;:Turns on the parking lamps
including all lamps, except the
headlamps.
2: Turns on the headlamps together
with the parking lamps and
instrument panel lights.
IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on and
off according to surrounding traffic
conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough
and there is no other traffic present.
This light
bcomes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled. Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
press the button on the end of the
turn signal lever when the exterior
lamp control is in the AUTO or
2
position.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top center
of the windshield that automatically
controls the system. Keep this area of
the windshield clear of debris to allow
for best system performance.The high-beam headlamps remain on,
under the automatic control, until one
of the following situations occurs:
.
The system detects an
approaching vehicle's headlamps.
. The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
. The outside light is bright enough
that high-beam headlamps are not
required.
. The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
. The IntelliBeam system is disabled
by the button on the turn signal
lever. If this happens, press the
button on the end of the turn
signal lever when the exterior
lamp control is in the AUTO or
2
position to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The
instrument cluster light will come
on to indicate the IntelliBeam is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:

.The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
. The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or
road spray.
. The other vehicle's lamps cannot
be detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
. The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view of
the light sensor.
. The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and
not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
. The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.Exterior Lamps Off

push the lever again or pull it toward
you and release.
This indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster when the
high-beam headlamps are on.
Flash-to-Pass
To flash the high beams, pull the turn
signal lever toward you, and release.
Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to
see the front of your vehicle during
the day. Fully functional DRL are
required on all vehicles first sold in
Canada.
If equipped, the DRL will come on
when all of the following conditions
are met:
. The ignition is on.
. The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
. The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
. The parking brake is released or
the vehicle is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, and other lamps
will not be on.
The DRL turn off when the headlamps
are turned to
Oor the ignition is off.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the
DRL can only be turned off when the
vehicle is parked.

Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
Move the lever all the way up or down
to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash to signal a lane
change. Hold it there until the lane
change is completed. If the lever is
briefly pressed and released, the turn
signal flashes three times.The turn and lane-change signal can
be turned off manually by moving the
lever back to its original position.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change, the arrow flashes rapidly or
does not come on, a signal function
may be inoperative. This vehicle is
equipped with LED lighting. For
replacement of any LED lighting
contact your dealer.
Cornering Lamps
If equipped with cornering lamps, they
automatically come on when all of the
following occur:
.
The low-beam headlamps are on.
. The turn signals are activated or
the steering wheel is at a turning
angle.
. The vehicle speed is below 40 Km/
h or (25 mph).

156 LIGHTING
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, rearwindow 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
The battery saver feature is designed
to protect the vehicle's battery.
If some interior lamps are left on and
the ignition is turned off, the battery
rundown protection system
automatically turns the lamp off after
some time.
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 to the off
position and then back to the parking
lamp or headlamp position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be on or
in ACC/ACCESSORY.

250 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate
properly, cleaning the outside of the
windshield in front of the rearview
mirror may correct the issue.
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can help the
driver see and alert the driver to
pedestrians or large animals ahead of
the vehicle beyond the area lit by the
headlamps. A thermal heat image of
the view ahead is displayed when it is
dark enough outside. If a pedestrian
or large animal is detected more than
25 m (82 ft) away, an amber
pedestrian or animal icon displays and
a box appears around the pedestrian
or animal. When the system detects
that the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead much too quickly,
the box changes to red.
With the Front Pedestrian Braking
system turned on, Night Vision
provides a red Head-Up Display (HUD)
alert when the system detects that the
vehicle is approaching a pedestrian
ahead much too quickly. In addition,
an alert beeps or the Safety Alert Seat
pulses, if equipped. SeeFront
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System 0247.
{Warning
The system does not detect all
objects or the vehicle distance from
objects. The system may not
provide a warning with enough time
to help avoid a crash.
1. Low-Beam Headlamps
2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the instrument
cluster, the Night Vision image
can be displayed. See Instrument
Cluster (Base Level) 0110 or
Instrument Cluster (Uplevel) 0113. The
Night Vision system can operate
only if:
. The ignition is on.
. The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
. It is dark enough outside.
