The exterior and interior lamps
remain on for a set amount of
time, then automatically
turn off.
The interior lights turn on
when the vehicle is turned off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the
exterior lamp control off.
This feature can be changed.

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 thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the
vehicle has a voltmeter gauge
or a voltage display on the
Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage
move 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,
heated seats, engine cooling
fans, 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 DIC message
might be displayed. If a battery
message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as
much as possible. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Base
Level)
0129 or
Driver Information Center
(DIC) (Uplevel) 0132.

166 Infotainment System
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service
If equipped, SiriusXM Satellite
Radio Service provides digital
radio reception. Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with
satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
In addition, traveling or
standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels
may cause loss of the
SiriusXM signal for a period of
time. Some cellular services
may interfere with SXM
reception causing loss of
signal.
Mobile Device Usage
Mobile device usage, such as
making or receiving calls,
charging, or just having the
mobile device on may cause
static interference in the radio.
Unplug the mobile device or
turn it off if this happens.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band roof antenna
may be used for radio,
navigation, and other
communication systems,
depending on the equipped
options. To ensure clear
reception, keep the antenna
clear of obstructions, such as
snow and ice. If the vehicle has
a sunroof, and it is open, or a
roof loaded with cargo,
reception may be affected.
Audio Players
Avoiding Untrusted
Media Devices
When using media devices
such as USB and mobile
devices, consider the source.
Untrusted media devices could
contain files that affect
system operation or
performance and should be
avoided.
USB Port
Audio stored on a USB device
may be listened to.
Depending on your vehicle, it
may be equipped with two
USB ports in the center
console under the armrest and
another two on the center
stack. These ports are for
data and charging. There may
also be two USB ports at the
rear of the center console and
a USB port on each side of the
third row seats for
charging only.
Caution
To avoid vehicle damage,
unplug all accessories and
disconnect all accessory
cables from the vehicle
when not in use. Accessory
cables left plugged into the
vehicle, unconnected to a
device, could be damaged or
cause an electrical short if
the unconnected end comes(Continued)

automatically. You may not
be able to release the EPB
using the EPB switch.
It should automatically
release when the vehicle is
shifted out of P (Park).
Leaving the Vehicle with
the Engine Running
{Warning
It can be dangerous to leave
the vehicle with the engine
running. It could overheat
and catch fire.
It is dangerous to get out of
the vehicle if the vehicle is
not in P (Park) with the
parking brake set. The
vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle
when the engine is running.
If you have left the engine
running, the vehicle can
move suddenly. You or
others could be injured. To
be sure the vehicle will not(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always
set the parking brake and
shift to P (Park). See Shifting
Into Park (Mechanical
Shifter)0267 or
Shifting Into Park (Electronic
Shifter) 0268. If you are
towing a trailer, see Driving
Characteristics and Towing
Tips 0358.
If you have to leave the vehicle
with the engine running, be
sure the vehicle is in P (Park)
and the parking brake is set
before you leave it.
If you are towing a trailer and
parking on a hill, see Driving
Characteristics and Towing
Tips 0358.
Shifting out of Park
(Mechanical Shifter)
This vehicle is equipped with
an electronic shift lock release
system. The shift lock release
is designed to prevent
movement of the shift lever
out of P (Park), unless the
ignition is on and the brake
pedal is applied.
The shift lock release is always
functional except in the case
of an uncharged or low
voltage (less than 9 volt)
battery.
If the vehicle has an
uncharged battery or a
battery with low voltage, try
charging or jump starting the
battery. See Jump Starting -
North America 0447 for more
information.
To shift out of P (Park):
1. Apply the brake pedal.
2. Release the parking brake. See Electric Parking Brake
0287.
