SAFETY
The best crash is the one you avoid. That’s why every Terrain comes standard with technologies like StabiliTrak and traction control. They’re constantly on
guard, ready to help you in adverse driving conditions. Should a collision happen, Terrain has a reinforced steel safety cage and crush zones engineered
to absorb and channel impact energy to help protect the occupants in a collision.

check the side and inside rearview mirrors,
look over your shoulder for vehicles and
hazards and start the turn signal.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
3
Properly inflated
tires are important to your
comfort, vehicle control and
economy. This system uses
tiny sensors inside the wheel
to “broadcast” tire pressure to
your vehicle, which alerts you to
their status and inflation level
through the Driver Information
Center. If you subscribe to
OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics,
this information is part of the
monthly e-mail update. If you
have the RemoteLink
4
app for
your iPhone,® you can check this
status instantly.

Does not monitor spare tire.

DUAL-STAGE FRONTAL AIR
BAGS
1
To help reduce the risk of
injury to the driver and front-seat
passenger, Terrain is equipped
with two front dual-stage air
bags. The Passenger Sensing
System feature uses sensors
within the front-passenger
seat to detect the presence
of a properly seated occupant
and determine if the right front
passenger frontal air bag should
be enabled.
HEAD CURTAIN SIDE-IMPACT
AIR BAGS
1
These air bags deploy
from the roof rail like a protective
curtain for outboard passengers
and can be activated by either
rollover sensors or side-impact
sensors.
SIDE-IMPACT AIR BAGS
1
To help
protect the thorax and pelvic
regions of the driver and outside
front passenger in a side-impact
collision, Terrain includes
standard side-impact air bags
mounted on the driver and
outside front-passenger seats.
1
Air bag inflation can cause severe injury
or death to anyone too close to the bag
when it deploys. Be sure every occupant
is properly restrained. Always use safety
belts and the correct child restraint for
your child’s age and size, even with air
bags. Even in vehicles equipped with the
Passenger Sensing System, children are
safer when properly secured in a rear
seat in the appropriate infant, child or
booster seat. Never place a rear-facing
infant restraint in the front seat of any
vehicle equipped with an active frontal
air bag. See your vehicle Owner’s Manual
and child safety seat instructions for
more safety information.

FORWARD COLLISION
ALERT AND LANE DEPARTURE
WARNING These systems are
standard on Denali and SLT-2
models, and are available in the
Safety Package on SLT-1 and
SLE-2 models. Sophisticated
digital imaging technology is
used to help you avoid a crash.
Forward Collision Alert provides
an audible and visual signal if you
are rapidly approaching another
vehicle and it appears that a
collision may be imminent. Lane
Departure Warning alerts you if you
happen to wander from your lane
without using your turn signal.
ELECTRONIC CHILD SAFETY
LOCKS To prevent young children
from opening the rear doors
unexpectedly, Terrain includes
a one-touch electronic safety
door lock switch. Simply pushing
this button in the center console
sends an electronic signal to the
rear doors, blocking interior door
handle function. The button is
backlit in amber when the doors
are locked and turns to red when
unlocked to help you determine
the locks are deactivated.
REINFORCED STEEL SAFETY
CAGE DESIGN Terrain’s robust
body-frame integral structure
is engineered to help maintain
the integrity of the passenger
compartment in the event of
a collision.
LATCH CHILD SEAT ANCHORING
SYSTEM Make it easier to
properly install a child seat.
LATCH stands for Lower Anchors
and Top tethers for CHildren. It
means that a LATCH-equipped
child seat will install to specially
designed retainer hooks in your
Terrain. LATCH also enables a
child seat top tether strap to
be attached that helps limit
movement in a forward crash to
help reduce the chance of injury.
STABILITRAK STABILITY
CONTROL SYSTEM To help you
stay in control when the road is
loose, snowy, icy, wet or uneven,
StabiliTrak uses a network of
vehicle sensors to monitor how
your Terrain is responding to your
steering and braking commands.
If the system determines your
vehicle is not responding properly,
it can pulse the brakes or reduce
engine power to help you stay on
the path being steered.

SIDE BLIND ZONE
2
AND REAR
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERTS Terrain
Denali’s radar-equipped sensors
monitor side blind spots, alerting
the driver to help reduce the risk
of collisions. While in reverse, the
Rear Cross Traffic Alert monitors
your surrounding environment to
provide visual and audible alerts
to traffic approaching the vehicle
from outside your field of vision.

Before making a lane change, always
check the Side Blind Zone Alert display,
