76 Instruments and Controls
Power Outlets
There are two accessory power outlets:
Interior Power Outlet
Underhood Power OutletThe outlet under the glove box can be used
to plug in electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone.
Lift the cover to access and replace when
not in use.
The power outlet under the glove box is
powered when the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or until the driver door is
opened within 10 minutes of turning off the
vehicle. See
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
0 194.
The underhood outlet is powered at all
times. The vehicle battery may run down if
the power outlet is used while the ignition
is off. Use this power outlet for plugging in
the battery maintainer, if equipped.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the
underhood 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.
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment plugged in
for an extended period of time while the
vehicle is off will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment when
not in use and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum 20 amp
rating.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or 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 0228.
It is recommended that a qualified
technician or dealer be seen for the proper
installation of your equipment.
Caution
Hanging heavy equipment from the
power outlet can cause damage not
covered by the vehicle warranty. The

Performance Data
Recorder (PDR)
If equipped, the PDR icon displays on the
Home Page.
Important Information
Use of the PDR may be prohibited or legally
restricted in certain countries and situations.
Ensure compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, including, but not limited to:
privacy laws, laws related to camera
surveillance and recordings, road traffic and
security laws, and laws on the protection of
publicity and personality rights.
.Do not use the PDR if it causes
distraction.
.Do not rely on camera footage to steer
the vehicle.
.Comply with any notice and consent
requirements before capturing and/or
recording the voices or images of other
persons or before collecting other
personal data.
.Notify other drivers of your vehicle about
the above rules and require them to
comply.
.General Motors does not accept any
responsibility or liability in connection
with use that is not permitted.
.Law enforcement authorities may have
the right to seize video recordings and
use them as evidence of criminal/driving
offenses against you or third parties.
The PDR records video, audio, and vehicle
data. This data is stored on a removable SD
card in the glove box.
The recorded data is not stored anywhere
else and is only accessible from the SD card.
To optimize PDR performance, it is
recommended that the SD card is formatted
on a regular basis. Back up all recordings on
the SD card prior to formatting. Formatting
the SD card will delete all saved recordings.
To begin, insert an exFAT formatted SD card,
Class 10 required, 16 GB or larger
recommended, into the glove box SD card
reader.

Vehicle Care 255
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 fuses. This
greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
{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.
{Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM’s original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
See Accessories and Modifications 0231 and
General Information 0231.
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.
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.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is behind
the glove box. The glove box can be
accessed by unlatching the door damper and
squeezing the pivot to release the damper
ring. Pull the glove box bin side walls in to
release the door stops. Then turn the door
until the hinge hooks release from
hinge pin.
