Features” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensitive Wiper
System” and it is activated, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on after the wipers complete five wipe cycles
within approximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers completely
stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers And Washers” in this
section for further information.
NOTE:When your headlights come on during the day-
time, the instrument panel lights will automatically dim
to the lower nighttime intensity. Refer to “Lights” in this
section for further information.SmartBeam™ — If Equipped
The 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 camera detects vehicle spe-
cific 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 performance. 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 “Elec-tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further information.
2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO headlight 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 vehicle 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.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped
The Daytime Running Lights (low intensity) come on
whenever the engine is running, and the transmission is
not in the PARK position. The lights will remain on until
the ignition is switched to the OFF or ACC position or the
parking brake is engaged. The headlight switch must be
used for normal nighttime driving.
NOTE: The Daytime Running Lights will turn off auto-
matically when a turn signal is in operation and turn on
again when the turn signal is not operating.
204 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Fog Lights — If Equipped
The fog lights are turned on by rotating the headlight
switch to the parking light or headlight position and
pushing in the headlight rotary control.The fog lights will operate only when the parking lights
are on or when the vehicle headlights are on low beam.
An indicator light located in the instrument cluster will
illuminate when the fog lights are on. The fog lights will
turn off when the switch is pushed a second time, when
the headlight switch is rotated to the off position, or the
high beam is selected.
Interior Lights
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened, when the dimmer control (rotating
wheel on the right side of the headlight switch) is rotated
to the its farthest upward position, 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
Fog Light Operation
206 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times then automatically turn off.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to
turn on until the lever is released.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument
panel to switch the headlights to high beam. Pulling the
multifunction back toward the steering wheel will turn
the low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.

Removing ACC Sensor For Off-Roading
NOTE:When off-roading, it may be advisable to remove
the ACC sensor. The sensor is located behind the front
lower grille in the center of the vehicle. After removing
the lower fascia, you may remove the lower sensor and
bracket assembly.
To remove the sensor follow these instructions:
1. Unplug the connector by depressing the two tabs on the connector and pulling it out. Do not pull by the
wiring or use any tools to remove the connector.
2. Remove the wiring christmas tree attachment from the back of the bracket.
3. Remove the two M6 fasteners that connect the bracket to the bumper. NOTE:
Do not change the adjustment fasteners or pull
the sensor off of the bracket. Doing so may misalign the
sensor.
Store the sensor and bracket assembly in a safe location.
The wiring and connector must be stowed properly after
the sensor and bracket assembly is removed.
A connector plug is stowed on top of the bumper beam.
Insert the wiring connector into the connector plug.
NOTE: When the sensor is removed, Adaptive Cruise
Control, Normal Cruise Control, and Forward Collision
Warning will not be available. The cluster will display
the warning “ACC/FCW Unavailable - Service Radar
Sensor.”
242 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To reinstall the sensor and bracket assembly reverse the
process above. The fastener torque required to assembly
the bracket back to the beam is 6.6 ft lbs (9 N·m).
ACC Unavailable Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays “ACC/
FCW Unavailable, Vehicle System Error”, there may be a
temporary malfunction that limits ACC functionality.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, ACC will be temporarily unavailable. If this
occurs, try activating ACC again later, following a key
cycle. If the problem persists, see your authorized dealer.
Service ACC Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays “ACC/
FCW Unavailable Service Radar Sensor”, it indicates
there is an internal system fault. Although the vehicle is
still drivable under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection
issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or unexpect-
edly. The driver needs to stay alert and may need to
intervene.

Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC
system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds
when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop
when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver that
caused the ESC activation.
5. TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If EquippedThis light will illuminate when the TOW/
HAUL button has been selected. The TOW/
HAUL button is located in the center of the
instrument panel (below the climate controls).
6. Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior turn sig-
nals when the turn signal lever is operated. A tone
will chime, and an EVIC message will appear if either
turn signal is left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km). 7. High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the front fog
lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If Equipped The symbol indicates the status of the Hill
Decent Control (HDC) feature. The lamp will
be on solid when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is in the “4WD
Low” position and the vehicle speed is less then 30 mph
(48 km/h). If these conditions are not met while attempt-
ing to use the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will
flash on/off.
