GMC Acadia 2017 Owner’s Manual

This comprehensive PDF file contains the complete, original owner’s manual for the all-new 2017 GMC Acadia. For the 2017 model year, GMC introduced the second-generation Acadia, completely redesigning it to be a slightly smaller, significantly lighter, and more agile midsize crossover compared to its full-size predecessor. This detailed guide is absolutely essential for owners to fully utilize the vehicle’s new interior configurations, understand its advanced active safety features, and perform the necessary preventative maintenance to keep this refined family hauler running smoothly.

The manual covers the following key topics in detail:

  • Vehicle Overview and Seating: A detailed introduction to the newly downsized exterior and the highly configurable interior. It provides crucial instructions on maximizing cargo space by utilizing the fold-flat second and third-row seats, accommodating up to seven passengers. Most importantly, it extensively details safety systems, including proper seatbelt usage, the advanced airbag system, the Rear Seat Reminder, and the correct installation of child safety seats using the LATCH system.
  • Instruments and Controls: A full breakdown of the modernized dashboard layout. It explains every warning light on the gauge cluster, how to operate the exterior lighting, and how to use the steering wheel-mounted controls to safely operate the cruise control and the customizable digital Driver Information Center (DIC).
  • Comfort and Technology: Detailed instructions for operating the interior convenience features designed for modern family travel. It covers the automatic climate control systems, the factory audio systems, and provides a comprehensive overview of the updated GMC IntelliLink touchscreen infotainment system, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
  • Driving, Towing, and Safety: Essential best practices for starting and driving the vehicle. It thoroughly explains the operation of the automatic transmission and the Traction Select system, which allows the driver to switch between FWD, AWD (if equipped), Sport, Snow, and Tow/Haul modes. Furthermore, it details the fuel-saving Auto Stop/Start system (on the 2.5L engine) and advanced safety aids like Forward Collision Alert and Lane Keep Assist.
  • Vehicle Care and Maintenance: Step-by-step scheduled maintenance guidance utilizing the GM Oil Life System. It includes instructions for checking vital fluids on the new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder or the revised 3.6-liter V6 engine, checking tire pressures, replacing cabin and engine air filters, deciphering the under-hood and interior fuse box diagrams, and handling roadside emergencies.

Whether you need to figure out how to disable the Auto Stop/Start feature, pair your phone to IntelliLink, or utilize the Traction Select dial for winter driving, this manual is a vital resource for mastering your second-generation 2017 GMC Acadia.
