Parking Over Things That Burn {CAUTION: Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under your vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn. 150 Engine Exhaust {CAUTION: Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you cannot see or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death. You might have exhaust coming in if: (cid:127) Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. (cid:127) Your vehicle gets rusty underneath. (cid:127) Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. CAUTION: (Continued) CAUTION: (Continued) (cid:127) Your vehicle was damaged when driving over high points on the road or over road debris. (cid:127) Repairs were not done correctly. (cid:127) Your vehicle or exhaust system has been modiﬁed improperly. If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle: (cid:127) Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CO; and (cid:127) Have your vehicle ﬁxed immediately. 151 Running the Engine While Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. {CAUTION: Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. See the earlier caution under Engine Exhaust on page 151. Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the climate control fan is at the highest setting. One place this can happen is a garage. Exhaust — with CO — can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the engine running. Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. See Winter Driving on page 386. {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 148. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 398. 152 Mirrors Manual Rearview Mirror While sitting in a comfortable driving position, adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind your vehicle. Grip the mirror in the center to move it up or down and side to side. The day/night adjustment can lessen glare from the headlamps behind your vehicle. Pull the tab forward for daytime use; push it back for night use. Outside Power Mirrors Push the top control to the left or right to choose either the driver’s or passenger’s outside rearview mirror. Leave the control in the center position to prevent moving the mirrors once they are adjusted. Use the arrows on the bottom control to adjust the position of each mirror. Adjust each mirror so that you can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind it, while sitting in a comfortable driving position. Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward to prevent damage when going through car washes or conﬁned spaces. The controls, located on the driver’s door, operate both outside rearview mirrors. 153 Outside Convex Mirror OnStar® System {CAUTION: 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 your right. Check your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther away than they really are. Outside Heated Mirrors If equipped, the outside heated rearview mirrors are activated when the rear window defogger is turned on. See “Rear Window Defogger” in Climate Control System on page 205 or Dual Climate Control System on page 209. 154 OnStar® uses several innovative technologies and live advisors to provide you with a wide range of safety, security, information, and convenience services.

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 available to assist you in programming the transmitter. Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. You only need the original remote control transmitter for ﬁxed code programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. If you do not know if your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code or rolling code device, open your garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. Your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code device if there is a panel of switches. If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device. Programming Universal Home Remote — Fixed Code Fixed Code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed code uses the same coded signal every time, which is manually programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Remove the battery cover of the hand-held transmitter. 159 Example of Switch Settings Example 2. Write down the eight to 12 coding switch settings from left to right. When the switch is in the up position, write “on,” and when a switch is in the down position, write “off”. If a switch is set between the up and down position, write “middle”. 3. Enter these positions into the Universal Home Remote System as follows. Press and release all three buttons at the same time to put the device into programming mode. 4. The indicator light will blink slowly. In order from left to right, and within two and one-half minutes, enter each switch setting into the Universal Home Remote System. Push one button for each switch as follows: (cid:127) Left button = “on” switch position. (cid:127) Right button = “off” switch position. (cid:127) Middle button = “middle” switch position. 160 5. After entering the switch settings, press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on. 6. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light above the selected button should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve 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 button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 8, choosing a different function button in Step 7 than what you used for the garage door opener. Programming Universal Home Remote — Rolling Code Rolling code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced after 1996 and are code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote control garage door opener is used. Programming a rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before you begin. If you do not follow these actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press the two outside buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them. 161 3. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve to 20 seconds. 4. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 5. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 6, choosing a different function button in Step 4 than what you 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. 2. Go to the garage. Locate the garage door motor head and press and release the “learn” button. After pressing the “learn” button, you have 10 to 30 seconds to complete Step 4 depending on your garage control unit. If you cannot locate the “learn” button, refer to the owners guide for your garage door opener. 162 Reprogramming Universal Home Remote Buttons You can reprogram any of the three buttons by repeating the instructions. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons You should erase the programmed buttons when you sell the vehicle or terminate your lease. To erase either rolling code or ﬁxed code on the Universal Home Remote device, do the following: 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 button will be erased. For additional information on Universal Home Remote, see Customer Assistance Offices on page 542. Universal Home Remote System Operation (With One Triangular LED) Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there is one triangular Light Emitting Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below. If your vehicle has three round LED above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions under Universal Home Remote System Operation (With three round LED). Do not use the Universal Home Remote 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. 163 If you have a newer garage door opener with rolling codes, be sure to follow Steps 6 through 8 to complete the programming of your Universal Home Remote Transmitter. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Home Remote. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in the programming steps. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home Remote programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section or, for assistance, see Customer Satisfaction Procedure on page 538. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate operator you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. It is recommended that a new battery be installed in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. 164 Programming Universal Home Remote Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two outside Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing only when the Universal Home Remote indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired Universal Home Remote button and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” later in this section. 4. The indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly after Universal Home Remote successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons. 6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home Remote button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on continuously, programming is complete and your device should activate when the Universal Home Remote button is pressed and released. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the programmed channels. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the programming of a rolling-code device, most commonly, a garage door opener. 7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. 8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed Universal Home Remote button for two seconds, then release. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener, or other rolling code device, repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. The Universal Home Remote should now activate the rolling-code device. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not repeat Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming from the Universal Home Remote buttons. 165 Gate Operator and Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for Universal Home Remote to pick up the signal during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to time out in the same manner. If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty programming a gate operator or garage door opener by using the “Programming Universal Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” with the following: Continue to press and hold the Universal Home Remote button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter button until the frequency signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Home Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” to complete. 166 Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate Universal Home Remote button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons To erase programming from the three Universal Home Remote buttons do the following: 1.

Horn Press near or on the horn symbols on your steering wheel pad to sound the horn. Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise the steering wheel to the highest level to give your legs more room when you enter and exit the vehicle. The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column. Hazard Warning Flashers Your hazard warning ﬂashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will ﬂash on and off. The hazard warning ﬂasher button is located in the center of the instrument panel. Your hazard warning ﬂashers work no matter what position your key is in, and even if the key is not in the ignition switch. Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal lamps ﬂash on and off. Press the button again to turn the ﬂashers off. When the hazard warning ﬂashers are on, your turn signals will not work. 182 Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever. Then move the wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place. The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: (cid:127) G Turn and Lane Change Signals. See Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 184. (cid:127) 53 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 185. (cid:127) Flash-to-Pass. See Flash-to-Pass on page 185. (cid:127) N Windshield Wipers. See Windshield Wipers on page 185. 183 To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ﬂash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself when you release it. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow ﬂashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the fuse. See Bulb Replacement on page 455 and Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 512. If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will ﬂash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. (cid:127) L Windshield Washer. See Windshield Washer on page 186. (cid:127) Z Rear Window Wiper. See Windshield Washer on page 186. (cid:127) = Rear Window Washer. See Windshield Washer on page 186. For information on the headlamps, see Exterior Lamps on page 192. Turn and Lane-Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is ﬁnished, the lever will return automatically. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster will ﬂash in the direction of the turn or lane change. 184 Turn Signal On Chime If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you. When the high beams are on, this light will appear on the instrument panel cluster. To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you. Flash-to-Pass When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you to momentarily turn on the high beams. This will signal that you are going to pass. When you release the lever, they will turn off. Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol on it. 8(Mist): For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band on mist longer. 9(Off): To stop the wipers, move the band to off. N (Delay): You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay. 185 6 (Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the ﬁrst solid band past the delay settings. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the second solid band past the delay settings. To stop the wipers, move the band to off. 1 (High Speed): For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the second solid band past the delay settings. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Windshield Washer LQ (Windshield Washer): Press and hold the windshield washer paddle with this symbol on it to wash your windshield. The washers and wipers will operate. When you release the paddle, the washers will stop, and the wipers will continue to operate for two cycles, unless your wipers had already been on. In that case, the wipers will resume the wiper speed you had selected earlier. {CAUTION: 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. 186 Rear Window Wiper/Washer {CAUTION: 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. If your vehicle has the rear window washer/ wiper, the controls are located on the end of the turn signal/multifunction lever. 9(Off): Move the lever to this position to turn the rear washers/wipers off. Z (Rear Wiper): Move the lever to this position to turn the rear wipers on. = (Rear Washer/Wiper): Move the lever to this position to wash and wipe the rear window. The rear window washer uses the same ﬂuid bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer will run out of ﬂuid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check the ﬂuid level. 187 Cruise Control {CAUTION: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use your 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. 188 If your vehicle has cruise control, the lever is located below the windshield wiper control on the right side of the steering wheel. Q RES + (Resume/Accelerate): Push the lever up to resume the cruise control speed, or to accelerate when passing another vehicle. J (CRUISE CONTROL) ON/OFF q: Press the button on the end of the lever to turn the cruise control on. Press it again to turn cruise control off. R SET — (Set/Coast/Decelerate): Push the lever down to set the cruise speed. If the cruise speed is already set this position can be used to coast or decelerate from a higher speed. CANCEL R: Pull the lever to cancel the cruise control speed. Cruise control allows a speed of approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more to be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 365. When road conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again. Setting Cruise Control {CAUTION: 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. 1. Push the button at the end of the cruise control lever to turn the cruise control on. 2. Accelerate to the desired speed. 3. Push down on the cruise control lever and release it. This will set the speed in cruise control. 4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. This symbol will appear on the instrument panel cluster when the cruise control is set. This symbol will disappear when the brakes are applied or the cruise control is cancelled. It will reappear when the set cruise speed is resumed. 189 Resuming a Set Speed If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. But the cruise control does not need to be reset. Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, the cruise control lever can be pushed upward toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position to return to the preset cruise speed. The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset cruise speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed up and held toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, the vehicle speed will increase until the lever is released or the brakes are applied. Do not continue to hold the lever in the plus (resume/accelerate) position, unless a faster speed is desired. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: (cid:127) Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push up on the cruise control lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position, then release the lever and take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed. (cid:127) Push up and hold the cruise control lever toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position until the vehicle reaches the desired speed. Then release the cruise control lever. To increase the vehicle’s speed in very small amounts, push up brieﬂy on the cruise control lever and release it. Each time this is done, the vehicle will speed up approximately one mph (1.6 km/h). The acceleration feature will only work after the cruise control speed has been set by pushing the cruise control lever down to the set position. 190 Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce the vehicle’s speed while using cruise control: (cid:127) Push the cruise control lever downward toward the minus (set/coast/decelerate) position until a lower speed is reached, then release it. (cid:127) To slow down in very small amounts, push the cruise control lever downward toward the minus (set/coast/decelerate) position brieﬂy. Each time this is done, the vehicle will slow down approximately one mph (1.6 km/h). Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed set earlier. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well the cruise control will work on hills depends upon the vehicle’s speed, its load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, the accelerator pedal might have to be used in order to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, the brakes might have to be applied, or the transaxle might have to be shifted to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Doing either of these things will take the vehicle out of cruise. It may be better not to use the cruise control if the brakes constantly have to be applied, or the vehicle continuously needs to be shifted to a lower gear. Cancelling Cruise Control To cancel a cruise control session, pull the cruise control lever forward, or step lightly on the brake pedal. Doing either of these things will only end the current cruise control session, but the set speed will be retained in memory. Push the button at the end of the cruise control lever to turn the system off. 191 AUTO (Automatic): Turn the control to this position to set your headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode, if enabled, will turn the exterior lamps on and off automatically depending on how much light is available outside the vehicle. Due to the momentary switch design, your automatic lights may be disabled even if the control is in the AUTO position. ; (Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps together with the following: (cid:127) Taillamps (cid:127) 5(Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Instrument Panel Lights Erasing Speed Memory When the cruise control or the ignition is turned off, the cruise control set speed memory is erased. Exterior Lamps The control to the left of the steering column operates the exterior lamps. 9(Off): Turn the control to this position to toggle off all lamps. This is a momentary control that will spring back to AUTO when released. This momentary control will turn the automatic headlamps and/or the Daytime Running Lamps on and off for U.S. vehicles. For vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada, this is only true when the transaxle is in PARK (P). 192 Wiper Activated Headlamps This feature, if equipped, will automatically activate the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for about 30 seconds and when all of the following conditions are met. (cid:127) The exterior lamp control is in AUTO. (cid:127) The headlamps have not already been activated by automatic lighting. (cid:127) The automatic lighting feature has not been disabled using the exterior lamp control. See Exterior Lamps on page 192 for additional information. If the wipers are activated for over 30 seconds and the exterior lamp control is in the parking lamps position, or the automatic lighting feature has been disabled using the exterior lamp control, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center, if equipped. Headlamps on Reminder If you turn the ignition to LOCK while leaving the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime once the driver’s door is opened. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/ Automatic Headlamp System Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional Daytime Running Lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. 193 A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered. The DRL system will make front parking and turn signal lamps come on in daylight when the following conditions are met: (cid:127) The ignition is on. (cid:127) The exterior lamps control is off. When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps will be on. Your instrument panel will not be lit up. When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will come on automatically. When it is bright enough outside, the exterior lamps will turn off and the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any time you need to. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 195. To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic headlamps off, toggle the exterior lamp control to off after starting the vehicle. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. 194 Instrument Panel Brightness Interior Lamps Control The knob to adjust the instrument panel brightness is located in the center of the interior lamp controls. The interior lamp control is located to the right of the exterior lamp controls on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights and counterclockwise to dim them. R (Interior Lamp Override): Turn the outer knob to this position to have your interior lamps remain off while any door is open. 1(Door): Turn the outer knob to this position to turn the interior lamps on while any door is open and when the ignition key is removed from the ignition. + (Interior Lamps): Turn the outer knob to this position to turn the interior lamps on. Turn the inner knob to adjust the instrument panel brightness, described earlier in this section. 195 Dome Lamp The dome lamp is located in the headliner and has two buttons to manually turn it on or off. The dome lamp will come on each time you open a door, unless you turn on the interior lamps override feature. See Interior Lamps Control on page 195. Entry Lighting With entry lighting, the interior of your vehicle is illuminated so that you can see inside before you enter your vehicle. The lamps will come on for 20 seconds if you unlock your door using your key or the remote keyless entry transmitter and the ignition is in LOCK. After 20 seconds have passed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The lamps will turn off before the 20 seconds if you do one of the following: (cid:127) Lock all the doors using the key. (cid:127) Press lock on the power door lock switch. (cid:127) Press lock on the remote keyless entry transmitter. When any door is opened, entry lighting is cancelled. The interior lamps will stay on while any door or the liftgate is open, and slowly fade out when all doors and the liftgate are closed. 196 The interior lamps may stay on for up to 25 seconds after all doors have been closed if they have not been locked. See Delayed Lighting on page 196. To turn the entry lighting feature off or on, see DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 261. Delayed Lighting The delayed lighting feature will continue to illuminate the interior for 20 seconds after all doors have been closed, so that you can ﬁnd your ignition and buckle your safety belt at night. Delayed lighting will not occur while the ignition is in RUN or ACCESSORY. After 20 seconds have passed, the interior lamps will slowly fade out. The lamps will fade out before the 20 seconds have passed if you do one of the following: (cid:127) Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY. (cid:127) Lock all doors using the remote keyless entry transmitter. (cid:127) Lock all doors using the power door lock switch or the key. To turn the delayed lighting feature off or on, see DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 261. Exit Lighting With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on for about 25 seconds whenever you remove the key from the ignition. If you turn the ignition key to RUN or ACCESSORY, the lamps will fade out. The lamps will also fade out if you lock the doors with the power door lock switch or the remote keyless entry transmitter. When any door is opened, exit lighting is cancelled. The interior lamps will stay on while any door or the liftgate is open, and slowly fade out when all doors and the liftgate are closed. The interior lamps may stay on for up to 20 seconds after all doors have been closed if they have not been locked. See Delayed Lighting on page 196. To turn the exit lighting feature off or on, see DIC Vehicle Personalization (Uplevel Only) on page 261. Front Reading Lamps There are two reading lamps and one courtesy lamp in the overhead console. To turn either reading lamp on or off, press the lens of the lamp. The courtesy lamp will come on each time you open a door, unless you turn on the interior lamps override feature. See Interior Lamps Control on page 195. Rear Reading Lamps There are two reading lamps in the third row headliner. To turn either reading lamp on or off, press the lens of the lamp. There may also be a reading lamp in the second row, integrated with the dome lamp. To turn the second row reading lamp on or off, press the button next to the lamp lens. 197 Cargo Lamp The cargo lamp is located in the rear of your vehicle, above the liftgate opening, and does not have a switch. The cargo lamp will come on each time you open a door, unless you turn on the interior lamps override. See Interior Lamps Control on page 195. 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, 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. 198 EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Battery Voltage Low. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. Battery Run-Down Protection Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from draining the battery, in case you accidentally leave the interior lamps on. If you leave any interior lamps on while the ignition is in lock or off, they will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. The lamps will not come back on again until you do one of the following: (cid:127) Turn the ignition to RUN or ACCESSORY (cid:127) Open a closed door, or close and reopen a door. (cid:127) Turn the interior lamps on if they are in the door or override position. (cid:127) Turn the interior lamps to the door or override position and then to on again if the interior lamp control is in the on position. If your vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after only three minutes. 199 Overhead Console Switchbank The overhead console switchbank is located in the overhead console. This switchbank may include the following: (cid:127) Power Sliding Door(s)/Override Switch(es). See Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 121. (cid:127) Power Rear Quarter Windows. See Power Rear Quarter Windows on page 132. (cid:127) Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) Disable Switch. See Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) on page 200. If your vehicle does not have some of these options, there will be a blank. 200 Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) If your vehicle is equipped with the Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system, it is designed to help you park, while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). It operates only at very low speeds, less than 3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help make parking easier and to help you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The URPA system can detect objects up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle, and tell you how close these objects are from your rear bumper. Your vehicle’s URPA operates when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Four ultrasonic sensors located at the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to the object. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, near the rear window. It has three color-coded lights used to provide distance and system information to the driver. {CAUTION: The Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (URPA) system does not replace driver vision. URPA does not: (cid:127) Operate above speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h). (cid:127) Detect objects more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather. (cid:127) Detect objects that are below the bumper, underneath the vehicle, or that are very close to the vehicle. (cid:127) Detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets. So if you do not use proper care before backing up, you could hit a vehicle, child, pedestrian, bicyclist, or pet, resulting in vehicle damage, injury, or death. Even though the vehicle has the URPA system, always check carefully before backing up by checking behind your vehicle. URPA can be turned off by pressing the rear park aid disable switch located in the overhead console switchbank. While the system is disabled, an indicator light will be lit on the switch. You will not see any lights on the rear display if the switch is in the off position. 201 How the System Works Unless disabled, the URPA will turn on automatically when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R). When the system turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate for one and a half seconds to let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will ﬂash to remind you that the system does not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed of less than 3 mph (5 km/h), one of the following will occur: Description amber light amber/amber lights amber/amber/red lights & continuous chime amber/amber/red lights ﬂashing & continuous chime English 5 ft 40 in 20 in 1 ft Metric 1.5 m 1.0 m 0.5 m 0.3 m A chime will sound the ﬁrst time an object is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m) away. 202 URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within detection range behind the vehicle. When the System Does Not Seem to Work Properly The light may ﬂash red when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush. Other conditions that may affect system performance include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck. If after cleaning the rear bumper and then driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ﬂash red, see your retailer. If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle, the light may also ﬂash red. The light will continue to ﬂash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h) without any obstructions behind the vehicle. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 505. Accessory Power Outlet(s) Your vehicle is equipped with a front accessory power outlet located near the ﬂoor on the instrument panel. It can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. Pull the cover down to use the accessory power outlet. When not in use, keep the cover on. The rear accessory power outlet is located behind the third row seats on the driver’s side behind an access cover. To remove the cover, pull the tab on the cover and pull it off. To put the cover back on, line up the tabs at the back of the cover and put the cover in place. Push down the tab to secure the cover. When not in use, always cover the rear 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 retailer for additional information on accessory power outlets. Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your retailer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your 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. 203 The power outlet is not designed for the following electrical equipment and may not work properly if these items are plugged into the power outlet: (cid:127) Equipment with high initial peak wattage such as: compressor-driven refrigerators and electric power tools. (cid:127) Other equipment requiring an extremely stable power supply such as: microcomputer-controlled electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc. Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating Current Your vehicle may have a power outlet that can be used to plug in auxiliary electrical equipment with a maximum limit of 150 watts.
