Exterior Lamp Controls
The exterior lamp control is on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
wheel.
There are four positions:
O: Briefly turn the control to this position
to turn the automatic headlamps and
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) off or
back on.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the off
position only works for vehicles that are
shifted into the P (Park) position.
AUTO : Automatically turns the exterior
lamps on and off, depending on outside
lighting.
;: 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.
If the headlamps are turned on while the
vehicle is on, the headlamps turn off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition
is turned off. If the headlamps are turned on
while the vehicle is off, the headlamps will
continue to stay on. To prevent the battery
from being drained, turn the control to the
Oposition.
A warning chime sounds if the driver door is
opened while the ignition switch is off and
the headlamps are on.
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high beam, pull the turn signal lever all the
way toward you. Then release it.
Exterior Lamps Off Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime sounds
when the headlamps or parking lamps are
manually turned on and the key is out of
the ignition. To turn off the chime, turn the
headlamp switch to
Oor AUTO and then
back on, or close and re-open the door. In

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
G:An arrow on the instrument cluster
flashes in the direction of the turn or lane
change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way
up or down.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to flash. The
turn signal automatically flashes three times
and if the Tow/Haul Mode is active it
flashes six times. Holding the turn signal
lever for more than one second causes the
turn signals to flash continually until the
lever is released. The lever returns to its starting position
when released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change the
arrow flashes rapidly or does not come on, a
signal bulb may be burned out.
Have any burned out bulbs replaced. If a
bulb is not burned out, check the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
0205.Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
1.2 km (0.75 mi), a chime sounds at each
flash of the turn signal and the message
TURN SIGNAL ON also appears in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). To turn off the
chime and message, move the turn signal
lever to the off position.

Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when any
door is opened, the remote unlock is
pressed, or when the ignition is switched
off. They will turn off after a delay, when all
doors are closed, or when the ignition is
switched on.
The instrument panel brightness knob
extends when
Dis pressed. To manually
turn on the dome lamps, press
Dthen
turn the knob clockwise to the farthest
position. In this position, the dome lamps
remain on whether a door is opened or
closed.
Dome Lamp Override
The dome lamp override sets the dome
lamps to remain off or come on
automatically when a door is opened, the
remote unlock is pressed, or when the
ignition is switched off.
EDOME OFF : Press this button in and the
dome lamps remain off when a door is
opened, the remote unlock is pressed, or the
ignition is switched off. Press the button
again to return it to the extended position
so that the dome lamps come on when a
door is opened, the remote unlock is
pressed, or when the ignition is
switched off.
Reading Lamps
If equipped with reading lamps, press the
button next to each lamp to turn it on
or off.
To operate, the ignition must be on, in ACC/
ACCESSORY, or using Retained Accessory
Power (RAP).
The vehicle may also have reading lamps in
other locations. The lamps cannot be
adjusted.
Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
Some exterior lamps turn on briefly at
night, or in areas with limited lighting,
when
Kis pressed on the RKE transmitter.
After about 30 seconds the exterior lamps
turn off. Entry lighting can be disabled
manually by turning the ignition on or to
ACC/ACCESSORY, or by pressing
Qon the
RKE transmitter. When any door is opened
or the remote unlock is pressed, all interior
lights turn on and then interior lamps dim
to off within 20 seconds after all doors are
closed.
The entry lighting feature for exterior
lighting can be changed. See “Vehicle
Locator Lights” underVehicle Personalization
0 86.
Exit Lighting
Some exterior lamps come on at night, or in
areas with limited lighting, when the driver
door is opened after the ignition is
turned off.
The dome lamp comes on after the ignition
is turned off or any door is opened.

Lighting 95
The exterior lamps and dome lamp remain
on after the door is closed for a set amount
of time, then automatically turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off immediately by
turning the exterior lamp control off. The
exit lighting for exterior lights can be
changed. SeeVehicle Personalization 086.
Battery Load Management
The vehicle may have 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
SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. If this
messages displays, 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 to the
Oposition
and then back to the
;or2position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in
ACC/ACCESSORY.
