Vehicle Personalization0126.
Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which estimates
the battery's temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of
the battery.
When the battery's state of charge is
low, the voltage is raised slightly to
quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent
overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gauge or a voltage display
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move
up or down. This is normal. If there is
a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle
if the electrical loads are very high.
This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at
idle to produce all the power that is
needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps,
rear window defogger, climate control
fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator's output
and the vehicle's electrical needs.
It can increase engine idle speed to
generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the
power demands of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps
or levels, without being noticeable. In
rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be
noticeable to the driver. If so, a DIC
message might be displayed. If a
battery message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much as
possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Base Level) 0116 or
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(Uplevel) 0119.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery
from being drained, if the interior
courtesy lamps or reading lamps are
accidentally left on. If any of these
lamps are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes, if the

may not come on.
Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the
defrost grille in the middle of the
instrument panel, monitors the solar
heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or
the system will not work properly.
There is also an exterior temperature
sensor behind the front grille. This
sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps maintain thetemperature inside the vehicle. Any
cover on the front of the vehicle could
cause a false reading in the displayed
temperature.
The climate control system uses the
information from these sensors to
maintain comfort settings by
adjusting the outlet temperature, fan
speed, and air delivery mode. The
system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be
used as needed to maintain cool
outlet temperatures.
Afterblow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions,
the fan may stay on or may turn on
and off several times after you turn

panel, and on the rear of the center
console storage.
Move the slider knobs to change the
direction of or to close off the airf low.Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves
from air inlets at the base of the
windshield that could block the
flow of air into the vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the front seats
clear of objects to help circulate the
air inside of the vehicle more
effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood
deflectors can adversely affect the
performance of the system. Check
with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of the
vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to the air
vent slats. This restricts airf low and
may cause damage to the air vents.
