is opened. It will go out when you close the cover. If your
vehicle has the adjustable lighting feature, slide the
switch up or down to brighten or dim the light.

sunshade, it helps to reduce the amount of heat and
light entering the rear window.
The rear power sunshade is located in the rear shelf.

the ignition is on or while the retained accessory power
is active. See
Ignition Positions on page 2-23.

DIC Warnings and Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem
sensed in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that
are ®rst sold in Canada will have a number after
each message. This number helps to identify the
problem. You must then press INFO or INFO RESET to
clear the display screen for further use. However, be
sure to take any message that appears on the display
screen seriously and remember that pressing the
INFO or INFO RESET button will only make the
message disappear, not the problem.
DIC messages can also be displayed in French,
German, Spanish and Japanese. Contact your dealer to
have the language display adjusted for your vehicle.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING ± 7:This message
will appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE ± 27:This message is
displayed when the vehicle has detected that the battery
voltage is dropping beyond a reasonable point. The
battery saver system will start reducing certain features
of the vehicle that you may not be able to notice. At
the point that features are disabled, this message
is displayed. It means that the vehicle is trying to save
the charge in the battery. Turn off unnecessary
accessories to allow the battery to recharge.BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH ± 8:This message shows
that the electrical charging system is overcharging
(more than 16 volts). To avoid being stranded, have the
electrical system checked by your dealership. You
can reduce the charging overload by using the
accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set the
climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI, and
turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO button.
The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the
engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW ± 6:This message will
appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this
message appears immediately after starting, it is
possible that the generator can still recharge the battery.
The battery should recharge while driving but may
take a few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary
charger (be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions) to boost the battery after returning home or
to a ®nal destination. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to determine the cause of
this problem. To help the generator recharge the battery
quickly, you can reduce the load on the electrical
system by turning off the accessories. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
