Utility Rate Charging
The vehicle estimates the charging start
time based on the utility rate schedule,
utility rate preference, and programmed
departure time for the current day of the
week. The vehicle will charge during the
least expensive rate periods to achieve a full
battery charge by the departure time. Utility
rate information from the utility company
for the charging location is required for
this mode.
Select one of the following:
Charge Rate Preference
Touch one of the following options to select
the Charge Rate Preference:
.Off-Peak Only: The vehicle will only
charge during Off-Peak rate periods.
.Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: The vehicle will
charge during Off-Peak and/or Mid-Peak
rate periods only and will select when to
charge to minimize the total cost of the
charge.
.Peak, Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: The vehicle can
charge during any rate period to satisfy
the next planned departure time.
However, it will select when to charge to
minimize the total cost of the charge.
Charging begins at the start time and is
complete by the departure time only if
sufficient time is allowed after the charge
cord is plugged in. For example, if the
vehicle is plugged in for only one hour prior
to the departure time, and the battery is
completely discharged, the vehicle will not
be fully charged by the departure time
regardless of the rate selection.
Also, if the selected utility rate settings
result in a very long charge completion
time, the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in. For example,
if the utility rate table is set up with all
Peak rates and the rate preference is to

automatically turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.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 0144. 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 remote key is left in the car or left in
close proximity of the vehicle
.Pressing buttons on the remote key
.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.
