Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Shift to Park and review the selected charge mode and target in the Charging app.
- 02
Plug the portable cord directly into a suitable outlet without an extension cord, then open the charge port behind the driver-side front wheel opening and insert the vehicle connector fully.
- 03
Confirm a flashing green light and one tone for active charging; slow blue with two tones indicates a delayed session and solid green indicates completion.
- 04
If the light flashes red, unplug safely, inspect the cord and outlet and follow the vehicle message before trying again.
Important limits
- Do not use an extension cord or a visibly damaged outlet or charging cable.
- When the capacity of a 120-volt circuit is unknown, Chevrolet directs the driver to use the lower 8-amp setting until an electrician verifies the circuit.
Quick checks.
- ✓To override one delayed event, disconnect and reconnect the vehicle connector within five seconds as described by Chevrolet.
- ✓For a flashing red indication, check both connector ends, the outlet and any message in the driver display; stop using damaged equipment.
