Lighting Features
Entry Lighting
The interior lamps turn on when pressing K on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or opening any doors, and the dome lamp control is in the DOOR position.
Some exterior lamps also turn on when pressing K on the RKE transmitter 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 Q on the RKE transmitter, or starting the vehicle.
This feature can be changed. On the infotainment home screen, select the Settings icon T Vehicle T Vehicle Locator Lights.
Exit Lighting
Some exterior lamps and interior lamps turn on when the key is removed from the ignition.
The exterior and interior lamps remain on for a set amount of time, then automatically turn off. If equipped with Keyless Access, the exterior lamps automatically turn on when the driver door is opened after the ignition is turned off.
The interior lights turn on when the ignition 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 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.
Battery Save
The vehicle is equipped with electrical power management (EPM). EPM monitors and controls the charging system. The message BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the EPM detects the battery may be draining too quickly, the charge state needs to be reset, or the Auxiliary Power Module failed.
If safe to do so, when BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE displays, manually shut off windshield wipers, communications equipment, climate controls, etc. to slow the battery from draining.
If the message still displays, fully charge the vehicle. Once fully charged, unplug the vehicle and let the vehicle sit an additional 8.5 hours or greater without being interrupted to allow the Body Control Module (BCM) to reset the battery to the required state of charge.
The following may interrupt the vehicle:
- Charging the vehicle
- Battery Maintenance Mode
- Approach Detection is activated
- The remote key is left in the car or left in close proximity of the vehicle
- Pressing buttons on the remote key
- Opening the doors or tailgate
To reduce the occurrence of this alert, GM recommends letting the vehicle sit uninterrupted for 8.5 hours or greater on a weekly basis.
If after completing this process the BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE message remains, see your dealer for service.
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 O position and then back to the ; or 2 position.
To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, the ignition must be on or in ACC/ACCESSORY.
