Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
When it is dark enough outside or in
areas of limited lighting, the interior
lamps, headlamps, back-up lamps,
and parking lamps come on
when
Kis pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
The lamps inside the vehicle come
on when any door is opened. They
stay on for about 20 seconds. When
all of the doors have been closed or
the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
they gradually fade out.
This feature can be changed. See
“Vehicle Locator Lights” under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-43.
Exit Lighting
The headlamps, taillamps, parking
lamps, back-up lamps, outside
mirror lamps, and license plate
lamps come on at night, or in areas
with limited lighting, when the key is
removed from the ignition. The
dome lamp comes on after the
ignition is changed to the OFF
position. The exterior lamps and
dome lamp remain on 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 on
page 5-43.
Theater Dimming
This feature allows for a three to five
second fade out of the courtesy
lamps instead of having them turn
off immediately.

Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that 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 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 fastenough at idle to produce all of the
power 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,
trailer loads, 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, and it isrecommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much as
possible. See
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages on page 5-33.
Battery Power Protection
This feature shuts off the dome
lamp if it is left on for more than
10 minutes when the ignition is in
LOCK/OFF. This helps to prevent
the battery from running down.
If the exterior lamps are left on, they
turn off when the ignition is turned
off. If the parking lamps are turned
on after the ignition is in the LOCK/
OFF position, the parking lamps
remain on until they are manually
turned off.
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 off position and then back to
the parking lamp or headlamp
position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be in
the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN
position.

tinting with metallic film. The
metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not

warranty.
Diversity Antenna System
For vehicles with convertible tops,
the AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self-tuning system, and is in the rear
spoiler. It optimizes the AM and FM
signals relative to the vehicle's
position and radio station source.
No maintenance or adjustments are
needed. Do not place loads on the
spoiler. If the spoiler is replaced, be
sure it is replaced with the correct
GM parts for the best AM and FM
reception.
Multi-Band Antenna
The multi-band antenna is on the
roof of the vehicle. The antenna is
used for OnStar, the SiriusXM
Satellite Radio Service System, and
GPS (Global Positioning System),
if the vehicle has these features.

obstructions for clear reception.
If the vehicle has a sunroof, and it is
open, reception can also be
affected.

quality of the music recorded, and
how the disc has been handled.
Handle discs carefully and store
them in their original cases or other
protective cases away from direct
sunlight and dust. If the bottom
surface of a disc is damaged, the
disc may not play properly or at all.
Do not touch the bottom surface of
a disc while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up discs
by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
If the bottom surface of a disc is
dirty, take a soft lint-free cloth,
or dampen a clean soft cloth in a
