Dome Lamp Override
E(Dome Override):Press this button, located
below the exterior lamp control, to turn the
dome lamp off even when a door is opened.
SeeExterior Lamps on page 170for more
information on location.
To return the lamp to automatic operation,
press the button again.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come
on when you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Electric Power 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 put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, 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 loads are on: 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.Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition
is in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery
from running down.

the jack base by pushing the blocks up into
the assembly. The outer hole in the jack base
aligns with the tab on the bracket. When

3. Remove the wheel blocks and the wheel
block retainer by turning the wing nut
counterclockwise.
4. Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the
other side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.
5. Locate the wing nut used to retain the storage
bag and tools which is under the front
passenger’s seat. Remove it by turning the
wing nut counterclockwise.
You will use the jack handle extensions and the
