Exit Lighting
The headlamps, tail lamps, parking
lamps, outside mirror lamps, and
number plate lamps come on when
the following is performed:
1. Remove the key from the
ignition.
2. Open the driver door.
3. Pull the indicator lever and
release.
4. Close the driver door.
The exit lighting turns off
immediately if the indicator lever is
pulled again with the driver
door open.
The dome lamp comes on after the
ignition is changed to the OFF
position. The exterior lamps and
interior light remain on for a set
amount of time, then automatically
turn off.
The exterior lamps turn off
immediately by turning the exterior
lamp control off.
This feature can be changed. See
Vehicle Personalisation on
page 5-36
Theatre Dimming
This feature allows for a three to five
second fade out of the courtesy
lamps instead of having them turn
off immediately.
Battery Load
Management
The vehicle has Electric Power
Management (EPM) that estimates
the battery's temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage
for best performance and extended
life of the battery.
When the battery's state of charge
is low, the voltage is raised slightly
to quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high,
the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the vehicle
has a voltmeter gauge or a voltage
display on the Driver Information
Centre (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, main beams, rear
window demister, 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
