Heating And Air Conditioning - Chevrolet Silverado 2014 Owner's Manual Supplement

Battery % Gauge
The red needle on the battery
percentage gauge indicates the
remaining charge in the high voltage
battery. When the EVSE is connected
and charging is complete, the gauge
should indicate 100%. As the vehicle
is driven in the full electric mode, the
percentage will reduce until the engine
starts. At that point, the vehicle will
be powered by the engine mounted
generator.
Ready to Drive
The green vehicle lighting indicates the
vehicle is ready to drive. It is used while
in the Battery Electric mode startup
to indicate all necessary systems are
functioning and the vehicle is ready to
drive. The light will stay on as long as
the vehicle is active.
Note: Wait until the ready to drive light
illuminates before shifting from the
Park position. Engaging reverse or drive
before the ready to drive light comes on
may cause performance issues.
.
Note: If the ready to drive light fl ashes
and the vehicle is equipped with a
export power panel, the key has been
left on in the panel and must be turned
off and removed before the vehicle can
be driven.
Note: The Operator is not permitted to
transition directly from Drive mode into
Charge or Export-Power modes without
cycling the vehicle ignition key and
waiting approximately 45 seconds.

HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING
The heater/air conditioner controls
operate in the same manner as outlined
in the full owner's manual.
When the heat position is selected,
coolant is warmed by an inline heater to
provide cabin heat and defrost during
Battery Electric mode. In the Extended
Range Electric mode, engine generated
heat assists in warming.
The air conditioning compressor is
electrically driven and operates in the
same manner in both Battery Electric
and Extended Range Electric modes.
Compressor operation may be heard
during full electric operation as the
compressor cycles on and off . This is
normal.
