Default New C7 Owner Tips

Just traded a 13 GS for a 15 Z51 2LT from a non GM dealer so did not get an informative delivery. Looked for videos and such and have not found any to watch.

I did see the thread on the rear hatch closing without the assist that the 13 has so any little tips like that would be appreciated. Been reading the owners manual but it does not have instructions for things like this.

There are a series of videos produced by GM when the 2014 came out. You should be able to find them by searching YouTube and there are some on the Chevrolet website
