light levels. To turn the system on,
turn the headlight switch to the ex-
treme counterclockwise position
aligning the indicator with AUTO on the headlight switch. When the sys-

lights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off if they were turned on by
this feature. Headlights on when
windshield wipers are on may be
found on vehicles equipped with an
automatic headlight system. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-ProgrammableFeatures” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.

can choose to have the headlights re-
main on for 30, 60, or 90 seconds or
not remain on. To change the timer
setting, see your authorized dealer.

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.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle has traveled at over 30 km/h
for approximately 1.6 km with the
turn signals on, a chime will sound to
alert the driver. HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH

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: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Automatic High Beams —
ON” through the EVIC. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO (A) posi-
tion.
3. Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section
for further information.

If the radio functions (FM, AM, or
SAT) are in the shared mode with the
VES™, only the radio is able to con-
trol the radio functions. In this case,
VES™ can share the radio mode, but
not change stations until the radio
mode is changed to a mode that is
different from the VES™ selected ra-
dio mode. When shared, the radio has
priority over the VES™ or all radio
modes (FM, AM, and SAT). The
VES™ has the ability to switch tuner
(AM/FM), SEEK, SCAN, TUNE, and
recall presets in radio modes as long
as it is not in shared mode.
When in shared disc mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of
the video functions. The VES™ has
the ability to control the following
video modes:
1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Re-
wind, Scan, and Track Up/Down.
2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to
Disk Up/Down and program all listed
CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind,
Scan, and Track Up/Down).The VES™ can even control radio
modes or video modes while the radio
is turned off. The VES™ can access
the radio modes or disc modes by
navigating to those modes on the
VES™ and activating a radio mode or
disc mode.
