alerts. It may assist by gently turning
the steering wheel and display
A
as amber if the vehicle approaches a
detected lane marking without using a
turn signal in that direction. It may also provide an LDW alert by
flashing
Aamber as the lane
marking is crossed. Additionally, there
may be three beeps, or the driver seat
may pulse three times, on the right or
left, depending on the lane departure
direction.
Take Steering
The LKA system does not
continuously steer the vehicle. If LKA
does not detect active driver steering,
an alert, chime, or DIC message may
be provided. Move the steering wheel
to dismiss.
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The system performance may be
affected by:
. Close vehicles ahead. .
Sudden lighting changes, such as
when driving through tunnels.
. Banked roads.
. Roads with poor lane markings,
such as two-lane roads.
If the LKA system is not functioning
properly when lane markings are
clearly visible, cleaning the windshield
may help.
A system unavailable message may
display if the camera is blocked. The
LKA system does not need service.
LKA assistance and/or LDW alerts
may occur due to tar marks, shadows,
cracks in the road, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections. This is normal
system operation; the vehicle does not
need service. Turn LKA off if these
conditions continue.
Surround Vision Recorder
If equipped, this system records the
360° camera views to an SD card. Only
images are recorded, no sound. An SD
card will be needed for this system. The recommended SD card is an
8-32GB SDHC card with FAT32 file
system, Class 4 and over.
Insert an SD card into the card reader
in the trunk. Disable recording from
the playback screen before removing
the SD card from the reader. Do not
remove the card while recording is
enabled. This could corrupt the video
file and/or the SD card.
Other files should not be stored on
the same SD card as the surround
vision recorder files. Storing other files
on the same card may increase
recording start up and playback time
or result in a loss of data.

This section explains the charging of
the vehicle's high voltage battery. Do
not allow the vehicle to remain in
extreme temperatures for long periods
without being driven or plugged in.
Plug the vehicle in when temperatures
are below 0 °C (32 °F) and above 32 °C
(90 °F) to maximize the life of the high
voltage battery.
When using the portable charge cord
included with the vehicle, it will take
approximately 12.5 hours to charge
the vehicle with the 12 amp AC
current setting or 20 hours using the
default 8 amp AC current setting.
When using a charging station
capable of 16 amps or more, it will
take approximately 4.5 hours to
charge the vehicle. Charge times will
vary with outside temperature. There
are three ways to program how the
vehicle is charged. SeeProgrammable
Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0152. The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds from
the vehicle while it is turned off.
Additional unexpected clicking sounds
may be caused by the electrical
devices used while charging.
While the charge cord is plugged into
the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
driven.

276 DRIVING AND OPERATING
The vehicle has a Charging Status
Indicator (CSI) at the center of the
instrument panel near the windshield.
When the vehicle is plugged in and
the vehicle power is off, the CSI
indicates the following:
.Short Flashing Green –Vehicle is
plugged in. Battery is not fully
charged. Flash rate increases from
one to four flashes as battery
charges.
. Long Flashing Green –Vehicle is
plugged in. Battery is not fully
charged. Battery charging is
delayed.
. Solid 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
and if there is a total utility
interruption via OnStar. See Utility
Interruption of Charging (PLUG-IN
Only) 0284. This may also indicate
that the charging system has
detected a fault and will not charge the battery. See
“Charge
Cord Status Indicators ”in Charge
Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0279.
If the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle
power is on, the CSI will flash or will
be solid green, depending on the
charge level. This also happens during
a remote start if the vehicle is
plugged in.
If the vehicle is plugged in and the
CSI is off, a total utility interruption
using OnStar or a charging fault has
been detected. See Utility Interruption
of Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0284 or
“Charge Cord Status Indicators ”in
Charge Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0279.
A message displays if the vehicle is
not able to charge.
Following is the vehicle feedback
when the charge cord is plugged in.
