9-56 Driving and Operating
When SBZA is disabled for any
reason other than the driver turning
it off, the Side Blind Zone Alert On
option will not be available on the
personalization menu.
FCC Information
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13-15.
Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)
LDW may help avoid crashes due to
unintentional lane departures. It may
provide a warning if the vehicle is
crossing a detected lane marker
without using a turn signal in the
lane departure direction. LDW uses
a camera sensor to detect the lane
markings. It only operates at speeds
of 56 km/h (35 mph) or greater.
When the vehicle crosses a
detected lane marking, the LDW
indicator will flash and either three
beeps will be sounded from the left
or right side, or three Safety Alert
Seat pulses will occur on the left or right side of the seat, depending on
the lane departure direction. LDW
will not warn if the turn signal is on
in the departure direction, or if a
sharp maneuver is made.
{Warning
The LDW system is an aid to help
the vehicle stay in the driving
lane. It does not steer the vehicle.
The LDW system may not:
.Provide enough time to avoid
a crash.
.Detect lane markings under
bad weather conditions or if
the windshield is dirty.
.Detect lane markings and will
not detect road edges.
.Warn that the vehicle is
crossing a lane marking if the
system does not detect the
lane marking.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If LDW only detects lane
markings on one side of the road,
it will only warn you when
departing the lane on the side
where it has detected a lane
marker. Even with LDW, always
keep your attention on the road
and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, or vehicle
damage, injury, or death could
occur. Always keep the
windshield clean and do not use
LDW in bad weather conditions.
How the System Works
The LDW camera sensor is on the
windshield ahead of the rearview
mirror.
To turn LDW on and off, press
@on
the center stack. The control
indicator will light when LDW is on.

9-60 Driving and Operating
Charging Status
Feedback
The vehicle has two ways of
monitoring the charging status of
the high voltage battery. The
Instrument Panel Charging Status
Indicator (CSI) is at the center of the
instrument panel near the
windshield. The LEDs in the Outside
Rearview Mirrors (OSRVM) are also
used to monitor charging status.
Some local laws restricting the use
of colored lights on public roads
may apply to the outside rearview
mirrors charging status feedback. To
turn the OSRVM charge indicator
off, see“Charge Status Feedback”
in Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-51.
Instrument Panel Charging
Status Indicator (CSI)
When the vehicle is plugged in and
the vehicle power is off, the CSI
indicates the following:
.Solid Green –Vehicle is plugged
in. Battery is not fully charged.
Battery is charging.
.Long Flashing Green –Vehicle
is plugged in. Battery is not fully
charged. Battery charging is
delayed.
.Short Flashing Green –Vehicle
is plugged in. Battery is fully
charged.
.Solid Yellow –Vehicle is plugged
in. It is normal for the CSI to turn
yellow for a few seconds after
plugging in a compatible charge
cord. The solid yellow may be
extended depending on the
vehicle temperature or if there is
a total utility interruption via
OnStar. See Utility Interruption of
Charging on page 9-65. This
may also indicate that the
charging system has detected a
fault and will not charge the
battery. See “Charge Cord
Status Indicators” in the charge
cord user guide.
The system may be thermally
conditioning the battery during any
of the states above, requiring
electrical energy to be transferred to
the vehicle.

9-64 Driving and Operating
Outside Rearview Mirror
(OSRVM) Charging Status
Indicator
The outside rear view mirrors are
equipped with green LEDs used to
indicate high voltage battery system
charging status. The OSRVM CSI
indicates the following:
.Solid green - Battery is charging
and is less than half complete.
.Fast flashing - Battery is
charging. Battery is more than
half complete.
.Slow flashing - Battery is
charging. Battery is nearly
complete.
.Off - Not charging.
Charge Cord
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13-15.
A portable charge cord used to
charge the vehicle high voltage
battery is stored under the load
support floor covering in the trunk.
Important Information About
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’ s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
.Before you plug in to any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
.Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weather-proof while in use.
.Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
{Warning
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause
a fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage to
property, serious injury, or death.
