Keyless Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the ignition is
turned off and all doors become
closed, the vehicle will determine
how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle
interior. If at least one keyless
access transmitter has been
removed from the interior of the
vehicle, the doors will lock after
several seconds.
For example, if there are two
keyless access transmitters in the
vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless
access transmitter locked in the
vehicle can still be used to start the
vehicle or unlock the doors,
if needed. A person approaching the
outside of the locked vehicle withoutan authorized keyless access
transmitter, however, will not be able
to open the door, even with a
transmitter in the vehicle. See the
Keyless Access information for
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

(RKE) System Operation (Keyless
Access)

You may temporarily disable the
keyless locking feature by pressing

pressed or until the power mode
transitions from the off power mode.

of the vehicle, and close all of the
doors.
No Change: No change will be
made to this feature. The current
setting will remain.

6-6 Lighting
Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
The headlamps, taillamps, license
plate lamps, reverse lamps, dome
lamps, and most of the interior lights
turn on briefly, when the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE)
Kis pressed,
or when the door handle is pulled on
a Keyless Access Vehicle. See
Ignition Positions (Key Access)
on
page 9‑16or Ignition Positions
(Keyless Access)on page 9‑18.
After about 30 seconds the exterior
lamps turn off, and then the dome
and remaining interior lights will dim
to off. Entry lighting can be disabled
manually by changing the ignition
out of the OFF position, or by
pressing the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE)
Qbutton. This feature can be activated or
deactivated in the Settings menu in
the Info Display. Press the
customization button to call up the
menu. See
Vehicle Personalization
on page 5‑45.
Parade Dimming
This feature does not let the
instrument panel backlight dim
during daylight hours while the key
is in the ignition and the headlamps
are on. Parade dimming
automatically works with the light
sensor, located on top of the
dashboard. If it is dark enough
outside and the parking lamps are
on, the backlight on the instrument
panel can be adjusted by turning the
instrument panel brightness knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the lighting. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 6‑5.
Battery Load
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 gauge 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.

pedal and turn the ignition control
knob to the START position. If the
ignition control knob does not turn,
try pushing the knob in and turning
again. When the engine begins
cranking, let go of the ignition
control knob, it will return to the ON/
RUN position.
If the transmitter is not in the vehicle
or something is interfering with the
transmitter, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display
ELECTRONIC KEY NOT
DETECTED. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC)
on page 5‑27for
more information.
If the battery in the keyless access
transmitter needs replacing, the DIC
displays REPLACE BATTERY IN
REMOTE KEY. The vehicle can
still be driven. See “Battery
Replacement” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation (Key Access)
on
page 2‑5or Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation (Keyless
Access)
on page 2‑7for more
information. Notice:
Do not try to shift to
P (Park) if the vehicle is moving.
If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to P (Park)
only when the vehicle is stopped.
Manual Transmission
The shift lever should be in neutral
position and the parking brake
engaged. Hold the clutch pedal
down to the floor and start the
engine. The vehicle will not start if
the clutch pedal is not all the
way down.
Starting Procedure
1. With your foot off the accelerator
pedal, turn the ignition key to
START. If the vehicle has the
keyless access system, push the
ignition control knob in and
rotate the knob to the START
position. When the engine starts,
let go of the ignition. The idle
speed will go down as your
engine gets warm. Do not race
the engine immediately after
starting it. Operate the engine and transmission gently to allow
the oil to warm up and lubricate
all moving parts.
The vehicle has a
Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in
starting the engine and protects
components. If the ignition key is
turned to the START position,
and then released when the
engine begins cranking, the
engine will continue cranking for
a few seconds or until the
vehicle starts. If the engine does
not start and the key is held in
START for many seconds,
cranking will be stopped after
15 seconds to prevent cranking
motor damage. To prevent gear
damage, this system also
prevents cranking if the engine
is already running. Engine
cranking can be stopped by
turning the ignition switch to
ACC/ACCESSORY or
LOCK/OFF.
