HOW DOES THE BATTERYMANAGEMENT SYSTEM WORK
If excessive battery drain is detected, thesystem temporarily disables someelectrical systems to protect the battery.
Systems included are:
•Heated rear window.
•Heated seats.
•Climate control.
•Heated steering wheel.
•Audio unit.
•Navigation system.
A message could appear in the informationdisplay to alert you that battery protectionactions are active. This message is only fornotification that an action is taking place,and not intended to indicate an electricalproblem or that the battery requiresreplacement.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
After battery replacement, or in somecases after charging the battery with anexternal charger, the battery managementsystem requires eight hours of vehicle sleeptime to relearn the battery state of charge.During this time, your vehicle must remainfully locked with the ignition switched off.
Note:Prior to relearning the battery stateof charge, the battery management systemcould temporarily disable some electricalsystems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery managementsystem works correctly, do not connect anelectrical device ground connectiondirectly to the battery negative post. Thiscan cause inaccurate measurements ofthe battery condition and potentialincorrect system operation.
Note:If you add electrical accessories orcomponents to the vehicle, it couldadversely affect battery performance anddurability. This could also affect theperformance of other electrical systems inthe vehicle.
RESETTING THE BATTERYSENSOR
When you install a new battery, reset thebattery sensor by doing the following:
1.Switch the ignition on, and leave theengine off.
Note:Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10seconds.
2.Flash the high beam headlamps fivetimes, ending with the high beams off.
3.Press and release the brake pedal threetimes.
The battery warning lamp flashes threetimes to confirm that the reset issuccessful.
RECYCLING AND DISPOSING OFTHE 12V BATTERY

The battery management system determines that the 12Vbattery is at a low state of charge. Start the engine to chargethe battery or charge the battery using an aftermarket batterycharger. Always use the vehicle ground point when connectingthe negative cable of the external battery charger. See JumpStarting the Vehicle (page 303).This message clears onceyou restart your vehicle and the battery state of charge hasrecovered. Do not switch on the ignition when a batterycharger is in use to charge the battery.
Battery State of ChargeLow
The battery management system determines that the batteryis at a low state of charge. Turn the ignition off as soon aspossible to protect the battery. This message will clear oncethe vehicle has been started and the battery state of chargehas recovered. Turning off unnecessary electrical loads willallow faster battery state-of-charge recovery.
Turn Power Off To SaveBattery
Displayed when the battery management system detects anextended low-voltage condition. Various vehicle features willbe disabled to help preserve the battery. Turn off as many ofthe electrical loads as soon as possible to improve systemvoltage. If the system voltage has recovered, the disabledfeatures will operate again as normal.

CHANGING THE 12V BATTERY
The battery is in the engine compartment.See Under Hood Overview (page 321).
Your vehicle has a maintenance-freebattery. It does not require additionalwater during service.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep thetop of the battery clean and dry and thebattery cables tightly fastened to thebattery terminals. If any corrosion ispresent on the battery or terminals, removethe cables from the terminals and cleanwith a wire brush. You can neutralize theacid with a solution of baking soda andwater.

We recommend that you disconnect thenegative battery cable terminal from thebattery if you plan to store your vehicle foran extended period.
Note:If you only disconnect the negativebattery cable terminal, make sure it isisolated or placed away from the batteryterminal to avoid unintended connection orarcing.
To maintain correct operation of thebattery management system, if you addany electrical devices to your vehicle, donot connect the ground connection directlyto the negative battery terminal. Aconnection at the negative battery terminalcan cause inaccurate measurements ofthe battery condition and potentialincorrect system operation.
Note:If you add electrical accessories orcomponents to your vehicle this mayadversely affect battery performance,durability and the performance of otherelectrical systems on your vehicle.
If you replace the battery make sure itmatches the electrical requirements ofyour vehicle.
If you disconnect or replace the batteryand your vehicle has an automatictransmission, it must relearn its adaptivestrategy. Because of this, the transmissionmay shift firmly when first driven. This isnormal operation while the transmissionfully updates its operation to optimumshift feel.
Remove and Reinstall the Battery
To disconnect or remove the battery, dothe following:
1.Apply the parking brake and switch theignition off.
2.Switch all electrical equipment off, forexample lights and radio.
3.Wait a minimum of two minutes beforedisconnecting the battery.
Note:The engine management system hasa power hold function and remains poweredfor a period of time after you switch theignition off. This is to allow diagnostic andadaptive tables to be stored. Disconnectingthe battery without waiting can causedamage not covered by the vehicleWarranty.
4.Disconnect the negative battery cableterminal.
5.Disconnect the positive battery cableterminal.
6.Remove the battery securing clamp.
7.Remove the battery.
8.To install, reverse the removalprocedure.
Note:Before reconnecting the battery,make sure the ignition remains switched off.
Note:Make sure the battery cable terminalsare fully tightened.
Note:After cleaning or replacing thebattery, make sure you reinstall the batterycover or shield.
If you disconnect or replace the vehiclebattery, you must reset the followingfeatures:
•Window bounce-back. See Windows(page 103).
•Clock settings.
•Pre-set radio stations.
•Steering angle sensor.
Note:To calibrate the steering anglesensor, drive the vehicle above 30 mph(50 km/h) for a minimum of 1.2 mi (2 km).Make sure to drive straight ahead for aminimum of 30 seconds. Several vehiclefunctions are disabled and a warning lightcould appear until the sensor is calibrated.

WHAT ARE THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overheadconsole makes aftermarket customizationeasier with six prewired switchesconnected to the power distribution box.Each circuit is individually fused forconnection of electrical accessories.
For maximum vehicle performance, keepthe following information in mind whenadding accessories or equipment to yourvehicle:
•When adding accessories, equipment,passengers and luggage to yourvehicle, do not exceed the total weightcapacity of the vehicle or of the frontor rear axle (GVWR or GAWR asindicated on the safety compliancecertification label). Ask an authorizeddealer for specific weight information.
•It is your responsibility to ensure thatany equipment you have fittedcomplies with applicable locallegislation.
•An authorized dealer needs to installmobile communication systems.Improper installation may harm theoperation of your vehicle, particularlyif the manufacturer did not design themobile communication systemspecifically for automotive use.
•If you or an authorized dealer add anyelectrical or electronic accessories orcomponents not produced by us toyour vehicle, you may adversely affectbattery performance and durability. Inaddition, you may also adversely affectthe performance of the other electricalsystems in the vehicle.
LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The switches are labeled AUX 1 throughAUX 6. They only operate when the ignitionis in the on position or in the off positionwhen Delay Accessory is active, whetherthe engine is running or not. Werecommend that you leave the enginerunning to maintain battery charge whenusing the switches for an extended time orwhen using higher current drawaccessories. When a switch is turned on,the indicator light on the switch illuminatesand the circuit provides power to thedevice wired to that switch.
