Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
When it is dark enough outside or in
areas of limited lighting, the interior
lamps, headlamps, back-up lamps,
and parking lamps come on when
Kis pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
The lamps inside the vehicle come
on when any door is opened. They
stay on for about 20 seconds. When
all of the doors have been closed or
the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
they gradually fade out.
This feature can be changed. See
“Vehicle Locator Lights” under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-43.
Exit Lighting
The headlamps, taillamps, parking
lamps, back-up lamps, outside
mirror lamps, and license plate
lamps come on at night, or in areas
with limited lighting, when the key is removed from the ignition. The
dome lamp comes on after the
ignition is changed to the OFF
position. The exterior lamps and
dome lamp remain on for a set
amount of time, then automatically
turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-43.
Theater Dimming
This feature allows for a three to five
second fade out of the courtesy
lamps instead of having them turn
off immediately.
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.
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 of the
power 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,

9-52 Driving and Operating
When the System Does Not
Seem to Work Properly
The RVC system may not work
properly or display a clear image if:
.It is dark.
.The sun or the beam of
headlamps are shining directly
into the camera lens.
.Ice, snow, mud, or anything else
builds up on the camera lens.
Clean the lens, rinse it with
water, and wipe it with a soft
cloth.
.The back of the vehicle is in an
accident. The position and
mounting angle of the camera
can change or the camera can
be affected. Be sure to have the
camera and its position and
mounting angle checked at your
dealer.
Fuel
Use of the recommended fuel is an
important part of the proper
maintenance of this vehicle. When
driving in the U.S. and Canada, to
help keep the engine clean and
maintain optimum vehicle
performance, we recommend TOP
TIER Detergent Gasolines. See
www.toptiergas.com for a list of TOP
TIER Detergent Gasolines.
If the vehicle has a V6 engine, use
regular unleaded gasoline meeting
ASTM specification D4814 with a
posted octane rating of 87 or higher.
Do not use gasoline with an octane
rating below 87, as it may cause
engine damage and will lower fuel
economy.
If the vehicle has an L99 or LS3
V8 engine, use premium unleaded
gasoline meeting ASTM
specification D4814 with a posted
octane rating of 91 or higher.
Regular unleaded gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher can be used,
but acceleration and fuel economy
will be reduced, and an audible
knocking noise may be heard. If this
occurs, use a gasoline rated at
91 octane or higher as soon as
possible. Otherwise, the engine
could be damaged. If heavy
knocking is heard when using
gasoline with a 91 octane rating or
higher, the engine needs service.

Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, seeReplacement Bulbs on
page 10-48.
For any bulb‐changing procedure
not listed in this section, contact
your dealer.
Halogen Bulbs
{Warning
Halogen bulbs have pressurized
gas inside and can burst if you
drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure
to read and follow the instructions
on the bulb package.
High Intensity Discharge
(HID) Lighting
{Warning
The high intensity discharge
lighting system operates at a very
high voltage. If you try to service
any of the system components,
you could be seriously injured.
Have your dealer or a qualified
technician service them.
After an HID headlamp bulb has
been replaced, the beam might be a
slightly different shade than it was
originally. This is normal.
Headlamps, Front Turn
Signal and Parking
Lamps (Uplevel Vehicle)
The uplevel model vehicle has an
HID headlamp and a turn signal
lamp on the headlamp assembly.
The parking lamp is also the function of the HID headlamp. See
High Intensity Discharge (HID)
Lighting on page 10-45.
To replace the turn signal bulb:
1. Open the hood. See
Hood on
page 10-5.
2. Press in on the tabs on the sides of the duct, and then push the
duct rearward into the air
cleaner/filter housing.

4. Install the new bulb.
5. Push the bulb straight into thesocket and turn clockwise to
reinstall.
6. Reinstall the license plate lamp by lifting it through the fascia
opening until the clip is in place.

Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and closes, protecting the circuit
until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed. This
greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by
electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect
power devices in the vehicle.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and
a fuse needs to be replaced, the
same amperage fuse can be
borrowed. Choose some feature of
the vehicle that is not needed to use
and replace it as soon as possible.
