I'm not comfortable with the backup assist yet. My ford would beep and increase the beeping the closer you got until you get a solid tone. You were there.
The acadia gives you one beep, 2nd beep, & 3rd beep. Then get out & see how close you are.
Can you expand on this a bit? We currently have an Expedition so I fully understand how the Ford system behaves. I just naively assumed that the GM would be the same. Are you saying that the GM system does not warn you as you are getting closer and closer to whatever object may be in your way?
Additionally, does anyone know if the rearview camera will be dependent on getting the NAV system? I would like the camera but don't feel the need for NAV.
Thanks.
From the manual:
How the System Works when Backing:
If the shift lever is in REVERSE (R), URPA
detects objects close to the rear bumper. The
first time an object is detected a single beep will
sound. If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R)
speed between 0 mph (0 km/h) and 5 mph
(8 km/h), the following describes what will occur
based on your distance to a detected object
located behind the vehicle:
• At distances between 40 inches (1 m) and 8 ft
(2.5 m), a single amber light will come on.
• At distances between 23 inches (0.6 m) and
40 inches (1 m), both amber lights will be on.
• At distances between 12 inches (0.3 m) and
23 inches (0.6 m), all three lights (amber/
amber/red) will be on.
• At distances less than 12 inches (0.3 m), a
beeping sound will repeat for a short time and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will flash.
I just haven't gotten used to this yet after the Ford system.
