safety belts, the injuries can be
much worse. You can hit things
inside the vehicle harder or be
ejected from the vehicle. You and
your passenger(s) can be seriously
injured or killed. In the same crash,

power outlets; one is located below
the climate control system and
the other is inside the center storage
console.
The accessory power outlets do not
work when the key is removed
from the ignition and the driver door
is opened, this helps to preserve
the battery life of the vehicle.
Certain power accessory plugs may
not be compatible to the accessory
power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem,
see your dealer/retailer for additional
information on the accessory
power plugs.Notice:Adding any electrical
equipment to the vehicle can
damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Each outlet is rated to
a maximum output of 120W.
Usage of equipment exceeding
an amperage rating of 20A may
require fuse replacement. Check
with your dealer/retailer before
adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the proper
installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage
not covered by the warranty.
Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the
power outlets are designed for
accessory power plugs only.
Warning Lights,
Gages, and Indicators
Warning lights come on when
there could be a problem with a
vehicle function. Some warning
lights come on briefly when
the engine is started to indicate
they are working.
Gages can indicate when there
could be a problem with a vehicle
function. Often gages and warning
lights work together to indicate
a problem with the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights
comes on and stays on while
driving, or when one of the gages
shows there may be a problem,
check the section that explains what
to do. Follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be
costly and even dangerous.
Instruments and Controls 4-9

Readings between the low and high
warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.
Readings in the low warning zone
can occur when a large number of
electrical accessories are operating
in the vehicle and the engine is left
idling for an extended period.
If there is a problem with the battery
charging system, a message
appears in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) and/or the charging
system light comes on. SeeBattery
Voltage and Charging Messages
on page 4-30andCharging System
Light on page 4-19for more
information.
However, readings in either warning
zone can indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
Have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible.Safety Belt Reminders

Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
The lamps inside the vehicle come
on when any door is opened. They
stay on about 20 seconds and when
all of the doors have been closed or
the ignition is turned to ON/RUN they
gradually fade out. They also come
on when the unlock symbol button is
pressed on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system transmitter.
The lamps inside the vehicle stay
on for about 20 seconds after
the key is removed from the ignition
to provide light as you exit.
Theater Dimming
This feature allows for a three to
five second fade out of the courtesy
lamps instead of immediately
turning off.
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 gage 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.
5-6 Lighting

The AUX input is located in the
center console.
