Exterior Lamp Controls
The exterior lamp control is on the
left side of the steering wheel.
There are four positions:
P: Briefly turn to this position to
turn the exterior lamps off and
deactivate the AUTO mode. Turn
again to reactivate the AUTO mode.
When released, the control returns
to the AUTO position.
In Canada, the headlamps will
automatically reactivate when the
vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). AUTO :
Automatically turns the
exterior lamps on and off,
depending on outside lighting.
AUTO also controls the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL). See
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
0 148.
;:Turns on the parking lamps
including all lamps, except the
headlamps.
5: Turns on the headlamps
together with the parking lamps and
instrument panel lights.
A warning chime sounds if the driver
door is opened when the ignition is
off and the headlamps or parking
lamps are on.
Headlamp High/
Low-Beam Changer
Push the turn signal lever away
from you and release to turn the
high beams on. To return to low
beams, push the lever again or pull
it toward you and release.

148 Lighting
This indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster when the
high-beam headlamps are on.
Flash-to-Pass
The flash-to-pass feature works with
the low beams or Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) on or off.
To flash the high beams, pull the
turn signal lever all the way toward
you, then release it.
Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.The dedicated DRL will come on
when all of the following conditions
are met:
.
The ignition is on.
. The exterior lamps control is in
AUTO, or has been briefly
turned to
Pto turn the
automatic light control on again.
. The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
. The transmission is not in
P (Park).
When the DRL are on, the
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, instrument panel lights, and
other lamps will not be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and the
DRL will come on. To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamps control to
Pand
then release. For vehicles first sold
in Canada, the DRL can only be
turned off when the vehicle is
parked.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside and
the headlamp switch is in AUTO,
the automatic headlamp system will
turn on the headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps
such as the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, license plate
lamps, and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also
be dim.
To turn off the automatic headlamp
system, turn the exterior lamps
switch to the
Pposition and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the transmission must be
in P (Park), before the automatic
headlamp system can be turned off.

152 Lighting
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalization0141.
Theater Dimming
This feature allows for a three to five
second fade out of the interior
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, 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 DIC message might
be displayed and it is recommended
that the driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible.
Battery Power Protection
This feature shuts off the interior
lamps if they are left on for more
than 10 minutes when the ignition is
off. This helps to prevent the battery
from running down.
Exterior Lighting Battery
Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about
10 minutes after the ignition is
turned off, if the parking lamps or
headlamps have been manually left
on. This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the 10-minute
timer, turn the exterior lamp control

Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, or any bulb changing
procedure not listed in this section,
contact your dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent
bulbs with aftermarket LED
replacement bulbs. This can
cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system.
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
(HID) 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.
LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED lamps.
For replacement of any LED lighting
assembly, contact your dealer.
Back-Up Lamps
For the base and the uplevel
taillamp assembly, only the back-up
bulb is replaceable. Removal of the
taillamp assembly is not necessary
to change this bulb.
To replace one of these bulbs: 1. Open the trunk. See Trunk
0 40.
2. Remove the three pushpin fasteners and cover.
3. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it.
