3634903

This is a special bulletin to introduce the 2014 Chevrolet SS, Chevrolet’s first V-8 rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since 1996. The new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver performance on the street and on the track. The purpose of this bulletin is to help the Service and Sales Department Personnel become familiar with the new vehicle's features and describe the action the Service Department Personnel will need to take to ensure that they are able to fully service this vehicle. Vehicle Overview

The SS has staggered front and rear wheels, which are pushed out to the corners, enhancing the sporting, muscular stance of the vehicle. Up front, the hood features a subtle “power bulge” hinting at the capability of the engine underneath. At the rear, the tapered, tear-drop shape improves aerodynamic performance. Premium features include jewel-like chrome accents, standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and light-emitting diode (LED) daytime running lights. Along the vehicle’s sides, a character line extends from the hood to the trunk lid, helping create a classic wedge shape by further accentuating the planted appearance and muscular sheet metal. The vehicle tapers at the rear, with the C-pillar flowing into the rear compartment lid, improving aerodynamic performance. Bright dual-exhaust tips put an exclamation mark on the rear design, while delivering the throaty note performance enthusiasts expect from their vehicle. The SS is offered in five exterior colors: Silver Ice Metallic, Red Hot 2, Phantom Black, Heron White and Mystic Green Metallic. The SS interior is offered exclusively in black with standard leather seating surfaces and eight-way power with power lumbar adjustable front bucket seats, with additional side bolstering that hug the driver and front passenger in tight-handling situations. The SS emblem is prominently stitched onto the soft-touch instrument panel which features two types of chrome finishes – a satin gloss and bright chrome. At night, the interior is illuminated by ice-blue ambient lighting. Chevrolet’s next-generation MyLink infotainment system is standard on the SS and is accessed via an 8-inch diagonal color touch screen. The SS benefits from the proven, race-tested, global rear-wheel drive architecture that is the foundation for the Camaro, Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle and ’s VF Commodore. It is powered by the 6.2L V-8, delivering an SAE certified 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb.-ft. of torque (563 Nm), and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually using the TapShift® controls mounted on the steering wheel. Handling is optimized with a nearly 50/50 weight distribution and a low center of gravity – attributes made possible by using an aluminum hood and rear compartment lid, that are 30 percent lighter than traditional steel panels. With an aggressive 3.27 final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet SS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 5 seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans on the market. To ensure it turns and stops as well as it accelerates, the SS features a sport-tuned chassis, electric power steering (EPS), an antilock brake system (ABS) with standard Brembo front brakes and staggered size ultra-high performance summer-only Bridgestone tires and polished forged aluminum alloy wheels. Roadside Assistance As the owner of a new Chevrolet, the vehicle is automatically enrolled in the Chevrolet Roadside Assistance program for 5 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km) at no expense to the owner. For assistance call 1-800-243-8872; (Text Telephone (TTY): 1-888-889-2438). Service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

3512027

Only those oils displaying the dexos1™ trademark and a registered trademark logo on the front label of the container meet the demanding performance requirements and stringent quality standards set forth in the dexos1™ specification. Look on the front label for either of the registered trademark logos shown above and the 11 digit alphanumeric dexos® license number on the back label to identify an authorized, licensed dexos1™ engine oil. Unless an oil package displays these two markings, the engine oil is not an authentic, licensed dexos® product and is not recommended for use in GM vehicles. The dexos1™ specification was uniquely designed to complement the exacting requirements of GM's advanced engine technology. The specification has gone through an extensive developmental and testing process. It requires a number of proprietary tests that are not included in current industry standards and sets performance criteria at a level that exceeds many current standards. The result is a high performance fluid providing significant wear protection, improved piston cleanliness, a reduction in volatility and oil consumption, enhanced aeration control for improved fuel efficiency, and better oxidation properties. Notice: Failure to use the recommended engine oil and correct viscosity or its equivalent can result in engine damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Check with your dealer or service provider on whether the oil is approved to the dexos 1™ specification. Viscosity Recommendation Notice: DO NOT use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. ACDelco Dexos 1™ SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the 6.2L engine. Cold Temperature Operation: In an area of extreme cold, where the temperature is colder than −29°C (−20°F), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely cold temperatures. Refer to this website for dexos 1™ information about the different licensed brands that are currently available: http://www.gmdexos.com Engine / Transmission

Front Suspension Multi-link MacPherson strut; direct-acting stabilizer bar; progressive-rate coil springs; fully adjustable camber, caster and toe. A forward-mounted steering rack and dual lower links with individual ball joints at the outer ends. A hydraulically damped bushing is used on the forward end of the tension link for improved ride isolation. Rear Suspension Multi-link independent system with progressive-rate coil springs over shocks; decoupled stabilizer bar and fully adjustable camber and toe. It has high lateral stiffness for handling through three lateral ball joints per side with improved longitudinal compliance. A rubber isolated suspension frame isolates the body from road imperfections and drivetrain vibrations. Electric Power Steering (EPS) The variable-assist electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering is optimized for sport driving. The system is also calibrated to detect constant driver steering wheel load due to factors such as road camber and crosswind. The system will compensate to reduce steering effort to a more neutral level and lessen potential driver fatigue. EPS does not use power steering fluid, and regular maintenance is not required. If power steering assist is lost due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered, but it may require increased effort. The SS has a turning circle, curb-to-curb of 37.4 ft (11.4 m). Brembo Performance Front Aluminum Brake Calipers / Brake Features Standard 4-wheel, four-channel antilock brake system (ABS), front Brembo aluminum 4-piston calipers with ventilated 14-inch (355-mm) two-piece rotors and solid 12.7-inch (324-mm) rear rotors. The Brembo aluminum brake calipers provide increased stiffness to reduce fluid displacement and caliper deformation without adding weight, reducing brake wear and providing superior braking performance. The brake system integrates ABS, ESC and TCS for the following added features: – Electronic Brake Force Distribution: Electronic Brake Force Distribution optimizes control of front and rear brake pressure on all road surfaces and under all vehicle loading conditions. – Electronic Brake Assist: Electronic Brake Assist senses how hard and fast a driver hits the brake pedal and gives extra braking assistance, if required. Tires-Wheels

3637940 Notice: The 2014 SS is equipped with summer-only performance tires, which should not be used for driving in winter conditions. Doing so will adversely affect vehicle safety, performance and durability. Advise the customer that they should consult with their dealer for details regarding winter tire availability and the proper seasonal tire selection. The SS uses ultra-high-performance summer-only Bridgestone tires - 245/40ZR19 on the front, mounted on 19 x 8.5-inch polished forged aluminum alloy wheels and 275/35ZR19 on the rear, mounted on 19 x 9-inch polished forged aluminum alloy wheels. Tire Rotation: Tires should be rotated every 7,500 mi (12,000 km). The SS has different size tires and wheels and they should not be rotated front to rear. Use a side-to-side rotation pattern only when rotating front and rear tires. Spare Tire (Option) Depending on the equipment ordered, the SS may come with a full size 245/40ZR19 spare tire. This spare tire is the size that comes as original equipment on the front of the vehicle. ⇒ If a flat tire occurs on the rear of the vehicle and the spare tire is installed, a repaired or replacement 275/35ZR19 tire must be installed on the rear of the vehicle as soon as possible. Electric Parking Brake (EPB) Electric Parking Brake (EPB)

3640047 The vehicle has an Electric Parking Brake (EPB). The switch is on the center console. The EPB can always be activated, even if the ignition is OFF. To prevent draining the battery, avoid repeated cycles of the EPB when the engine is not running. EPB Apply To apply the EPB: 1. Be sure the vehicle is at a complete stop. 2. Lift up the EPB switch momentarily.

The red parking brake status light will flash and then stay ON once the EPB is fully applied. If the red parking brake status light flashes continuously, then the EPB is only partially applied or there is a problem with the EPB. EPB Release To release the EPB: 1. Place the ignition in the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position. 2. Apply and hold the brake pedal. 3. Push down momentarily on the EPB switch. The EPB is released when the red parking brake status light is OFF. If the amber parking brake warning light is ON, release the EPB by pushing down on the EPB switch and holding it down. Continue to hold the switch until the red parking brake status light is OFF. EPB Automatic Release The EPB will automatically release if the vehicle is running, placed into gear, and an attempt is made to drive away. Avoid rapid acceleration when the EPB is applied, to preserve parking brake lining life. Sport Shift Mode

Sport Shift Mode Sport Shift mode can be selected where maximum responsiveness is required. When operated in Sport Shift mode, the transmission will delay upshifts and allow earlier downshifts. In addition, the transmission can sense enthusiastic driving, at which point it may delay upshifting and downshift earlier when braking. This is designed to maximize vehicle performance. To activate sport shift mode: 1. Move the shift lever to D (Drive).

3640156 2. Push the shift lever to the right, and the S will illuminate. Sport Mode ON is displayed on the DIC. DO NOT move the shift lever to + (Plus) or − (Minus), otherwise Active Select (A/S) mode will be enabled. 3. To return to Normal Shift mode, move the shift lever left, to D (Drive). Sport Mode OFF is displayed on the DIC. Manual Mode / Active Select (A/S) Mode Active Select (A/S) mode allows gears to be selected manually. It can also provide engine braking by selecting the appropriate lower gear on a steep downhill grade. To enable A/S mode: 1. Move the shift lever to D (Drive). 2. Push the shift lever to the right, and the S will illuminate. 3. Shift to the required gear: Notice: After changing the gear and releasing the shift lever, it returns to the center position on the right side of the selector. 3.1. To shift up a gear, briefly push the lever forward toward the + (Plus) and release it. 3.2. To shift down a gear, briefly pull the lever rearward toward the − (Minus) and release it. 4. To disable A/S mode and return to Normal Shift mode, push the shift lever to the left, to position D (Drive). The D will illuminate and is displayed on the DIC. 5. To disable A/S mode and return to Sport Shift mode, hold the shift lever in the + (Plus) position for more than one second. The S will illuminate and is displayed on the DIC. Alternatively, the TapShift® paddles on the steering wheel can be used to shift to the required gear. Temporary Active Select (A/S) Mode A/S can also be operated from D (Drive) using the TapShift® steering wheel paddles only. With the vehicle in motion, briefly pulling the + (Plus) or − (Minus) TapShift® paddles at any time will engage Temporary A/S mode. StabiliTrak® — Traction Control System (TCS)

Notice: StabiliTrak® and TCS turns ON automatically, every time the vehicle is started and begins to move. The vehicle has StabiliTrak® an electronic stability control system and the traction control system (TCS). These systems assist the driver in maintaining control and help limit wheel slip, especially on slippery road conditions. StabiliTrak® activates when the vehicle senses a difference between the intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak® selectively applies braking pressure to any one of the vehicle wheel brakes to assist the driver in keeping the vehicle on the intended path. TCS activates if it senses that any of the drive wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, TCS applies the brakes to the spinning wheels and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin. Rainsense™ Wipers

With Rainsense™ wipers, a sensor near the top center of the windshield detects the amount of water on the windshield and controls the frequency of the windshield wiper. The driver must adjust the sensitivity of the Rainsense feature, using the wiper intermittent timer control. Keep this area of the windshield clear of debris to allow for best system performance. Electrical Architecture

Global Diagnostic System 2 (GDS 2) The 2014 SS is utilizing GM’s Global A electrical architecture, which is common with the Buick Encore, LaCrosse, Regal and Verano, the Cadillac SRX, ATS and XTS, the , Cruze, Equinox, Impala, Malibu, Orlando (Canada), Sonic, Spark, Trax, Volt and the GMC Terrain. This architecture requires the use of the Global Diagnostic System 2 (GDS 2) software and the Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) module. Navigation Path to Select the Vehicle When Using SPS to Reprogram a Control Module Because the Chevrolet SS is built in Australia, the navigation path used to select the vehicle, when using SPS to reprogram a control module will be slightly different.

The vehicle has the following eight airbags: • A frontal airbag for the driver. • A frontal airbag for the front outboard passenger. • A knee airbag for the driver. • A knee airbag for the front outboard passenger. • A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver. • A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the front outboard passenger. • A roof-rail airbag for the driver and the passenger seated directly behind the driver. • A roof-rail airbag for the front outboard passenger and the passenger seated directly behind the front outboard passenger. Auto Defog Auto Defog Operation When set to ON, the front defog will automatically react to temperature and humidity conditions that may cause fogging. When those conditions are detected, the climate control system may adjust to outside air supply and turn ON the air conditioner. If the climate control system does not detect possible window fogging, it returns to normal operation. Auto Defog may be turned ON or OFF in Vehicle Personalization. Reverse Tilt Mirrors

The outside mirrors have a reverse tilt feature. This feature tilts the outside mirrors to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This allows the driver to view the curb for parallel parking. The mirrors return to their original position when the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), the ignition is turned OFF, or if the vehicle reverse speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). This feature can be turned ON or OFF through the Driver Information Center (DIC). Automatic Parking Assist (APA)

3637958

If equipped, the automatic parking assist (APA) system searches for and steers the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spots. When using APA, the driver must still shift gears, and control the brakes and accelerator. The driver information center (DIC) and audible beeps help to guide parking maneuvers. The APA system searches for and steers the vehicle into parallel or perpendicular parking spots. The system is available when the vehicle speed is less than 18 mph (30 km/h). Press the APA button (1) to enable the system to begin searching for a space that is large enough to park the vehicle in. The system cannot detect whether it is a legal parking space. If equipped with perpendicular parking mode, press and hold the APA button during the search process to switch the APA parking mode between perpendicular and parallel parking. APA searches for parking spaces to the right of the vehicle. To search for a parking space to the left, turn ON the left turn signal. After completely passing a large enough space bordered by two vehicles or other objects, an audible beep occurs and a red symbol displays in the DIC. APA will instruct the vehicle to stop once a large enough space is found. Follow the instructions in the DIC. When instructed to drive in reverse, shift to R (Reverse) to engage automatic steering. Check surroundings and continue braking or accelerating as needed, and be prepared to stop to avoid vehicles, pedestrians, or objects. If the vehicle is in R (Reverse), but does not steer into the expected space, this may be because the system is maneuvering the vehicle into a previously detected space. If the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), APA is automatically disengaged and Automatic Steering will turn OFF. A DIC progress arrow displays the status of the parking maneuver. Depending on the space size, additional maneuvers may be required, and there will be additional instructions. When changing gears, allow the automatic steering to complete before continuing the parking maneuver. Upon completion of a successful maneuver, APA will beep and display a PARKING COMPLETE message. Place the vehicle in P (Park). The APA system does not need service. Safety and Crash Avoidance The SS has a network of cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors to help the driver avoid crashes by improving their vision and awareness of road hazards, even braking automatically if sensors predict the vehicle is at risk of crashing. The SS does not have a Safety Alert Seat (SAS). The technologies are described in the following: Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System Notice: FCA is a warning system only and does not apply the brakes. This advanced and active safety system is standard and employs a digital camera to help drivers avoid front-end collisions. It is designed to help minimize the risk of collisions commonly caused by driver error, distraction and drowsiness. The high-resolution digital camera is mounted on the windshield, ahead of the rear view mirror. The system looks for vehicles ahead and uses the vehicle’s Head-Up Display (HUD) to warn drivers if they are following another vehicle too closely (tailgating). It will also trigger audible alerts if they are approaching another vehicle too rapidly and a collision appears to be imminent. Audio systems are muted to make sure the alert is heard. When your vehicle approaches another detected vehicle too rapidly, the red FCA display will flash on the windshield. Also, rapid high-pitched beeps will sound from the front. FCA detects vehicles within a distance of approximately 197 ft (60 m) and operates at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h).

3638587 The FCA control button is on the steering wheel. Press the FCA button to set the FCA timing to Far, Medium, Near or OFF. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system is a camera-based lane detection system that uses a camera sensor mounted on the windshield ahead of the rearview mirror to detect the lane markings. LDW warns the driver of unintentional lane departures and may provide a warning if the vehicle is crossing a lane without using a turn signal. Notice: LDW will not warn if the turn signal is ON or if a sharp maneuver is made. If LDW is turned ON, the LDW indicator will appear green if the vehicle is traveling greater than 35 mph (56 km/h) and the system detects a left or right lane marking. If the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking without using the turn signal, this indicator will change to amber and flash. In addition, three beeps will occur. 3638650 To turn LDW ON or OFF, press the LDW control button on the steering wheel. Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) Using radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle, the system looks for vehicles in the blind zone areas and indicates their presence by illuminating symbols in the outside rear view mirrors.

2866901 The sensors cover a detection zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, approximately 11 ft (3.5 m) and extends rearward approximately 16 ft (5 m). The height of the zone is approximately between 1.5 ft (0.5 m) and 6 ft (2 m) off the ground. Rear Vision Camera (RVC) — Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) When the vehicle is in R (Reverse), the Rear Vision Camera (RVC) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) may help the driver to avoid a crash or to reduce crash damage while backing and parking. 3638767 When the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse), the RVC displays an image of the area behind the vehicle in the center stack display. When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), the screen returns to the previous content, after a short delay. With RCTA, a triangle with an arrow may also display on the RVC screen to warn of traffic coming from either direction. This system detects objects coming from up to 65 ft (20 m) from the left or right side behind the vehicle. When an object is detected beeps sound from the left or right side, depending on the direction of the detected vehicle. Rear Park Assist / Front Park Assist With Rear Park Assist and Front Park Assist, as the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 5 mph (8 km/h) the sensors on the bumpers detect objects up to 8 ft (2.5 m) behind and 4 ft (1.2 m) in front of the vehicle within a zone 10 in (25 cm) high off the ground and below bumper level. These detection distances may be less during warmer or humid weather. An obstacle is indicated by audible beeps. The interval between the beeps becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than 12 in (30 cm) the beeping is a continuous tone for five seconds. Beeps for Front Parking Assist are higher pitched than for Rear Parking Assist.

3640071 The Park Assist button near the shift lever is used to turn ON or OFF the Front and Rear Parking Assist. The indicator light next to the button turns ON when the features are ON and turns OFF when the features have been disabled. Automatic Interior Lights / Automatic Flashing Hazard Lights / Automatic Door Unlock

The interior lights and the flashing hazard lights are turned ON automatically after a collision. The automatic door unlock feature commands the doors to unlock after a collision to assist occupants with vehicle exit. Bluetooth® System and Website Path to Device Compatibility
