charging your vehicle. See your dealer for
service.
Charge Level Selection
Charge level selection can be made using
the Charging tab in the Energy Application
on the infotainment display. For instructions
to set cord limit settings for a charge
session, seeCharging0123.
{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.
Troubleshooting
Disconnect the charge cord from the vehicle
and confirm that the attachment plug is not
too hot to grasp before removing. If it is not hot, manually reboot the charge
cord by unplugging and re-plugging the
attachment plug into the electrical outlet.
If the same fault reoccurs, test the charge
cord with a different electrical outlet.
The charge cord monitors temperature at
several locations and may reduce charging
power or interrupt charging if temperatures
become too high. The charge cord status
indicators illuminate and identify this fault.
In hot climates, move the charge cord away
from direct sunlight and/or hot surfaces
such as asphalt paving for approximately
30 minutes.
If there are signs of melting or scorching, do
not touch the charge cord or attachment
plug. Have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair the issue.
If there are no signs of damage, check how
firm the fit of the plug is. If the plug easily
pulls away from the electrical outlet, test
the plug on a known good electrical outlet.
If the fault condition returns, have your
charge cord inspected by your dealership.
If the fault does not return, stop using the
suspected circuit and have a qualified
electrician inspect and repair the issue.
Grounding Instructions
The charge circuit must be grounded. If the
charge circuit should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product is
equipped with a cord that has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
{Warning
Improper connection of the charge cord
ground may cause electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if there is
doubt as to whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product. If it will
not fit the electrical outlet, have a proper
electrical outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

16702912) - 2024 - CRC - 1/17/23
306 Driving and Operating
This symbol is on the Trailer Brake Control
Panel on vehicles with an ITBC system. The
power output to the trailer brakes is
proportional to the amount of vehicle
braking. This available power output to the
trailer brakes can be adjusted to a wide
range of trailering situations.
The ITBC system is integrated with the
vehicle brakes, Antilock Brake System (ABS),
and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) systems. In trailering conditions that
cause the vehicle’s anti-lock brake or
StabiliTrak/ESC systems to activate, power
sent to the trailer's brakes will be
automatically adjusted to minimize trailer
wheel lock-up. This does not imply that the
trailer has StabiliTrak/ESC.
If the vehicle brakes, ABS, or StabiliTrak/ESC
systems are not functioning properly, the
ITBC system may not function fully or at all.
Make sure all of these systems are fully
operational to allow the ITBC system to
function properly.
The ITBC system is powered through the
vehicle's electrical system. Turning the
vehicle off will also turn off the ITBC
system. The ITBC system is fully functional
only when the vehicle is in ON/RUN.{Warning
Connecting a trailer that has an air brake
system may result in reduced or
complete loss of trailer braking, including
increased stopping distance or trailer
instability which could result in serious
injury, death, or property damage. Only
use the ITBC system with electric or
electric over hydraulic trailer brake
systems.

{Warning
Driving while the trailer braking system is
malfunctioning may increase loading on
the vehicle's braking system or lead to
trailer instability. Use caution. Drive
slowly and allow for increased stopping
distances.
A GM dealer may be able to diagnose and
repair problems with the trailer. However,
any diagnosis and repair of the trailer is not
covered under the vehicle warranty. Contact
your trailer dealer for assistance with trailer
repairs and trailer warranty information.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) have a Trailer Sway Control
(TSC) feature. Trailer sway is unintended
side-to-side motion of a trailer while towing.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is increasing, the vehicle
brakes are selectively applied at each wheel,
to help reduce excessive trailer sway.
If equipped with the Integrated Trailer Brake
Control (ITBC) system, and the trailer has an
electric brake system, StabiliTrak may also
apply the trailer brakes.
If TSC is enabled, the Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak warning light will
flash on the instrument cluster. Reduce
vehicle speed by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator. If trailer sway
continues, StabiliTrak can help slow the
vehicle down. TSC will not function if
StabiliTrak is turned off. See Traction
Control/Electronic Stability Control 0207.
{Warning
Trailer sway can result in a crash and in
serious injury or death, even if the
vehicle is equipped with TSC.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If the trailer begins to sway, reduce
vehicle speed by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator. Then pull over
to check the trailer and vehicle to help
correct possible causes, including an
improperly or overloaded trailer,
unrestrained cargo, improper trailer hitch
configuration, or improperly inflated or
incorrect vehicle or trailer tires. See
Towing Equipment0301 for trailer
ratings and hitch setup recommendations.
Aftermarket Electronic Trailer Sway
Control Devices
Some trailers may come equipped with an
electronic device designed to reduce or
control trailer sway. Aftermarket equipment
manufacturers also offer similar devices that
connect to the wiring between the trailer
and the vehicle. These devices may interfere
with the vehicle’s trailer brake systems or
other systems, including integrated
anti-sway systems, if equipped. Messages
related to trailer connections or trailer
brakes could appear on the DIC. The effects

310 Driving and Operating
of these aftermarket devices on vehicle
handling or trailer brake performance is not
known.
{Warning
Use of aftermarket electronic trailer sway
control devices could result in reduced
trailer brake performance, loss of trailer
brakes, or other malfunctions, and result
in a crash. You or others could be
seriously injured or killed. Before using
one of these devices:
.Ask the device or trailer manufacturer
if the device has been thoroughly
tested for compatibility with the
make, model, and year of your vehicle
and any optional equipment installed
on your vehicle.
.Before driving, check the trailer brakes
are working properly, if equipped.
Drive the vehicle with the trailer
attached on a level road surface that
is free of traffic at about 32-40 km/h
(20-25 mph) and fully apply the
manual trailer brake apply lever. Also,
check the trailer brake lamps and
other lamps are functioning correctly.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.If the trailer brakes are not operating
properly at any time, or if a DIC
message indicates problems with the
trailer connections or trailer brakes,
carefully pull the vehicle over to the
side of the road when traffic
conditions allow.
Trailer Tires
Special Trailer (ST) tires differ from vehicle
tires. Trailer tires are designed with stiff
sidewalls to help prevent sway and to
support heavy loads. These features can
make it difficult to determine if the trailer
tire pressures are low only based on a visual
inspection.
Always check all trailer tire pressures before
each trip when the tires are cool. Low trailer
tire pressure is a leading cause of trailer tire
blow-outs.
If the vehicle is equipped with a trailer tire
pressure monitoring system, see the trailer
tire pressure monitoring system description
and the trailering app. Trailer tires deteriorate over time. The trailer
tire sidewall will show the week and year
the tire was manufactured. Many trailer tire
manufacturers recommend replacing tires
more than six years old.
Overloading is another leading cause of
trailer tire blow-outs. Never load your trailer
with more weight than the tires are
designed to support. The load rating is
located on the trailer tire sidewall.
Always know the maximum speed rating for
the trailer tires before driving. This may be
significantly lower than the vehicle tire
speed rating. The speed rating may be on
the trailer tire sidewall. If the speed rating is
not shown, the default trailer tire speed
rating is 105 km/h (65 mph).
