5-50 Instruments and Controls
To select a setting, press the set/
reset button while the desired
setting is displayed on the DIC.
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)
System Operation (Key Access)
on
page 2‑5or Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation (Keyless
Access)
on page 2‑7for more
information.
You may temporarily disable the
keyless locking feature by pressing
the door unlock switch for
three seconds on an open door.
Keyless locking will then remain
disabled until a door lock switch is
pressed or until the power mode
transitions from the off power mode.
To select whether the horn sounds
or the lights flash when the vehicle
is locked, see “Remote Door Lock”
earlier in this section. Press the customization button until
Keyless Locking appears on the
DIC display. Press the set/reset
button once to access the settings
for this feature. Then press the
menu up/down button to scroll
through the following settings:
Off (default):
The keyless locking
feature will be disabled.
On: The keyless locking feature will
be enabled.
The doors will automatically lock
several seconds after you turn the
ignition off, remove a keyless
access transmitter from the interior
of the vehicle, and close all of the
doors.
No Change: No change will be
made to this feature. The current
setting will remain.
To select a setting, press the set/
reset button while the desired
setting is displayed on the DIC.

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.
