Can you rebuild a 400-year-old dutch sailing vessel by hand, with only the help of volunteers?

You can if you never say never.

When a group of new York Capital district residents set out to reconstruct the Onrust (dutch

for “restless”), the first trading ship built in america, into a living (and floating) classroom,

they spent 3 years using authentic 17th-century dutch building techniques to rebuild the

ship to its authentic 1614 specifications. With the help of GMC, they had the capability

they needed to haul materials, the resources they required to construct the engine room

and the perseverance it took to bring an important part of american history back to life.

so whAt does 17th-centurY shipbuilding sAY About the engineering of the gmc AcAdiA?

that true craftsmanship is timeless. that the details are where you find the difference. and

if you dream of building something to stand the test, there’s no substitute for professional

grade. it was as true in the 17th century as it is in the 21st: the right transport can make all the

difference when you’re trying to keep life on course. gmc AcAdiA.

the people behind the onrust project

Contributing skills, time and hard work, over 250 volunteers came together to help reconstruct america’s first

dutch trading ship, the Onrust. Utilizing recently rediscovered authentic dutch shipbuilding techniques, the

reconstruction isn’t merely a replica but an actual working 17th-century dutch ship, built the same way the original

was some 400 years ago.

steering

power rAck-And-pinion steering For precise and accurate response, acadia features power rack-and-pinion steering. it provides a positive on-center feel at highway speeds, as well as extra low-speed assist for maneuvering in tight spaces. sl and sle models feature constant-effort power steering.

brAking

Antilock brAking sYstem (Abs) For confident stops in a variety of conditions, every acadia features four-channel antilock brakes. When the brakes are applied, abs can detect impending wheel lock-up, and then pulse that wheel’s brake to prevent it. a four-channel system, it can activate any combination of vehicle brakes to maintain control.

power four-wheel disc brAkes For outstanding braking performance in virtually any conditions, power four-wheel disc brakes are standard on every model. their ample size offers the capacity for repeated stops, while the smooth, progressive action of the brake pedal can help you to maintain control in situations where only a small amount of brake force is required.

iOn trAction control sYstem to make the most of available traction on

many road surfaces, traction control measures and compares the speed of your wheels. if it senses one or more wheels starting to spin, such as on a slippery surface, the system applies individual brakes and manages engine power to slow the wheel down and maintain traction, so you can move forward with a better sense of control.

wide stAnce /long wheelbAse For the ride comfort of a full-size sUV, the acadia has the longest wheelbase measurement in its class, which reduces fore-aft rocking at highway speeds. the wide track pushes the wheels out to the edge of the body for the stability and sure-footed cornering found in much smaller vehicles.

trAilering pAckAge in addition to the luxury-sedan ride and the exceptional maneuverability, acadia is engineered with a maximum trailer weight rating of up to 5200 lbs.3 When you order this available package, you get the heavy-duty cooling system, a factory-installed trailer hitch with a standard 2" receiver, attaching points for safety chains and a seven-pin trailer harness with a built-in female connector.

vAriAble vAlve timing (vvt) this gives you the power of a high-performance engine with the low-speed response you need for situations such as trailering or climbing steep inclines. this technology constantly monitors and changes how the valves open and close to give you near-peak levels of torque across the entire range of engine speeds.

trAnsmission

6-speed AutomAtic overdrive trAnsmission designed to be an interactive partner with the engine and control system, this transmission chooses the best gear for economy or power based on your driving style. For steep hills, bad weather or a really great driving road, all acadia models feature tap-up/-down gear selection with driver shift Control. it gives you the ability to manually shift gears for optimal driver control.

GMC engineered the mystery out of this essential service with the Oil life Monitor. it calculates how much life your oil has left, based on when and how you drive. then it updates you with a telltale on your driver information Center.

onstAr vehicle diAgnostics2 the peace of mind that comes from knowing the condition of your acadia’s key systems is as easy as checking your e-mail. the Onstar Vehicle diagnostics service that comes standard with your 6-month trial subscription to Onstar can run hundreds of checks of your acadia’s engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more, then organize the information into an easy-to-read monthly report. Onstar can also run a check of your vehicle as you drive just by pressing the blue button and asking the advisor for an On-demand diagnostics check. that’s peace of mind when you need it.

All-wheel drive (Awd) For an extra measure of traction in wet or dry weather, a fully automatic aWd system is available on all acadia models. this system sends power to each wheel based on available traction. because the aWd system is so well integrated with acadia, it is almost imperceptible in daily driving.

fullY independent suspension For precise control and luxury-vehicle refinement, GMC acadia is engineered with a four-wheel independent suspension. as the name implies, each wheel can act independently to maintain road contact, which helps you stay in control. With sophisticated shock absorbers and struts filled with nitrogen gas instead of conventional fluid, the ride is smooth and controlled even on poorly maintained roads.

design

Acoustics And noise suppression to reduce road noise and control wind noise, acadia uses sophisticated sound-blocking and sound-deadening techniques, including liquid-applied sound deadeners to fill even the most minute gaps and sound paths.

cupholders acadia has two console-mounted cupholders and two in the doors for driver and passenger, another two in the second row with one in each door, plus two more molded into the side panels for the third row.

climAte control—tri-Zone the available tri-zone climate control creates individual areas for the driver, the front-seat passenger and the rear-compartment passengers. second-row passengers get their own controls for temperature and fan speed, so drivers can concentrate on the road.

console to help everything fall into place, acadia’s convenient and spacious center console gives you multiple storage compartments for the essentials you rely on every day. the center floor console offers deep, concealed storage for Cds or dVds, Mp3 players or other personal electronics. the padded armrest slides fore and aft to help you stay comfortable, regardless of your seating position.

driver informAtion center staying in touch with the most important information is as easy as pressing a button. the driver information Center includes the odometer and a/b trip odometers, as well as a message center that keeps you informed about vital vehicle functions and driving conditions.

full AnAlog gAuge instrumentAtion For quick, clear readings, nothing beats the simplicity of traditional needle-and-dial gauges. all models include a tachometer to monitor engine speed, an engine temperature gauge and fuel indicator.

seAting

seAting configurAtions GMC leaves the final passenger list to you. When you choose eight-passenger seating, you get a sliding second-row three-across seat that feels like anything but a bench. if you choose the available seven-passenger configuration, the second row receives two captain’s chairs. in either case, you get the convenience and space of fold-flat functionality from the tailgate to the front-row seatbacks.

high roof five-door design For the versatility and spaciousness of a full-size sUV, GMC designed acadia for easy access and long-distance comfort. the door openings are generously sized for plenty of head room on entry, and the liftgate opens high enough for full access to the rear opening.

high-intensitY dischArge heAdlAmps there’s more to a light than on and off. the available bi-xenon lamps throw a brighter, whiter light farther down the road for better illumination and greater contrast than conventional headlamps. this brighter beam is also more focused, so that more of its lighting power is used to illuminate your path.

low step-in height And low lift-over height acadia is engineered to take the work out of typical tasks, such as loading cargo or taking passengers. the low height of the rear bumper makes loading luggage or heavy objects easier, while the low step-in height lets people of every size enter without climbing extra steps.

smArt slide seAting to make third-row entry and exit easier for people of many sizes, acadia has smart slide second-row seating that slides the seats to their forward-most position, and then compacts them for space with the same folding action you would use for a chaise lounge or beach chair.

duAl-stAge frontAl Air bAgs And side-impAct Air bAgs11 to help reduce the risk of injury to driver and front passengers, the dual-stage frontal air bags in acadia have sensors that gauge the severity of a crash, then determine whether to employ one or two levels of inflation. acadia also features a passenger sensing system for the outboard front passenger that automatically turns off the air bag if the passenger is under the appropriate weight.

heAd curtAin side-impAct Air bAgs11 these air bags unfurl from the roof rail like a protective curtain for outboard passengers and can be activated by either rollover sensors or side-impact sensors.

side-impAct Air bAgs11 to help protect the thorax and pelvic regions of the driver and outside front passenger in a side-impact collision, acadia models include standard side-impact air bags mounted on the driver and outside front passenger seats.

tire pressure monitoring sYstem12 properly inflated tires are critical to your comfort, vehicle control and economy. tire pressure Monitoring uses tiny sensors inside the wheel to “broadcast” tire pressure to your vehicle, which alerts you to their status and inflation level through the driver information Center. if you subscribe to Onstar Vehicle diagnostics, this information is part of their monthly e-mail update, or if you have the Onstar remotelink app, you can check the status from your smartphone.
