ONSTAR
OnStar is a core asset of your Terrain. Benefiting from more than a decade of innovative
development, it is both a highly advanced technology—fully integrated within the vehicle —
and a warm human service. Standard on all Terrain models are six months of the OnStar Directions
& Connections plan, including the convenience of Hands-Free Calling. It also includes Automatic
Crash Response (see page 16), Stolen Vehicle Assistance, link to Emergency Services, Roadside
Assistance, Remote Door Unlock, OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, Crisis Assist and Remote Horn and Lights.
OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS
satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as
a link to existing emergency service providers. Visit onstar.com for coverage maps, details and system
limitations. Services vary with conditions.
HANDS-FREE CALLING
OnStar Hands-Free Calling capability is built into your Terrain. It’s there when your cell phone is
unavailable, its battery is low, you can’t reach it easily or you left it home or in the office. Your Hands-
Free Calling system is the right choice whenever you need an easy way to make and receive calls—at the
touch of the phone icon on the rearview mirror or the steering-wheel-mounted controls shown on page 6.
Voice-activated dialing is convenient because you don’t have to dial when you are at the wheel. And
Hands-Free Calling is reliable because it’s specially designed for better reception and fewer dropped
calls in areas of limited cellular reception. You are invited to experience the benefits yourself with 30
Hands-Free Calling minutes—on OnStar—during the first two months you drive your Terrain, with no
strings attached.
ONSTAR TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
Standard on all Terrain models are six months of the OnStar Directions & Connections plan that adds
innovative, easy-to-use Turn-by-Turn Navigation plus Information and Convenience Services and
Driving Directions. With Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you simply tell the OnStar Advisor your intended
destination, and directions will automatically be sent to your Terrain. If you drive off-course, the system
can reroute you to your intended destination. An automated voice then guides you turn-by-turn until you
arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is further enhanced with eNAV, allowing you to send
Google™ Maps® and MapQuest® destinations directly to your vehicle. No need to print out directions;
just call them up with simple voice commands.
XM RADIO
On all Terrain models, XM Radio1 is standard with 3 trial months of service.
XM turns your drive on with commercial-free music channels from virtually every genre,
artist-dedicated channels, live performances and more. Tune in to live play-by-play from the biggest
sports, exclusive entertainment from top personalities, compelling talk, hilarious comedy, world-class
news, local traffic and weather and family-friendly programming. Everything worth listening to is now on XM.
Visit xmradio.com for details.
XM NAVTRAFFIC
Included with the available Touch-Screen Navigation System, 3 trial months of XM NavTraffic2
enhances Terrain’s GPS navigation system by showing real-time traffic data—while you’re
driving. Available in over 80 markets, XM NavTraffic displays construction, road closures and accidents so
that you can get to your destination faster, plus average traffic speed and estimated drive time in select
markets. For more information, visit xmradio.com/navtraffic.
GOODWRENCH SERVICE

Goodwrench Service—found exclusively at your GMC dealer—is there. With all the engineering
excellence in Terrain, GM-trained Goodwrench technicians have the expertise to care for all of it.

GOING THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF EVERY INCH.
Every inch of Terrain challenges the notion of what an SUV can be. It has the best
highway fuel economy in its class1 at 32 highway miles per gallon, and fits into smaller
garages and tighter parking spaces with ease. Terrain also rewards you with big-SUV
comfort, professional-grade capability and bold GMC styling—it’s the very definition
of efficiency without compromise.
terrain slt-2 IN CARBON BLACK METALLIC SHOWN WITH AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT
Terrain offers class-leading highway fuel economy without sacrificing performance. Equipped
with a 2.4L I-4, Terrain offers 32 EPA-estimated highway miles per gallon, and can go up to
600 highway miles on a single tank of gas. At 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque, the
engine delivers responsive power when you need it for a confident driving experience.
BIG SUV COMFORT
Terrain features the head and leg room of a full-sized SUV. To make the most of available
interior space, its clever MultiFlex rear seat slides to create 39.9 inches of class-leading
rear leg room, and can even recline for rear passenger comfort. The seatbacks also fold
down to create nearly 64 cubic feet of available cargo space.
2
BOLD GMC STYLING
Terrain takes a strong stance worthy of its professional-grade heritage— with squared-off
corners, flared fenders, a prominent chrome surround grille and projector-beam head-
lamps mounted in large, rectangular chrome housings. What you get is plenty of bold
styling and a commanding view of the road.
HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST
Every Terrain offers a six-month trial subscription to OnStar Directions & Connections.

EVERY INCH DESIGNED TO DO BIG THINGS.
Terrain is a smaller SUV on the outside, with the capacity to do more on the inside.
It’s engineered to use every inch of interior space to the full benefit of its five-passenger
interior. You get class-leading maximum second-row leg room, generous cargo space
and flexible second-row seating, allowing you to configure interior space as you choose.

FIGURE 3: FLEXIBLE FLOOR PLAN
With the help of an available programmable power liftgate, loading and unloading
Terrain’s rear cargo area is incredibly easy. The liftgate features push-button remote
access, and can be programmed to open to different heights to accommodate your
own height or various parking garage heights. Electronic obstacle detection can
reverse and stop liftgate motion to help prevent damage.
The standard MultiFlex sliding rear seat allows you to arrange Terrain’s available
interior space to your liking. The 60/40-split rear seatback can be partially folded
to accommodate a mix of cargo and passengers, or folded down completely to create
nearly 64 cubic feet of total cargo space.1
Benefitting from the
longest wheelbase in
the class, Terrain has
roomy rear seating
comfortable enough
for three adults. The
seat can slide nearly
8 inches fore and aft
and recline in five- and
10-degree positions to
deliver class-leading
39.9 inches of maxi-
mum rear leg room and
exceptional comfort.
Or you can slide the
seat forward to expand
rear cargo volume.

CAPABILITY REFINED.
Every inch of Terrain’s spacious interior reflects a high level of craftsmanship
and thoughtful execution. It’s finished in fine premium materials and
complemented by well-placed, conveniently illuminated controls. In devoting
attention to the smallest of details, Terrain provides a stylish, structured,
pleasing environment for everyone.
STYLISH, COMFORTABLE CABIN
INVITING INTERIOR
Terrain’s interior reflects GMC’s signature attention to detail. Careful organiza-
tion and premium materials give Terrain a structured, integrated look and feel.
Red ambient lighting is used on the cupholders and around the center stack
to provide an inviting, warm glow throughout the cabin and add convenience
while traveling at night. Contrasting red stitching helps define the contours of
Terrain’s highly bolstered seats and complements the interior lighting.
SUPPORTIVE SEATING
Terrain’s seats are shaped and bolstered for additional comfort and support.
They’re carefully stitched to create a high-end, contemporary look that stands
up to wear over time.
COLD-WEATHER COMFORT
Terrain has available heated front seats to warm you up when cold weather
sets in. The seats offer three settings, giving front-row occupants the ability
to dial in the appropriate level of heat to match their personal comfort level.
They’re available with cloth on SLE-2 models and standard on SLT-1 and
SLT-2 models with perforated leather-appointed seating surfaces.
A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING
Terrain makes intelligent use of interior space to help keep you organized.
It offers numerous spaces to store your belongings, including a center con-
sole large enough to store a laptop, an oversized glove box, closed storage
in the instrument panel, a compartment under the center armrest and
two-tier storage in the doors.

POWER AND PERFORMANCE
12
THERE’S POwER IN NUMBERS.
Terrain’s 182-horsepower direct-injected four-cylinder engine gives a spirited
performance and features better highway fuel economy than any other SUV or
crossover.1 Direct-injection technology and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) help
both the standard 2.4L I-4 engine and the available 3.0L V-6 engine burn
cleaner and operate more efficiently, making Terrain incredibly responsive and
fuel-conscious. You don’t have to wait for the payoff—it’s power you can feel
the moment you accelerate.
1 EPA-estimated mpg 32 hwy. 2Maximum
trailer weight ratings are calculated
assuming a base vehicle, except for any
option(s) necessary to achieve the rating,
plus driver. The weight of other optional
equipment, passengers and cargo will
reduce the maximum trailer weight your
vehicle can tow. See your GMC dealer
for additional details.
FIGURE 5: ADDITIONAL V-6 ENGINE POWER
The available 3.0L V-6 engine offers 264 horsepower and 222 lb-ft of torque.
It clocks in a 0-to-60 mph time of 7.8 seconds and delivers an unsurpassed
3500 pounds of trailering capability in its class.
2
ADVANCED 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
A 6-speed automatic transmission features a wide ratio spread with a very low first
gear for brisk acceleration from a stop, and a very high sixth gear overdrive ratio
that helps save fuel during highway cruising. Thanks to Engine Grade Braking,
the transmission also changes gears as conditions change, reduces brake wear
and gives you more control on downhill slopes.
DIRECT-INJECTION TECHNOLOGY
Both engines in the Terrain feature direct-injection technology. Fuel is injected
directly into the combustion chamber, right next to the spark plug for fast,
efficient combustion. In addition, digital sensors allow each injection of fuel
to precisely match power demand, resulting in cleaner burning and efficient
operation. Instead of having to tune the engine for power or fuel economy, our
engineers are able to do both.
FUEL-SAVING MODE
The 2.4L I-4 comes with
an “ECO” mode to help
save fuel. At the press
of a button, the engine
makes a slight sacrifice
in acceleration in ex-
change for additional fuel
economy in city driving.
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
A Rack-mounted Electric
Power Steering system
(REPS) automatically
delivers extra steering
effort when you need it,
when parking or during
tight maneuvers, and
reduces steering effort
when you don’t on
the highway. REPS also
eliminates the need for
a power steering pump,
which helps conserve
horsepower and contrib-
utes to Terrain’s excep-
tional fuel economy.
It’s standard on all
Terrain models equipped
with the 2.4L four-
cylinder engine.

RIDE AND HANDLING
UNLIMITED RANGE OF MOTION.
Terrain has the strength and flexibility to manage changing conditions with confidence.
When the road resists, it pushes back with suspension, braking and stability control
systems designed to provide excellent on-road feel and handling characteristics.
HILL HOLD
On a hill or a steep incline,
the moment you take
your foot off the gas, Hill
Hold takes over to prevent
Terrain from rolling back-
wards. Sensing a potential
“rollback,” Hill Hold uses
full brake pressure to hold
the vehicle in place during
the switch between brake
and accelerator pedals,
giving you time to apply
power and pull away.
REARVIEW PERSPECTIVE
Every Terrain is equipped
with a Rearview Camera
System to help you navigate
a driveway, parking space
or trailer hitch more effec-
tively. As soon as you shift
into reverse, a view of
what’s behind you is dis-
played in a portion of the
rearview mirror. On select
models, when Touch-Screen
Navigation is ordered, the
camera display is integrated
into the NAV screen.
When you need extra traction, available AWD automatically adapts to changing
road conditions for improved handling. The system sends the maximum amount
of torque specific to each wheel when extra traction is needed, and adjusts as
needed to help you maintain control. Thanks to direct-injection engine technology,
Terrain features best-in-class AWD highway fuel economy and a best-in-class AWD
highway cruising range.1
terrain slt-2 IN CARBON BLACK METALLIC SHOWN WITH AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT
A FEEL FOR THE ROAD
Terrain’s suspension system features a compact strut-type front suspension and an
independent, four-link design with coil springs in the rear. The suspension is tight and
offers a crisp response to give you a feel for the road, without all of the harshness.
IMPRESSIVE TRAILERING CAPABILITY2
With an available receiver hitch, Terrain 2.4L I-4 engine models can trailer up to
1500 pounds. Equipped with the 3.0L V-6 engine, Terrain offers unsurpassed
maximum trailering capacity in its class— up to 3500 pounds. In practical terms,
the I-4 is great for trailering a pair of jet skis or motorcycle, while the V-6 can
handle most single-axle camping trailers.
STABILITY CONTROL
The StabiliTrak stability control system helps you stay on the path you are steering
in bad weather or on uneven road surfaces. This system senses when your vehicle
is not responding to your steering inputs, then adjusts engine speed and braking
pressure to any individual wheel to help maintain directional control.
FIGURE 6: INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)

PRIORITIES IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Terrain offers a comprehensive system of protection to give you help when you need it
most. It’s engineered to assist you before a crash, with advanced chassis control technology
(see page 14 for details), during a crash, when every second counts, and thanks to OnStar,
after a crash, even if you can’t ask for help yourself.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
FIGURE 7: SIX AIR BAGS WITH PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM1
1 Air bag inflation can cause severe injury or death to anyone too close to the air bag when it deploys. Always use safety belts and the
correct restraint for your child’s age and size. Even in vehicles equipped with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when
properly secured in a rear seat in the appropriate infant, child or booster seat. Never place a rear-facing infant restraint in the front
seat of any vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag. See the Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety
information. 2Visit onstar.com for details and system limitations.
To reduce the risk of injury, Terrain is equipped with six air bags: two front dual-stage air
bags and two side-impact air bags for the driver and front-seat passenger, and head curtain
side-impact air bags with rollover protection for passengers in all outboard seating positions.
The front passenger air bags feature a Passenger Sensing System. The system uses a sensor
within the front passenger seat to detect the weight of an occupant. Under a certain weight,
the system automatically turns off the air bag.
REINFORCED SAFETY CAGE
To help preserve occupant space during a crash, Terrain’s safety cage is engineered to
absorb and channel crash energy. Crush zones at the front and rear of Terrain are designed
to collapse in a controlled manner on impact, allowing them to absorb energy and keep
the safety cage intact.
ONSTAR AUTOMATIC CRASH RESPONSE2
With OnStar, you get the help you need, even if you can’t ask for it. In a crash, an OnStar
Advisor can call for help, send your GPS location to emergency services and can stay on the
line until help arrives. For more details, see page 25 or visit onstar.com.
ELECTRONIC CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
To prevent young children from opening the rear doors unexpectedly, all Terrain
models include “one-touch” electronic safety door locks and a lockout switch.
Simply pushing a button in the center console sends an electronic signal to the rear
doors, blocking interior door handle function. The button is backlit in amber when the doors are
locked, and turns to red when unlocked to help you determine when the locks are activated.

Terrain’s rigid, body-integral structure with single-piece bodyside outer-
stamping allows for a precise assembly, with tight, uniform gap tolerances.
Tight seams, window closeouts and windshield angle help improve air
flow over and around Terrain, reducing air turbulence and wind noise. The
result is a vehicle with a solid feel and high level of quality that provides
a remarkably quiet ride.
ONSTAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS
With the help of OnStar, Terrain can automatically send you a monthly
e-mail summary of hundreds of checks of your engine, transmission and
antilock brakes, along with important maintenance tips. Services include
OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, a powerfully simple way to know what your
vehicle’s key operating systems need. A six-month trial subscription to
OnStar Directions & Connections1 is one of the benefits of Terrain ownership.
THE BEST COVERAGE IN AMERICA
We stand by our commitment to exceptional quality and great capability
in everything we do. Every GMC is fully backed by a 5-Year/100,000-Mile
Powertrain Limited Warranty2 plus Courtesy Transportation and Roadside
Assistance, so you’re protected. If you sell your GMC, this coverage is fully
transferable to the next owner, too. It’s not just a commitment to you. It’s

Essentially an on-board computer, Terrain’s available Touch-Screen
Navigation System5 allows you to choose either a 2-D or 3-D
view of your driving (above, left). The system’s 40GB hard drive6
stores a navigation database, freeing the system’s DVD drive for
entertainment. On vehicles equipped with this system, Terrain’s
standard rear view camera transmits the camera image of what is
behind the vehicle to the NAV screen (above, right).

ONSTAR
OnStar is a core asset of your Terrain. Benefiting from more than a decade of innovative
development, it is both a highly advanced technology—fully integrated within the vehicle —
and a warm human service. Standard on all Terrain models are six months of the OnStar Directions
& Connections plan, including the convenience of Hands-Free Calling. It also includes Automatic
Crash Response (see page 16), Stolen Vehicle Assistance, link to Emergency Services, Roadside
Assistance, Remote Door Unlock, OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics, Crisis Assist and Remote Horn and Lights.
OnStar services require vehicle electrical system (including battery), wireless service and GPS
satellite signals to be available and operating for features to function properly. OnStar acts as
a link to existing emergency service providers. Visit onstar.com for coverage maps, details and system
limitations. Services vary with conditions.
HANDS-FREE CALLING
OnStar Hands-Free Calling capability is built into your Terrain. It’s there when your cell phone is
unavailable, its battery is low, you can’t reach it easily or you left it home or in the office. Your Hands-
Free Calling system is the right choice whenever you need an easy way to make and receive calls—at the
touch of the phone icon on the rearview mirror or the steering-wheel-mounted controls shown on page 6.
Voice-activated dialing is convenient because you don’t have to dial when you are at the wheel. And
Hands-Free Calling is reliable because it’s specially designed for better reception and fewer dropped
calls in areas of limited cellular reception. You are invited to experience the benefits yourself with 30
Hands-Free Calling minutes—on OnStar—during the first two months you drive your Terrain, with no
strings attached.
ONSTAR TURN-BY-TURN NAVIGATION
Standard on all Terrain models are six months of the OnStar Directions & Connections plan that adds
innovative, easy-to-use Turn-by-Turn Navigation plus Information and Convenience Services and
Driving Directions. With Turn-by-Turn Navigation, you simply tell the OnStar Advisor your intended
destination, and directions will automatically be sent to your Terrain. If you drive off-course, the system
can reroute you to your intended destination. An automated voice then guides you turn-by-turn until you
arrive at your destination. Turn-by-Turn Navigation is further enhanced with eNAV, allowing you to send
Google™ Maps® and MapQuest® destinations directly to your vehicle. No need to print out directions;
just call them up with simple voice commands.
XM RADIO
On all Terrain models, XM Radio1 is standard with 3 trial months of service.
XM turns your drive on with commercial-free music channels from virtually every genre,
artist-dedicated channels, live performances and more. Tune in to live play-by-play from the biggest
sports, exclusive entertainment from top personalities, compelling talk, hilarious comedy, world-class
news, local traffic and weather and family-friendly programming. Everything worth listening to is now on XM.
Visit xmradio.com for details.
XM NAVTRAFFIC
Included with the available Touch-Screen Navigation System, 3 trial months of XM NavTraffic2
enhances Terrain’s GPS navigation system by showing real-time traffic data—while you’re
driving. Available in over 80 markets, XM NavTraffic displays construction, road closures and accidents so
that you can get to your destination faster, plus average traffic speed and estimated drive time in select
markets. For more information, visit xmradio.com/navtraffic.
GOODWRENCH SERVICE
To help your Terrain live up to its performance promise, GMC
Goodwrench Service—found exclusively at your GMC dealer—is there. With all the engineering
excellence in Terrain, GM-trained Goodwrench technicians have the expertise to care for all of it.
1 XM Radio requires a subscription, sold separately by XM after the first 90 days. XM Radio U.S. service only available in the 48 contiguous United States and
