Instruments and Controls 121
Delayed (Electric Rate and
Departure Time) :The vehicle
estimates the charging start time
based on the utility rate schedule,
utility rate preference, and the
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. The vehicle
will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electrical rate information from
the utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will
start charging immediately upon
plug-in. For example, if the electric
rate table is set up with all “Peak”
rates and the rate preference is to
charge during “Off-Peak”rates only,
then the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in.
Charge Limit Preference Selection
The Charge Limit Preference setting
allows the customer to select their
vehicle’s charge level so it matches
the capability of their charging
location. If the vehicle consistently stops charging after plugging in, or if
a circuit breaker continues to trip,
reducing to a lower Charge Limit
Preference may resolve the issue.
The Charge Limit Preference should
be configured to match the electrical
current rating for the electrical outlet
that the charge cord is connected
to. The Charge Limit Preference
settings are:
.
Maximum: Limits AC current to
12 amps
. Reduced: Limits AC current to
8 amps
Exact current levels may vary from
the values shown in this manual.
Check the vehicle for the current
available levels. The Charge Limit Preference setting
resets to the Reduced 8 amp setting
each time the vehicle is driven.
Location Based Charging can be
enabled to maintain Maximum
12 amp setting at a specified Home
location. See
“Location Based
Charging” later in this section.
The Charge Limit Preference setting
can be changed at any time while
the center stack display is operable.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.

A temporary loss of GPS can cause
loss of the ability to send a
Turn-by-Turn Navigation route. The
Advisor may give a verbal route or
may ask for a call back after the
vehicle is driven into an open area.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
Cellular reception is required for
OnStar to send remote signals to
the vehicle. Do not place items over
or near the antenna to prevent
blocking cellular and GPS signal
reception.
Unable to Connect to OnStar

If there is limited cellular coverage
or the cellular network has reached
maximum capacity, this message
may come on. Press

few miles into another cellular area.
Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a vehicle
electrical system, wireless service,
and GPS satellite technologies to be
available and operating for features to function properly. These systems
may not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.
Add-on Electrical Equipment
The OnStar system is integrated
into the electrical architecture of the
vehicle. Do not add any electrical
equipment. See
Add-On Electrical
Equipment 0234. Added electrical
equipment may interfere with the
operation of the OnStar system and
cause it to not operate.
Vehicle Software Updates
OnStar or GM may remotely deliver
software updates or changes to the
vehicle without further notice or
consent. These updates or changes
may enhance or maintain safety,
security, or the operation of the
vehicle or the vehicle systems.
Software updates or changes may
affect or erase data or settings that
are stored in the vehicle, such as
OnStar Hands-Free Calling name
tags, saved navigation destinations,
or pre-set radio stations. Neither
OnStar nor GM is responsible for
any affected or erased data or settings. These updates or changes
may also collect personal
information. Such collection is
described in the OnStar privacy
statement or separately disclosed at
the time of installation. These
updates or changes may also cause
a system to automatically
communicate with GM servers to
collect information about vehicle
system status, identify whether
updates or changes are available,
or deliver updates or changes. An
active OnStar agreement constitutes
consent to these software updates
or changes and agreement that
either OnStar or GM may remotely
deliver them to the vehicle.
