I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. I have always thought it was weird that I could not see the climate information unless I changed something and that little pop-up appeared.

Although I noticed on some reviews and models that some have a dedicated climate button in the infotainment.

 

Is this a fault? I'm not sure why having a climate button in the infotainment would be locked to certain packages and can't find any documentation around it.

I just glance at the buttons to see what's set..... there is also climate app or whatever it's called. Just like how the audio and phone thing is on the infotainment. 

Yeah that's the button or "app" that I'm referring to. My truck does not have that in the infotainment.

 

What trim level is your truck? Any packages?

I'm not really sure what you're talking about but mine is the same trim as your's.  LT Z71.  Not certain of the other packages but I have the app and this is a picture I found on the web as I'm not in my truck this week.

 

I don't see why this would be linked to certain vehicle trims.  You can find it by looking for the person in a seat on the infotainment.20190417_173130.thumb.jpg.76beb74578b4fa9ebb9ba1a04a8c85f9.jpg.8903bc0eaad3eb563e0e4da38aaa34d1.jpg

 

Other than that, you can easily look at the climate controls on the dash in between the temp control.  Thats where I always look. I never really use the touch screen for the climate.

That's what I'm talking about. My truck does not have that button in the infotainment. It's just missing.

Is yours 2019 or 2020?

Any packages?

Does you screen have 2 or 3 little dots at the bottom - centre?

If it does, try swiping the screen left/right to show the other page(s).

I believe if you want that feature you need to have the IOS and up Radio to get that feature...If you have Conv package 2 you'll have it I believe..Kind of a useless feature if you ask me...

Per the manual, only dual automatic climate control equipped vehicles have the climate control status display on the infotainment screen. Standard climate control equipped vehicles do not.

Yeah. I do have dual, automatic climate. But no climate control button in the infotainment. That's why it seems weird, because when it's in auto, I have no idea what it's doing. Seems like a weird bug...I guess I'll have to take it to the dealer and figure it out.

My thoughts exactly. You can look at the HVAC controls and see everything that is on that screen.

 

I wish you could rearrange the lower "fixed" icons.

Sorry for taking so long but I looked at the sticker for my 2019 LT Z71.  It has these packages; All Star Edition, Convenience II, Z71 and protection, trailer brake and 5.3 (since that was optioned).

 

As it was mentioned, this feature is kinda pointless when it shows you the exact same thing the HVAC controls show.  It doesn't even have the heated or A/C seats on there.  I've only looked at it and played around with it a couple of times.

 

If you really want it and think you're truck should have it, then take it to the dealer and they should be able to reprogram it for you.  If you're truck is supposed to have it, then they will do it for free.

Do you have HD radio? There's a few trims that don't have that, or the climate control. I'm not sure which level they are, but it sounds like you don't have that level of radio.

If you hold down any icon, a pop up comes on and you can swipe the apps up to delete. I wouldn’t think it would let you delete that icon, but maybe somehow it got deleted. If that’s the case, you could try doing a radio reset in the settings app and see if it comes back

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
