Warning
If something is carried on top of the
vehicle that is longer or wider than
the roof rack —like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress —the wind
can catch it while the vehicle is
being driven. The item being carried
could be violently torn off, and this
could cause a collision and damage
the vehicle. Never carry something
longer or wider than the roof rack
on top of the vehicle unless using a
GM certified accessory carrier. If equipped, the roof rack can be used
to load items. For roof racks that do
not have crossrails included, GM
certified crossrails can be purchased
as an accessory. See your dealer.
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack that
weighs more than 100 kg (220 lb) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the
vehicle may damage the vehicle. Do
not load cargo exceeding 100 kg
(220 lbs) and always load cargo so
that it rests evenly between the
crossrails and does not block the
vehicle lamps or windows. Fasten
the cargo securely.

SeeWiper Blade Replacement 0325.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, washer nozzles, roof,
and rear of the vehicle, including all
lamps and windows. Reduced
visibility from snow and ice buildup
could lead to a crash.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, they will
immediately stop. If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense and the
feature is turned on, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the frequency
of the windshield wiper based on the
current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO :
Move the windshield wiper
lever to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity.
.Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
.Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
.Move the windshield wiper lever out
of the AUTO position to deactivate
Rainsense.
To turn the Rainsense feature on or
off, see “Rain Sense Wipers ”under
Vehicle Personalization 0130.
Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers.

Night Vision System 0278.
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/Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), 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.
Clock
Set the time and date using the
infotainment system. See "Time /
Date" under
Settings0188.
Power Outlets
Power Outlets 12-Volt Direct Current
The vehicle has two 12-volt outlets
that can be used to plug in electrical
equipment, such as a cell phone or
MP3 player.
The power outlets are located:
.Under the front of the center
console.
.In the rear cargo area.
Lift the cover to access the outlet and
replace when not in use.
{Warning
Power is always supplied to the rear
cargo power outlet. Do not leave
electrical equipment plugged in
when the vehicle is not in use
because the vehicle could catch fire
and cause injury or death.

106 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Caution
Leaving electrical equipment
plugged in for an extended period
of time while the ignition is in
LOCK/OFF will drain the battery.
Always unplug electrical equipment
when not in use and do not plug in
equipment that exceeds the
maximum 15 ampere rating.
Certain accessory plugs may not be
compatible with the accessory power
outlet and could overload vehicle and
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 0301.
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.
Wireless Charging
If equipped, the vehicle has wireless
charging in the storage bin 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 (15W),
as requested by the compatible
smartphone. See Radio Frequency
Statement 0406.
{Warning
Wireless charging can affect the
operation of an implanted
pacemaker or other medical devices.
If you have one, it is recommended
to consult with your doctor before
using the wireless charging system.
The vehicle must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be active. The
wireless charging feature may not
correctly indicate charging when the
vehicle is in RAP, or during Bluetooth
phone calls. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) 0237. The operating temperature is
−40 °C
(−40 °F) to 85 °C (185 °F) for the
charging system and 0 °C (32 °F) to
35 °C (95 °F) for the phone. A text
message may be displayed on the
radio indicating that the system is
unable to charge due to high
temperature while the charger or the
phone is above or below these
operating temperature ranges.
{Warning
Remove all objects from the
charging pocket before charging
your compatible smartphone.
Objects, such as coins, keys, rings,
paper clips, or cards, between the
smartphone and the charger will
become very hot. On the rare
occasion that the charging system
does not detect an object, and the
object gets wedged between the
smartphone and the charger,
remove the smartphone and allow
the object to cool before removing
it from the charging pocket, to
prevent burns.

and Indicators
Warning lights and gauges can signal
that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention to the warning lights
and gauges could prevent injury.
Some warning lights come on briefly
when the engine is started to indicate
they are working. When one of the
warning lights comes on and stays on
while driving, or when one of the
gauges shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
