Lighting Features
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 too 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
alternator
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all 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, climate control fan at high
speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans,
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.
Battery Power Protection
The battery saver feature is designed to
protect the vehicle's battery.
If some interior lamps are left on and the
ignition is turned off, the battery rundown
protection system automatically turns the
lamp off after some time.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about 10
minutes after the ignition 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 off position and then back to
the parking lamp or headlamp position.
To keep the lamps on for more than 10
minutes, the ignition must be in the
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position.
