Lighting 143
For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL can only be
turned off when the vehicle is
parked.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp
control is set to Auto and it is
dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on
automatically.
There is a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Do
not cover the sensor.The system may also turn on
the headlamps when driving
through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a
dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light
outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the
automatic headlamp system
changes to the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL). During
that delay, the instrument
cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel
Illumination Control
0146.
When it is bright enough
outside, the headlamps will
turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp
system turns off when the
exterior lamp control is set to
On or the vehicle is off.
Lamps On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are
activated in daylight with the
vehicle on and the exterior
lamp control is set to Auto, the
headlamps, parking lamps, and
other exterior lamps come on.
The transition time for the
lamps coming on varies based
on wiper speed. When the
wipers are not operating,
these lamps turn off. Set the
exterior lamp control to On or
Off to disable this feature.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
If equipped with the AFL
system, the high-beam
headlamps move horizontally
while turning the steering
wheel to provide greater road
illumination around curves.

144 Lighting
To activate AFL, set the
exterior lamp control to the
Auto position, and Adaptive
Headlight system is active.
See Exterior Lamp Controls
0139.
To adjust the AFL setting, go
to the infotainment home
screen and select Settings >
Vehicle > Lighting.
Moving the exterior lamp
controls out of the Auto
position will deactivate the
system. The high-beam
headlamps can move
horizontally when the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). Headlamps will not
move horizontally when the
electric drive unit is in
R (Reverse). If equipped, the AFL system
automatically modifies the
low-beam lighting patterns to
the situation to enable optimal
light performance for the
driver. Light distribution and
intensity of low-beam light are
controlled based on exterior
lighting conditions, vehicle
location, and driving situations.
Town Light
If equipped, the town light
activates automatically at a
speed up to 55 km/h (34 mph).
The light is wide and
symmetrical. The special beam
pattern is designed to prevent
glare for other road users.
Country Light
If equipped, the country light
activates automatically at a
speed above 55 km/h
(34 mph).
The illumination of the current
lane and the side of the road is
improved, reducing glare to
oncoming and preceding
vehicles.
Freeway/Motorway Light

Lighting 145
If equipped, when driving
faster than 90 km/h (55 mph)
on freeways, the low-beam
illumination is smaller and
extended.
Adverse Weather Light
If equipped, the adverse
weather light activates
automatically when driving in
adverse weather conditions
(heavy rain, snow, sleet,
freezing rain, etc.).
The illumination is shifted
more to the side of the road to
highlight road signs, and
reduces glare caused by
reflecting of wet roads.Maneuvering Light
If equipped, the maneuvering
light activates automatically at
speeds less than 7 km/h
(4 mph) when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse). The maneuvering
light illumination improves
parking and maneuvering
situations.
Headlamp Leveling
Control
Automatic Headlamp
Leveling Control
If equipped, the inclination of
the headlamps are
automatically adjusted based
on the vehicle load and driving
conditions (such as
acceleration, braking,
towing, etc.).

while the hazard warning
flashers are on.
The hazard warning flashers
turn on automatically if the
airbags deploy.

or down to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument
cluster will flash in the
direction of the turn or lane
change.

the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it
there until the lane change is
complete. If the lever is moved
momentarily to the lane
change position, the arrow will
flash three times. It will flash
six times if Tow/Haul Mode is
active.The lever returns to its
starting position when it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change, the arrow flashes
rapidly or does not come on, a
signal LED may be burned out.
See your dealer for service.
If a LED is not burned out,
check the fuse. See

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12–
volt battery
When the battery state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly
increase the charge. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this
adjustment occurs, you may
see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge
or voltage display on the
Driver Information (DIC),
if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be
displayed.
If the electrical loads are very
high, the battery can be
discharged when the vehicle is
stationary. A high electrical
load occurs when several
features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling
fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power
outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery by balancing the
electrical system output and
the vehicle's electrical needs.

In some cases, it can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
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 battery voltage and
charging message displays.
It is recommended that the
driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0132.
Battery Power
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained if
the interior courtesy lamps or
reading lamps are accidentally
left on. If any of these lamps
are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and
then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off
about 10 minutes after the
vehicle 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
O
position and then back to the
;or2position.
To keep the lamps on for more
than 10 minutes, the vehicle
must be on.

or road spray conditions.
Accessory Installations and
Vehicle Modifications
Do not install or place any
object around the front
camera windshield area that
would obstruct the front
camera view.
Do not install objects on top of
the vehicle that overhang and
obstruct the front camera,
such as a canoe, kayak,
or other items that can be
transported. Do not modify the hood,
headlamps, or fog lamps, as
this may limit the camera’s
ability to detect an object.
{Warning
Stickers or accessories
attached on or around the
front or rear fascia of your
vehicle can impair the radar
sensors resulting in vehicle
damage or personal injury.
Your vehicle could brake
suddenly. Do not attach
anything on or around the
front or rear fascia, including
the license plate, the
bumper, or the grille. Use
only GM genuine
accessories.
Do not attach anything to the
front or rear fascia as this may
interfere with the radar
sensor operation. Cleaning the Sensing System
The camera sensor on the
windshield behind the
rearview mirror, and the
sensors on the front of the
vehicle can become blocked by
snow, ice, dirt, mud, or debris.
This area needs to be cleaned
for ACC to operate properly.
If ACC will not operate, regular
cruise control may be
available. See
“Switching
Between ACC and Regular
Cruise Control” previously in
this section. Always consider
driving conditions before using
either cruise control system.
For cleaning instructions, see
“Washing the Vehicle” under
Exterior Care 0364.
Super Cruise
If equipped, Super Cruise can
steer to maintain lane position
under certain conditions on
Super Cruise-enabled roads
that are separated from
opposing traffic.
