Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is set to
Auto and it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
when driving through a parking garage or
tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the Daytime RunningLamps (DRL). During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0143.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will turn off or may change
to DRL.
The automatic headlamp system turns off
when the exterior lamp control is set to On
or the vehicle is off.
Lamps On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated in
daylight with the vehicle on and the exterior
lamp control is set to Auto, the headlamps,
parking lamps, and other exterior lamps
come on. The transition time for the lamps
coming on varies based on wiper speed.
When the wipers are not operating, these
lamps turn off. Set the exterior lamp control
to On or Off to disable this feature.
Hazard Warning Flashers
|: Press this button on the overhead
console to make the front and rear turn
signal lamps flash on and off. This warns
others that you are having trouble. Press
again to turn the flashers off.
The turn signals do not work while the
hazard warning flashers are on.
The hazard warning flashers turn on
automatically if the airbags deploy.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever all the way up or down to
signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow
starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold
it there until the lane change is complete.
If the lever is moved momentarily to the
lane change position, the arrow will flash
three times. It will flash six times if
Tow/Haul mode is active.
The lever returns to its starting position
when it is released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change, the
arrow flashes rapidly or does not come on, a
signal LED may be burned out.See your dealer for service. If a LED is not
burned out, check the fuse. See
Instrument
Panel Fuse Block (Left) 0340 or
Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Right) 0342.
Exterior Cargo Lamps

in the cargo area or on the sides of the
vehicle, if needed.

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 the state 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 Center
(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)
(Base Level) 0129 or
Driver Information Center (DIC) (Uplevel)
0 130.
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 10-minute timer, turn
the exterior lamp control to the
Oposition
and then back to the
;or2position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the vehicle must be on.
