Speed : Shows the vehicle speed in either
kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per
hour (mph).
Drive Summary : Displays the current
distance traveled, in either kilometers (km)
or miles (mi).
It also includes the Average Fuel Economy.
Average Fuel Economy shows the
approximate average liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km), kilometers per
liter (km/L), or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number only reflects the approximate Average Fuel Economy that the vehicle has
at that moment, and changes as driving
conditions change.
The timer shows the time in the current
drive cycle.
All values in the Drive Summary are
automatically reset each time the vehicle is
started.
Trip 1 or Trip 2, Average Fuel Economy, and
Average Speed :
Shows the current distance
traveled, in either kilometers (km) or
miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last
reset.
The Average Fuel Economy display shows
the approximate average liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km), kilometers per
liter (km/L), or miles per gallon (mpg). This
number is calculated based on the value
recorded since the last time this menu item
was reset. This number reflects only the
approximate average fuel economy that the
vehicle has at that moment, and changes as
driving conditions change.
Average Speed shows the average speed of
the vehicle in kilometers per hour (km/h) or
miles per hour (mph). This average is
calculated based on various vehicle speeds
recorded since the last reset of this value. Press the thumbwheel while this display is

is low, the value for that tire is shown in
amber. See Tire Pressure Monitor System
0 377 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation 0377.
Fuel Economy : Displays average fuel
economy, the best fuel economy over the
selected distance, and a bar graph showing
instantaneous fuel economy.

Radio Signals for Some Gate Operators
Some gate operators and radio-frequency
laws require transmitter signals to time out
or quit after several seconds of transmission.
This may not be long enough for the
Universal Remote system to pick up the
signal during programming.
If the programming did not work, replace
Step 2 under “Programming the Universal
Remote System” with the following:

in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the turn signal lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Partially raise or lower the lever for less
than one second until the arrow starts to

the turn signals to automatically flash three
times. It will flash six times if Tow/Haul
Mode is active. Holding the turn signal lever for more than one second will cause the
turn signals to flash until the lever is
released.
The lever returns to its starting position
whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane change the
arrows flash rapidly or do not come on, a
signal bulb could be burned out. If equipped
with LED turn signals, see your dealer.
Replace any burned out bulbs. If a bulb is
not burned out, check the fuse. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers 0361.
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. A message may
appear in the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Vehicle Messages 0133. To turn
the chime and message off, move the turn
signal lever to the off position.

Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
The interior lamps turn on when pressingK
on the remote key or opening any doors,
and the dome lamp control is in the door
position.
Some exterior lamps also turn on when
pressing
Kon the remote key or opening
any doors. Low-Beam lamps will only turn
on briefly at night, or in areas with limited
lighting.
All lamps will gradually fade out after about
30 seconds. Entry lighting can be disabled manually by
closing all doors, pressing
Qon the remote
key, or starting the vehicle.
This feature can be changed. On the
infotainment home page, select the Settings

turning the exterior lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. On the
infotainment home screen, select the
Settings icon
TVehicleTExit Lighting.
Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM), which 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. The
voltmeter gauge or the voltage display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC),
if equipped, may show the voltage moving
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,
