Hidden Chevy Traverse Settings and Features! 

I did miss it on this video! But I do have that feature/setting on my Silverado video check it out!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uykLsFXG0C8.html

Do we have to program the key fob to get this feature? I just tried it on my 2023 traverse and it didn’t work. Thanks for this video. Had no idea there was a key on the fob!!

It’s in settings within the radio.

Does any of this work for the 2018 Chevy traverse LS?

@sharkcity6607 some yes, the quickest way to find out is to try and access vehicle settings through the radio.

The vehicle will warn fob missing only one time when the drivers door is opened and closed with key fob away from vehicle.

Pull the radio fuse and put it back in after a few seconds. Should reset the radio.

If that happens I would suggest a drain an fill! DO NOT DO A FLUSH! DO a drain an fill! Honestly you should drain an drop the transmission pan clean the pan an install an add new fluid! I will be doing this to my wifes traverse! I had to do my 2020 silverado because it had a Shudder an it fixed the problem

I am not certain about all 2018 to 2022 models but in my 2023 LT cloth all-wheel drive, beside the parking brake button there is another button with the letter A and a circle around it. I used to think this was for Avengers mode since it is the same symbol that they use in the movie. But unfortunately there is no Avengers mode. It is just an auto stop override button. Apparently it activates every time you turn on the ignition and you have to manually shut it off. In my 2018 Ford Escape I pulled the button out of the dash and cut a thin piece of metal with tin snips, I inserted it into the internals of the button. It fooled the system into thinking I was pressing the button as soon as the vehicle was started. So it was essentially permanently disabled just the way I wanted it. I also tried a piece of cardboard but it did not seem to work, it had to be metallic. Since this is only my second day with the Traverse I have not tried it on this vehicle. Since the Auto Stop start seems to be much less aggressive on the new Traverse than it was on the 2018 escape and the 2019 Chevy Cavalier that I rented I am going to try to live with it for a while and single-handedly save the entire planet. But if it begins to aggravate me I will definitely be working on a permanent override. My major gripe about Auto Stop start is twofold. First off it delays your vehicle motivation from a stop which for instance in New York City rush hour traffic will allow two or three cars to cut you off every time Auto Stop engages. My second complaint is usually that I do not like warm air blowing on me in the summer just because I'm sitting at a stoplight. The Traverse still has problem number one. However it does seem that they have installed and override in situations where the air conditioner is running, so the engine continues to run if the AC is on. At least that's my experience so far. As I said, if it becomes a nuisance it will be permanently disabled.

Yes, unplugging a specific hood wire

Yes, come to a complete stop, switch to L. Push the plus on the shifter, until you see a 9 on your dash board. This shuts off that auto start option. You have to do this every time you leave for a drive. Hope this helps.

@@markvon9727 And the specific hood wire is ????????????????????????????????

@@quantumss There's a yt video on it

I definitely miss the beeping on the 2023 Traverse. There is a addendum on the vehicle which states that the beeping sound is not available while backing up. The salesman that I spoke to said that there is still a chip shortage due to covid and therefore that feature is not available in the chip they are currently using. I did some further research and it does appear that it can be installed at a later date by the dealer, win an up grade kit becomes available. I'm sure it will not be free. I was also hoping there was a way to turn an audible alarm on for lane change notification as well but apparently this vehicle only beeps when your seat belt is not engaged or when the power liftgate is in operation. Bummer. The Camry and Mazda both have the audible feature for lane change and backing up, I'm not sure why GM couldn't get the chip

Find the radio fuse, pull it out and put it back. This will reset the radio manually and it should fix it.

There is a tsb for this issue, apparently moisture gets into a sensor that’s in the back and it disables the audio from working. Check that, I had to replace it twice

Could be a lose connector on the brain box which is normally at the kick panel on the passenger side of the car!

My second day with the 2023 Traverse and I was kind of shocked to find that the fuse panel is behind the rear wheel on the driver side. The way I accidentally discovered this was because the cover was halfway dislodged. When the cars arrive at the dealership certain fuses are removed so the technician that preps the car for sale has to install the missing fuses. Apparently the lazy mechanic pulled a couple of wires out or possibly had to terminate them as part of the preparation and left a couple of cables hanging out into the cargo area. But no worries, he just slammed the cover back into place and bent the heck out of it.

Sounds like it's a lose ground or grounding out somewhere! Check for lose grounds! Basically wires that looks bolted to the block somewhere see if they are lose

Might need calibration, it’s soemthing I’ve seen i just got a 2017 a week ago and I’ve been deep into investigating every little thing lol

@@ItsJustDayana took my truck to Chevy dealer, just got it past last Saturday after they had it for a month. They didn’t know what was wrong with it. So they just put in a used transmission

Sounds like a lose ground wire on the engine block

It's on demo mode in the settings. You have to change that then it will store all your phone info

@@jackiedemarco7886 Thank you dear. It is correct 😀🤷. ❤️

In all of the information I have searched I cannot find any reference to cylinder deactivation on the Traverse v6. I would think if it was there I would be able to search the internet for information about it. There are some generic articles about General Motors version of cylinder deactivation mode but I can't find any reference to the Traverse

Your welcome! 🙏

I have not investigated this yet in the Traverse. The fake seat belt clips are available on Amazon for about $8 a pair and I carry one in my luggage always, in case I happen to rent a car with a chime that refuses to ever stop.😂😂 At least in the Traverse it stops chiming after a couple of minutes, but of course it's still no fun. What I can tell you is that in my Chrysler 200 I had the same irritation. I was looking for a way to override it. I made the mistake of assuming the seat belt was completing a circuit and somehow switching off the chime. To my surprise it was actually designed as a closed circuit. So when you insert the seat belt it opens the circuit so no power flows through it. The bottom line is that basically unplugging the yellow wire in the wiring harness under the seat, I never heard the seatbelt chime again. 😁 So I would assume that it can indeed be done on your vehicle as well. I would suggest to start by trying to trace any wires coming from the seat belt clip and to play around with connecting and disconnecting those . If you cannot see to Trace them you might have to remove the seat.

Smart ass haters 😡🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow hater.

Exactly none of this stuff was hidden. Only hidden for grandmas or something.

@mariojosecanelasquintana3585 Wow, aren't you special.

I think it depends on what trim level you get. It's definitely not available in the LS and might possibly be available in the LT with a specific upgrade package. But the 2023 premium that I test row did have it. I just did not need it so I got the LT cloth with heated seats which has a lot of nice features

No, not standard, they are optional. Now, go back in the basement and be quiet.
