Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle,
a chime will sound when you open the driver’s
door. Always remember to remove your key from
the ignition and take it with you. This will lock
your ignition and transmission. Also, always
remember to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories can be used for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key is turned off:

The radio continues to work for 10 minutes or until
the driver’s door is opened.
For an additional 10 minutes of operation, close all
the doors and turn the key to ON and then back
to OFF.
All these features will work when the key is in the
ON or ACCESSORY positions.

Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions.
-(Fog Lamps):The fog lamps button is located
on the exterior lamps control. The exterior lamps
control is located on the instrument panel to the
left of the steering column.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to work.
Press the exterior lamps button to turn the fog
lamps on or off. A light will come on in the
instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps
are in use.
When the headlamps are changed to high-beam,
the fog lamps will turn off. The fog lamps come
back on again when the high-beam headlamps are
turned off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):The knob
with this symbol on it is located next to the exterior
lamps control. Push the knob in all the way until
it pops out and then turn the knob clockwise
to brighten or counterclockwise to dim the lights.
Push the knob back in when nished.
Courtesy Lamps
When a door is opened, the courtesy lamps
automatically come on. They make it easy for you
to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also
manually turn these lamps on by fully turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise.
The reading lamps, located on the headliner, can
be turned on or off independent of the automatic
courtesy lamps, when the doors are closed.
186

Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may have courtesy lamps that will
come on and stay on for a set time whenever
the unlock symbol is pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter, if the vehicle
has one.
If a door is opened, the lamps will stay on while
it is open and then turn off automatically about
25 seconds after the door is closed. If the
unlock symbol is pressed and you do not
open a door, the lamps will turn off after about
20 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps do not
turn off at the end of the delay time. Instead,
they slowly dim after the delay time until they go
out. The delay time is canceled if you turn the
ignition key to ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is
inactive, which means the courtesy lamps will
not come on unless a door is opened.
Delayed Entry Lighting
Delayed entry lighting illuminates the interior for
a period of time after all the doors have been
closed.
The ignition must be off for delayed entry lighting
to work. Immediately after all the doors have
been closed, the delayed entry lighting feature
will continue to work until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is in ON.
The doors are locked.
An illumination period of 25 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be canceled
and the interior lamps will remain on because a
door is open.
187

Delayed Exit Lighting
This feature illuminates the interior for a period of
time after the key is removed from the ignition.
The ignition must be off for delayed exit lighting to
work. When the key is removed, interior illumination
will activate and remain on until one of the following
occurs:
The ignition is in ON.
The power door locks are activated.
An illumination period of 20 seconds
has elapsed.
If during the illumination period a door is opened,
the timed illumination period will be canceled
and the interior lamps will remain on because a
door is open.
Parade Dimming
The instrument panel has an added feature called
parade mode. It automatically prohibits the
dimming of the instrument panel displays during
the daylight while the headlamps are on so
that you will still be able to see the displays.
Reading Lamps
The vehicle has reading lamps that also act as the
dome lamp. Press the button to turn them on and off.
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 or 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.
