With Rainsense, if the transmission is
in N (Neutral) and the vehicle speed is
very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to normal
when the transmission is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed has
increased.

Compass
The vehicle may have a compass
display on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). The compass receives its
heading and other information from
the Global Positioning System (GPS)
antenna, StabiliTrak
®, and vehicle
speed information.
The compass system is designed to
operate for a certain number of miles
or degrees of turn before needing a
signal from the GPS satellites. When
the compass display shows CAL, drive
the vehicle for a short distance in an
open area where it can receive a GPS
signal. The compass system will
automatically determine when a GPS
signal is restored and provide a
heading again.

{Danger
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause a
fire, electrical shock, or burns, and
may result in damage to property,
serious injury, or death.
. Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding adaptors,
surge protectors, or similar
devices.
. Do not use an electrical outlet
that is worn or damaged,
or will not hold the plug
firmly in place.
. Do not use an electrical outlet
that is not properly grounded.
. Do not use an electrical outlet

Programmable Charge Modes
This vehicle has three programmable
charge modes. To view the current
charge mode status in the
infotainment display, touch
[in
the infotainment display and then
touch CHARGING at the bottom of
the display.
The Charge Start and Charge
Complete time estimates are also
displayed on the screen. These
estimates are most accurate when the
vehicle is plugged in and in moderate
temperature conditions. Also, to get
an accurate time estimate, the vehicle
uses an internal clock for
programmable charging, not the clock
in the infotainment display.
Charge Mode Status
Immediately : The vehicle starts
charging as soon as it is connected to
an electrical outlet. See Plug-In
Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0274.
Delay Charge Based on Departure
Time : The vehicle estimates the
charging start time considering the
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. 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.

3.6L V6 Engine Coolant Surge Tank
Check to see if coolant is visible in the
coolant surge tank. If the coolant
inside the coolant surge tank is
boiling, do not do anything else until
it cools down. See Engine Overheating
0 321.
The coolant surge tank is in the
engine compartment on the passenger
side of the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0300.
How to Add Coolant to the
Coolant Surge Tank
If no problem is found, check to see if
coolant is visible in the coolant surge
tank. If coolant is visible but not at or above the indicated mark, add a 50/
50 mixture of clean, drinkable water
and DEX-COOL coolant. Be sure the
cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap, is cool before
this is done. See
Engine Overheating
0 321.
{Warning
Spilling coolant on hot engine parts
can burn you. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol and it will burn if
the engine parts are hot enough.
{Warning
Steam and scalding liquids from a
hot cooling system are under
pressure. Turning the pressure cap,
even a little, can cause them to
come out at high speed and you
could be burned. Never turn the cap
when the cooling system, including
the pressure cap, is hot. Wait for
the cooling system and pressure
cap to cool.
Caution
Failure to follow the specific
coolant fill procedure could cause
the engine to overheat and could
cause system damage. If coolant is
not visible in the surge tank,
contact your dealer.
1. Remove the coolant surge tank
pressure cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and
upper radiator hose, is no
longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about
one-quarter of a turn. If you hear
a hiss, wait for that to stop. This
will allow any pressure still left
to be vented out the
discharge hose.

The coolant reservoir for the TPIM is
filled with GM Premix DEX-COOL
coolant. SeeRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0399. If using this mixture,
nothing else needs to be added.
The coolant needs to be replaced at
the appropriate interval. See
Maintenance Schedule 0390.
Checking Coolant
The vehicle must be on a level surface
when checking the coolant level.
The coolant reservoir is in the engine
compartment. See Engine Compartment
Overview 0300.
Check to see if coolant is visible in the
reservoir. If coolant is visible but the
coolant level is below the indicated
mark, there could be a leak in the
cooling system.
Caution
Do not run the engine when there
is a leak in the PLUG-IN cooling
system. This can cause a loss of all
coolant and can damage the system
and the vehicle. Have any leaks
fixed right away.
How to Add Coolant to the
Coolant Reservoir
If no problem is found, add the proper
DEX-COOL coolant mixture at the
coolant reservoir.
The coolant reservoir pressure cap can
be removed when the cooling system,
including the pressure cap, is no
longer hot.
1. Turn the pressure cap counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Fill the coolant reservoir with the proper mixture to the indicated
mark on the side of the reservoir.
3. Reinstall the pressure cap tightly.
Caution
If the pressure caps are not secured
and tightened properly, coolant loss
and damage to the PLUG-IN cooling
systems or vehicle may occur. Make
sure the caps are properly and
tightly secured.
Check the level in the coolant
reservoir when the cooling system has
cooled down. If the coolant is not at
the proper level, repeat Steps 1 and 2,
then reinstall the pressure cap. If the
coolant still is not at the proper level
when the system cools down again,
see your dealer.

Tire Sealant
Read and follow the safe handling
instructions on the label adhered to
the tire sealant canister (4).
Check the tire sealant expiration date
on the tire sealant canister. The tire
sealant canister (4) should be replaced
before its expiration date.
Replacement tire sealant canisters are
available at your local dealer.
There is only enough sealant to seal
one tire. After usage, the tire sealant
canister must be replaced.
Using the Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit to Temporarily
Seal and Inflate a
Punctured Tire
When using the tire sealant and
compressor kit during cold
temperatures, warm the kit in a
heated environment for five minutes.
This will help to inflate the tire faster.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire
and wheel damage by driving slowly
to a level place. Turn on the hazard
warning flashers. SeeHazard Warning
Flashers 0186.
See If a Tire Goes Flat 0360 for other
important safety warnings.
Do not remove any objects that have
penetrated the tire.
1. Remove the tire sealant canister (4) and compressor from
its storage location. See Storing
the Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit 0368.
2. Remove the air only hose (10) and the power plug (9) from the
bottom of the compressor. 3. Place the compressor on the
ground near the flat tire.
4. Attach the air only hose (10) tothe sealant canister inlet
valve (1) by turning it clockwise
until tight.
