If the radio is on, the sound may be
muted for a brief time due to a new
audio system equalization being
loaded.
Troubleshooting
Check the following if the
convertible top switch
Mis not
operating:
. The ignition should be on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) should
be active.
. The trunk lid should be closed
and the trunk partition in place.
A DIC message will display.
. If the ONLY MANUAL
OPERATION OF TOP
POSSIBLE message is
displayed on the DIC, see
“Manual Movement of Top” later
in this section.
. At cooler outside temperatures,
the convertible top may not
open. It is possible to close the
top down to temperatures of
about 0 °C (32 °F). A DIC
message will display if the top
will not open due to low temperature. If necessary, move
the vehicle to a heated indoor
area to operate the top.
. If the top has recently been
cycled repeatedly or left in an
intermediate state, it will be
temporarily disabled. A DIC
message displays. Normal
operation will be restored within
10 minutes after the system has
cooled.
. If the vehicle battery is low, the
power top operation may be
disabled. Try to start the vehicle.
A DIC message displays.
. If the battery has recently been
reconnected or if the vehicle has
been jump started, the top may
not operate until the power
windows have been indexed.
Complete the power window
indexing procedure. See Power
Windows 048.
Other features may be affected
while operating the convertible top: .
The trunk can only be opened
with the key until the convertible
top is completely opened or
closed.
. The windows cannot close while
the top is moving.
. When driving with the top not
fully secured, chimes can be
heard above 80 km/h (50 mph).
If the vehicle battery has been
disconnected and reconnected, the
fuses were pulled or replaced, or a
jump start was performed, the TOP
NOT SECURE message may
display. Press and hold
Mto
open/close the top until this
message is cleared.
Partial Top Cycling
If the convertible top operation is
stopped before completion, the top
will temporarily hold its position.
If the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, the top will be held
for up to five minutes, then pulse
down. If the vehicle is moving or off,
the amount of time will vary from a
few seconds to about a minute.

Instruments and Controls 109
The accessory power outlet does
not work when the ignition is turned
off and the driver door is opened.
This helps to preserve the battery
life of the vehicle.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
overload vehicle and adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see
your dealer.
Caution
Adding any electrical equipment
to the vehicle may damage it or
keep other components from
working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not use
equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of
15 amperes. Check with your
dealer before adding electrical
equipment.When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See
Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0247.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from
the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty. The power
outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only, such
as cell phone charge cords.
Wireless Charging
If equipped, the vehicle has wireless
charging in the storage bin at the
back of the floor console. The
system operates at 145 kHZ and
wirelessly charges one PMA or Qi
compatible mobile device. The
power output of the system is
capable of charging at a rate up to
1 amp (5W), as requested by the
compatible mobile device. See
Radio Frequency Statement 0358 To check for phone or other device
compatibility:
.
In the U.S., see
my.chevrolet.com/learn.
. In Canada, see
gmtotalconnect.ca.
. Or, see your dealer for details.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical
devices. If you have one, it is
recommended to consult with
your doctor before using the
wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) must be
active. The wireless charging
feature may not correctly indicate
charging when the vehicle is in RAP.

Vehicle Care 279
Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit
until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed. This
greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by
electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be
borrowed. Choose some feature of
the vehicle that is not needed to use
and replace it as soon as possible.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause
the lamps to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain off. Have the
headlamp wiring checked right away
if the lamps go on and off or
remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected
from electrical overload, overload
due to heavy snow or ice may
cause wiper linkage damage.
Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using the
windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow or
ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.
To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are
marked with their ampere rating.
Do not exceed the
specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit
breakers. Use of an oversized
fuse or circuit breaker can result
in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or
killed.

280 Vehicle Care
Fuses of the same amperage can
be temporarily borrowed from
another fuse location, if a fuse goes
out. Replace the fuse as soon as
possible.
To identify and check fuses, circuit
breakers, and relays, seeEngine
Compartment Fuse Block 0280 and
Rear Compartment Fuse Block
0 283.
Engine Compartment
Fuse Block
To remove the hinged fuse block
cover, press the clip at the front of
the cover, and swing it up.
Caution
Do not pull the engine
compartment fuse block lever,
since it is intended only for
service purposes. If pulled,
vehicle malfunction may occur.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may
damage it. Always keep the
covers on any electrical
component.
