To maintain correct operation of the
battery management system, if you add
any electrical devices to your vehicle, do
not connect the ground connection directly
to the negative battery terminal. A
connection at the negative battery terminal
can cause inaccurate measurements of
the battery condition and potential
incorrect system operation.
Note:
If you add electrical accessories or
components to your vehicle this may
adversely affect battery performance,
durability and the performance of other
electrical systems on your vehicle.
If you replace the battery make sure it
matches the electrical requirements of
your vehicle.
If you disconnect or replace the battery
and your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, it must relearn its adaptive
strategy. Because of this, the transmission
may shift firmly when first driven. This is
normal operation while the transmission
fully updates its operation to optimum
shift feel.
Remove and Reinstall the Battery
To disconnect or remove the battery, do
the following:
1. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
2. Switch all electrical equipment off, for
example lights and radio.
3. Wait a minimum of two minutes before
disconnecting the battery.
Note: The engine management system has
a power hold function and remains powered
for a period of time after you switch the
ignition off. This is to allow diagnostic and
adaptive tables to be stored. Disconnecting
the battery without waiting can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty. 4. Disconnect the negative battery cable
terminal.
5. Disconnect the positive battery cable terminal.
6. Remove the battery securing clamp.
7. Remove the battery.
8. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Note: Before reconnecting the battery,
make sure the ignition remains switched off.
Note: Make sure the battery cable terminals
are fully tightened.
Note: After cleaning or replacing the
battery, make sure you reinstall the battery
cover or shield.
If you disconnect or replace the vehicle
battery, you must reset the following
features:
• Window bounce-back. See Window
Bounce-Back (page 126).
• Clock Settings.
• Pre-set radio stations.
• Steering Angle Sensor.
Note: To calibrate the steering angle
sensor, drive the vehicle above
30 mph
(50 km/h) for a minimum of 1.2 mi (2 km).
Make sure to drive straight ahead for a
minimum of 30 seconds. Several vehicle
functions are disabled and a warning light
could appear until the sensor is calibrated.
Battery Management System
The battery management system monitors
battery conditions and takes actions to
extend battery life. If excessive battery
drain is detected, the system temporarily
disables some of the following features:
• Heated rear window.
• Heated seats.
• Climate control.
• Heated steering wheel.

•
Audio unit.
• Navigation system.
A message may appear in the information
display to alert you that battery protection
actions are active.
After battery replacement, or in some
cases after charging the battery with an
external charger, the battery management
system requires eight hours of vehicle sleep
time to relearn the battery state of charge.
During this time your vehicle must remain
fully locked with the ignition off.
Note: If you add electrical accessories or
components to the vehicle, it may adversely
affect battery performance and durability.
This may also affect the performance of
other electrical systems in the vehicle.
Battery Disposal Make sure that you dispose of
old batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
Seek advice from your local authority
about recycling old batteries.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle are
properly aimed at the assembly plant. If
your vehicle has been in an accident, have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible. Headlamp Aiming Target 8 ft (2.4 m).
A

B
25 ft (7.6 m).
C
Horizontal reference line.
D
1. Park your vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 ft (7.6 m) away.
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp, indicated by a 3
millimeter circle on the lens, to the
ground and mark an
8 ft (2.4 m)
horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen at this height, a piece of
masking tape works well.
3. Switch on the low beam headlamps to
illuminate the wall or screen and open
the hood. Cover one of the headlamps
so no light hits the wall.

AUXILIARY SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
Each circuit is individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
The switches are labeled AUX 1 through
AUX 6. They only operate when the ignition
is in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. We recommend that you
leave the engine running to maintain
battery charge when using the switches
for an extended time or when using higher
current draw accessories. When a switch
is turned on, the indicator light on the
switch illuminates and the circuit provides
power to the device wired to that switch.
Note:
AUX switch 1 is dedicated to the
off-road lamps when your vehicle is
equipped with this option. There are three sets of blunt-cut and
sealed circuits. Two sets are under the
hood and behind the battery tray, and one
set is inside your vehicle at the passenger
footwell.
The powered set (A) is taped behind the
battery tray and is marked with a red spot
tape.
The second set (B) is also under the hood.
It is taped behind the battery tray and is
marked with a white spot tape. This set
routes to the interior passenger footwell.
Remove the battery and battery tray to
access the under hood circuits.
The interior set is taped on a wire harness
by the passenger side footwell. This set is
the other end of the circuits taped behind
the battery tray marked with a white spot
tape.
Remove the fuse panel access door in the
kick panel to access the wires. If you do not
see them, you may need to pull them
down.

’s
Manual for information on fuse and relay
locations. See your authorized dealer for
