Charging Status Feedback (PLUG-IN Only)

The vehicle has a Charging Status

Indicator (CSI) at the center of the

instrument panel near the windshield.

When the vehicle is plugged in and the vehicle power is off, the CSI

indicates the following:

. Short Flashing Green – Vehicle is plugged in. Battery is not fully

charged. Flash rate increases from one to four flashes as battery

charges.

. Long Flashing Green – Vehicle is plugged in. Battery is not fully

charged. Battery charging is delayed.

. Solid Green – Vehicle is plugged in. Battery is fully charged.

. Solid Yellow – Vehicle is plugged

in. It is normal for the CSI to turn yellow for a few seconds after

plugging in a compatible charge cord. The solid yellow may be

extended depending on the vehicle and if there is a total utility

interruption via OnStar. See Utility Interruption of Charging (PLUG-IN

Only) 0 293. This may also indicate

that the charging system has detected a fault and will not

charge the battery. See “Charge

Cord Status Indicators” in Charge Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0 287.

If the vehicle is plugged in and vehicle power is on, the CSI will flash or will

be solid green, depending on the

charge level. This also happens during a remote start if the vehicle is

plugged in.

If the vehicle is plugged in and the CSI is off, a total utility interruption

using OnStar or a charging fault has been detected. See Utility Interruption of Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0 293 or “Charge Cord Status Indicators” in

Charge Cord (PLUG-IN Only) 0 287.

A message displays if the vehicle is not able to charge.

Following is the vehicle feedback

when the charge cord is plugged in.
