.The device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation of the
device.
Changes or modifications to any of
these systems by other than an
authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
Utility Interruption of
Charging
If using AC charging, this vehicle
will respond to remote requests
through OnStar to limit or
completely block electrical power
grid usage for brief time periods.
A utility interruption of charging may
increase AC vehicle charge times.
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.
A pop-up will appear in the center
stack display during the key cycle
following any utility interruption. See
“Charging Interrupted or Overridden
Pop-Up”
underProgrammable
Charging 0118.
A message will display on the
instrument cluster indicating that a
utility interruption has occurred. See
Instrument Cluster 0100.
Charging Station
Troubleshooting
If the vehicle does not charge after
being plugged in to a residential
240-volt charging station:
1. Verify that the charge mode is set to Immediate.
2. Verify that the charging station’s circuit breaker has not
been tripped.
3. Plug the portable charge cord into the wall outlet, verify that
the indicator light on the charge cord is solid green, and
connect it to the vehicle. See
“Charge Cord Status
Indicators”
inCharge Cord
0 210.
4. If the vehicle charges with the portable charge cord, there
may be a problem with the
charging station. Try to charge
the vehicle with a different
240-volt charging station, such
as a public station. If both
attempts charge the vehicle,
contact the charging station
manufacturer.
