Exterior Lighting

The exterior lamp control is on the left side of the steering wheel.

There are four positions:
Briefly turn to this position to turn the exterior lamps off and deactivate the AUTO mode. Turn again to reactivate the AUTO mode. When released, the control returns to the AUTO position.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the headlamps will automatically reactivate when the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park).

AUTO : Automatically turns the exterior lamps on and off, depending on outside lighting.

AUTO also controls the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL). See Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) .
Turns on all lamps, except the headlamps.
Turns on the headlamps together with the parking lamps and instrument panel lights.
A warning chime sounds if the driver door is opened when the vehicle is off and the headlamps or parking lamps are on.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push the turn signal lever away from you and release to turn the high beams on. To return to low beams, push the lever again or pull it toward you and release.

This indicator light turns on in the instrument cluster when the high-beam headlamps are on.

Flash-to-Pass
The flash-to-pass feature works with the low beams or Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) on or off.
To flash the high beams, pull the turn signal lever all the way toward you, then release it.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The dedicated DRL will come on when all of the following conditions are met:

• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamps control is in AUTO, or has been briefly turned to to turn the automatic light control on again.
• The light sensor determines it is daytime.
  When the DRL are on, the headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker lamps, instrument panel lights, and other lamps will not be on.
• sold in Canada, the transmission must be in P (Park), before the automatic headlamp system can be turned off.

The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the instrument panel. Do not cover this sensor, otherwise the system will come on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage heavy overcast weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp system so that driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp system will on be affected when the light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. If it is light outside when the vehicle leaves the garage, there will be a slight delay before the automatic headlamp system changes to the DRL. During that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control.

Lights On with Wipers
If the windshield wipers are activated in daylight with the engine on, and the exterior lamp control is in AUTO, the headlamps, parking lamps, and other exterior lamps come on. The transition time for the lamps coming on varies based on wiper speed. When the wipers are not operating, these lamps turn off. Move the exterior lamp control to or to disable this feature.

Hazard Warning Flashers

Press to make the front and rear turn signal lamps flash on and off. This warns others that you are having trouble. Press again to turn the flashers off.
The hazard warning flashers turn on automatically if the airbags deploy.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals

Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
An arrow on the instrument cluster flashes in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is completed.
If the lever is briefly pressed and released, the turn signal flashes three times.
The lever returns to its starting position whenever 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 any burned out bulbs replaced. If a bulb is not burned out, check the fuse.

Interior Lighting

This feature adjusts the brightness of all illuminated controls. The knob for this feature is on the left side of the instrument panel.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the instrument panel lights at night. Turn the knob completely clockwise to turn on the interior lamps.
The knob is functional at night, or when the headlamps or parking lamps are ON.

Lighting Features

Entry Lighting
The interior lamps turn on when pressing on the remote key or opening any doors, and the dome lamp control is in the door position.

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

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

Battery Load Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all of the power needed for very high electrical loads.

A high electrical load occurs when several of the following are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, 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 DIC message might be displayed and it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.

Battery Power Protection

This feature helps prevent the battery from being drained, if the interior courtesy lamps or reading lamps 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 doors are closed and then re-opened.
•  
• Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
  The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off, if the parking lamps or headlamps have been manually
  left on. This protects against draining the battery. To restart the 10-minute timer, turn the exterior lamp control to the  position and then back to the
• or  position.
  To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the vehicle must be on or in accessory mode.
