Lighting Features

Entry Lighting

When it is dark enough outside or in
areas of limited lighting, the interior
lamps, headlamps, parking lamps,
and back-up lamps come on when
is pressed on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system
transmitter. The lamps inside the
vehicle come on when any door is
opened. They stay on for about
20 seconds. When all of the doors
have been closed or the ignition is
turned to ON/RUN, they gradually
fade out.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Locator Lights under
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-44.

Exit Lighting

The headlamps, taillamps, parking
lamps, back-up lamps, outside
mirror lamps, and license plate
lamps come on at night, or in areas
with limited lighting, when the key is
removed from the ignition. The
dome lamp comes on after the
ignition is changed to the OFF
position. The exterior lamps and
dome lamp remain on for a set
amount of time, then automatically
turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-44.

Theater Dimming

This feature allows for a three to five
second fade out of the courtesy
lamps instead of having them turn
off immediately.
Battery Load
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 bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high,
the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the vehicle
has a voltmeter gauge 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
