Programmable Charging
Important Information about Portable Electric
Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can stress a
building’s electrical system more than a
typical household appliance.
.Before plugging into any electrical outlet,
have a qualified electrician inspect and
verify the electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and protection
devices) for heavy-duty service at a
12 amp continuous load.
.Electrical outlets may wear out with
normal usage or may be damaged over
time, making them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug while
charging and discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the
electrical outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an electrical
outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
.Mount the charging cord to reduce strain
on the electrical outlet/plug.
.Do not place the charge cord in a position
where it is expected to be submerged in
water.
{Danger
Improper use of portable electric vehicle
charge cords may cause a fire, electrical
shock, or burns, and may result in
damage to property, serious injury,
or death.
.Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips, splitters,
grounding adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
worn or damaged, or will not hold the
plug firmly in place.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
not properly grounded.
.Do not use an electrical outlet that is
on a circuit with other electrical loads.

Propulsion Power Messages
PROPULSION POWER IS REDUCED
This message displays when the vehicle's
propulsion power is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect the vehicle's
ability to accelerate. If this message is on,
but there is no observed reduction in
performance, proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the performance
may be reduced the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be driven while this
message is on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced. Anytime this
message stays on, or displays repeatedly,
the vehicle should be taken to your dealer
for service as soon as possible.
Under certain operating conditions
propulsion will be disabled. Try restarting
after the ignition has been off for
30 seconds.

Exit Lighting
Some exterior lamps and interior lamps turn
on when the vehicle is powered off.
The exterior and interior lamps remain on
for a set amount of time, then automatically
turn off. If equipped with Keyless Access,
the exterior lamps automatically turn on
when the driver door is opened after the
vehicle is powered off.
The interior lights turn on when the vehicle
is powered off.
The exterior lamps turn off immediately by
turning the exterior lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See Vehicle
Personalization 0102.
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
ignition is off. The lamps will not come back
on again until one of the following occurs:
.The vehicle is powered on.
.The doors are closed and then re-opened.
Battery Saver
The vehicle is equipped with electrical power
management (EPM). EPM monitors and
controls the charging system. The message
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE displays on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) when the
EPM detects the battery may be draining
too quickly, the charge state needs to be
reset, or the Auxiliary Power Module failed.
If safe to do so, when BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE displays, manually shut off
windshield wipers, communications
equipment, climate controls, etc. to slow the
battery from draining. See Automatic
Climate Control System 0148.
If the message still displays, fully charge the
vehicle. Once fully charged, unplug the
vehicle and let the vehicle sit an additional
8.5 hours or greater without being
interrupted to allow the Body Control
Module (BCM) to reset the battery to the
required state of charge.
The following may interrupt the vehicle:
.Charging the vehicle
.Battery Maintenance Mode
.Approach Detection is activated
.The Key Fob is left in the car or left in
close proximity of the vehicle
.Pressing buttons on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter
.Opening the doors or tailgate
To reduce the occurrence of this alert, GM
recommends letting the vehicle sit
uninterrupted for 8.5 hours or greater on a
weekly basis.
If after completing this process the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE message remains, see your
dealer for service.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes
after the vehicle is turned off, if the parking
lamps or headlamps have been manually
left on. This protects against draining the
battery. To restart the 10-minute timer, turn
the exterior lamp control to the
Oposition
and then back to the
;or2position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the vehicle must be powered on.

Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the accessory
power outlets if there is interference or
static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km (10
to 40 mi). Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically works to
reduce interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or hills,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The longer
range can cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite Radio Service
provides digital radio reception. Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite
radio signals, causing the sound to fade in
and out. In addition, traveling or standing
