Passenger Sensing System

The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the front outboard passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator will light on the overhead console when the vehicle is started.

The words ON and OFF, and the symbols for on and off, will be visible during the system check. When the system check is complete, either the word ON or OFF, and the symbol for on or off, will be visible. See Passenger
Airbag Status Indicator 0 92.
The passenger sensing system turns off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag under certain conditions. No other airbag is affected by the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front outboard passenger seat and seat belt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag should be allowed to inflate or not.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat in the correct child restraint for their weight and size. Whenever possible, children aged 12 and under should be secured in a rear seating position. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag inflates.

Warning
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the passenger frontal airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a
forward-facing child restraint can be serious injuries or killed if the passenger frontal airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger airbag(s), no system is fail-safe. No one can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under some unusual circumstance, even though the airbag(s) are off.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat, even if the airbag is off. If securing a forward-facing child restraint in the front outboard passenger seat, always move the seat as far back as it will go. It is better to secure child restraints in the rear seat. Consider using another vehicle to transport the child when a rear seat is not available.

The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag if:

• The front outboard passenger seat is unoccupied.
• The system determines an infant is present in a child restraint.
• A front outboard passenger takes his/her weight off of the seat for a period of time.

When the passenger sensing system has turned off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, the OFF indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder that the airbags are off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator 0 92. The passenger sensing system is designed to turn on the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the front outboard passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbags to be enabled, the ON indicator will light and stay lit as a reminder that the airbags are active.

For some children, including children in child restraints, and for very small adults, the passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, depending upon the person’s seating posture and body build. Everyone in the vehicle who has outgrown child restraints should wear a seat belt properly — whether or not there is an airbag for that person.

Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the airbag system. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light 0 92 for more information, including important safety information.

If the On Indicator Is Lit for a Child Restraint
The passenger sensing system is designed to turn off the front outboard passenger frontal airbag and knee airbag, if the system
determines that an infant is present in a child restraint. If a child restraint has been installed and the ON indicator is lit:

1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle.
3. Remove any additional items from the seat such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers.
4. Reinstall the child restraint following the directions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and refer to Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in a Rear Outside Seat Position) 0 71 or
   Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Front Seat) 0 73 or Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat Belt in the Center Rear Seat) 0 72. Make sure the seat belt retractor is locked by pulling the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor when installing the child restraint, even if the child restraint is equipped with a seat belt lock off. When the retractor lock is set, the belt can be tightened but not pulled out of the retractor.
5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the ON indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cushion, if adjustable, to make sure that the vehicle seatback is not pushing the child restraint into the seat cushion.
   Also make sure the child restraint is not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this happens, adjust the head restraint. See Head Restraints 0 32.
6. Restart the vehicle.

The passenger sensing system may or may not turn off the airbags for a child in a child restraint depending upon the child’s size.
It is better to secure the child restraint in a rear seat. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the front seat, even if the ON indicator is not lit.

Charging
Important Information about Electric Vehicle Charging

• Charging an electric vehicle and increased charging rates can stress a building’s electrical system more than a typical household appliance.
• Before plugging the charge cord into an electrical outlet for the first time, have a qualified electrician inspect and verify the electrical system (electrical outlet, wiring, junctions, and protection devices) for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp continuous load.
• Check electrical outlets often, as they may wear out with normal use or become damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle charging.
• Check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. If the electrical outlet/plug appears hot, discontinue using it immediately and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
• When charging outdoors, use an electrical outlet that is weatherproof.
• Mount the charging cord to reduce strain
  on the electrical outlet/plug.
• Do not place the charge cord in a position where there is risk of it being submerged in water.

Danger
Improper use of portable electric vehicle charge cords may cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and may result in damage to property, serious injury, or death.

• Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet power strips, splitters, grounding adapters, surge protectors, or similar devices.
• Do not use an electrical outlet that is worn or damaged, or will not hold the plug firmly in place.
• Do not use an electrical outlet that is not properly grounded.
• Do not use an electrical outlet that is on a circuit with other electrical loads.

Charging App
The Charging app provides access to features which help you to review and manage charging preferences.
To launch the Charging app from the infotainment home screen, touch the Charging icon. There are four selections to choose from: Next Charge, Charge Assist, Schedule, and Settings. When you launch Charging for the first time, the Next Charge screen will display.

Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode for your vehicle. The vehicle begins charging immediately when it is plugged in and authenticated at the charging location.
With Charge Now selected, the Charging screen displays:

• Text indicating that the vehicle will charge immediately when plugged in.
• The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired charge level.
• Target Charge Level Gauge:
  The percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.

Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s battery above an 80% charge if you are going to drive down long, steep grades such as mountain passes. This provides room in the battery for regenerative braking to supplement your conventional brakes during the descent. This is especially important when towing a trailer, which puts additional stress on your vehicle’s braking system.
See Hill and Mountain Roads 0 163 for important information about driving on grades.

Charge Later
Instead of charging immediately to a desired charge level, you may choose to delay the charge to the vehicle and have it completed by your desired departure time. This may be a more economical choice and a more efficient use of energy when charging at home. To use this mode, touch Charge Later on the Next Charge screen.
With Charge Later selected, the Charging screen displays:

• Text indicating that your vehicle will delay charging to be ready by the time specified.
• The ability to set the desired time at which the vehicle will finish charging and be ready for departure.
• Target Charge Level Gauge: Ability to set the percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.
• Preconditioning: Ability to heat or cool the cabin to your desired temperature using energy from the charger. Energy from the battery is not used to condition the cabin, ensuring the vehicle gets the maximum range from the charging session. Preconditioning happens at the end of the charge, and right before the departure time.

To set the time at which the vehicle will complete the charge and be ready for departure:
Drag each value up or down within the time selector until the preferred time is selected.
If the desired charge level cannot be reached by the selected time, a message will display that one of the two preferences must be adjusted.
To adjust desired charge level in Charge
Later mode, see “Charge Now” earlier in this section.

Setting the Preconditioning preference:
Touch the switch to turn on Preconditioning.
The Preconditioning temperature can be adjusted by touching Preconditioning on this screen, or in Settings.

Active Charging
During an active charging session, the Charging screen displays and continuously updates the following items:

• The current charging status.
• The range the vehicle is capable of driving at the current charge level.
• Range accumulation per hour of charging.
• The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired charge level.
• Target Charge Level Gauge: The current charge level value represented as a percentage and a coloured section of the circular gauge.

To update the desired charge level for the active charging session, drag the marker on the Target Charge Level Gauge.
Touching the Stop Charge button at any time ends the active charging session. For information on beginning a charging session, see Plug-In Charging 0 237. For Level 1 chargers, you can also select the appropriate charge cord limit for your location. This determines how much current will flow from an electrical outlet to the vehicle battery. It also ensures proper charge time estimates.
When the charge cord limit is changed to the highest setting on a 120-volt circuit a notification is displayed.
If no Home Charge Location is set, the Level 1 cord limit will revert to the lowest setting every time the vehicle is shifted out of (P) Park.
Range and charge time estimates fluctuate depending on several factors such as charge cord level/limit, battery temperature, and outside temperature. To learn more about the vehicle battery see Plug-In Charging 0 237.

The peek-in charging screen can be used to monitor your vehicle’s charge status when the vehicle is off, see Instrument Cluster 0 87. If equipped, to monitor the charging status remotely, download the myChevrolet app on your mobile device.
