistance Offices 0 363 for phone numbers to assist you in contacting a GM dealer. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 353.
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 0 194.
