Summary
"SITUATION: THE HEADLAMPS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (IC), AND TOUCH SCREEN (TS) MAY DIM MOMENTARILY WITHOUT ANY USER INPUT. CAUSE: AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES APPROXIMATELY BELOW 38F/4C, THE HEATED WINDSHIELD AND HEATED REAR WINDOW WILL TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN BOTH THEN AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF, A LARGE LOAD CHANGE TO THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM MAY OCCUR. THIS LOAD CHANGE MAY LEAD THE CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX (CJB) TO ENTER A LOAD PROTECTION COUNTERMEASURE."
