Instrument Panel 3-7

If the headlamps are on, they will
return to low-beam when the lever is
released.
For vehicles with High Intensity
Discharge (HID) headlamps,
the ash-to-pass feature does not
work while the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) are on.

1 (Low Speed):For steady wiping
at low speed.
2 (High Speed):For steady wiping
at high speed.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If the
blades are frozen to the windshield,
gently loosen or thaw them. If
they become damaged, install new
blades or blade inserts. See
Windshield Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 5-36.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. A circuit breaker stops
them until the motor cools.Windshield Washer
J
(Washer Fluid):Press the
button located at the end of the turn
signal/multifunction lever, to spray
washer uid on the windshield.
The wipers clear the windshield and
either stop or return to the preset
speed. The ignition key must
be in ACC/ACCESSORY or
ON/RUN for this to work. See
Windshield Washer Fluid on
page 5-23Windshield Washer Fluid.
{CAUTION
In freezing weather, do not use
your washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
uid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID
is displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the
washer uid is low. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on
page 3-48.
3-8 Instrument Panel

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
BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE,
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW
BATTERY. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that
the driver reduce the electrical loads
as much as possible. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on
page 3-48.Battery Run-Down
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained, if the
interior courtesy lamps, reading/map
lamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk
lamp are accidentally left on. If
any of these lamps are left on,
they automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The
lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is turned on.
The exterior lamps control is
turned off, then on again.
The headlamps will timeout after
10 minutes, if they are manually
turned on before the ignition is off.
Instrument Panel 3-17

Cruise Control Light
This light comes on whenever the
cruise control is set.
The light goes out when the cruise
control is turned off. SeeCruise
Control on page 3-10for more
information.
Highbeam On Light
The highbeam on light comes on
when the high-beam headlamps are
in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer on page 3-7for more
information.
Tow/Haul Mode Light
This light comes on when the
Tow/Haul mode has been activated.
For more information, see
Tow/Haul Mode on page 2-26.
Fuel Gage
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gage shows about how much fuel
the vehicle has left in the fuel tank.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates
the side of the vehicle the fuel door
is on.The gage will rst indicate empty
before the vehicle is out of fuel, but
the vehicle’s fuel tank should be
lled soon.
When the fuel tank is low on fuel,
the FUEL LEVEL LOW message
appears on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). For more information
seeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-48.
Here are some situations that can
occur with the fuel gage. None
of these indicate a problem with the
fuel gage.
At the gas station, the fuel
pump shuts off before the gage
reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel
to ll up than the fuel gage
indicated. For example, the gage
may have indicated the tank
was half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the
tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
The gage goes back to empty
when the ignition is turned off.

How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level surface.
If the level is below the bottom of
the ller plug hole, you will need to
add some lubricant. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to
the bottom of the ller plug hole.
Use care not to overtighten the plug.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine what kind of lubricant to
use. SeeRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset at
the factory and should need no
further adjustment.
However, if your vehicle is damaged
in a crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. Aim adjustment to
the low-beam headlamps may be
necessary if oncoming drivers ash
their high-beam headlamps at
you (for vertical aim).
If the headlamps need to be
re-aimed, it is recommended that
you take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer for service.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, seeReplacement Bulbs
on page 5-35.
For any bulb changing procedure
not listed in this section, contact
your dealer/retailer.
High Intensity Discharge
(HID) Lighting
{CAUTION
The low beam high intensity
discharge lighting system operates
at a very high voltage. If you try
to service any of the system
components, you could be
seriously injured. Have your
dealer/retailer or a qualied
technician service them.
Your vehicle has HID headlamps.
After your vehicle’s HID headlamp
bulb has been replaced, you may
notice that the beam is a slightly
different shade than it was originally.
This is normal. (A) Filler Plug (B) Drain Plug
