GMC Hybrid 2006 Owner's Manual page 13

If the system stops supplying 120-volt AC power
unexpectedly and the APO button starts flashing, the
system has detected an overload or ground fault
condition. To reset the system see "Resetting the Short
Circuit, Overload or Ground Fault Detection (GFD)
Circuit" later in this section.
The APO system will operate in the normal mode until
you turn it off by doing one of the following:
•
Pressing the APO button. The light in the APO
button will turn off.
•
Turning the ignition switch to ACCESSORY or
LOCK. See "Ignition Positions" in your owner
manual Index.
Continuous Mode
This mode can be operated only when the vehicle is not
moving and the transmission is in PARK (P) and will
provide up to 2,400 watts of 120-volt AC power to
the outlets.
Continuous mode can be operated with the key removed
from the ignition. The engine will run continuously in this
mode to supply electrical power to the APO system.
You can use the vehicle as a generator in this mode
when no electrical power outlets are available or during
instances such as power outages.
Use this mode to power critical appliances rather than an
entire circuit in a home/building. Never connect the APO
system outlets directly to a building's circuitry or another
power supply.
For more information on running your vehicle while it is
parked, see "Parking Over Things that Burn," "Engine
Exhaust," and "Running Your Engine While You Are
Parked" in your owner manual Index.
To activate the continuous mode, do the following:
1. Place the transmission in PARK (P) with the ignition
in RUN and the engine running. See "Ignition
Positions" in your owner manual Index.
2. Press and hold the
APO button, located
on the instrument
panel, for longer than
two seconds. The light
next to the APO button
should begin to flash
and the DIC message,
120V READY will
appear.
