section.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting can be
changed at any time while the infotainment
display is operable.
{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit. Use the lowest charge
level until a qualified electrician inspects
the electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the electrical circuit
or electrical outlet capacity is not known.
Target Charge Level
This mode allows the charging range for the
vehicle to be set based on what is needed.
When at a public pay station and a full
charge is not needed, the target charge level
can be set to only get as much range as
needed. If driving on a hill, the target charge level
can be set to stop the charge before the
battery is full to allow space for energy
from regenerative braking when going down
a hill.
There is a minimum target charge level.
Once this level is reached, the

allow the target charge level bar move
down further.
Target Charge Level can also be set
separately for Location-Based Home and
Away locations. If available, the Home and
Away buttons will appear on the screen.
When Location Based Charging is active, the
Target Charge Level on the Charging Status
screen will automatically update to the
Home or Away setting based on the current
location.
For quick access to the Target Charge Level,
go to the Charging Status screen and the
Target Charge level displays on the right
side of the screen. The dark horizontal white
line can be dragged up and down to the
desired Target Charge Level. Tapping once

or reading lamps are accidentally left on.
If any of these lamps are left on, they
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.
