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.
Driving and Operating
A utility interruption of charging may
increase AC vehicle charge times,
but will not affect DC 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 under Programmable
Charging 0 121.
A message will display on the
instrument cluster indicating that a
utility interruption has occurred. See
Instrument Cluster 0 103.
