Thanks for your 10 things you should know....I just got my 2022 Equinox and don't have a clue regarding may features since my last new vehicle was a 2007 Chevy Silverado. This morning I left to go to the post office and it started raining.....I didn't have a clue. Hope you have more video's I can watch. Thanks
I had to watch a video to learn how to turn the wipers on! Was not fun getting caught in the rain, I did get it to turn on 3 times then go off, so kept doing that!
Awesome! My 2023 Equinox is scheduled to arrive my dealership on December 24th. I knew about the 3/4 setting on the liftgate but I did NOT know that it can be programmed that way. Thanks man, very well done sir!
@Cars With Kyle can you do a cars with Kyle tips and tricks about the 2023 chevy equinox ls specifically? Hehehe I don't have some of those features and I would love a secret tip or two if I haven't found them all yet. 😂 I like the umbrella spot. It's adorable.
My company car is a 2023 Equinox. Thanks for the info. It helps a lot. AND, I love your hair! I can work all morning on my hair and it would never look that good.
I thought the Chevrolet Equinox was awesome before this video, but after watching this - its absolutely amazing! Thank you Kyle, very enlightening video! 💯
Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen all the new features on cars. I had no idea there were so many new things. Thanks for all of the helpful information!
I bought 23 Equinox, I know I have those safety features, but dealer doesn’t care to explain and I am too lazy to read book, her on this video well explained short, straight to target! Thank you so so much!
GREAT VIDEO, I'm Thinking About Buying This same Vehicle On Friday, I've Watched Dozens of Other Videos AND Yours Were Very Detailed AND Better Than The Rest....
@@charlesaquiline3561 I believe either turned on or in the accessory position for it to stay on. You just press and hold the start button without your foot on the brake for 10sec to put into accessory mode.
Hi Kyle. Excellent video. Just followed it to get acquainted with my new Equinox LT (2023). One question- how do you set the distance for the distance following feature? Thank you
Hey Calvert! I apologize for the delayed response! On the left side of the steering wheel, the button in the center of the cruise controls will adjust the follow distance for adaptive cruise or the forward collision alert sensitivity from far, medium to near if you do not have adaptive cruise control.
Nice video , I have a 2020 equinox, how do you keep the truck locked after you lock the car , I noticed that when turn off the car after you lock the doors the truck can still be open even after you lock the doors
Kyle, Bought a 2024 Equinox LT and enjoying it very much. But how do I find the external temp? I can't seem to find it in the manual. I'm sure it must have it.
Hey Kyle.. super helpful video. I have question about Bluetooth connectivity in my wife's 2023 Equinox RS. The Bluetooth for her galaxy s23 is not connecting & shows contacts, recent calls & favorites unavailable on dash screen when scrolling with steering wheel controls. Furthermore, it only allows for Android auto to show contacts, recent calls, or favorites. How do I get my wife's galaxy s23 to connect to Bluetooth so the steering wheel functions can access her phone & music thru Bluetooth? Signed.. frustrated in Cali 😪😮💨 . Thanks
I am so sorry for late reply! It sounds like her contacts were not allowed when first pairing it with Bluetooth. You should be able to go into phone's Bluetooth settings and click the ⚙️ next to MyChevrolet and allow contact access. Otherwise, forget the device on both the phone and vehicle, then repair and allow contacts access when it pops up when pairing. Hopefully this works for you! 🤞😁
There is a reason the Equinox is Chevrolet's best selling SUV! Great safety, awesome tech, excellent efficiency & very versatile! Glad you found some use in this!
Thinking about getting a new one . I have a '16 and have noticed the back cargo area is smaller with the 23 I looked at. Talked to a salesperson and got the dimensions and it is.
That is true, but only slightly smaller! 2016 = 31.5 ft³ with seats up & 63.7 ft³ with seats down. 2023 = 29.9 ft³ with seats up & 63.9 ft³ with seats down. They have changed a lot since 2016 with the Equinox in regards to the exterior styling, interior design and functionality, new technology and also improved the efficiency with a newer engine as well! If you do get one, let me know if you have any questions with it!
Kyle I have a new Equinox with the 500 miles at this point. Driving at 73mph on the interstate the engine light came on and the display said ESC after a few minutes the engine light went off. But the vehicle would not accelerate. Mike
Honestly Mike, I would talk to the service department at local dealership for this. I'm not sure why there would be an issue with the Electronic Stability Control system. Could have just been a small bug
Thanks for the tips!!! I have the Chevy equinox 2022 premiere. When does the beep or haptic warn me when I’m driving? Shouldn’t work when I’m changing lanes or is it just for front or rear sensing? I read my manual, but couldn’t figure it out can you please help
My wife and I are the same we have a 2019 GMC terrain denali and we love the start stop feature it was having an issue but found out it was about the battery and had to get it replaced
Very nice! Yes it is definitely a great feature to help save the planet & your wallet a little 😁 That does make sense with the battery though. Most likely it was the original, which could be up tp 4yrs old now. Glad you figured it out!
Thank you, happy you enjoyed it! The Surround Vision with front dacing camera is not available on LS models. It is part of the Advanced Safety Package available on LT & RS as well as the Driver Confidence 3 Package on Premier models.
Thank you for this video, it was helpful. We had a tank of gas siphoned out of our 2023 Equinox, is there any security feature I can turn on, that alarms us if someone is trying to steal our gas?
Glad to hear!! Unfortunately there is not anything on the vehicle for that. However, if that's a common issue in your area, I would suggest getting a locking gas cap from a parts store or amazon for it!
Glad you found it useful! For the remote start: You need to press lock on the key fob once, then hold the circle button for 2-3sec and the vehicle will remote start. When you get in, you still need to put foot on the brake and push start button so vehicle knows you have the keys and ready to go.
@@CarsWithKyle so many great features on this 1 and that’s not on my set of keys. Love Chevrolet but that’s an important feature for it not to be included.
I am sorry for the delayed response!! Glad it helped explain some things for you! The Equinox does not have selectable drive modes beyond if you get an AWD model which you can turn AWD on/off.
Hi Kyle, I got my chevy Equinox on December for my birthday and weddings anniversary in one, bu the seat belt is very annoying. Can the height of it be adjusted?
Looks like the 2023 Equinox does not have an outdoor temp display? I was not able to find it on mine, very handy feature at times. Your video was HUGE, much better than thumbing thru the entire manual to get familiar.
Hi Kyle! Awesome video, thanks for sharing!! I just got my 2022 Equinox RS, I'm looking for info about the hitch, looks that I need specific screwdriver to open the panel, once that is done, what is in there, what else will I need to install the hitch? I don't need wiring, just a hitch for a bike rack. Thanks for any info you could provide!!
Appreciate you and congrats on the Equinox!! Ok, so first I would double check that you do not already have the factory trailering package. If you do, there is 2 twist taps under the center of the rear fascia. If you need to add a hitch AND wiring I would suggest GM Part No. 85111903 - 1,500-lb.-Capacity Hitch Trailering Package ($395 + Dealer Install) If you need just the hitch, I would suggest going to etrailer.com & enter your vehicle info ($175-250) On the top one, Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2", there is an installation video. Does not seem to hard to do yourself honestly!
Once you are in Drive "D" you can press "L" to put the vehicle into a Low gear setting. I call it Limit as it limits the highest gear it will drive in. Example: Put the vehicle in Drive, then Press L. Then press the + until you see "L6" on the gear display on the lower right of the Driver Info Center. It will then only use gears 1-6, and not 7-10 on a 10-Speed Transmission.
I am sorry for the delayed response!! But yes, there are vents in the back of the center console for the rear seat passengers! The settings go ofd of the front controls and there are no seperate settings for the rear on Equinox's.
I have a question we used to own a 2006 Chevy Equinox and now we have the 2019 in the 2006 used to be able to move the seat forward and backwards and now we can't do that do you know what we need to push to do that
For the 2019s, the LS model comes with manual seats. You can get power seats available on LT models and above, controls on the outside of the seat. On Premier models you can get memory seats which are set by the buttons on the driver door. Sorry for super delayed response!
Wondering if I can connect my usb stick with my music to car ? I know there is a slot to insert it but it Does not come up in infotainment system ! I have a 2022 equinox RS
I live in Michigan and when I remote start in the morning my seats barely heat at all and when I start it when I get in, the heat seat indicator goes off. My 2021 trailblazer heated the seat great.
Hmmm I'm not sure exactly which one as you do not want it to be constantly drawing power even with the vehicle off. For that reason, I tapped into my 12V plug on my Infiniti when I installed my lights and front emblem as it only had power when the vehicle was in accessory mode or running.
Hello my equinox has stopped doing some of these awesome features like my rear wiper doesn't wipe when I'm going to reverse, I checked and it's on in the menu and the lane changing assistance doesn't even register that is safe for me to switch lanes. Any suggestions? At first, I didn't love my car but now it grew on me.
Hmm... that might be tricky if the setting is on and the vehicle is still not doing that feature 🤔 I would say if it is not too much trouble to re-pair your phone and re-set any settings made, to go into the Settings & select Return to Factory Settings. Afterwards, turn off the vehicle, open the driver door for at least 30sec, then close door and restart vehicle to complete the reset. Try turning setting back on in the menu and test if it works. Hopefully it does!! 🤞 If it does not, there would appear to be a more technical issue that I would recommend your local service department to diagnose & see if any updates need done to the vehicle. I know the lane departure warning system only works at speeds above 31mph and has to have a clear view of the road in front of you. If those conditions are met and the button is turned on, you should see a green lane picture in your display signaling it is reading the lanes and the system is active.
I have a 2022 Equinox RS I have a button in front of the shifter with a Parking on it. I was told it is for to turn on and off front sensors. My front sensors don't seem to work either way. Can you help me with this? Thanks Charles
Yes, the button with "P" and radar looking symbol turns on and off the parking sensors. If they are not working, I would first check your window sticker to see if your vehicle may have them currently not equipped becasue the parts shortage. If so, it should say "includes later retrofit" which will be treated like a recall and you will be notified when the chips come in & the dealership can hook them up for you!
Does the 2022 equinox have wireless android auto if it does how do you enable it ? Also the 2022 equinox is a 5 passenger vehicle why is there only 2 headrest in the rear seat area instead of 3
Hi, I have a 2022 LT with AWD. To the right of AWD button is button with P and some small lines. Can you tell me what it does? Electric Parking brake button near gear shifter.
I have 2019 premiere trim. The back up senors does not make a sound, only vibrates the seat. Is there a way to turn on audio or does it just not have audio with the senors?
YES! Sorry for delayed response! If you have not figured this out yet, go to Settings > Vehicle > Safety and their should be an option for park assist and changing the alerts method. Hopefully this helps!!
With all the talk about electric cars having an emergency unlock when the electric system is dead, does the Equinox have an emergency over ride for door locks with in electric problems in the car or in an accident. Thanks.
So, in the more common event that the key fob or car battery is dead & you need access into the vehicle: There is a little silver button on the key fob you press to pull out a physical key. You can then use the key to pry the open tab under the right side of the driver door handle to reveal a regular lock cylinder. In the event of an accident & the door won't open: Bust open windows with an emergency safety tool.
Hmmm usually the hood latch should be fairly easy to access in the middle of the hood just sliding the lever over. I know the hoods do require a little more force to latch all the way nowadays, but honestly if you think it is abnormal, I would start by taking to the service department at your local dealership to make sure its tightened down in the correct position.
How do you turn the auto lock off? When you are walking away from your car in the garage it auto locks and you have to carry your keys with you just to bring in groceries or whatever?
I have a 2023 chev equinox, I have a question, it says to change oil soon. I cannot reset it. It only has about 3900 km or less on it. So it doesn't really need an oil change. But can't get rid if the message. What am I doing wrong and how to reset. Im too old to really understand it properly.
Hello! I'm happy to help! To reset the oil life: Use the Arrows on the Right Side of the Steering Wheel to Scroll Up & Down through the Info Pages until you see "Oil Life" once you are on that page, Press And Hold the Check Mark Button in Center of those Arrows on Steering Wheel. It will Pop Up with the option to Reset for the Oil Life. Hope this is an easy fix for you! GM reccomends getting an oil change when the Oil Life shows under 20% or annually if not driven as much.
It's more of a timer, about 5 seconds or so after the key has been removed from the vehicle and the doors are shut. Only time it annoys me is when I'm filling up with gas and it locks 😅
I'm confused is this a list of features for all trims of the equinox? Because some of the features that you're showing are not available on my 2022 equinox thanks for your help
@@sheilamalone3453 left side of your steering wheel, should be a button in the middle of the cruise control buttons which allows you to change the sensitivity of the collision system!
@@sheilamalone3453 If you have the Advanced Safety Package with Adaptive Cruise Control, when cruise control is active that button will change the gap between the car ahead of you. When cruise control is off, it will change the Forward Collison Alert sensitivity. It say Gap Distance regardless of if you have Adaptive Cruise Control or not for whatever reason.
I believe it is in the Settings > Vehicle > not sure 100% which one of the top menus from here, but will be listed as "Chime Volume" *Copied from other response just so everyone who clicks sees answer*
Hey John, I have heard about it before. I know it can cause issues with the Nav system if you remove the SD card while the vehicle is running. As far as a fix, let me check with service & ask what they've done previously! Will report back shortly!
The right side is volume, up and down. The left side is radio favorites, or if you're like me and listen to music from your phone, next and back for the songs.
@Cars With Kyle thank u I didn't want to touch it just in case it was some emergency type of stuff lol two other questions what is the green little car that is on the dashboard? and what is the 3 red dots with the beeping noise mean? And thank so much for your video it helped me to navigate my vehicle. My other one got stolen (kia soul) so I had to get something with the on star fixings lol
@OpticalXray Absolutely, happy to help! The green car symbol means your vehicle senses a car in front of you and you're at a safe distance. If you get too close it will go yellow, and if it thinks you're approaching too quickly, it can flash those red lights on the window, beep and sometimes even apply brakes to avoid the incident! Sorry to hear about the Kia, but it sounds like you got a very nice replacement, congrats on the Equinox!
@Cars With Kyle yep the kia challenge it took about 3 weeks to get stuff back in order. You know something funny I had just increased my insurance like 6mo. Before this happened thank God. Fast forward I go to the dealership and he was like I got some kia and Before he could finish I was already shaking my head lol anyhow here now and definitely in a better place.😊 What are your thoughts on remote starts do you think it's bad for the engine or could cause damage over time?
2 options: 1. You can go to your local Chevy dealership and order a GM remote start kit, they will have to program it as well so get a quote from the service department for that at the same time. 2. Go aftermarket at either a car accessories store or even BestBuy. I got my remote start aftermarket through BestBuy last Black Friday for under $300 installed!
@@CarsWithKylepersonal experience, aftermarket starters have a unique advantage. They don’t need line of sight to start the vehicle. So if I were in your place, I’d do the aftermarket. It’s like $3-400 in my area, MN.
Green car on the dash means it sees a vehicle ahead of you and you are following it at a good distance, yellow means you are a bit close and red means you should probably hit the brakes!
Sorry for the super late reply, I hope you got it figured out by now! But if not, simply go into the clock settings and switch it from 24hr to 12hr mode!

For the 2019s, the LS model comes with manual seats. You can get power seats available on LT models and above, controls on the outside of the seat. On Premier models you can get memory seats which are set by the buttons on the driver door.
Sorry for super delayed response!
Cool video. Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Will the remote window down . Also put them back up same way ?
Thanks for this! How do I figure out how to work the entertainment screen on my 2022 Equinox?
Wondering if I can connect my usb stick with my music to car ? I know there is a slot to insert it but it Does not come up in infotainment system ! I have a 2022 equinox RS
Can u close the windows from the key fob after opening them w it?
2023 Equinox how to adjust rubber hood stops, I have a bigger gap on one side of hood ? Thanks
I am pretty sure they just twist to adjust the height of the hood stops!
I live in Michigan and when I remote start in the morning my seats barely heat at all and when I start it when I get in, the heat seat indicator goes off. My 2021 trailblazer heated the seat great.
1980s wants it hair back dude, thanks for the info though, excellent
I want to add a dash cam to the front windshield. I only want the camera powered when the vehicle in on. Which fuse would you recommend I tap ?
Hmmm I'm not sure exactly which one as you do not want it to be constantly drawing power even with the vehicle off.
For that reason, I tapped into my 12V plug on my Infiniti when I installed my lights and front emblem as it only had power when the vehicle was in accessory mode or running.
I have a dash cam in my vehicle but I use a separate li-on battery with solar cells on the dashboard. Be careful in summer! Gets too hot.
Hello my equinox has stopped doing some of these awesome features like my rear wiper doesn't wipe when I'm going to reverse, I checked and it's on in the menu and the lane changing assistance doesn't even register that is safe for me to switch lanes. Any suggestions? At first, I didn't love my car but now it grew on me.
Hmm... that might be tricky if the setting is on and the vehicle is still not doing that feature 🤔
I would say if it is not too much trouble to re-pair your phone and re-set any settings made, to go into the Settings & select Return to Factory Settings.
Afterwards, turn off the vehicle, open the driver door for at least 30sec, then close door and restart vehicle to complete the reset. Try turning setting back on in the menu and test if it works. Hopefully it does!! 🤞
If it does not, there would appear to be a more technical issue that I would recommend your local service department to diagnose & see if any updates need done to the vehicle.
I know the lane departure warning system only works at speeds above 31mph and has to have a clear view of the road in front of you.
If those conditions are met and the button is turned on, you should see a green lane picture in your display signaling it is reading the lanes and the system is active.
@Cars With Kyle thanks Kyle I will try this.
I have a 2022 Equinox RS I have a button in front of the shifter with a Parking on it. I was told it is for to turn on and off front sensors. My front sensors don't seem to work either way. Can you help me with this? Thanks Charles
Yes, the button with "P" and radar looking symbol turns on and off the parking sensors. If they are not working, I would first check your window sticker to see if your vehicle may have them currently not equipped becasue the parts shortage. If so, it should say "includes later retrofit" which will be treated like a recall and you will be notified when the chips come in & the dealership can hook them up for you!
Thank you! Why can't I use iPhone face time while driving?
Thanks for you help
Absolutely John 😁
Thanks
Does the 2022 equinox have wireless android auto if it does how do you enable it ? Also the 2022 equinox is a 5 passenger vehicle why is there only 2 headrest in the rear seat area instead of 3
Hi, I have a 2022 LT with AWD. To the right of AWD button is button with P and some small lines. Can you tell me what it does? Electric Parking brake button near gear shifter.
That's the park assist function
@@Dabishop07 😊
@Dabishop07 coming in with the save!! 👍
All these things that you mentioned are they on the 2024 equinox as well
Yes sir, this will pertain to 2024 Equinox just the same!
Does this vehicle have the Autovolume option or the Bose AudioPilot?
I have 2019 premiere trim. The back up senors does not make a sound, only vibrates the seat. Is there a way to turn on audio or does it just not have audio with the senors?
YES! Sorry for delayed response! If you have not figured this out yet, go to Settings > Vehicle > Safety and their should be an option for park assist and changing the alerts method.
Hopefully this helps!!
@@CarsWithKyle yes i did figured it out but thank you for your response!
@@DarthNico Awesome and absolutely!
Since its 1.5 turbo engine, what fuel type should put ?
Regular or premium ?
Regular Unleaded 87 Octane is what's recommended! No need for premium, but it won't hurt it if you do use that.
Thank you very much for your replay back, And what about Tahoe 2022 also regular or premium
@@DARKRAIDER85 Absolutely! And if its the 5.3L, same thing 87 Octane. If it's the 6.2L, then Premium 91 Octane is needed :)
Is there a way to have the speedometer, as well as the distance to empty, both show at the same time? Thanks!
I wish! But at the moment it is just one or the other.
If you have the8 inch display it tells you the speed limit mph and miles to empty
THANKS !
What button in my 2023 equinox to I press to keep my windows from fog when the heat is on?
With all the talk about electric cars having an emergency unlock when the electric system is dead, does the Equinox have an emergency over ride for door locks with in electric problems in the car or in an accident. Thanks.
So, in the more common event that the key fob or car battery is dead & you need access into the vehicle: There is a little silver button on the key fob you press to pull out a physical key. You can then use the key to pry the open tab under the right side of the driver door handle to reveal a regular lock cylinder.
In the event of an accident & the door won't open: Bust open windows with an emergency safety tool.
How does the heater work for the colder temperatures? I don't see any button that says heater.
No need to do anything to activate the heat besides turning the temperature up on these :)
Wow, that’s some 80s hair….love it…
Appreciate you 🤘
How do u make peeping sound louder when backing up and car is crossing behind u
I believe it is in the Settings > Vehicle > not sure 100% which one of the top menus from here, but will be listed as "Chime Volume"
@@CarsWithKyle I tried but I think it cannot be made louder or changed it sucks that Chevy does not allow u to do that weird
How do you set the Follow distance?
How to set up the entrance lights to come on when the door is opened?
Your hair is so luscious I thought it was a wig you have better hair than me
Does this car have the scan feature on the radio?
Chevy equinox LT 2023 have blind zone allert?
2023 hood latch hard to reach to open and you have to push really to close it. How to fix this ?
Hmmm usually the hood latch should be fairly easy to access in the middle of the hood just sliding the lever over. I know the hoods do require a little more force to latch all the way nowadays, but honestly if you think it is abnormal, I would start by taking to the service department at your local dealership to make sure its tightened down in the correct position.
How do you turn the auto lock off? When you are walking away from your car in the garage it auto locks and you have to carry your keys with you just to bring in groceries or whatever?
I am an Android user. Would you please do a detailed video on how to use the navigation system?
I can absolutely do that!
I have a 2023 chev equinox, I have a question, it says to change oil soon. I cannot reset it. It only has about 3900 km or less on it. So it doesn't really need an oil change. But can't get rid if the message. What am I doing wrong and how to reset. Im too old to really understand it properly.
Hello! I'm happy to help!
To reset the oil life: Use the Arrows on the Right Side of the Steering Wheel to Scroll Up & Down through the Info Pages until you see "Oil Life" once you are on that page, Press And Hold the Check Mark Button in Center of those Arrows on Steering Wheel. It will Pop Up with the option to Reset for the Oil Life.
Hope this is an easy fix for you!
GM reccomends getting an oil change when the Oil Life shows under 20% or annually if not driven as much.
@@CarsWithKyle thank you so much, big help
You are most welcome 😁
Love my ROGUE
That passive door lock actually locks the doors while I’m still standing right next to it.
It's more of a timer, about 5 seconds or so after the key has been removed from the vehicle and the doors are shut. Only time it annoys me is when I'm filling up with gas and it locks 😅
Is all thes features for all the Chevrolet Equinox mines is ls trim
This dude looking like a Thundercat!
That's a new one hahaha I love it 🦁
@@CarsWithKyle you're welcome!
I'm confused is this a list of features for all trims of the equinox? Because some of the features that you're showing are not available on my 2022 equinox thanks for your help
Most of these should apply to all trim levels.
What specific one do you have a question about and I can help?
The collision alert sensitivity does not seem to be available in my RS model
@@sheilamalone3453 left side of your steering wheel, should be a button in the middle of the cruise control buttons which allows you to change the sensitivity of the collision system!
Hmmm all that does is adjust the gap for distance for cruise control 🤷♀️
@@sheilamalone3453 If you have the Advanced Safety Package with Adaptive Cruise Control, when cruise control is active that button will change the gap between the car ahead of you. When cruise control is off, it will change the Forward Collison Alert sensitivity. It say Gap Distance regardless of if you have Adaptive Cruise Control or not for whatever reason.
How do u make the peep peep sound louder when backing up and getting close to object
I believe it is in the Settings > Vehicle > not sure 100% which one of the top menus from here, but will be listed as "Chime Volume"
*Copied from other response just so everyone who clicks sees answer*
Know about the "sd card removed" error. Dealer charging $450
Hey John, I have heard about it before. I know it can cause issues with the Nav system if you remove the SD card while the vehicle is running. As far as a fix, let me check with service & ask what they've done previously! Will report back shortly!
Shat is up with the buttons behind the steering wheel?
The right side is volume, up and down.
The left side is radio favorites, or if you're like me and listen to music from your phone, next and back for the songs.
@Cars With Kyle thank u I didn't want to touch it just in case it was some emergency type of stuff lol two other questions what is the green little car that is on the dashboard? and what is the 3 red dots with the beeping noise mean? And thank so much for your video it helped me to navigate my vehicle. My other one got stolen (kia soul) so I had to get something with the on star fixings lol
@OpticalXray Absolutely, happy to help! The green car symbol means your vehicle senses a car in front of you and you're at a safe distance. If you get too close it will go yellow, and if it thinks you're approaching too quickly, it can flash those red lights on the window, beep and sometimes even apply brakes to avoid the incident!
Sorry to hear about the Kia, but it sounds like you got a very nice replacement, congrats on the Equinox!
@Cars With Kyle yep the kia challenge it took about 3 weeks to get stuff back in order. You know something funny I had just increased my insurance like 6mo. Before this happened thank God. Fast forward I go to the dealership and he was like I got some kia and Before he could finish I was already shaking my head lol anyhow here now and definitely in a better place.😊 What are your thoughts on remote starts do you think it's bad for the engine or could cause damage over time?
How can I activate remote start on my wife's 2022 equinox that didn't come with remote start?
2 options:
1. You can go to your local Chevy dealership and order a GM remote start kit, they will have to program it as well so get a quote from the service department for that at the same time.
2. Go aftermarket at either a car accessories store or even BestBuy. I got my remote start aftermarket through BestBuy last Black Friday for under $300 installed!
@@CarsWithKylepersonal experience, aftermarket starters have a unique advantage. They don’t need line of sight to start the vehicle. So if I were in your place, I’d do the aftermarket. It’s like $3-400 in my area, MN.
I would like to know why there is a little green car that shows up
Green car on the dash means it sees a vehicle ahead of you and you are following it at a good distance, yellow means you are a bit close and red means you should probably hit the brakes!
Can get auto start on my Chev equinox 2022
If you do not have remote start from factory, you can go into your local dealership and purchase a remote starter kit through the parts department.
Will the front seat fold flat like the gmc terrain?
If the Terrain can, I would imagine so, but will have to go test out!
How come my clock went into military time when it was set correctly?
Sorry for the super late reply, I hope you got it figured out by now! But if not, simply go into the clock settings and switch it from 24hr to 12hr mode!
