INFORMATION
Subject:

Implementation of Logistics Fuse - Additional Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) Steps and
Inventory Considerations

Models:

2012-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport (U.S. Fleet Only)

This bulletin has been revised to add the 2015 model year. Please discard Corporate
Bulletin Number 09-08-45-004C.

The Chevrolet Captiva is built and shipped with a
“Logistics Fuse” disconnected in the instrument panel
bussed electrical center (IPBEC). The purpose of this
fuse is to reduce loads on the vehicle battery during
vehicle transportation. While the key is off, battery drain
is significantly reduced and all functions are maintained
with the key on.

To Re-Seat the Logistics Fuse

Changes to PDI
Important: Prior to PDI, it is required that the
technician re-seat this Logistics Fuse to fully evaluate
vehicle operation. Failure to re-seat the Logistics Fuse
will result in inoperative Remote Keyless Entry and
Remote Start functions while the key is off. Additionally,
with the Logistics Fuse removed, the radio clock and
station pre-sets will be lost with each ignition cycle.
The PDI forms have been modified to reference this
bulletin. The Logistics Fuse is located in the IPBEC and
is labeled “Audio.” This fuse is retained in a holder that
simply requires a “thumb push” to re-seat the fuse.

Inventory Considerations
It is strongly recommended that this Logistics Fuse be
again removed while the vehicle is in inventory.
Cross-training will be required to assure all retailer
employees are aware of the procedures within your
facility. Disconnecting this Logistics Fuse will
significantly increase storage time with reduced battery
discharge.
Suggested Logistics Fuse use within the retailer:
1. Prior to placing the vehicle into inventory, pull the
Logistics Fuse.
2. Set the IPBEC Cover on the passenger seat to
communicate to the next vehicle user that the fuse
needs to be re-seated.
The following items will not be powered with the key off
and the Logistics Fuse removed:
• Instrument Panel Cluster
• Radio
• Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
• Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR)
• Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Fobs
• Garage Door Opener
• Red Security LED on Center Stack
All of the above items receive power with the key on
through an added diode.

Warranty Information
Re-Seating the Logistics Fuse is considered part of PDI
and should not be billed under warranty.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a
job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your
vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the
information.
