Head RestraintsHead restraints are designed to reduce the risk
of injury by restricting head movement in the
event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should
be adjusted so that the top of the head restraint
is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
The head restraints for all occupants must be
properly adjusted prior to operating the ve-
hicle or occupying a seat. Head restraints
should never be adjusted while the vehicle is
in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head
restraints improperly adjusted or removed
could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Active Head Restraints — Front Seats
Active Head Restraints are passive, deployable
components, and vehicles with this equipment
cannot be readily identified by any markings, only
through visual inspection of the head restraint.

Automatic Headlights — If EquippedThis system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will turn on in the Automatic Mode.
Headlights On Automatically With
Wipers
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Head-
lights, it also has this customer-programmable
feature. When your headlights are in the auto-
matic mode and the engine is running, they will
automatically turn on when the wiper system is
on. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable Features” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensi-
tive Wiper System” and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within approxi-
mately one minute, and they will turn off ap-
proximately four minutes after the wipers com-
pletely stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers and
Washers” in this section for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the instrument panel lights will
automatically dim to the lower nighttime
intensity. Refer to “Lights” in this section for
further information.
SmartBeam™ — If EquippedThe SmartBeam™ system provides increased
forward lighting at night by automating high beam
control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This cam-
era detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•If the windshield or SmartBeam™ mirror
is replaced, the SmartBeam™ mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper perfor-
mance. See your local authorized dealer.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights
and taillights of vehicles in the field of
view will cause headlights to remain on
longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions (sticker, toll
box, etc.) on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Enable the Automatic High Beams. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Customer-Programmable Features” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head-
light position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you
(toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.

Headlights Only
This feature prevents the headlights from inter-
fering with the vision of oncoming drivers.
Headlight leveling automatically adjusts the
height of the headlight beam in reaction to
changes in vehicle pitch.
Headlight DelayTo aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while
the headlight switch is on, and then the head-
light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
cancelled by either turning the headlight switch
on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

(rotating wheel on the right side of the headlight
switch) is rotated to the its farthest upward posi-
tion, or if equipped, when the UNLOCK button is
pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. When a door is open and the interior
lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the
way down, to the OFF detent, will cause all the
interior lights to go out. This is also known as the
“Party” mode because it allows the doors to stay
open for extended periods of time without dis-
charging the vehicle’s battery.
