New Truck 2017 Chevy Silverado-Couple questions

Hello everyone!

I have a 2017 Silverado LTZ, 6.2 Liter, 4X4 with most options on it.

I have went through all the screens in the DIC and have found most of the software features.

I am thinking that this truck "might" have the following but can't find it, maybe someone else has found it.

 

1.) The Rear Seat Reminder

2.) "Breadcrumbs" or Tracks left on the GPS screen to show where you have been.

 

This link says its (The Rear Seat Reminder) is on a number of these vehicles including this one; http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2016/dec/1206-rsr1.html

 

Also see on other sites that one can set the software in the Nav GPS to show "Breadcrumbs" or Tracks but I can not find it.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.....Ernie

Can't help you with the breadcrumbs, but the rear seat reminder is easy to find. Press settings on the main screen, and it should be the second option. That's where mine is at least. No clue how to access it via the DIC.

 

Congrats on the new truck.

on my 2016 I have never seen any bread crumbs when using the NAV.

I haven't seen the bread crumbs feature either. Don't believe it has it. The rear rear seat reminder is sort of a PITA because it sets when one of the rear doors are opened and then closed; even if no one is sitting back there. Then when you stop, it chimes to remind you to check the rear seat. If you open a rear door just to put something in the back, you'll always get that reminder. In other words, it's not triggered by weight on the seat but rather by a rear door being opened before start up.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
