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 speed drops
below 20 km/h (12 mph).
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
are missing, damaged,
obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps
are covered with dirt, snow,
and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps
cannot be detected due to
dense exhaust, smoke, fog,
snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne
obstructions.
.The vehicle 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.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery
temperature and state of
charge. It then adjusts the
voltage for best performance
and extended life of the 12–
volt battery
When the battery state of
charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly
increase the charge. When thestate of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent over charging. As this
adjustment occurs, you may
see the voltage move up or
down on the voltmeter gauge
or voltage display on the
Driver Information (DIC),
if equipped. This is normal. If a
problem occurs, an alert will be
displayed.
If the electrical loads are very
high, the battery can be
discharged when the vehicle is
stationary. A high electrical
load occurs when several
features are on, such as:
headlamps, high beams, rear
window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed,
heated seats, motor cooling
fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power
outlets.
EPM works to prevent
excessive discharge of the
battery by balancing the
electrical system output and
the vehicle's electrical needs.

In some cases, it can
temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
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 battery voltage and
charging message displays.
It is recommended that the
driver reduce the electrical
loads as much as possible. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC)0132.
Battery Power
Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained if
the interior courtesy lamps or
reading lamps are accidentally
left on. If any of these lamps
are left on, they automatically
turn off after 10 minutes when
the vehicle is turned off. The lamps will not come back on
again until one of the following
occurs:
.The vehicle is started.
.The doors are closed and
then re-opened.
Exterior Lighting
Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off
about 10 minutes after the
vehicle is turned off, if the
parking lamps or headlamps
have been manually left on.
This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the
