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 thestate 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)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132.

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 airflow and may
cause damage to the air
vents.
Maintenance
Passenger
Compartment Air
Filter
The filter reduces dust, pollen,
and other airborne irritants
from outside air that is pulled
into the vehicle. The filter
should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled
maintenance. See
Maintenance Schedule0469.
See your dealer regarding
replacement of the filter.
Service
All vehicles have a label
underhood that identifies the
refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained
and certified technicians. The
air conditioning evaporator
should never be repaired or
replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced by a new
evaporator to ensure proper
and safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants
should be reclaimed with
proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the
atmosphere is harmful to the
environment and may also
create unsafe conditions
based on inhalation,
combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system
requires periodic maintenance.

Warning (Continued)
however, use a scraper
or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of
the wheel hub with wheel
bearing grease after a
wheel change or tire
rotation to prevent
corrosion or rust build-up.
{Warning
Do not apply grease to
the wheel mounting
surface, wheel conical
seats, or the wheel nuts
or bolts. Grease applied
to these areas could
cause a wheel to become
loose or come off,
resulting in a crash.
When It Is Time for
New Tires
Factors, such as maintenance,
temperatures, driving speeds,
vehicle loading, and road
conditions affect the wear
rate of the tires.
Treadwear indicators are one
way to tell when it is time for
new tires. Treadwear
indicators appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 in)
or less of tread remaining. See
Tire Inspection 0429 and
Tire Rotation 0429. The rubber in tires ages over
time. This also applies to the
spare tire, if the vehicle has
one, even if it is never used.
Multiple factors including
temperatures, loading
conditions, and inflation
pressure maintenance affect
how fast aging takes place.
GM recommends that tires,
including the spare if
equipped, be replaced after six
years, regardless of tread
wear. To identify the age of a
tire, use the tire manufacture
date, which is the last four
digits of the DOT Tire
Identification Number (TIN)
molded into one side of the
tire sidewall. The last four
digits of the TIN indicate the
tire manufactured date. The
first two digits represent the
week and the last two digits,
the year. For example, the
third week of the year 2020
would have a 4-digit DOT date
of 0320. Week 01 is the first
full week (Sunday through
Saturday) of each year.
