compass. Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item. The compass can be placed in calibration mode manually by pressing and holding O or AUTO 3 , depending on the vehicle, until a C is shown in the compass display. The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. 3-36 Compass Variance The compass is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance needs to be changed to the appropriate zone. To adjust for compass variance: 1. Find the current location and variance zone number on the following zone map. 3. Once the zone number displays, press O or AUTO 3 repeatedly until the correct zone number displays. Stop pressing the button and the mirror will return to normal operation. If C appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See “Compass Calibration” listed previously. Outside Power Foldaway Mirrors Controls for the outside power mirrors are located on the driver door armrest. 2. Press and hold O or AUTO 3 until a zone number displays. Press the selector switch (A) or (B) to choose either the left or right outside mirror. Then press the control pad to move the mirror to the desired direction. 3-37 Mirror Adjustment 1. Press (C) to unfold the mirrors out to the driving position. 2. Press (D) to fold the mirrors toward the vehicle. Resetting the Power Foldaway Mirrors Reset the power foldaway mirrors if: • The mirrors are accidentally obstructed while folding. • They are accidentally manually folded/unfolded. • The mirrors do not stay in the unfolded position. • The mirrors vibrate at normal driving speeds. Fold and unfold the mirrors one time using the mirror controls to reset them to their normal position. A noise may be heard during the resetting of the power foldaway mirrors. This sound is normal after a manual folding operation. Turn Signal Indicator (If Equipped) The vehicle may have a turn signal indicator lamp that is built into the mirror. The turn signal lamp ﬂashes with the use of the vehicle’s turn signal and hazard ﬂashers. Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror If the vehicle has this feature, the driver side mirror adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror. Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) If the vehicle has the Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system, see Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on page 3-43 for more information. 3-38 Park Tilt Mirrors If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it is capable of performing the park tilt mirror feature. This feature allows the driver and passenger side mirror to tilt to a factory programmed position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse) and either a ﬁve-second delay has occurred, or the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, the driver and passenger side mirror will return to its original position. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4-80 for more information. Outside Convex Mirror { WARNING: A convex mirror can make things, like other vehicles, look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver seat. Outside Heated Mirrors = (Rear Window Defogger): Press to heat the mirrors. See “Rear Window Defogger” under Dual Climate Control System on page 4-36 for more information. 3-39 { WARNING: The Ultrasonic Front and Rear Park Assist (UFRPA) system does not replace driver vision. It cannot detect: • objects that are below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or if they are too close or far from the vehicle • children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. If you do not use proper care before moving forward and while backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with UFRPA, always check in front of the vehicle before moving forward and behind the vehicle before backing up. While moving forward and backing, be sure to look for objects and check the vehicle’s mirrors. Object Detection Systems Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) For vehicles with the Ultrasonic Front and Rear Parking Assist (UFRPA) system, it operates at speeds less than 8 km/h (5mph), and assists the driver with parking and avoiding objects. It can determine how close objects are to the front bumper, up to 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of the vehicle and the rear bumper, up to 2.5 m (8 ft.) behind the vehicle. The distance sensors are located on the front and rear bumper. 3-40 How the System Works UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved out of P (Park). The system does not work at a forward or reverse speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in.) off the ground and below hood or trunk level. Objects must also be within 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of the vehicle and 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the rear bumper. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather. When backing up, if objects are detected at the same time near both the front and rear bumpers, both color-coded light displays will notify you of objects close to each bumper. If there are objects detected near both bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notify that objects are close to the rear bumper. However, if while the vehicle is backing up and an object comes within 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the front bumper, and at the same time there is another object further than 0.3 m (1 ft.) from the rear bumper, then the beeps will only be sounded to notify you of the closer object that is near the front bumper. The system can be disabled using the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Parking Assist” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 4-62 for more information. 3-41 Front Parking Assist Display Rear Parking Assist Display The front display is located on top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. The front display will have either three or six lights to provide distance and system information. With Adaptive Cruise control (ACC), it will have three lights along with the ACC lights. Without ACC, it will have six lights. High-toned beeps from the front speakers are for objects detected near the front bumper. The rear display is located near the rear window and can be seen by looking over your right shoulder. The rear display uses three color-coded lights to provide distance and system information. Low-toned beeps from the rear speakers are for the rear bumper. Moving Forward When the vehicle is started, the front display will brieﬂy illuminate to let you know the system is working. The following describes what will occur with the front display as you get closer to a object detected in the front of the vehicle: Description amber/amber lights ACC — one amber light four amber lights ACC — two amber lights four amber/ two red lights ACC — two amber lights/one red light four amber/ two red lights ﬂashing and beep for ﬁve seconds ACC — two amber lights/one red light ﬂashing and beep for ﬁve seconds Metric 1.2 m 1.0 m 0.6 m English 4 ft 40 in 23 in 0.3 m 1 ft Backing Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved into R (Reverse). The rear display will then brieﬂy illuminate to let you know the system is working. The following describes what will occur with the rear display as you get closer to an object detected in the rear of your vehicle: Description amber light amber/amber lights amber/amber/red lights and continuous beeping for ﬁve seconds amber/amber/red lights ﬂashing and continuous beeping for ﬁve seconds Metric 2.5 m 1.0 m 0.6 m English 8 ft. 40 in. 23 in. 0.3 m 1 ft. The system can be disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See “Parking Assist” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 4-62 for more information. 3-42 When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly If the URPA system will not activate due to a temporary condition, the message PARK ASSIST OFF will be displayed on the DIC and a red light will be shown on the rear URPA display when the shift lever is moved into R (Reverse). This occurs under the following conditions: • The driver disables the system. • The ultrasonic sensors are not clean. Keep the vehicle’s rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 6-95. • A trailer was attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle or an object was hanging out of the trunk during the last drive cycle, the red light may illuminate in the rear display. Once the attached object is removed, URPA will return to normal operation. • A tow bar is attached to the vehicle. • The vehicle’s bumper is damaged. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer to repair the system. • Other conditions may affect system performance, such as vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck. If the system is still disabled after driving forward at least 25 km/h (15 mph), take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer. Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) The vehicle may have a Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system. Read this entire section before using the system. { WARNING: SBZA is only a lane changing aid and does not replace driver vision. SBZA does not detect: • Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly approaching. • Pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in damage to the vehicle, injury, or death. Always check the outside and rearview mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the turn signal before changing lanes. When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone, amber SBZA displays will light up in the side mirrors. This indicates that it may be unsafe to change lanes. Before making a lane change, always check the SBZA display, check the outside and rearview mirrors, look over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and use the turn signal. 3-43 How the System Works Left Side Mirror Display Right Side Mirror Display When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will brieﬂy come on to indicate that the system is operating. While driving forward, the left or right side mirror SBZA display will light up if a vehicle is detected in that blind zone. If you activate a turn signal and a vehicle has been detected on the same side, the SBZA display will ﬂash to give you extra warning not to change lanes. SBZA displays do not come on while the vehicle is approaching or passing other vehicles. At speeds greater then 20 mph (32 km/h), SBZA displays may come on when a vehicle you have passed remains in or drops back into the detection zone. SBZA can be disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4-61 for more information. If the SBZA is disabled by the driver, the SBZA mirror displays will not light up during normal driving. SBZA Detection Zones The SBZA sensor covers a zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, 3.5 m (11 ft). This zone starts at each side mirror and goes back approximately 5 m (16 ft). The height of the zone is approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2.0 m (6 ft) off the ground. The SBZA detection zones do not change if the vehicle is towing a trailer. So be extra careful when changing lanes while towing a trailer. 3-44 When the System Does Not Seem To Work Properly Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. The system does not need to be serviced due to an occasional missed alert. The number of missed alerts will increase with increased rainfall or road spray. If the SBZA displays do not light up when the system is on and vehicles are in the blind zone, the system may need service. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer. SBZA is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may occasionally light up due to guard rails, signs, trees, shrubs, and other stationary objects. This is normal system operation, the vehicle does not need service. SBZA does not operate when the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy rainstorms. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 6-95. If the DIC still displays the SIDE BLIND ZONE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE message after cleaning the bumper, see your dealer/retailer. The SBZA displays may remain on if a trailer is attached to the vehicle, or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. When SBZA is disabled for any reason other than the driver turning it off, the driver will not be able to turn SBZA back on using the DIC. The SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT ON option will not be selectable if the conditions for normal system operation are not met. Until normal operating conditions for SBZA are met, you should not rely upon SBZA while driving. SBZA Error Messages The following messages may appear in the DIC: SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM OFF: This message indicates that the driver has turned the system off. SIDE BLIND ZONE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE: This message indicates that the SBZA system is disabled because the sensor is blocked and cannot detect vehicles in the blind zone. The sensor may be blocked by mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, or even heavy rainstorms. This message may also activate during heavy rain or due to road spray. The vehicle does not need service. For cleaning, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 6-95. SERVICE SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT SYSTEM: If this message appears, both SBZA displays will remain on indicating there is a problem with the SBZA system. If these displays remain on after continued driving, the system needs service. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer. 3-45 { WARNING: The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system does not steer the vehicle and is only an aid to help you stay in your driving lane. The LDW system may not: • Provide you with enough time to avoid a lane change collision. • Be loud enough for you to hear the warning beeps. edges. • Work properly under bad weather conditions or if the windshield is not kept clean. • Detect lane markings and will not detect road • Warn you that your vehicle is crossing a lane marking if the system does not detect the lane marking. WARNING: (Continued) FCC Information See Radio Frequency Statement on page 8-20 for FCC information. Frequency of operation: 24.05GHz – 24.25GHz Field Strength: Not greater than 2.5V/m peak (0.25V/m average) at a distance of 3 m. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modiﬁcations to this equipment. Such modiﬁcations could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) The vehicle may have a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system. Read this entire section before using the system. 3-46 WARNING: (Continued) LDW will indicate the system is working whenever it detects either the left or right lane marking. So if you depart on the side of the lane that LDW is not detecting, LDW will not warn you. If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with LDW, always keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position within the lane. Always keep the windshield clean and do not use LDW in bad weather conditions. When the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking, the LDW symbol will ﬂash and you will hear three beeps. LDW will not warn you if the turn signal is on or if you make a sharp maneuver. Before making a lane change, check the vehicle’s mirrors, glance over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and start the turn signal before changing lanes. How the System Works LDW uses a camera located between the inside rearview mirror and the windshield to detect the lane markings. @ (Lane Departure Warning): To turn LDW on and off, press the LDW control, located by the exterior headlamp control. An indicator on the control will light to indicate that LDW is on. When the vehicle is started, the LDW symbol, located in the instrument panel cluster, will brieﬂy come on to indicate that the light is operational. LDW only operates at speeds of 35 mph (56 km) or greater. If LDW is turned on when traveling at these speeds, the LDW symbol will appear green if the system detects a left or right lane marking. 3-47 LDW Error Message SERVICE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM: This message may appear in the DIC to indicate that LDW is not working properly. If this message remains on after continued driving, the system needs service. Take your vehicle to your dealer/retailer. LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE: This message may appear in the DIC if LDW does not activate due to a temporary condition. Universal Home Remote System See Radio Frequency Statement on page 8-20 for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and RSS-210/211 of Industry and Science Canada. This symbol will change to amber and ﬂash and three beeps will sound if you cross a detected lane marking without using the turn signal. If the LDW symbol does not appear, LDW is not currently operating and will not warn you. To change the volume of the warning chime, see Chime Volume under DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4-80 for more information. When the System Does Not Seem To Work Properly The LDW symbol will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 6-95. LDW warnings may occasionally occur due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation, the vehicle does not need service. 3-48 Universal Home Remote System Operation (With Three Round LED) This vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below. This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices. Do not use this system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person assist with programming the transmitter. Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. Only the original remote control transmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. The programmed buttons should be erased when the vehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. Park the vehicle outside of the garage when programming a garage door. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that is being programmed. Programming Universal Home Remote — Rolling Code For questions or help programming the Universal Home Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to learcar2u.com. Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are Rolling Code units. 3-49 Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and the procedure will have to be repeated. To program up to three devices: 1. From inside the vehicle, press the two outside buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them. 3-50 2. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. It can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit and may be a colored button. Press this button. After pressing this button, complete the following steps in less than 30 seconds. 3. Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and hold the Universal Home Remote button that will be used to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. This button may need to be held for up to 20 seconds. 4. Immediately, within one second, release the button To program up to three devices: when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 5. Press and release the same button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another Rolling Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1 through 5, choosing a different function button in Step 3 than what was used for the garage door opener. If these instructions do not work, the garage door opener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow the Programming instructions that follow for a Fixed Code garage door opener. Programming Universal Home Remote — Fixed Code For questions or help programming the Universal Home Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to learcar2u.com. Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are Fixed Code units. Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and the procedure will have to be repeated. 1. To verify that the garage door opener is a Fixed Code unit, remove the battery cover on the hand held transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener motor. If there are a row of dip switches similar to the graphic above, the garage door opener is a Fixed Code unit. If you do not see a row of dip switches, return to the previous section for Programming Universal Home Remote – Rolling Code. Your hand held transmitter can have between eight to 12 dip switches depending on the brand of transmitter. 3-51 The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit) could also have a row of dip switches that can be used when programming the Universal Home Remote. If the total number of switches on the motor head and hand held transmitter are different, or if the dip switch settings are different, use the dip switch settings on the motor head unit to program the Universal Home Remote. The motor head dip switch settings can also be used when the original hand held transmitter is not available. Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions The panel of switches might not appear exactly as they do in the examples above, but they should be similar. The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter could be labeled, as follows: • A switch in the up position could be labeled as “Up,” “+,” or “On.” • A switch in the down position could be labeled as “Down,” “−,” or “Off.” • A switch in the middle position could be labeled as “Middle,” “0,” or “Neutral.” Example of Eight Dip Switches with Two Positions 3-52 2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left to right as follows: • When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.” • When a switch is in the down position, write “Right.” • If a switch is set between the up and down position, write “Middle.” The switch settings written down in Step 2 now become the button strokes to be entered into the Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure to enter the switch settings written down in Step 2, in order from left to right, into the Universal Home Remote, when completing Step 4. 3. From inside your vehicle, ﬁrst ﬁrmly press all three buttons at the same time for about three seconds. Release the buttons to put the Universal Home Remote into programming mode. 4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter each switch setting from Step 2 into your vehicle’s Universal Home Remote. You will have two and one-half minutes to complete Step 4. Now press one button on the Universal Home Remote for each switch setting as follows: • If you wrote “Left,” press the left button in the vehicle. • If you wrote “Right,” press the right button in the vehicle. • If you wrote “Middle,” press the middle button in the vehicle. 3-53 5. After entering all of the switch positions, again, ﬁrmly press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on. 6. Press and hold the button that will be used to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light above the selected button should slowly blink. This button may need to be held for up to 55 seconds. 7. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 8. Press and release the same button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another Fixed Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosing a different button in Step 6 than what was used for the garage door opener. Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Reprogramming Universal Home Remote Buttons Any of the three buttons can be reprogrammed by repeating the instructions. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons The programmed buttons should be erased when the vehicle is sold or the lease ends. To erase either Rolling Code or Fixed Code on the Universal Home Remote device: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same time for approximately 20 seconds, until the indicator lights, located directly above the buttons, begin to blink rapidly. 2. Once the indicator lights begin to blink, release both buttons. The codes from all buttons will be erased.

Press to turn the heated steering wheel on or off. A light on the button displays while the feature is turned on. Heating will begin in about three minutes. Press the control up or down to tilt the steering wheel up or down. Press the control forward or rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the front or rear of the vehicle. To set the memory position, see DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4-80 and Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-6. 4-4 Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever Turn and Lane-Change Signals The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: G : Turn and Lane-Change Signals 2 3: Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer N : Windshield Wipers L : Windshield Washer Flash-To-Pass Feature. Information for these features is on the pages following. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster ﬂashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. For vehicles with the side blind zone alert system, an arrow in the outside mirror ﬂashes when the turn signal is used. See Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on page 3-43 for more information. Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn. Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ﬂash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete. If the lever is brieﬂy pressed and released, the turn signal will ﬂash three times. The lever returns to its starting position when it is released. If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrow ﬂashes rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may be burned out. Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out, check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 6-101. 4-5 Turn Signal On Chime If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime sounds and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile as a reminder to turn it off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer Push forward to change the headlamps from low beam to high. Pull the lever back and then release it to change from high beam to low. This light on the instrument panel cluster will be on, indicating high-beam usage. Forward Collision Alert (FCA) System If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read this entire section before using it. The system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Changes or modiﬁcations to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. 4-6 The FCA control is located on the steering wheel. To enable or disable FCA, press the Adaptive Cruise Control button. See Adaptive Cruise Control on page 4-15. The Forward Collision Alert (FCA) system provides an audible and visual alert if you approach a vehicle too quickly that is directly ahead. FCA also provides a visual alert with no audible alert if you are following another vehicle much too closely. The FCA alert symbol is located on top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. FCA uses the Adaptive Cruise Control radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in your path, within a distance of 328 ft (100 m) and operates at speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h). { WARNING: FCA is only a warning system and does not apply the brakes. When you are approaching a vehicle or object too rapidly or when you are following a vehicle too closely that is ahead of you, FCA may not provide you with enough time to avoid a collision. FCA is not designed to warn the driver of pedestrians or animals. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes. For more information, see Defensive Driving on page 5-2. 4-7 FCA is enabled when the green light on the button is lit. FCA is disabled when the indicator light is amber. Alerting the Driver { WARNING: The FCA alert symbol will ﬂash and a warning beep will sound when driver action may be required. • On winding roads, FCA may not detect a vehicle ahead. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rely on FCA on winding roads. • When weather limits visibility, such as in fog, rain, or snow, FCA performance is limited. There may not be enough warning distance to the vehicle in front of you. Do not rely on FCA in low visibility conditions. { WARNING: When FCA is enabled, the Adaptive Cruise Control switch is on. If you press another Adaptive Cruise Control button, you might go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Be careful not to press adaptive cruise buttons unless you want to use cruise control. 4-8 The alert symbol will ﬂash when: • Your vehicle is approaching another vehicle too quickly. • Your vehicle is following a vehicle ahead of you much too closely. See Defensive Driving on page 5-2 for more information. Detecting the Vehicle Ahead The vehicle ahead symbol, located next to the FCA symbol, will only appear when a vehicle ahead of you is detected in your path. If this symbol does not appear, or disappears brieﬂy, FCA will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead. The symbol may disappear on curves, highway exit ramps, or hills. Also, when another vehicle enters the same lane as you, the FCA system will not detect the vehicle until it is completely in your driving lane. { WARNING: When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a vehicle ahead. FCA may not help you avoid a collision under these conditions. Do not use FCA when the radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning the System” under Adaptive Cruise Control on page 4-15. { WARNING: FCA may not detect and warn soon enough to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. You could crash into an object ahead of you. Do not rely on FCA when approaching stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects. Unnecessary Alerts FCA may occasionally provide alerts that you consider unnecessary. It could respond to a turning vehicle ahead of you, guard rails, signs, and other stationary objects. This is normal operation, your vehicle does not need service. Other Messages There are three messages that may appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). They are CLEAN RADAR, RADAR CRUISE NOT READY and SERVICE RADAR CRUISE. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Cleaning the System The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine and clean the lens. See “Cleaning the System” under Adaptive Cruise Control on page 4-15. 4-9 Flash-to-Pass This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. The ﬂash-to-pass feature will only work with the headlamps on. It does not work with Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to use. If the headlamps are on low beam, pulling the turn signal towards you will ﬂash the high beams. Windshield Wipers The windshield wiper lever is located on the left side of the steering column. Turn the band with the wiper symbol on it to control the windshield wipers. 8 (Mist): For a single wiping cycle, hold it on mist until the wipers start, then release. The wipers stop after one wipe. Several wipes, hold the band longer. 6 (Delay): Use to set the delay time between wipe cycles. The wiper speed can be set for a long or short delay between wipes. The closer the band is set to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay. 6 (Low Speed): Slow wipes. 1 (High Speed): Fast wipes. 9 (Off): Turns the wipers off. Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. The vehicle has wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have completed eight wipe cycles within four minutes, the headlamps automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps on page 4-29 for more information. Rainsense™ II Wipers If the vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is mounted on the interior of the windshield beside the rearview mirror and is used to automatically operate the wipers. This system operates by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on the driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently. 4-10 Windshield Washer { WARNING: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer ﬂuid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. J (Washer Fluid): Press and release this paddle, located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever, to spray washer ﬂuid on the windshield. The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or return to the preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and hold the paddle. The system operates in the delay mode. If the system is left on for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the Rainsense™ system is active. The Rainsense™ system is activated by turning the wiper control band to one of the ﬁve sensitivity levels within the delay area. The position closest to off is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the wiper band away from you to higher sensitivity levels increases the sensitivity of the system and frequency of wipes. The highest sensitivity setting, level ﬁve is closest to low. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased. Notice: Going through an automatic car wash with the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers off when going through an automatic car wash. The MIST and wash cycle operates as normal and are not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The system can be overridden at any time by manually changing the wiper control to low or high speed. Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on the exterior glass surface directly in front of the rain sensor. 4-11 Cruise Control With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise control light appears in the instrument panel cluster when the cruise control is on. When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. { WARNING: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use the cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Traction Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control automatically turns off. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5-6. When road conditions let you safely use it again, the cruise control can be turned back on. Setting Cruise Control { WARNING: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 4-12 The cruise control buttons are located on left side of the steering wheel. I (On): Turns on the cruise control system. + RES (Resume/Accelerate): Press to make the vehicle accelerate or resume to a previously set speed. SET– (Set): Press to set the speed. [ (Cancel): Press to cancel cruise control. Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set, or if the master cylinder brake ﬂuid level is low. If the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. The cruise light on the instrument panel cluster comes on after the cruise control has been set to the desired speed. 1. Press I . 2. Get up to the desired speed. 3. Press the SET– button located on the steering wheel and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied. This shuts off the cruise control. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, press the +RES (resume/accelerate) button to return to the desired preset speed. The cruise light displays again. The vehicle returns to and stays at the preset speed. If you press and hold the +RES button, the vehicle speed increases until the button is released or the brake is applied. Do not hold in the +RES button, if you do not want the vehicle speed to increase. 4-13 Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the SET– button, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle now cruises at the higher speed. • Press the +RES button. Hold it there until the desired speed is reached, and then release the button. To increase the vehicle speed in very small amounts, brieﬂy press the +RES button and then release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle accelerates approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph). The accelerate feature only works after the cruise control speed is set by pressing the SET– button. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce the vehicle speed while using cruise control: • Press the SET– button until the lower speed desired is reached, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET– button brieﬂy. Each time this is done, the vehicle slows down approximately 1.6 km/h (1 mph). Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle slows down to the previous cruise control speed. 4-14 Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control works on hills depends upon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear ends cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you might not want to attempt to use the cruise control feature. Ending Cruise Control To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brake pedal, or press the cancel button on the steering wheel. Erasing Speed Memory The cruise control set speed memory is erased when the cruise control or the ignition is turned off. Adaptive Cruise Control For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entire section before using it. The system operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Changes or modiﬁcations to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement to traditional cruise control. It allows you to keep cruise control engaged in moderate traffic conditions without having to constantly reset your cruise control. ACC uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a distance of 100 m (330 ft), and operates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). When it is engaged by the driver, the system can apply limited braking or acceleration of the vehicle automatically to maintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle ahead. Braking is limited to 2.45 m/sec2 (0.25 g’s) of deceleration, which is comparable to moderate 4-15 application of the vehicle’s brakes. To disengage ACC, apply the brake. If no vehicle is in your path, the vehicle will react like traditional cruise control. { WARNING: { WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard braking or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. It will not respond to stopped vehicles, pedestrians or animals. When you are approaching a vehicle or object, Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes. For more information, see Defensive Driving on page 5-2. 4-16 • On winding roads, Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect a vehicle ahead. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on winding roads. • Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a crash when you are driving in conditions where vehicles may suddenly slow or stop ahead of you, enter your lane, or cross your vehicle’s path. If you are driving in these conditions, do not use Adaptive Cruise Control. The warning beep and alert symbol may indicate that you are driving in conditions where Adaptive Cruise Control should not be used. See “Alerting the Driver” in this section. • On slippery roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. WARNING: (Continued) WARNING: (Continued) • When weather limits visibility, such as when in fog, rain, or snow conditions, Adaptive Cruise Control performance is limited. There may not be enough distance to adapt to the changing traffic conditions. Do not use cruise control when visibility is low. The ACCs are located on the steering wheel. The cruise control buttons are located on left side of the steering wheel. ] (On): Press to turn the system on. + Res (Resume/Accelerate): Press to make the vehicle resume to a previously set speed or to increase the set speed when ACC is already active. Set–: Press to set the speed or to decrease the set speed when ACC is already active. [ (Cancel): Press to cancel ACC. +GAP (Increase Following Distance): Press to increase the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles. −GAP (Decrease Following Distance): Press to decrease the distance between your vehicle and other vehicles. ACC will not work if the master cylinder brake ﬂuid level is low. 4-17 Engaging ACC With the Set Button { WARNING: If you leave your Adaptive Cruise Control switch on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the Adaptive Cruise Control switch off until you want to use cruise control. The set speed is selected by the driver. This is the speed your vehicle will travel if there is no vehicle detected in its path. To set ACC, do the following: 1. Press the ] button. 2. Get up to the speed desired. 3. Press in the SET– button and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Once ACC is set, it may immediately apply the brakes if it detects a vehicle ahead is too close or moving slower than your vehicle. 4-18 The on symbol is located on the display at the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. When the on symbol is lit on the display, it indicates that ACC is active. A message on the DIC will also display when ACC is set. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Keep in mind speed limits, surrounding traffic speeds, and weather conditions when adjusting your set speed. If the vehicle is in ACC when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the ACC will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5-6 and StabiliTrak® System on page 5-5. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, the ACC can be turned back on. Increasing Set Speed While Using ACC There are two ways to increase the set speed: • Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed. Press the SET– button and then release the button and the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed. • Press the +RES button. Hold it there until the desired set speed is displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC), then release the switch. To increase the set speed in very small amounts, move the switch brieﬂy to +RES. Each time this is done, the set speed increases by 1 km/h (1 mph). Your vehicle will not reach the set speed until the system determines there is not a vehicle in front of you. At that point, your vehicle speed will increase to the set speed. Decreasing Set Speed While Using ACC Press the SET– button until you reach the lower speed desired, then release it. To slow down in very small amounts, brieﬂy press the SET– button. Each time this is done, the set speed decreases by 1 km/h (1 mph) slower. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose the ACC is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied. This will turn off the ACC. But it does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle speed reaches about 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, press the +RES button. ACC will be engaged with the previously chosen set speed. Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP) When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it will adjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain the follow distance (gap) you select. Use the plus and minus buttons on the steering wheel to adjust the follow distance. Press the plus button to increase the distance or the minus button to decrease the distance. The ﬁrst button press shows the current follow distance setting on the DIC. The current follow distance setting will be maintained until it is changed. There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow distance selection ranges from near to far (one second to two seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a selected follow distance will vary based on vehicle speed. The faster the vehicle speed the further back your vehicle will follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions when selecting the follow distance. The range of selectable distances may not be appropriate for all drivers and driving conditions. If you prefer to travel at a follow distance farther than ACC allows, disengage the system and drive manually. 4-19 Alerting the Driver The ACC alert symbol is located on the display at the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. The alert symbol ﬂashes and a warning beep sounds when driver action may be required. If ACC is engaged, the alert symbol will ﬂash when: • ACC cannot apply sufficient braking because you are approaching a vehicle too rapidly. • The vehicle speed drops below about 32 km/h (20 mph). • A temporary condition prohibits ACC from operating. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67 for more information. • A malfunction is detected in the system. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67 for more information. See Defensive Driving on page 5-2. 4-20 { WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control has only limited braking ability to slow your vehicle. In some cases, Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes yourself. See Defensive Driving on page 5-2. Approaching and Following a Vehicle The vehicle ahead symbol is located on the top of the instrument panel to the right of the driver. The vehicle ahead symbol only appears when a vehicle is detected in your path. If this symbol does not appear, or disappears brieﬂy, ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead. Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects { WARNING: When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a vehicle ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See “Cleaning the System” later in this section. ACC automatically slows your vehicle down when approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts your vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front at the selected follow distance. Your vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front of you, but will not exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking, if necessary. When braking is active, your brake lights will come on. Braking may feel or sound different than if you were applying the brakes yourself. This is normal. { WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. You could crash into an object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when approaching stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects. { WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that suddenly appears after the lead vehicle changes lanes. Your complete attention is always required while driving and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes. 4-21 Curves in the Road { WARNING: Due to Adaptive Cruise Control limitations in curves, it may respond to a vehicle in another lane, or may not have time to react to a vehicle in your lane. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you, or lose control of your vehicle. Give extra attention in curves and be ready to use the brakes if necessary. Select an appropriate speed while driving in curves. ACC may operate differently in a sharp curve. It may reduce your vehicle speed if the curve is too sharp. Low-Speed Deactivation If your vehicle speed falls below 32 km/h (20 mph) while following a vehicle ahead, ACC will begin to disengage. The Driver Alert symbol will ﬂash and the warning beep will sound. The driver must take action since ACC will not slow the vehicle to a stop. Passing a Vehicle/ACC Override To increase speed to pass a vehicle, use the accelerator pedal. While you are doing this, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. A message will appear on the DIC. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Once you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, ACC will return to normal operation and be able to apply the brakes, if needed. { WARNING: If you rest your foot on the accelerator pedal, the system will not automatically apply the brakes. You could crash into a vehicle ahead of you. Do not rest your foot on the accelerator pedal when using Adaptive Cruise Control. 4-22 When following a vehicle and entering a curve, ACC could lose track of the vehicle in your lane and accelerate your vehicle. When this happens the Vehicle Ahead symbol will not appear. ACC may detect a vehicle that is not in your lane and apply the brakes. ACC may, occasionally, provide a driver alert and/or braking that you consider unnecessary. It could respond to signs, guardrails, and other stationary objects when entering or exiting a curve. This is normal operation. Your vehicle does not need service. 4-23 Highway Exit Ramps { WARNING: Adaptive Cruise Control may lose track of the vehicle ahead and accelerate up to your set speed while entering or on highway exit ramps. You could be startled by this acceleration and even lose control of the vehicle. Disengage Adaptive Cruise Control before entering a highway exit ramp. Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control while entering or on exit ramps. Other Vehicle Lane Changes If another vehicle enters the same lane as you, ACC will not detect the vehicle until it is completely in the lane. Be ready to take action and apply the brakes yourself. 4-24 Using ACC on Hills and When Towing a Trailer How well ACC will work on hills and when towing a trailer depends on your vehicle’s speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the steepness of the hills. It may not detect a vehicle in your lane while driving on hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, especially when towing a trailer, you may want to brake to keep your speed down. Applying the brake disengages the system. You may choose not to use ACC on steep hills, especially when towing a trailer. Disengaging ACC To turn off the system, apply the brake pedal, press the cancel button, or press the ACC button. Erasing Set Speed Memory Press the ACC button or turn the ignition off. Other Messages There are three additional messages that may appear on the DIC. They are SERVICE RADAR CRUISE, RADAR CRUISE NOT READY and CLEAN RADAR. These messages will appear to indicate a problem with the ACC. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67 for more information. Cleaning the System The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. If so, you may need to turn off the engine and clean the lens. Remember, do not use ACC in icy conditions, or when visibility is low, such as in fog, rain or snow. The emblem/lens is located in the center of the grille. To clean the emblem/lens, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. After cleaning the emblem/lens, try to engage the ACC. If you are unable to do so, see your dealer/retailer. Exterior Lamps The exterior lamps control is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. It controls the following systems: • Headlamps • Taillamps • Parking Lamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights • Fog Lamps The exterior lamps control has four positions: O (Off): Turns off the exterior lamps except for Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). 4-25 AUTO (Automatic): Automatically turns on the headlamps at normal brightness, together with the following: • Parking Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights • IntelliBeam™ ; (Parking Lamps): Turns on the parking lamps together with the following: • Instrument Panel Lights • License Plate Lamps • Taillamps • Side Marker Lamps The parking brake indicator light comes on and stays on while the parking lamps are on with the engine off and the ignition in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN. 2 (Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps together with the previously listed lamps.

See Fog Lamps on page 4-30. IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam Headlamp Control System For vehicles with this feature, be sure to read this entire section before using it. IntelliBeam is an enhancement to the vehicle’s headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on the rearview mirror, this system turns the vehicle’s high-beam headlamps on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. The IntelliBeam system turns the high-beam headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other traffic present, and the IntelliBeam system is enabled. Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™ Press and release the IntelliBeam button on the inside rear view mirror. The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror turns on to indicate the system is on. Once the system has been turned on, it remains on each time the vehicle is started, but the IntelliBeam system must be enabled. To enable the IntelliBeam system, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light appears on the instrument panel cluster when the high-beams are on. See Highbeam On Light on page 4-61. 4-26 Driving with IntelliBeam™ IntelliBeam only activates the high-beams when driving over 20 mph (32 km/h). The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the automatic control of IntelliBeam, until any of the following situations occur: • 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’s speed drops below 15 mph (24 km/h). • The headlamp stalk is moved forward to the high-beam position or the ﬂash-to-pass feature is used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 4-6 and Flash-to-Pass on page 4-10. When either of these conditions occur, the IntelliBeam feature is disabled and the IntelliBeam light in the mirror turns off until the high-beam stalk is returned to the neutral position. • If IntelliBeam was using low-beams prior to this action, the IntelliBeam feature is temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned to the neutral position. • The exterior lamp control is turned to any setting except AUTO. When this occurs, IntelliBeam is disabled until the control is turned back to the AUTO position. • The IntelliBeam system is turned off at the inside rearview mirror. IntelliBeam might not turn off the high-beams if the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps because of any of the following: • The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing, damaged, obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected. • The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with dirt, snow, and/or road spray. • The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other airborne obstructions. • Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked, or obstructed by something that blocks the view of the IntelliBeam light sensor. • Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice, dirt, haze, or other obstructions. 4-27 • Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end of the vehicle points upward, causing the IntelliBeam sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and taillamps. • You are driving on winding or hilly roads. You might need to manually disable or cancel the high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist. Disabling and Resetting IntelliBeam™ at the Rearview Mirror IntelliBeam can be disabled by using the controls on the inside rearview mirror. AUTO 3 (On/Off): Press this button on the inside rearview mirror to disable the system. The IntelliBeam indicator turns off and does not come back on until the IntelliBeam button is pressed again. When IntelliBeam has turned on the high-beams, pull or push the high-beam stalk. This will disable IntelliBeam. The IntelliBeam indicator on the mirror turns off. To turn IntelliBeam back on, press the IntelliBeam button on the mirror. 4-28 A different sensitivity setting is available for dealer/retailer diagnostics. This is done by pushing and holding this button for 20 seconds until the IntelliBeam indicator light ﬂashes three times. If you accidentally activate this, the vehicle’ s setting automatically is reset when the ignition is turned off and then on again. Cleaning the IntelliBeam™ Light Sensor The light sensor is located on the inside of the vehicle in front of the inside rearview mirror. Clean the light sensor window, periodically, using glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the sensor window. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the surface of the sensor window. Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers are turned on and have completed eight wipe cycles within four minutes. When the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps also turn off if the windshield wipers are turned off. Headlamps on Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. The DRL system makes the turn signal lamps come on when the following conditions are met: • It is still daylight and the ignition is on. • The exterior lamp control is in the off position. • The transmission is not in P (Park) (United States only). • The light sensor is covered or not detecting light. See “Sensors” under Dual Climate Control System on page 4-36. When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. The instrument panel will not be lit up either. When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enough outside, the turn signal lamps turn off and normal low-beam headlamp operation occurs. When automatic lighting is on and it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps go off, and the DRL takes over. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if there is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 4-31. Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps will deactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate. 4-29 Cornering Lamps The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering. Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the exterior lamp button has been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off about 10 minutes after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF and a door has been opened. This protects against draining the battery if the headlamps or parking lamps are accidentally left on. If you need to leave the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on after the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF and any door is opened. To idle the vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off automatic lighting and shift the transmission into P (Park). Placing the vehicle in P (Park) disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). To drive the vehicle with the DRL off, turn off automatic lighting and manually turn on the parking lamps or fog lamps, if the vehicle has them. The regular headlamp system should be turned on when needed. Fog Lamps The fog lamps button is on the exterior lamps control to the left of the steering column. # (Fog Lamps): Press the exterior lamps button to turn the fog lamps on or off. A light comes on in the instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps are in use. See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 4-47. The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position for the fog lamps to work. The fog lamps will go off when the headlamps are changed to high-beam. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. 4-30 Instrument Panel Brightness D (Instrument Panel Brightness): This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel and footwell lights, if equipped. The button for this control is located below the exterior lamps control. Push the button in and release to extend the button. Turn the button clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the lights. Courtesy Lamps The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner above the rear seat. These lamps come on by turning the instrument panel brightness knob fully clockwise or when any door is opened and it is dark outside. Puddle lamps are located on the bottom of the front and rear door trim. Professional vehicles have an additional dome lamp and also opera lamps. Entry Lighting This feature turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting for the door switches and the exterior lamp control when a door is opened or if the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button is pressed. If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting remains active for about 40 seconds. Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is turned to ON/RUN, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting. 4-31 Battery Load Management This feature monitors the vehicle’s electrical load and determines when the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when several of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans. If the battery continues to discharge, even with the engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs, the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as they usually do and the climate control fan may cut back to a lower speed. For more battery saving information, see “Battery Saver Active Message” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located on the overhead console on the headliner and in the rear door opening. These lamps come on automatically when any door is opened and it is dark outside. For manual operation, press the button to turn them on. Press it again to turn them off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off. Footwell Lamps For vehicles with footwell lamps, they are located under the instrument panel and at the rear of the front seats. These lamps provide soft light to the front and rear ﬂoor areas. They dim with the instrument panel cluster lights. Footwell lighting brightness can be adjusted with the instrument panel brightness control located below the exterior lamps control. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 4-31. The footwell lights will turn off before the instrument panel lights are at their lowest level of brightness. 4-32 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 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 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 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 Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-67. Inadvertent Power Battery Saver This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to these features will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door or trunk is opened, or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on. 4-33 Battery Run-Down Protection This feature helps prevent the battery from being drained, if the interior courtesy lamps, reading/map lamps, visor vanity lamps or trunk lamp 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 exterior lamps control is turned off, then on again. The headlamps will timeout after 10 minutes, if they are manually turned on with the ignition on or off. Accessory Power Outlet(s) The accessory power outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment, such as a cellular telephone. If the vehicle has a center console, the power outlet is located inside the lower storage area. Some vehicles may have an outlet on the right front lower part of the driver’s seat and under the climate control system next to the ashtray. See Center Console Storage on page 3-55. There are two accessory power outlets in the rear seat area located on the door armrests next to the ashtrays. There may be a small cap that must be removed to access the accessory power outlet. When not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. The accessory power outlet can be used at any time. Notice: Leaving electrical equipment plugged in for an extended period of time while the vehicle is off will drain the battery. Power is always supplied to the outlets. Always unplug electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum 20 ampere rating. Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer/retailer for additional information on the accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to the vehicle can damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer/retailer before adding electrical equipment. 4-34 Follow the proper installation instructions that are
