windshield washer uid system, it
can be used to help clear ice, snow,
tree sap, or bugs from the
windshield. This feature only works
with the front wiper system.
The button is located to the left
of the steering column below
the instrument panel brightness
control knob.
Press the heated washer uid
button to activate the heated
windshield washer uid system. This
activation begins four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heatedwash/wipe cycle can take up to
40 seconds to occur, depending on

rst wash/wipe cycle, it can take up
to 20 seconds for each of the
remaining cycles. The system turns
off automatically after four wipe
cycles or the button can be pressed
again to turn it off.
Under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam might ow
out of the washer nozzles for a
short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is normal.

Parade Dimming
Parade mode automatically prohibits
the dimming of the instrument panel
displays during the daylight while the
headlamps are on so that the
displays are still able to be seen.
Reading Lamps
The vehicle has reading lamps that
also act as the dome lamp. Press
the button to turn them on and off.
Electric Power
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that estimates
the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge
is low, the voltage is raised
slightly to quickly bring the charge
back up. When the state of charge is
high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If
the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or
a voltage display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), you may
see the voltage move up or
down. This is normal. If there is a
problem, an alert will be displayed.
3-16 Instrument Panel

The battery can be discharged at
idle if the electrical loads are
very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the
generator (alternator) may not be
spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed
for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger,
climate control fan at high speed,
heated seats, engine cooling fans,
trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical
needs. It can increase engine
idle speed to generate more power,
whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of
some accessories.Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,
this action may be noticeable
to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message
might be displayed, such as
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE,
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW
BATTERY. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that
the driver reduce the electrical loads
as much as possible. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on
page 3-48.Battery Run-Down
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained, if the
interior courtesy lamps, reading/map
lamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk
lamp are accidentally left on. If
any of these lamps are left on,
they automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The
lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is turned on.
The exterior lamps control is
turned off, then on again.
The headlamps will timeout after
10 minutes, if they are manually
turned on before the ignition is off.

and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to
the oor outlets, with some of the
air directed to the windshield,
side window, and second row oor
outlets. In this mode, the system
uses outside air.
-(Defog):This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air
is directed to the windshield, oor
outlets, and side window vents.
When this mode is selected,

This mode recirculates and helps to
quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with oor, defog, or defrosting
modes. If recirculation is selected
in these modes, the indicator ashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comeson when this mode is activated.
While in recirculation mode
the windows can fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear

indicator ashes three times
and turns off to show that the
A/C mode is not available. If the
A/C is on and the outside
temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the
A/C indicator turns off to show that
the A/C mode has been canceled.On hot days, open the windows
briey to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it
takes for the interior of the vehicle
to cool down.
The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air, so a small
amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off
the engine. This is normal.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):

defrost grille in the middle of
the instrument panel, monitors the
solar heat. Do not cover the
solar sensor or the system will not
work properly.The interior temperature sensor
located on the instrument panel to
the right of the steering column,
measures the temperature of the air
inside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature
sensor located behind the front grille.
This sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps maintain the
temperature inside the vehicle. Any
cover on the front of the vehicle
could cause a false reading in the
displayed temperature.
