You can also program the remote vehicle start system
to start up the vehicle’s automatic climate control
system. If this feature is turned on, the system monitors
the outside temperature and turns on the rear window
defogger, front window defogger, and heated or
ventilated seats, if equipped. See “Personal Settings
Menu” underVehicle Personalization on page 2-47.
Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of
remote starters, for example, requiring a person
using remote start to have the vehicle in view when
doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements
on remote starting of vehicles.
Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle is low
on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate starts,
each with 10 minutes of engine running. If you press the
remote start button on the keyless access transmitter
again before the rst 10 minutes of engine running time
has expired, 10 minutes is added to the remaining
minutes. For example, if the remote start button
is pressed again after ve minutes of the engine run
time, 10 minutes is added and you now have 15 minutes
with the engine running. Once two remote starts or
20 minutes of the engine running have been provided,
the vehicle must be started using the keyless access
with pushbutton start feature, if the engine needs to be
restarted. SeeStarting the Engine on page 2-24for
more information regarding the keyless ignition.The remote start feature will not operate if any of the
following occur:
The check engine light is displayed.
The valet lockout switch is on.
The keyless access transmitter is in the vehicle.
The vehicle’s hood is open.
The vehicle personalization feature is not enabled.
An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle theft
was attempted.
Your keyless access transmitter, with the remote start
button, provides an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle is
running. As a result, you may need to be closer to your
vehicle to turn it off than you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeKeyless Access
System on page 2-3.

Cleaning the System
The radar can become blocked by snow, ice or dirt.
If so, you may need to turn off the engine and clean the
lens. Remember, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control
in icy conditions, or when visibility is low, such as in fog,
rain or snow.
The emblem/lens is located in the center of the grille.
To clean the emblem/lens, wipe the surface with a
soft cloth. After cleaning the emblem/lens, engage the
Adaptive Cruise Control. If you are unable to do so, see
your dealer.
Headlamps
The exterior lamp control is located in the middle of the
turn signal/multifunction lever.
O(Exterior Lamp Control):Turn the control with this
symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps.The exterior lamp control has four positions:
O(On/Off):Turn the control to this position to turn off
all lamps and automatic lighting features including
Daytime Running Lamps and Intellibeam™
This is a “momentary” switch that will spring back to the
AUTO position when released. An AUTOMATIC
LIGHTS ON message will appear on the DIC when
automatic lights are enabled or an AUTOMATIC LIGHTS
OFF message will appear on the DIC when the
automatic lights are disabled.
AUTO (Automatic):Turn the control to this position to
put the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode, if
enabled, will turn the exterior lamps on and off depending
upon how much light is available outside of the vehicle.
Due to the “momentary” switch design, your automatic
lights may be disabled even if you are in AUTO position.
To enable automatic lighting do any of the following:
Turn the headlamp control from AUTO to off
and release the switch. It will return back to
the AUTO position by itself.
Turn the headlamp control from the parking lamp
position to AUTO.
Turn the headlamp control from the headlamp
position to AUTO.
3-33

The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due
to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray,
mist or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the view of the
Intellibeam™ light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt,
haze or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the
vehicle points upward, causing the Intellibeam™
sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps
and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.
Disabling and Resetting Intellibeam™
at the Rearview Mirror
Intellibeam™ can be disabled and reset to the original
factory setting by using the controls on the inside
rearview mirror.
O(On/Off):To disable the system, press and hold
this button on the inside rearview mirror for three
seconds and release it after the indicator on the inside
rearview mirror ashes two times. This lets you
know that Intellibeam™ has been turned off and will not
come back on until the system has been reset.
To reset the system, quickly press and release this
button on the inside rearview mirror. The indicator on the
inside rearview mirror will ash one time to indicate
that Intellibeam™ has been reset.
A different sensitivity setting is available for dealer
diagnostics. This is done by pushing and holding this
button for 20 seconds until the light ashes three times.
If you accidentally activate this, the vehicle’s setting
will automatically be reset each time the ignition
is turned off and then on again; otherwise, refer to the
text above for resetting the system.
3-36

Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL is located on top of the
instrument panel. If you cover the sensor, it will
read dark, and the exterior lamps may come on when
you do not need them.
Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamp controls are located on the turn
signal/multifunction lever.
-:The band with this symbol is used to turn the
front fog lamps on and off.
The parking lamps must be on for the fog lamps
to work.
To turn the fog lamps on, turn the fog lamp band on the
lever up to the dot and release it. The band will return
to its original position.
To turn the fog lamps off, turn the fog lamp band up to
the dot and release it. The band will return to its
original position, and the fog lamps will turn off. If you
turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will also turn off. They’ll turn back on again when you
switch back to low-beam headlamps.
3-39

Entry Lighting
The entry lighting system turns on the reading and
dome lamps and the backlighting to the exterior lamp
control when a door is opened or if you press the remote
keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If activated by
the transmitter, the lighting will remain active for
about 25 seconds. The entry lighting system uses the
light sensor; it must be dark outside in order for the
lamps to turn on. The lamps turn off about 25 seconds
after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if
the ignition is on, or immediately deactivate if the power
locks are activated.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits dimming of the instrument panel
displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the
key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This
feature operates with the light sensor and is fully
automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside
and the parking lamps are active, the instrument
panel displays can be adjusted by turning the instrument
panel brightness knob. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-41for additional information.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead console.
These lamps come on automatically when any door is
opened.
For manual operation, press the button next to each
lamp to turn it on. Press it again to turn the lamp off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at
a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal
to make sure the battery charges. High electrical
loads may occur when several of the following are on:
headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated
seats and engine cooling fans.
