Lighting Features

Entry Lighting

The interior lamps turn on when pressing
on the remote key or opening any doors,
and the dome lamp control is in the door
position.
Some exterior lamps also turn on when
pressing on the remote key or opening
any doors. Low-Beam lamps will only turn
on briefly at night, or in areas with limited
lighting.
All lamps will gradually fade out after about
30 seconds.
Entry lighting can be disabled manually by
closing all doors, pressing on the remote
key, or starting the vehicle.
This feature can be changed. On the
infotainment home page, select the Settings
icon Vehicle Vehicle Locator Lights.

Exit Lighting

Some exterior lamps and interior lamps turn
on when the driver door is opened after the
vehicle is turned off.
The exterior and interior lamps remain on
for a set amount of time, then automatically
turn off.
The interior lights turn on when the vehicle
is turned off.
The exterior lamps turn off immediately by
turning the exterior lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. On the
infotainment home screen, select the
Settings icon Vehicle Exit Lighting.

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.
Lighting
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)
0 108.
