wheel.
O: Turns off the automatic headlamps and
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). Turn the
headlamp control to
Oagain to turn the
automatic headlamps or DRL back on.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, off will only
work when the vehicle is in P (Park). AUTO :
Automatically turns on the
headlamps, parking lamps, taillamps,
instrument panel lights, roof marker lamps
(if equipped), front/rear sidemarker lamps,
and license plate lamps.
;: Turns on all lamps, except the
headlamps and fog lamps, if equipped.
For some trim levels and trucks first sold in
Canada, the headlamps may turn on with
the parking lamps.
2: Turns on the headlamps, the parking
lamps, taillamps, instrument panel lights,
roof marker lamps (if equipped), front/rear
sidemarker lamps, and license plate lamps.
#: If equipped, turns on the fog lamps.
See Fog Lamps 0148.
IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns the vehicle
high-beam headlamps on and off according
to surrounding traffic conditions.
The system turns the high-beam headlamps
on when it is dark enough and there is no
other traffic present.

Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system, press
bon the turn signal lever when it is
dark outside and the exterior lamp control is
in AUTO or
2.
Depending on the vehicle model, the
following displays when the IntelliBeam
System is enabled:
.blight on the instrument cluster
.Auto High Beam Active message displays
in the Driver Information Center (DIC)
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high beams
when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears on the
instrument cluster when the high beams
are on. There is a sensor near the top center of the
windshield that automatically controls the
system. Keep this area of the windshield
clear of debris to allow for best system
performance.
The high-beam headlamps remain on, under
the automatic control, until one of the
following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding vehicle's
taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough that
high-beam headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h
(12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is disabled by the
button on the turn signal lever. If this
happens, press
bon the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp control is in
the AUTO or
2position to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. Depending on vehicle
model, the instrument cluster light will
come on or the Auto High Beam Active
message displays on the DIC to indicate
the IntelliBeam system is reactivated. The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot detect
another vehicle's lamps because of any of
the following:
.The other vehicle’s lamps are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view,
or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle’s lamps are covered
with dirt, snow, and/or road spray.
.The other vehicle’s lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust, smoke,
fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other
airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle windshield is dirty, cracked,
or obstructed by something that blocks
the view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the front
end points upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
.Driving on winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps may
need to be disabled if any of the above
conditions exist.

Fog Lamps
If equipped, the fog lamp control is near the
exterior lamp control to the left of the
steering column.
The vehicle must be on for the fog lamps to
come on.
#:Press to turn the fog lamps on or off.
A light will come on in the instrument
cluster.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the
parking lamps automatically turn on.
When the headlamps are changed to high
beam, the fog lamps also go off. When the
high-beam headlamps are turned off, the fog
lamps will come on again. Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on with the fog lamps.
Task Lighting
If equipped, task lighting projects light from
the outside mirrors away from the vehicle.
While the vehicle is parked, press
Kto
select one of the following options:
.Left and Right Task Lights Illuminated
.Left Task Light Illuminated
.Right Task Light Illuminated
.Left and Right Task Lights Off
If the vehicle leaves a parked position, the
lights will immediately turn off. If the vehicle is off, the lights will stay on
for approximately 10 minutes.
If any Task lights are on, if the button has
not been pressed after approximately
5 seconds, pressing it again will turn off
all Task Lights.
Auxiliary Roof-Mounted Lamp

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM), which 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. The
voltmeter gauge or the voltage display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC),
if equipped, may show the voltage moving
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 are on, such as: 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.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of
the battery. It does this by balancing the
generator's output and the vehicle's
electrical needs. It can increase engine idle
speed to generate more power, whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce the power
demands of some accessories.
Normally, 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 message might be
displayed and it is recommended that the
driver reduce the electrical loads as much as
possible.
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,
if the ignition is off. The lamps will not
come back on again until one of the
following occurs:
.The ignition is turned on.
.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 or in
accessory mode.
