grammable using the Uconnect
Touch™ System, refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.SMARTBEAM™
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
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 mir-
ror. 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:
SmartBeam™ can be turned on or
off using the Uconnect Touch™
System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause the high beams to remain
on longer and not automatically
switch to low beams until you
are closer to the approaching ve-
hicle. Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield
or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
If the windshield or SmartBeam™
mirror is replaced, the SmartBeam™
mirror must be re-aimed to ensure
proper performance. See your local
authorized dealer.
To Activate
1. Turn the headlight switch to the
AUTO headlight position.
2. Push the multifunction lever away
from you (toward front of vehicle) to
engage the high beam mode.
NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at or above
32 km/h.
