To idle the vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn offautomatic lighting and shift the transmission into P (Park).Placing the vehicle in P (Park) disables the DRL. TheDRL will stay off until the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park).
To drive the vehicle with the DRL off, turn off automaticlighting and manually turn on the parking lamps orfog lamps, if the vehicle has them.
The regular headlamp system should be turned onwhen needed.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamps button is on the exterior lamps control tothe left of the steering column.
#(Fog Lamps):Press the exterior lamps button to
turn the fog lamps on or off. A light comes on inthe instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps are inuse. SeeInstrument Panel Cluster on page 4-47.The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for thefog lamps to work.
The fog lamps will go off when the headlamps arechanged to high-beam.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps tobe on along with the fog lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps orparking lamps are on and you signal a turn with themultifunction lever. They provide more light forcornering.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the exterior lamp button has been left on, the exteriorlamps will turn off about 10 minutes after the ignitionis turned to LOCK/OFF and a door has been opened.This protects against draining the battery if theheadlamps or parking lamps are accidentally left on.If you need to leave the lamps on for more than10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn thelamps back on after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFFand any door is opened.
4-30

Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead consoleon the headliner and in the rear door opening. Theselamps come on automatically when any door is openedand it is dark outside.
For manual operation, press the button to turn them on.Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shutoff 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Footwell Lamps
For vehicles with footwell lamps, they are located underthe instrument panel and at the rear of the frontseats. These lamps provide soft light to the front andrear floor areas. They dim with the instrument panelcluster lights.
Footwell lighting brightness can be adjusted with theinstrument panel brightness control located belowthe exterior lamps control. SeeInstrument PanelBrightness on page 4-31. The footwell lights will turn offbefore the instrument panel lights are at their lowestlevel of brightness.
Battery Load Management
This feature monitors the vehicle’s electrical load anddetermines when the battery is in a heavy dischargecondition. During times of high electrical loading,the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute(rpm) setting than normal to make sure the batterycharges. High electrical loads may occur when severalof the following are on: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan athigh speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans.
If the battery continues to discharge, even withthe engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electricalloads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,the rear window defogger may take slightly longerto clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warmas they usually do and the climate control fan may cutback to a lower speed. For more battery savinginformation, see “Battery Saver Active Message” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67.
4-32

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) thatestimates the battery’s temperature and state ofcharge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performanceand extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage israised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up.When the state of charge is high, the voltage is loweredslightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has avoltmeter gage or a voltage display on the DriverInformation Center (DIC), you may see the voltage moveup or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, analert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electricalloads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This isbecause the generator (alternator) may not bespinning fast enough at idle to produce all the powerthat is needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of thefollowing are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan athigh speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailerloads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of thebattery. It does this by balancing the generator’s outputand the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase
engine idle speed to generate more power, wheneverneeded. It can temporarily reduce the power demands ofsome accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, withoutbeing noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levelsof corrective action, this action may be noticeable to thedriver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC)message might be displayed, such as BATTERYSAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, orLOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it isrecommended that the driver reduce the electrical loadsas much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings and Messageson page 4-67.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s batteryagainst drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When theignition is turned off, the power to these features willautomatically turn off after 10 minutes. Power willbe restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door ortrunk is opened, or the courtesy lamp switch isturned on.
4-33

Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature helps prevent the battery from beingdrained, if the interior courtesy lamps, reading/maplamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk lamp are accidentallyleft on. If any of these lamps are left on, theyautomatically turn off after 10 minutes, if the ignition isoff. The lamps will not come back on again untilone 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 aremanually turned on with the ignition on or off.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to plug inelectrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone.
If the vehicle has a center console, the power outlet islocated inside the lower storage area. Some vehiclesmay have an outlet on the right front lower part ofthe driver’s seat and under the climate control systemnext to the ashtray. SeeCenter Console Storageon page 3-55.
There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seatarea located on the door armrests next to theashtrays.
There may be a small cap that must be removed toaccess the accessory power outlet. When not using theoutlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap.
The accessory power outlet can be used at any time.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment plugged in foran extended period of time while the vehicle is offwill drain the battery. Power is always suppliedto the outlets. Always unplug electrical equipmentwhen not in use and do not plug in equipmentthat exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatibleto the accessory power outlet and could result inblown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience aproblem see your dealer/retailer for additionalinformation on the accessory power outlets.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to thevehicle can damage it or keep other componentsfrom working as they should. The repairs would notbe covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not useequipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer beforeadding electrical equipment.

Emissions Inspection and Maintenance
Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have ormight begin programs to inspect the emission controlequipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this inspectioncould prevent getting a vehicle registration.
Here are some things to know to help the vehicle passan inspection:
•The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check
engine light is on with the engine running, or if thekey is in ON/RUN and the light is not on.
•The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
OBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determinesthat critical emission control systems have not beencompletely diagnosed by the system. The vehiclewould be considered not ready for inspection.This can happen if the battery has recently beenreplaced or if the battery has run down. Thediagnostic system is designed to evaluate criticalemission control systems during normal driving.This can take several days of routine driving. If thishas been done and the vehicle still does notpass the inspection for lack of OBD II systemreadiness, your dealer/retailer can preparethe vehicle for inspection.
Oil Pressure Light
{WARNING:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is low. The
engine can become so hot that it catches fire.
Someone could be burned. Check the oil as soon
as possible and have the vehicle serviced.
Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance candamage the engine. The repairs would not becovered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow themaintenance schedule in this manual for changingengine oil.
This light comes on briefly while starting the engine.If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by yourdealer/retailer. If the system is working normally theindicator light then goes off.
