the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings
0205.
Power Outlets
The accessory power outlet
can be used to plug in
electrical equipment, such as a
cell phone or MP3 player.
The vehicle has two accessory
power outlets: one on the
lower center floor console and
one in the rear cargo area. Lift the cover to access the
accessory power outlet.
Certain accessory power
plugs 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
0336.
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. Always unplug electrical
equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment
that exceeds the maximum
15 amps rating.
Wireless Charging
If equipped and enabled, the
vehicle has wireless charging
in the storage under the
armrest. The system operates
at 145 kHz and wirelessly
charges one Qi compatible
smartphone. The power
output of the system is
capable of charging at a rate
up to 3 amp (15 W), as
requested by the compatible
smartphone. See Radio
Frequency Statement
0452.
{Warning
Wireless charging may
affect the operation of an
implanted pacemaker or
other medical devices. If you

The charging system light
comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on, but the
engine is not running, as a
check to show the light is
working. It should go out when
the engine is started.
If the light stays on, or comes
on while driving, there may be
a problem with the electrical
charging system. Have it
checked by your dealer.
Driving while this light is on
could drain the battery.
When this light comes on, or is
flashing, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) also displays a
message.
If a short distance must be
driven with the light on, be
sure to turn off all
accessories, such as the radio
and air conditioner. Find a safe
place to stop the vehicle.Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine
Light)
This light is part of the
vehicle’s emission control
on-board diagnostic system.
If this light is on while the
engine is running, a
malfunction has been
detected and the vehicle may
require service. The light
should come on to show that it
is working when the ignition is
in Service Mode. See Ignition
Positions0252.
Malfunctions are often
indicated by the system
before any problem is
noticeable. Being aware of the
light and seeking service
promptly when it comes on
may prevent damage.
Caution
If the vehicle is driven
continually with this light on,
the emission control system
may not work as well, the
fuel economy may be lower,
and the vehicle may not run
smoothly. This could lead to
costly repairs that might not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Caution
Modifications to the engine,
transmission, exhaust,
intake, or fuel system, or the
use of replacement tires
that do not meet the original
tire specifications, can cause
this light to come on. This
could lead to costly repairs
not covered by the vehicle
warranty. This could also
affect the vehicle’s ability to
pass an Emissions

Statement0452.
Universal Remote
System Programming
If equipped, these buttons are
in the overhead console.
This system can replace up to
three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems,
and home automation devices.
These instructions refer to a
garage door opener, but can
be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal
Remote system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the stop and reverse
feature. This includes any
garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Read these instructions
completely before
programming the Universal
Remote system. It may help to
have another person assist
with the programming
process.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the
programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons”
later in this
section.
To program a garage door
opener, park outside directly in
line with and facing the garage

door opener receiver. Clear all
people and objects near the
garage door.
Make sure the hand-held
transmitter has a new battery
for quicker and more accurate
transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the
Universal Remote System
For questions or programming
help, see www.homelink.com/
gm or call 1-800-355-3515.
For calls placed outside the
U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico,
international rates will apply
and may differ based on
landline or mobile phone.
Programming involves
time-sensitive actions, and
may time out causing the
procedure to be repeated.
To program up to three
devices:1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal
Remote system buttons
with the indicator light in
view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener
receiver.
2. Press and release one of the three Universal
Remote system buttons to
be programmed. Press and
hold the hand-held
transmitter button. Do not
release the hand-held
transmitter button until
the indicator light changes
from a slow to a rapid flash
or continuous light. Then
release the hand-held
transmitter button.
Some garage door
openers may require
substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure under
“Radio Signals for Some
Gate Operators” later in
this section. 3. Press and hold the newly
programmed Universal
Remote system button for
five seconds while
watching the indicator light
and garage door
activation.
.If the indicator light
stays on continuously or
the garage door moves
when the button is
pressed, then
programming is
complete. There is no
need to complete
Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light does
not come on or the
garage door does not
move, a second button
press may be required.
For a second time, press
and hold the newly
programmed button for
five seconds. If the
indicator light is
continuously lit, or the
garage door moves,
programming is
complete.

Instruments and Controls 149
.If the indicator light
flashes rapidly and the
garage door does not
move, continue with
programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1– 3, locate the Learn or
Smart button inside the
garage on the garage door
opener receiver. The name
and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button.
Step 6 must be completed
within 30 seconds of
pressing this button. 6. Return to the vehicle and
firmly press and hold the
trained Universal Remote
system button for
two seconds and release.
Repeat the “press/hold/
release” sequence up to
three times to complete
the training process.
The Universal Remote system
should now activate the
garage door.
Repeat the process for
programming the two
remaining buttons.
Radio Signals for Some
Gate Operators
For questions or programming
help, see www.homelink.com/
gm or call 1-800-355-3515.
For calls placed outside the
U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico,
international rates will apply
and may differ based on
landline or mobile phone.
Some radio-frequency laws
and gate operators require
transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not
be long enough for the
Universal Remote system to
pick up the signal during
programming.
If the programming did not
work, replace Step 2 under
“Programming the Universal
Remote System”
with the
following:
Press and hold the Universal
Remote system button while
pressing and releasing the
hand-held transmitter button
every two seconds until the
signal has been successfully
accepted by the Universal
Remote system. The Universal
Remote system indicator light
will flash slowly at first and
then change to a rapid flash or
continuous solid-light. Proceed
with Step 3 under
“Programming the Universal
Remote System” to complete.
