Buick GMC Diagnostic Alerts – What are they?
Diagnostic alerts on your Buick GMC are real-time notifications for key operating systems. They give you the confidence of knowing many of the things going on under your hood. After enrolling, you can keep tabs on the health of some of your vehicle’s key systems like the engine, transmission and anti-lock brakes. If a problem is detected, you can get a real-time alert by text message or email, depending on how you set your preferences.
Does my vehicle have this feature?
All 2018 or newer Buick GMC models are capable of receiving Diagnostic Alerts. You’ll also need an active OnStar plan to enroll.
How do I get started?
To receive Diagnostic Alerts you will need to enroll in the feature and set up your preferences for receiving alerts. You may have already enrolled in the program at the dealership when you originally purchased your Buick GMC.
If you did not enroll at the time of purchase, follow the steps below:
- Log into your GMC or Buick Account (www.gmc.com/myaccount or www.buick/myaccount)
- Navigate to the Vehicle Overview page, scroll down and select Notification Settings. Then, look for the Vehicle Diagnostics section under Communication Preferences.
- Toggle on Diagnostic Alerts for the notification method (Text/Email) that works best for you.
- You can also manage your notification preferences in the myGMC or myBuick mobile app.
- After enrolling, you’ll receive a confirmation text or email indicating you’ve successfully signed up.
For additional help you can contact your local Buick GMC Service Department.

How does GMC Super Cruise™ work?
The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses precision LiDAR map data and in addition to real-time cameras, sensors and GPS to maintain control of the vehicle under certain conditions on compatible roads.
Additionally, Super Cruise is only available on compatible roads. Usually, these are roads separated from traffic going in the opposite direction.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control, which is designed to detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path and accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following gap time from a vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status, works to monitor your head and eye positioning and uses alerts that prompt you to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed.
HOW TO USE SUPER CRUISE
To use Super Cruise, Adaptive Cruise Control must be on.
1. Press the ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL button on the steering wheel to turn the system on.
2. When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible road for the feature to function are met (e.g., lane markings visible, GPS available, no system faults), the Super Cruise symbol illuminates on the instrument cluster.
3. When it is safe to do so, press the SUPER CRUISE button on the steering wheel. When the symbol and the steering wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. You should not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green.
+ When all other driving conditions are met but you are not centered in your lane, the Super Cruise symbol will light up blue until you are centered in your lane.
4. If an Adaptive Cruise Control speed was not previously set, Super Cruise will set your current speed as the cruise speed.
5. When Super Cruise is turned on, it will activate the Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert and Lane
Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert features, even if you had previously turned them off. When you turn Super Cruise off, these features will revert to the settings you had previously indicated for them.
Super Cruise is available to chose when you have an active eligible GM Connected Services plan.

When your car has been in a collision, getting it repaired properly is critical for your family’s safety and your peace of mind. But how do you know if a shop has the up-to-date knowledge to repair your vehicle safely?
The Gold Class designation lets you know a collision repair shop has trained technicians who know how to repair your vehicle properly. Approximately 20% of collision repair shops currently complete the rigorous training requirements needed to meet the Gold Class standard. Businesses that earn Gold Class status are proud of their accomplishment and will typically display the Gold Class logo prominently in their shop and on their website to help you identify them as highly trained repair facilities.

- How to make the right decisions for a safe repair
- How to find hidden damage others may not see
- The latest repair procedures and technologies
- Which parts to repair and which to replace

The available Hands-Free Power Liftgate with Logo Projection and Programmable Height (if equipped) lets you open and close the
liftgate with a simple kicking motion below the bumper. If equipped, an illuminated logo will be projected on the ground underneath
the location of where you should kick.
DOES MY VEHICLE HAVE THIS FEATURE?
- If you have the HANDS-FREE CUSTOMIZATION MENU on your infotainment system, your vehicle has Hands-Free Power Liftgate
- If you have a knob on the inside of your driver door or overhead console that shows an open liftgate with various heights, you have Hands-Free Power Liftgate
- If your liftgate opens when you kick under the bumper, you have this feature
HOW IT WORKS
Using sensors positioned below the rear bumper, the power liftgate is designed to open or close when you kick up toward the bumper in a straight kicking motion. On some models, a logo projects on the ground to show you where to kick. If your vehicle does not have the logo projection, check your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the correct location to kick.
- The logo projection (if equipped) turns on automatically as you approach within six feet of the rear of the vehicle and stays illuminated for 60 seconds
- In order to operate the Hands-Free Power Liftgate, your key fob must be within three feet of the rear of the vehicle. It can be in your hand, pocket or in a bag (only the key fobs received at vehicle delivery will activate the logo projection feature)
- You should aim your kick over the logo that is projected on the ground (if equipped), but don’t step on the logo
- Your kick should be in and back out in one quick, straight motion, taking only about one second. Your kick should be high enough to come within five inches of the bottom of the bumper without kicking the vehicle
- A side-to-side motion of your foot will not work, nor will holding your foot under the bumper. Your foot must pass through the range of light beam sensors, which may require you to adjust the height of you leg swing
- The same kicking motion opens and closes the liftgate
- When closing the liftgate, there is a two-second delay before it starts closing to give you time to step away from the moving liftgate
- The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound to indicate the liftgate is opening or closing
