dialed may not be applicable with the
available mobile service and area.
• If supported, this number may be pro-
grammable on some systems. To do this,
press the
button and say “Setup”, fol-
lowed by “Emergency”. •
The Uconnect® Phone does slightly lower
your chances of successfully making a
phone call as to that for the mobile phone

Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the driver’s heated seat and heated steering
wheel can be programmed to come on during a
remote start. Refer to “Remote Starting System —
If Equipped” in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information.
Front Heated Seats
There are two heated seat switches that allow
the driver and passenger to operate the seats
independently. The controls for each heater are
located near the bottom center of the instrument
panel (below the climate controls).
You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch
indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for HIGH, one for LOW and
none for OFF.
Press the switch once to select
HIGH-level heating. Press the switch
a second time to select LOW-level
heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
When the HIGH-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level during
the first four minutes of operation. Then, the
heat output will drop to the normal HIGH-level. If
the HIGH-level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LOW-level after ap-
proximately 60 minutes of continuous opera-
tion. At that time, the number of illuminated
LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the
change. The LOW-level setting will turn OFF
automatically after approximately 45 minutes.
Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard seats are
equipped with heated seats. There are two
heated seat switches that allow the rear pas-
sengers to operate the seats independently.
The heated seat switches for each heater are
located on the rear of the center console.You can choose from HIGH, LOW or OFF heat
settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch
indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator
lights will illuminate for HIGH, one for LOW and
none for OFF.
Press the switch once to select
HIGH-level heating. Press the switch
a second time to select LOW-level
heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements OFF.

LIGHTS
Headlight SwitchThe headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel.
The headlight switch controls the operation of the
headlights, parking lights, instrument panel lights,
cargo lights and fog lights (if equipped).
To turn on the headlights, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise. When
the headlight switch is on the park-
ing lights, taillights, license plate
light and instrument panel lights
are also turned on. To turn off the
headlights, rotate the headlight switch back to
the O (Off) position. NOTE:
•
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass lights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning pro-
cedures must be followed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive mate-
rials to clean the lenses.
Headlight Switch

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.

NOTE:
This system will not activate until the ve-
hicle is at or above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
1. Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or
rearward in car) to manually deactivate the
system (normal operation of low beams).
2. Push back on the multifunction lever once
again to reactivate the system.

Automatic Headlight Leveling — HID
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.
