-(Fog Lamps) (If your vehicle has them):
Push the fog lamps control in to turn on the
fog lamps.
SeeFog Lamps on page 184.
Delayed Headlamps
The delayed headlamps feature provides a period
of exterior lighting as you leave the area around
your vehicle. The feature is activated when
the headlamps are on due to the automatic
headlamps control feature described previously in
this section, and when the ignition is turned off.
Your headlamps will then remain on until the
exterior lamps control is moved to the parking
lamps position or until the pre-selected delayed
headlamp lighting period has ended.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamps
switch in the parking lamps or headlamps position,
the delayed headlamps cycle will not occur.
To disable the delayed headlamps feature or
change the time of delay, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 250.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
Automatic Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel
makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system’s automatic headlamp control
will make the low-beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is in the ON position.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, only the low-beam
headlamps, at a reduced level of brightness, will
be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and
other lamps will not be on. The instrument
panel and cluster will also not be lit.
183
ProCarManuals.com

When it is dark enough outside, the low-beam
headlamps will turn off and the headlamps
and parking lamps will turn on. The other lamps
that come on with the headlamps will also
come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps
will go off and the DRL will come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when it is needed.
Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the control 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 in the ON position for the fog
lamps to come on.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the exterior lamps
button. A light will come on in the instrument
panel cluster. Press the exterior lamps button
again to turn the fog lamps off.When the headlamps are changed to high-beam,
the fog lamps also go 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 extends 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 above
the rearview mirror, can be turned on or off
independent of the automatic courtesy lamps,
when the doors are closed.

ProCarManuals.com

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 a 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.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.
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 Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Service
Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 239.

6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
automatically selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,
a combination of those two modes is selected.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. The indicator light
on the button turns on when this mode is selected.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce the outside air
and odors entering the vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside the vehicle more
quickly once the temperature inside the vehicle
is less than the outside temperature.The recirculation mode can be turned off in vent
and bi-level modes by pressing the button
again. Recirculation mode automatically turns off
when the engine is turned off and must be
re-selected when the engine is turned on again.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
ashes three times and turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes on when this
mode is activated unless the outside air
temperature is less than 40°F (4°C). While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog,
select either the defog or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button on the
left knob to turn the air conditioning system on
or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator
light comes on to show that the air conditioning
has been activated. The air conditioning
compressor does not operate when outside
temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C). The indicator
light ashes three times and turns off when
outside conditions affect air conditioning operation.
This is normal.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select the vent mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has
escaped.
7. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for better cooling.This helps to reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the
inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the
recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you might notice a small amount
of water dripping underneath the front center
and right rear of the vehicle while idling or after
turning off the engine. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the
cool window glass. This can be minimized if the
climate control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from the
windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise to select
the defog or defrost mode.

automatic control.
H(Vent):This setting delivers air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets. A
little air is directed towards the windshield and
side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air
to the oor outlets, with some of the air directed to
the windshield, side window outlets, and second
row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
automatically selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected in oor mode.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later
in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on. When the button is
pressed, an indicator light comes on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the

The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
ashes three times and turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes on when this
mode is activated. While in recirculation mode
the windows may fog when the weather is cold and
damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog
or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
Press the button again to turn off the recirculation
mode. It automatically turns off when the engine
is turned off and must be re-selected when
the engine is turned on again.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and
off. When air conditioning is selected, an indicator
light comes on to let you know that the air
conditioning has been activated.The air conditioning compressor does not work
when outside temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C).
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool makes the air conditioning indicator
ash three times and turn off to let you know the
air conditioning mode is not available. If the
air conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool
for air conditioning to be effective, the air
conditioning light turns off to show that the air
conditioning mode has been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also
helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle
while idling or after turning off the engine. This
is normal.
