"Personalized comfort comes effortlessly in your Traverse^® LTZ, thanks to this Memory Package that recalls stored settings for the driver's seat and exterior power mirror.

Your Traverse always feels as though it belongs to you and you alone – even when you share the driving. This package also includes an ingenious ""park tilt"" feature, which automatically points the mirrors to the perfect preset curb-viewing angle when you shift into reverse. Now you'll help to never scuff a tire or ride up a curb when you parallel park."

Brighten up the ride in front and in back with the dual SkyScape^&reg; power sunroof.&nbsp;With&nbsp;two panels&nbsp;&ndash; one directly over the front seats and the other directly over the second row&nbsp;&ndash; it lets everyone inside enjoy mood-boosting, energizing sunshine. A convenient, one-touch express button lets you power back the glass fully for open-air freshness while one hand leaves the wheel for only a moment. Or, almost as quickly, you can open it only as far as you choose to vent the vehicle's interior. The fixed rear panel includes a sunshade, so kids can control brightness and still see the screens on their hand-held electronic games. These two big, bright overhead panels make every ride seem like a vacation trip.

Brute strength and penny-pinching efficiency combine in this 3.6L V6 engine. Thanks to sophisticated technology, it generates power similar to a V8's, but with fuel economy you'd expect from a V6. Check out these family-friendly attributes:<br /><br />&bull; At-your-service muscle (281 hp, 288 hp with dual exhaust) for hauling your whole family and their gear without breaking a sweat<br />&bull; Ready-to-pull torque (266 lb-ft, 270 lb-ft with dual exhaust) with 90 percent available between 2500 and 6000 rpm for confidently merging with highway traffic and easily hauling a trailer up to 5200 lbs.¹<br />&bull; Budget-friendly economy (EPA-estimated MPG 17 city, 24 highway with front-wheel drive) on affordable regular unleaded<br />^{<br />1}Maximum trailer ratings are calculated assuming a properly equipped base vehicle, plus driver.

Charge and run laptops and other devices with this 3-prong, household-style power outlet, delivering 115 volts.&nbsp;<br /><br />Requires available rear seat entertainment system on LT and LTZ.

End the clutter of little black boxes clipped to the sun visor in your Traverse^&reg; 2LT or LTZ with this Universal Home Remote. With three&nbsp;easily programmable channels, it can activate up to three radio-frequency-controlled devices &ndash; your garage door, your home security system and&nbsp;your community's gate operator, for example. Because&nbsp;they're integrated in the Traverse interior, the controls always look good and never get misplaced or lost.<br /><br />Requires available All-Star Edition on 1LT models.

For added safety, your Traverse^&reg; comes equipped with 4-wheel antilock disc brakes &ndash; a key feature to help you maintain control while stopping on rain-slick or icy pavement. They eliminate the need to pump the brake pedal, a technique you might have learned to prevent&nbsp;skids caused by sudden, hard braking. Instead, when you keep steady, firm pressure on the pedal, sensors detect lockup and computerized controls automatically squeeze and release the brakes many times per second. In effect, the system pumps the brakes faster than you ever could,&nbsp;so&nbsp;the wheels won't lock and you'll&nbsp;retain steering control.&nbsp;In many emergencies, steering&nbsp;away from&nbsp;danger becomes just as important as stopping short of it.

For true peace of mind wherever you travel, this compact steel spare wheel and tire will replace any damaged tire and let you travel up 3000 miles&nbsp;&ndash; finishing your trip and allowing you to repair or replace&nbsp; the bad tire at your convenience.

Forget about&nbsp;searching aimlessly&nbsp;in crowded parking lots or fumbling&nbsp;to unlock your doors&nbsp;in the rain or snow. Your Traverse^&reg;&nbsp;comes with an extended-range Remote Keyless Entry system (and two transmitters) to end those hassles forever.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><ul> <li>One click unlocks only the driver's door, so you feel safer when alone at night or in other circumstances that require caution </li> <li>Two clicks unlock all the doors, so&nbsp;the whole family can pile in without waiting </li> <li>Vehicle&nbsp;Locator Button can be programmed to flash the lights and toot the horn,&nbsp;so you never have to wander around in parking lots </li> <li>Liftgate button unlocks (or powers up, if so equipped) the rear liftgate,&nbsp;even with your arms full </li></ul>

Get your Traverse^&reg; ready for more family fun with this complete package of trailering equipment. It includes everything you need to haul the equipment for a refreshing, action-filled getaway: <br /><br />&bull; A hitch suited to your Traverse, letting you tow a boat or trailer up to 5200 lbs.¹, packed with camping, hunting and fishing gear and the rest of your vacation needs. <br />&bull; Heavy-duty cooling system for worry-free travel<br />^{<br />1}Maximum trailer ratings are calculated assuming a properly equipped base vehicle, plus driver.

Merge and pass with confidence, thanks to the specially tuned 6-speed automatic transmission in your all-wheel drive Traverse^&reg;.&nbsp; Mated with the powerful 3.6L V6 engine, it shifts smoothly and responsively when you need acceleration most.<br /><br />This transmission requires an AWD model.

Part of the StabiliTrak^&reg; Electronic Stability Control system, the traction control feature activates automatically every time you start your Traverse^&reg;,so it's always ready to help give you grip while accelerating on slippery surfaces. When one of the tires on a drive wheel loses traction and starts to spin more freely than the others, sensors detect the condition and send a signal to the vehicle's computerized controls. They then instantly cut back engine power and apply brake pressure only to&nbsp;the slipping wheel, so the drive wheels with the&nbsp;best traction do the most work. That gives you go power on icy or rain-slick pavement, keeping you in control when you need it most.

Raise or lower the windows at the touch of a button. The driver power window has Express-Up and Express-Down features&nbsp;&ndash; especially convenient when going through&nbsp;a drive-through window, at a restaurant or using a drive-up ATM. The passenger windows include the Express-Down feature to quickly open the window.

Settle cozily into the lap of luxury with these heated and cooled front seats in your Traverse^&reg; LTZ. When the weather gets frosty, you and your companion can each choose from one of three warmth settings. Gentle&nbsp;heat emanates from the seatback and cushion. From your shoulders to&nbsp;the back of your thighs, every muscle stays loose, warm and relaxed, no matter how frigid the outside&nbsp;temperature turns. In summer, the touch of a button brings refreshing airflow from&nbsp;both the seatback and seat cushion, keeping you cool, calm and alert on even the muggiest days. These seats offer comfort you'll come&nbsp;to love in all four seasons. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Soft, supple leather wrapping your steering wheel provides sure grip and lends a touch of luxury to the driving experience. Redundant audio controls mounted on the steering wheel add convenience and minimize distractions, since you can keep both hands on the wheel while adjusting the sound system.

Step up to the sound quality of a live performance with this premium 10-speaker system, featuring Bose^&reg; 5.1 Surround Sound technology. With a speaker array engineered specifically for the Traverse^&reg;, even conventional stereo CDs deliver encircling sound, putting you in the midst of the performance regardless of your seating position in the vehicle. You hear music as it is meant to be heard: crystalline highs, fully textured mid-range tones and powerful bass notes. <br /><br />Requires available rear seat entertainment system.<br />

The Rear Park Assist system will help to alert&nbsp;you of certain stationary obstacles behind the vehicle during parking maneuvers. The system uses audible alerts to advise you&nbsp;of&nbsp;your vehicle's distance from the object. As you move closer to the obstacle - for example a lamp post or wall - &nbsp;the tones sound closer together assisting you in judging the distance between it and the rear of your vehicle.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System¹ assists you in maintaining proper air pressure in your tires. When the air pressure in&nbsp;1 or more of your vehicle's tires is low, a message to check the pressure in a specific tire displays in the Driver Information Center. The low-pressure warning light also will come on when you turn on the vehicle's ignition until the tires are inflated to the correct air pressure.<br /><br />¹Excludes spare tire.

The cargo area of your Traverse^&reg; can remain clutter-free, thanks to the handy storage tray in back. Located in the compartment in the floor of the rear cargo area, the tray helps keeps snow brushes, ice scrapers, your first aid kit and other seldom-used necessities neat and organized. Since the&nbsp;compartment under the floor has a lid, your stuff stays securely out of sight, but it's always there when you need it. The tray is just one more thoughtful, family-friendly design touch in Traverse.&nbsp;

The vehicle's distinctive side styling lines flow into a roof-mounted rear spoiler that adds a sporty flair to the sleek exterior design.
