Utility Interruption of

Charging

For participating customers, this
vehicle will respond to remote
requests via OnStar to limit or
completely block electrical power
grid usage for brief time periods.
A utility interruption of charging may
increase 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,
when the utility interruption expires,
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 be displayed in the
center stack display during the key
cycle following any utility
interruption. See Charge Override/
Interruption Pop-up under
Programmable Charging on
page 5 29.
Text will be displayed on the
instrument cluster indicating that a
utility interruption has occurred. See
Instrument Cluster on page 5 8.
