Introducing the All New 2009 Chevrolet Traverse

Take a look around traverse, and you’ll see a vehicle that is designed to raise the bar in the crossover segment. To begin with, Traverse offers capability without compromise- the type of everyday usability that allows you to carry up to eight very comfortably on one trip and plenty of cargo the next. And where other vehicles make you choose between power and efficiency or size and agility, that’s never the case with Traverse. Equally important, you’ll always be surrounded in safety. Our engineers took a 360-degree approach when it came to protecting you and your passengers. Finally, the unmatched style of Traverse allows it to stand out from the crowd. Inside, outside and from any angle, this is a beautifully designed vehicle.
Useful Never Looked So Good
· Seating for Either Seven or Eight is one part of Traverse’s capability. Seven-passenger seating is highlighted by first-row bucket seats, second-row captain’s chairs and a third-row bench. Eight-passenger seating includes first-row buckets and second- and third- row bench seats. In either case, our bench seats comfortably accommodate up to three adults. The Smart Slide second-row seats allow easy access to the third row.
· Heated and Cooled Bucket Seats for the driver and front passenger are standard in LTZ, providing the ultimate in comfort regardless of the temperature outside
· Convenient Storage Features are found throughout, including an auxiliary glove box above the centre of the instrument panel and a cargo tray under the rear floor
· The Spacious Console between the front bucket seats provides room for cell phone. MP3 players and more, while a second-row console, available in LTZ and shown below, brings rear passengers that same level of convenience
· A Power- Remote Liftgate, standard on select models, makes it exceptionally easy to load and unload the rear of Traverse.
Safety Before. Safety During. Safety After.
· Six Airbags
To help provide a safe haven, every Traverse has six standard air bags
o Head-curtain side-impact air bags for all three rows, includes rollover sensors
o Driver and front-passenger frontal air bags
o Driver and front-passenger thorax side-impact air bags
· OnStar
An OnStar Advisor is ready to help in a variety of situations, whether you’ve locked your keys in your car or you have a flat tire with OnStar’s Automatic Crash Response, if you’re involved in a collision – even if the air bags don’t deploy – your vehicle can automatically send a signal to OnStar where an Advisor will attempt to contact you to see if you need help, in addition, if a warning light should illuminate, an advisor can inform you whether or not immediate service is necessary.
· Traction Control
To enhance traction and help keep you going, this feature uses wheel-speed sensors to automatically detect front-wheel slippage and act to limit wheel spin on most slippery surfaces.
· StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System
StabiliTrak improved vehicle stability, particularly during emergency maneuvers. When StabiliTrak senses the vehicle’s response is not matching your steering input, it makes small, individual adjustments to help enhance control. Bottom-line: StabiliTrak is there to help get you back on track.
· All-Wheel Drive
Available all-wheel drive (AWD) provides added confidence in rainy-snowy, icy and muddy conditions because the system automatically engages when front-wheel slippage is detected. In normal conditions, the on-demand AWD system delivers a majority of the power to the front wheels. When conditions limit the amount of traction, power is transferred automatically to the rear wheels as needed.
