{Warning
The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision if the top
tether strap is damaged. Properly secure
all cargo.
{Warning
Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or
collision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury. Use suitable ropes or
straps to secure cargo.
{Warning
Never allow anyone to ride in the cargo

the cargo area of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more
likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area
of the vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. Be sure everyone in
the vehicle is in a seat and using a seat
belt properly.

{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and windows.
Reduced visibility from snow and ice
buildup could lead to a crash. Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If frozen to the

Damaged blades should be replaced.

Compass
This vehicle may have a compass in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
Compass Zone
Your dealer will set the correct zone for
your location.
Under certain circumstances, such as during
a long distance cross-country trip or moving
to a new state or province, it will be
necessary to compensate for compass
variance by resetting the zone through the
DIC if the zone is not set correctly.
Compass variance is the difference between
the earth's magnetic north and true
geographic north. If the compass is not set

Chevrolet Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
15555951) - 2022 - CRC - 1/27/22
Instruments and Controls 69
to the zone where you live, the compass
may give false readings. The compass must
be set to the variance zone in which the
vehicle is traveling.
To adjust for compass variance, use the
following procedure:
Compass Variance (Zone) Procedure1. Do not set the compass zone when the vehicle is moving. Only set it when the
vehicle is in P (Park).
Press
Tuntil PRESSVTO CHANGE
COMPASS ZONE displays.
2. Find the vehicle's current location and variance zone number on the map.
Zones 1 through 15 are available. 3. Press
Vto scroll through and select the
appropriate variance zone.
4. Press
3until the vehicle heading, for
example, N for North, is displayed in
the DIC.
5. If calibration is necessary, calibrate the compass. See “Compass Calibration
Procedure” following.
Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually calibrated.
Only calibrate the compass in a magnetically
clean and safe location, such as an open
parking lot, where driving the vehicle in
circles is not a danger. It is suggested to
calibrate away from tall buildings, utility
wires, manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the DIC display,
the compass should be calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a heading,
for example, N for North, or the heading
does not change after making turns, there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering
with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic CB or cell phone
antenna mount, a magnetic emergency
light, magnetic note pad holder, or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle,
move the magnetic item, then turn on the
vehicle and calibrate the compass.
To calibrate the compass, use the following
procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure the compass zone is set to the
variance zone in which the vehicle is
located. See “Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches such as
window, climate controls, seats, etc.
during the calibration procedure.
2. Press
Tuntil PRESSVTO CALIBRATE
COMPASS displays.
3. Press
Vto start the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in tight
circles at less than 8 km/h (5 mph) to
complete the calibration. The DIC will
display CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a few
seconds when the calibration is
complete. The DIC display will then
return to PRESS
VTO CALIBRATE

Power Outlets
Power Outlets 12 Volt Direct Current
The accessory power outlets can be used to
plug in electrical equipment, such as a cell
phone or an MP3 player.
The vehicle may have two accessory power
outlets on the instrument panel.
Remove the cover to access and replace
when not in use.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the accessory power outlet
and could overload vehicle or adapter fuses.
If a problem is experienced, see your dealer.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the outlets.
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.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure
to follow the proper installation instructions
included with the equipment. See Add-On
Electrical Equipment 0171.
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.
Power Outlet 110/120 Volt Alternating
Current
This power outlet can be used to plug in
electrical equipment that uses a maximum
limit of 150 watts.

Chevrolet Express Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./Canada/Mexico-
15555951) - 2022 - CRC - 1/27/22
Instruments and Controls 71
The 110/120 volt power outlet is on the
instrument panel.
An indicator light on the outlet turns on to
show it is in use. The light comes on when
the ignition is on, equipment requiring less
than 150 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
150 watts or a system fault is detected, a
protection circuit shuts off the power supply
and the indicator 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. SeeRetained
Accessory Power (RAP) 0133.
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
Cigarette Lighter
If equipped with a cigarette lighter, to heat,
push it in all the way and let go. When it is
ready for use, it will pop back out by itself.
Do not use the lighter to plug in accessory
devices. Use the power outlets provided.
Caution
Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is
heating does not let the lighter back
away from the heating element when it
is hot. Damage from overheating can
occur to the lighter or heating element,
or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.
Ashtrays
If equipped with a removable ashtray, it can
be placed into the front floor console
cupholder. Open the cover to use.
Caution
If papers, pins, or other flammable items
are put in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or
other smoking materials could ignite
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
them and possibly damage the vehicle.
Never put flammable items in the
ashtray.
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.
