The lever on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps.
4-9
Wiper Activated Headlamps The headlamps and parking lamps are activated 15 seconds after the windshield wipers are turned on. For this feature to work, automatic lighting must be enabled. See Headlamps on page 4‑9 for additional information. When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. They also turn off 15 seconds after the windshield wiper control is turned off. Headlamps on Reminder If the drivers door is opened with the ignition off and the lamps on, a warning chime will sound. This indicates that the headlamps are still on. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) 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 first sold in Canada. The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or the head lamps will be on when not needed.
4-10
The DRL system will make the headlamps come on when the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on. The exterior lamps control is in AUTO or the parking lamps only position. The light sensor detects daytime light. The parking brake is released.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights will not be illuminated unless you have turned the exterior lamps control to the parking lamp position. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Fog Lamps For vehicles with fog lamps, the button is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel. The ignition must be on to use the fog lamps. # : Press to turn the fog lamps on off. An indicator light on the button comes on when the fog lamps are on.
The parking lamps automatically turn on and off when the fog lamps are turned on and off. The fog lamps will turn off while the high-beam headlamps are turned on. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. Instrument Panel Brightness
The control for this feature is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim the instrument panel lights, when the parking lamps or headlamps are on.

Electric Power Management This vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM), an advanced control system. It estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge and 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 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
4-12
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. Battery Run-Down Protection The vehicle has a battery saver feature designed to protect the vehicle's battery. When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is turned off, the battery rundown protection system automatically turns the lamp off after 20 minutes. This prevents draining of the battery. Accessory Power Outlet(s) Accessory power outlets can be used to connect electrical equipment, such as a cellular phone. The accessory power outlet is located in the center console, rearward of the shift lever. To use the accessory power outlet, remove the cover. When not in use, always cover the accessory power outlet with the protective cap.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with 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 outlet. 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. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only.
Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter The vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette lighter. To use the lighter, located on the instrument panel below the climate controls, push it in all the way and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back out by itself. Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 15 amperes. To clean the center console ashtray, remove the entire ashtray and empty it.

is started. It provides
information about tire
pressures and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring
System.
When the Light is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of the tires are
significantly underinflated.
A tire pressure message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), can accompany the light. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on page 4‑37 for more
information. Stop and check the tires as soon as it is
safe to do so. If underinflated, inflate to the proper
pressure. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6‑63
for more information.
When the Light Flashes First and Then is
On Steady
This indicates that there may be a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitor System. The light flashes for about a
minute and stays on steady for the remainder of the
ignition cycle. This sequence repeats with every ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 6‑66 for more information. Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check Engine Light A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It ensures that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.
This light should come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running, as a check to show it is working. If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer.
If the check engine light comes on and stays on, while the engine is running, this indicates that there is an OBD II problem and service is required.
4-27
Malfunctions often are indicated by the system before any problem is apparent. Being aware of the light can prevent more serious damage to the vehicle. This system assists the service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. Notice: If the vehicle is continually driven with this light on, after a while, the emission controls might not work as well, the vehicle's fuel economy might not be as good, and the engine might not run as smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Notice: Modifications made to the engine, transmission, exhaust, intake, or fuel system of the vehicle or the replacement of the original tires with other than those of the same Tire Performance Criteria (TPC) can affect the vehicle's emission controls and can cause this light to come on. Modifications to these systems could lead to costly repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty. This could also result in a failure to pass a required Emission Inspection/Maintenance test. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6‑4. This light comes on during a malfunction in one of two ways: Light Flashing : A misfire condition has been detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required.
4-28
To prevent more serious damage to the vehicle:
. Reduce vehicle speed. . Avoid hard accelerations. . Avoid steep uphill grades.
If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle. Find a safe place to park the vehicle. Turn the key off, wait at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light is still flashing, follow the previous steps and see your dealer/retailer for service as soon as possible. Light On Steady : An emission control system malfunction has been detected on the vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be required. An emission system malfunction might be corrected by doing the following:
. Make sure the fuel cap is fully installed. See Filling
the Tank on page 6‑10 . The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap allows fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the light off.
.
If the vehicle has been driven through a deep puddle of water, the vehicle's electrical system might be wet. The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off.
. Make sure to fuel the vehicle with quality fuel.
Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and can cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off. See Gasoline Octane on page 6‑7.
If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer/retailer can check the vehicle. The dealer/retailer has the proper test equipment and diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical problems that might have developed.
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs Some state/provincial and local governments have or might begin programs to inspect the emission control equipment on the vehicle. Failure to pass this inspection could prevent getting a vehicle registration. Here are some things to know to help the vehicle pass an inspection:
The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the check engine light is on with the engine running, or if the key is in ON/RUN and the light is not on. The vehicle will not pass this inspection if the OBD II (on-board diagnostic) system determines that critical emission control systems have not been completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle would be considered not ready for inspection. This can happen if the battery has recently been replaced or if the battery has run down. The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate critical emission control systems during normal driving. This can take several days of routine driving. If this has been done and the vehicle still does not pass the inspection for lack of OBD II system readiness, your dealer/retailer can prepare the vehicle for inspection.
4-29
Oil Pressure Light

Fuel Gage
The fuel gage shows about how much fuel the vehicle has left.
An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the vehicle the fuel door is on. Here are four things that some owners ask about. None of these show a problem with the fuel gage: . At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full. It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill the tank. The gage moves a little while turning a corner or speeding up. The gage does not go back to empty when the ignition is turned off.
For the fuel tank capacity, see Capacities and Specifications on page 6‑128.
