Roof Rack System
{ WarningIf something is carried on top of
the vehicle that is longer or wider
than the roof rack — like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress — the
wind can catch it while the vehicle
is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision
and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider
than the roof rack on top of the
vehicle unless using a GM
certified accessory carrier.
If equipped, the roof rack can be
used to load items. For roof racks
that do not have crossrails included,
GM certified crossrails can be
purchased as an accessory. See
your dealer. CautionLoading cargo on the roof rack
that weighs more than 100 kg
(220 lb) or hangs over the rear or
sides of the vehicle may damage
the vehicle. Do not load cargo
exceeding 100 kg (220 lb) and
always load cargo so that it rests
evenly between the crossrails and
does not block the vehicle lamps
or windows. Fasten the cargo
securely. To prevent damage or loss of cargo
when driving, check to make sure
crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof
rack will make the vehicle ’ s center
of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking, or abrupt maneuvers;
otherwise it may result in loss of
control. If driving for a long distance,
on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to
make sure the cargo remains in its
place. Do not exceed the maximum
vehicle capacity when loading the
vehicle. For more information on
vehicle capacity and loading, see
Vehicle Load Limits 0 169 .

96 Instruments and Controls
Windshield Wiper with Intermittent
Wipes (INT Shown)
With the ignition on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, move the windshield
wiper lever to select the wiper
speed.
HI : Use for fast wipes.
LO : Use for slow wipes. INT : Use for intermittent wipes or
Rainsense, if equipped and
enabled. To adjust wipe frequency,
turn the band up for more frequent
wipes or down for less frequent
wipes. If Rainsense is enabled, see
“ Rainsense ” later in this section.
OFF : Use to turn the wipers off.
1x : For a single wipe, briefly move
the wiper lever down. For several
wipes, hold the wiper lever down.
{ WarningIn freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
{ Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, roof, and rear of the
(Continued) Warning (Continued) vehicle, including all lamps and
windows. Reduced visibility from
snow and ice buildup could lead
to a crash.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged blades should
be replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement 0 252 .
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
Wipe Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they
will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.

100 Instruments and Controls Caution (Continued)use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
20 amp rating.
{ WarningPower is always supplied to the
rear cargo power outlet. Do not
leave electrical equipment
plugged in when the vehicle is not
in use because the vehicle could
catch fire and cause injury or
death.
Certain 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. When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included with
the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0 228 .
CautionHanging 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.
Power Outlet 110/120 Volt
Alternating Current If equipped, this power outlet can be
used to plug in electrical equipment
that uses a maximum limit of 400
watts. The power outlet is on the rear of
the center console.
An indicator light on the outlet turns
on to show it is in use. The light
comes on when the ignition is on
and equipment requiring less than
400 watts is plugged into the outlet,
and no system fault is detected.
The indicator light does not come on
when the ignition is off or if the
equipment is not fully seated into
the outlet.
If equipment is connected using
more than 400 watts or a system
fault is detected, a protection circuit
shuts off the power supply and the
Buick Envision Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
13555857) - 2020 - CRC - 2/25/19
Instruments and Controls 101indicator light turns off. To reset the
circuit, unplug the item and plug it
back in or turn the Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) off and
then back on. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0 179 . The
power restarts when equipment
using 400 watts or less is plugged
into the outlet and a system fault is
not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for
the following and may not work
properly if they are plugged in:
.
Equipment with high initial peak
wattage, such as
compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools
.
Other equipment requiring an
extremely stable power supply,
such as
microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets and touch
sensor lamps
.
Medical equipment Wireless Charging If equipped, the vehicle has a
wireless charging pocket outside the
armrest of the center console. The
system operates at 145 kHz and
wirelessly charges one Qi
compatible smartphone. The power
output of the system is capable of
charging at a rate up to 3 amp
(15W), as requested by the
compatible smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement 0 335 .
{ WarningWireless 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 in Retained
Accessory Power (RAP). The
wireless charging feature may not correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP. See Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0 179 .
The operating temperature is − 20 °C
( − 4 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the compatible
smartphone.
{ WarningRemove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys,
rings, paper clips, or cards,
between the smartphone and the
charger will become very hot. On
the rare occasion that the
charging system does not detect
an object, and the object gets
wedged between the smartphone
and the charger, remove the
smartphone and allow the object
to cool before removing it from
the charging pocket, to prevent
burns.

104 Instruments and Controls
Warning Lights,
Gauges, and
Indicators Warning lights and gauges can
signal that something is wrong
before it becomes serious enough
to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to the
warning lights and gauges could
prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to
indicate they are working. When
one of the warning lights comes on
and stays on while driving, or when
one of the gauges shows there may
be a problem, check the section that
explains what to do. Waiting to do
repairs can be costly and even
dangerous.
