{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
–will not
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
on the Target Charge Level indication or
attempting to change the setting will pop
out a window that shows your current and
projected range.
The main Target Charge Level screen can be
found by pressing Target Charge Level in the
Charging Options.
Touch + or –to increase or decrease the
charge level, or drag the dark horizontal
white line up and down on the graphic to

SeeRadio Frequency Statement 0294.
Utility Interruption of Charging
This vehicle will respond to requests through
the utility company to limit or completely
block electrical power grid usage. This
feature is inactive during DC charging.
A utility interruption of charging will
lengthen the vehicle charge time.
When electrical grid power is completely
blocked, the vehicle will delay charging until
the utility interruption has expired. The
vehicle should be left plugged in so that the
vehicle can automatically begin charging. Changing the charge mode to Immediate or
performing a delayed charging override will
not disable a utility interruption. Unplugging
and plugging the car back in will also not
disable a utility interruption.
A pop-up will appear in the infotainment
display while starting the vehicle following
any utility interruption. See
“Charging
Interrupted or Overridden Pop-Up” under
Programmable Charging 090.
A message will display on the instrument
cluster indicating that a utility interruption
has occurred.

244 Vehicle Care
Warning (Continued)
.Reduced battery-electric range.
Overinflated tires, or tires that have
too much air, can result in:
.Unusual wear.
.Poor handling.
.Rough ride.
.Needless damage from road
hazards.
The Tire and Loading Information label
on the vehicle indicates the original
equipment tires and the correct cold
tire inflation pressures. The
recommended pressure is the minimum
air pressure needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load carrying
capacity. See Vehicle Load Limits 0162.
How the vehicle is loaded affects
vehicle handling and ride comfort.
Never load the vehicle with more
weight than it was designed to carry. When to Check
Check the pressure of the tires once a
month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gauge
to check the tire pressure. Proper tire
inflation cannot be determined by
looking at the tire. Check the tire
inflation pressure when the tires are
cold, meaning the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours or no
more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from the tire
valve stem. Press the tire gauge firmly
onto the valve to get the pressure
measurement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label, no further adjustment
is necessary.
If the inflation pressure is low, add air
until the recommended pressure is
reached. If the inflation pressure in
high, press on the metal stem in thecenter of the tire valve to release air.
Re-check the tire pressure with the tire
gauge.
Put the valve caps back on the valve
stems to keep out dirt and moisture.
Use only valve caps designed for the
vehicle by GM. TPMS sensors could be
damaged and would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty.Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses radio and sensor technology to check
tire pressure levels. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in your tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)

Global Positioning System (GPS)
.Obstruction of the GPS can occur in a
large city with tall buildings; in parking
garages; around airports; in tunnels and
underpasses; or in an area with very
dense trees. If GPS signals are not
available, the OnStar system should still
operate to call OnStar. However, OnStar
could have difficulty identifying the exact
location.
.In emergency situations, OnStar can use
the last stored GPS location to send to
emergency responders. A temporary loss of GPS can cause loss of
the ability to send a Turn-by-Turn
Navigation route. The Advisor may give a
verbal route or may ask for a call back after
the vehicle is driven into an open area.
Cellular and GPS Antennas
Cellular reception is required for OnStar to
send remote signals to the vehicle. Do not
place items over or near the antenna to
prevent blocking cellular and GPS signal
reception.
Unable to Connect to OnStar Message
If there is limited cellular coverage or the
cellular network has reached maximum
capacity, this message may come on. Press
Qto try the call again or try again after
driving a few miles into another
cellular area.
Vehicle and Power Issues
OnStar services require a vehicle electrical
system, wireless service, and GPS satellite
technologies to be available and operating
for features to function properly. These
systems may not operate if the battery is
discharged or disconnected.
