Content Theft-Deterrent
The security light
is located on the
instrument panel cluster. To arm the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock switch with the door open or the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. The security light will flash.
3. Close all the doors. The security light will come on and stay on for approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a RKE
transmitter the horn will sound and the lamps will flash
for about 30 seconds.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock the
doors with a key or use the manual door lock. It arms
only if you use a power door lock with the door open or
the RKE transmitter.
To avoid arming the alarm by accident:
.Lock the vehicle with the door key or the manual
door lock.
.Always unlock a door with a key or use the RKE
transmitter system. Pressing the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter, or unlocking a door with the
key disarms the content theft-deterrent system.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk is opened.

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 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.
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. See
DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑65.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature protects the vehicle battery against
drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove box
lamp, or the garage door opener. When the ignition is
turned off, the power to these features automatically
turns off after 10 minutes. Power is restored for an
additional 10 minutes if any door or trunk is opened,
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
