outside the U.S., Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.
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:
Press and hold the Universal Remote
system button while pressing and
releasing the hand-held transmitter
button every two seconds until the
signal has been successfully accepted
by the Universal Remote system. The
Universal Remote system indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under
“Programming the Universal Remote
System ”to complete.Universal Remote System
Operation
Using the Universal Remote
System
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Remote system button for at
least one-half second. The indicator
light will come on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons
Erase all programmed buttons when
vehicle ownership is terminated.
To erase:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light
begins to flash. This should take
about 10 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
Reprogramming a Single
Universal Remote System Button
To reprogram any of the system
buttons: 1. Press and hold any one of the buttons. Do not release the
button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without
releasing the button, proceed
with Step 1 under “Programming
the Universal Remote System.”

IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns the
vehicle's high-beam headlamps on and
off according to surrounding traffic
conditions.
The system turns the high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough
and there is no other traffic present.
This light
bcomes on in the

Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top center
of the windshield that automatically
controls the system. Keep this area of
the windshield clear of debris to allow
for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on,
under the automatic control, until one
of the following situations occurs:
.
The system detects an
approaching vehicle's headlamps.
. The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
. The outside light is bright enough
that high-beam headlamps are not
required.
. The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
. The IntelliBeam system is
disabled by the button on the turn
signal lever. If this happens,
press
bon the turn signal lever
when the exterior lamp control is
in the AUTO or
2position to
reactivate the IntelliBeam system.
The instrument cluster light will
come on to indicate the
IntelliBeam system is reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:

. The other vehicle's lamps cannot
be detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
. The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by
something that blocks the view of
the light sensor.
. The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and
not detect headlamps and
taillamps.
. The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.Exterior Lamps Off

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 turns off the headlamps.
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 0137.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will turn off.
The automatic headlamp system turns

Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
Some exterior lamps and most of the
interior lights turn on briefly at night,
or in areas of limited lighting when
K
is pressed on the remote key. After
about 30 seconds the exterior lamps
turn off. When any door is opened,
the remote unlock is pressed or the

OFF all interior lights turn on. The
dome and remaining interior lamps
dim to off after 20 seconds. Entry
lighting can be disabled manually by
turning the ignition on or to ACC/
ACCESSORY, or by pressing
Qon the
remote key.
The entry lighting feature for exterior
lighting can be changed. See “Vehicle
Locator Lights” underVehicle
Personalization 0124. Entry Lighting with Approach
Detection
If equipped with approach detection,
the entry lighting feature will
automatically turn on when the
remote key is detected within
approximately 2 m (6 ft) of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has remained parked for
an extended period of time with no
remote key use or Keyless Access
operation, approach detection will be
disabled. To reactivate, press any
button on the remote key or open and
close all vehicle doors to re-enable the
entry lighting feature on approach.
Approach detection will not work if:
.
The vehicle battery is low.
. The ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY.
. Entry lighting is set to Off. See
“Vehicle Locator Lights” under
Vehicle Personalization 0124.
Approach detection will not work with
a single remote key if:
. The remote key is left within a 5 m
(16 ft) range of the vehicle for
several minutes .
The remote key is left inside the
vehicle and all the doors are
closed
To help maximize remote key battery
life, do not store the remote key
within 5 m (16 ft) of the vehicle.
Exit Lighting
Some exterior lamps come on at night,
or in areas with limited lighting, when
the driver door is opened after the
ignition is turned off. The dome lamp
comes on after the ignition is turned
off. The exterior lamps and dome
lamp remain on after the door is
closed for a set amount of time, then
automatically turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalization 0124.
Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM), which estimates
the battery's temperature and state of

140 LIGHTING
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. 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) 0117.
Battery Power Protection
The battery saver feature is designed
to protect the vehicle's battery.
If some interior lamps are left on and
the ignition is turned off, the battery
rundown protection system
automatically turns the lamp off after
some time.
Exterior Lighting Battery
Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about
10 minutes after the ignition 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;or
2position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be on or
in ACC/ACCESSORY.
