7. Protected and Connected with OnStar®3 Including Automatic Crash Response. In a collision, vehicle sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor and relay critical crash details. The Advisor is immediately connected into your vehicle and can request that emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location, even if you can’t respond. Standard for the first six months.

8. Available Blind Spot Mirrors. Designed to enhance visibility along the sides of the vehicle, this forward-thinking feature is just one more way Traverse helps surround you in safety.
