The approach lighting on the 2024-2025 Traverse and Acadia has several differences compared to the lighting elements on the 2025 Enclave. It’s important to understand these differences when diagnosing any customer concerns about the exterior and interior lighting.
The following lighting functions are normal operation on these vehicles.
Traverse and Acadia Models
- Interior and exterior lights will illuminate when approaching the vehicle with the remote key fob. (Fig. 10)
- Additional exterior lighting animation occurs when approaching the vehicle on models equipped with the uplevel headlamps (RPO TGE).

Enclave Models
- Interior lights will illuminate, but exterior lights will not illuminate when approaching the vehicle with the remote key fob.
- Exterior lighting animation occurs when locking and unlocking the vehicle, (Fig. 11) but there are not any exterior lighting functions when approaching the vehicle.

- Additional interior lighting animation occurs on models equipped with the interior dynamic ambient lighting package (RPO TSQ). (Fig. 12)
