Hey everyone. I picked up my truck today and I am beyond happy! Just a couple little questions that I'm sure are really simple answers.

 

I have the front and rear park assist. I was pulling up to my garage door and noticed that just the front bar in the DIC between the gauges lit up. This means I'm getting close but I never heard a beep and my seat didnt vibrate. I thought that they were suppose to. Is some setting turned off or am I just not close enough to set it off?

 

I have a Sierra Slt all terrain. Do I even have the vibrating seat? No big deal if I don't really.

 

I haven't tried the backup sensors yet to see if they beep or if my seat vibrates.

 

The whole intellilink system will take some learning. I'm not use to so many computers in vehicles.

Really, it might be quicker just to call the dealer and have them tell you by your vin an package options. Though I think I have the papers from my car that tell me all the extras that were added on it.

Must have been a bad dealer they are supposed to give you a walk through of the features in your truck. Go back there and ask for it. I have to tell the to leave me alone ill read it in the manual. I can only retain it by doing or reading, showing goes in one ear out the other.

Correct, to have the seats vibrate you need the Lane Change assist package which I don't think you can get on the AT package. My AT doesn't have it and only the icon on the dash pops up as I get close to things.

I think the vibrating thing requires the heated and cooled seats which are not available in the AT.

Ok ya I don't have the lane change package. Does your truck chime or beep when you get close to things in the front or back though?

the vibrating seat is only for the lane assist warning.

 

the parking sensors (front and rear) will light up in the center dash screen when you get close, and will beep when you get REAL close.

 

I think there is like a few levels of "closeness" that the sensors can detect and they beep when its near the 2-3 bottom levels. meaning when you are close to an object.

 

Mine go off just pulling into my garage, its a 9' wide door so its just sensing the sides of the garage.

 

congrats on the new truck.

No, on mine a little guy jumped out with an orange flag. The closer I got to something the faster he waved the flag. Mine was an early build so maybe they updated that option.

How early? My LTZ was built August 2013 and has the lines. Is this another Sierra thing? Also, Safety Seat will vibrate if set instead of sound. Mine works like this excerpt from the Silverado OM..

The instrument cluster parking assist display has bars that show

distance to object and object location information for URPA, and on some vehicles, for the Front Parking Assist system. As the object gets closer, more bars light up. When an object is first detected in the rear, one beep will be heard from the rear, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse two times. When an object is very close (<0.6 m (2 ft) in the vehicle rear, or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front), a continuous beep will sound from the front or rear, or both sides of the Safety Alert Seat will pulse five times. Beeps for Front Parking Assist are higher pitched than for Rear Parking Assist.

They did offer but I basically told them that I'd figure it out on my own. Most stuff is pretty simple, I'm the same way in that I like doing it myself or reading it to actually learn.

OP, Just so you know, there is a lot of good stuff collected here... 2014 Info, Searching, & Topics Index *UPDATED-05/17/14*

If you have a question, it might have been discussed before...and I have found between this link and the Owner's Manual (yes, the infamous OM), there is a lot of good info. Have fun and enjoy your new truck!

the beep/seat vibrate doesnt happen until the closest line on the DIC. it also doesnt happen until 12 inches from something in the rear. if you turn on seat vibrate for lane departure/collision warning it will also enable seat vibrate for parking sensors. PITA when i want beeps for parking and vibrate for lane departure.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
