The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock thedoors with a key or use the manual door lock. Itarms only if you use a power door lock with the dooropen or the RKE transmitter.
To avoid arming the alarm by accident:
•Lock the vehicle with the door key or the manual
door lock.
•Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter system. Pressing the unlock buttonon the RKE transmitter, or unlocking a door withthe key disarms the content theft-deterrent system.Unlocking a door any other way will activate thealarm when a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the driver’sdoor with your key. You can also turn off the alarmby using the unlock button on the RKE transmittersystem, or by starting the car with a valid key.
Changes or modifications made to this system by otherthan an authorized service facility could voidauthorization to use the theft system.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window, thenget out of the vehicle, keeping the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door open,lock the vehicle using the power door lock or theRKE system and close the door. Wait 30 secondsuntil the security lamp goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the manuallock and open the door. The horn will sound andthe hazard lights will flash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s doorwith your key, using the unlock button on the RKEtransmitter or by starting the car with a valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check tosee if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown. Toreplace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers onpage 6-101. If the fuse does not need to be replaced,you may need to have your vehicle serviced.

Park Tilt Mirrors
If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it iscapable of performing the park tilt mirror feature. Thisfeature allows the driver and passenger side mirror to tiltto a factory programmed position when the vehicle is inR (Reverse). This feature may be useful in allowing youto view the curb when you are parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) andeither a five-second delay has occurred, or the ignitionis turned to LOCK/OFF, the driver and passengerside mirror will return to its original position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the DriverInformation Center (DIC). SeeDIC VehicleCustomization on page 4-80for more information.
Outside Convex Mirror
{WARNING:
A convex mirror can make things, like other
vehicles, look farther away than they really are. If
you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit
a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convexmirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen fromthe driver seat.
Outside Heated Mirrors
=(Rear Window Defogger):Press to heat the
mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger” underDualClimate Control System on page 4-36for moreinformation.

The front display is located on top of the instrumentpanel to the right of the driver. The front display will haveeither three or six lights to provide distance andsystem information. With Adaptive Cruise control (ACC),it will have three lights along with the ACC lights.Without ACC, it will have six lights. High-toned beepsfrom the front speakers are for objects detected near thefront bumper.
The rear display is located near the rear window andcan be seen by looking over your right shoulder.The rear display uses three color-coded lights to providedistance and system information. Low-toned beepsfrom the rear speakers are for the rear bumper.
How the System Works
UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever ismoved out of P (Park). The system does not work at aforward or reverse speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in.)off the ground and below hood or trunk level. Objectsmust also be within 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of thevehicle and 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the rear bumper. Thisdistance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
When backing up, if objects are detected at thesame time near both the front and rear bumpers, bothcolor-coded light displays will notify you of objects closeto each bumper. If there are objects detected nearboth bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notifythat objects are close to the rear bumper. However,if while the vehicle is backing up and an object comeswithin 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the front bumper, and at the sametime there is another object further than 0.3 m (1 ft.)from the rear bumper, then the beeps will only besounded to notify you of the closer object that is nearthe front bumper.
The system can be disabled using the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). See “Parking Assist” underDIC Operationand Displays on page 4-62for more information.

Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead consoleon the headliner and in the rear door opening. Theselamps come on automatically when any door is openedand it is dark outside.
For manual operation, press the button to turn them on.Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shutoff 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Footwell Lamps
For vehicles with footwell lamps, they are located underthe instrument panel and at the rear of the frontseats. These lamps provide soft light to the front andrear floor areas. They dim with the instrument panelcluster lights.
Footwell lighting brightness can be adjusted with theinstrument panel brightness control located belowthe exterior lamps control. SeeInstrument PanelBrightness on page 4-31. The footwell lights will turn offbefore the instrument panel lights are at their lowestlevel of brightness.
Battery Load Management
This feature monitors the vehicle’s electrical load anddetermines when the battery is in a heavy dischargecondition. During times of high electrical loading,the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute(rpm) setting than normal to make sure the batterycharges. High electrical loads may occur when severalof the following are on: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan athigh speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans.
If the battery continues to discharge, even withthe engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electricalloads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs,the rear window defogger may take slightly longerto clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warmas they usually do and the climate control fan may cutback to a lower speed. For more battery savinginformation, see “Battery Saver Active Message” underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67.
4-32

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) thatestimates the battery’s temperature and state ofcharge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performanceand extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage israised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up.When the state of charge is high, the voltage is loweredslightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has avoltmeter gage or a voltage display on the DriverInformation Center (DIC), you may see the voltage moveup or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, analert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electricalloads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This isbecause the generator (alternator) may not bespinning fast enough at idle to produce all the powerthat is needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of thefollowing are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan athigh speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailerloads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of thebattery. It does this by balancing the generator’s outputand the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase
engine idle speed to generate more power, wheneverneeded. It can temporarily reduce the power demands ofsome accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, withoutbeing noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levelsof corrective action, this action may be noticeable to thedriver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC)message might be displayed, such as BATTERYSAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, orLOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it isrecommended that the driver reduce the electrical loadsas much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings and Messageson page 4-67.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s batteryagainst drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When theignition is turned off, the power to these features willautomatically turn off after 10 minutes. Power willbe restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door ortrunk is opened, or the courtesy lamp switch isturned on.
