Note:
If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low
beam headlamps will illuminate
automatically when the rain sensor
activates the windshield wipers
continuously.
Note: Wet road conditions can cause
unexpected wiping or smearing.
To reduce smearing we recommend
the following:
• Lower the sensitivity of the
autowipers.
• Switch to normal or high speed
wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off. Highest sensitivity

The wipers will function when
moisture is detected on the
windshield. The rain sensor will
continue to monitor the amount of
moisture on the windshield and adjust
the speed of the wipers automatically.
This feature can be switched on or off
in the information display. See
General Information (page 100). Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate
when the sensor detects a large
amount of moisture on the windshield.
With high sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a
small amount of moisture on the
windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. Sensor performance will be
affected if the area around the interior
mirror is dirty. The rain sensor is very
sensitive and the wipers may operate
if dirt, mist or flies hit the windshield.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:
Do not operate the washers
when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to
overheat. The washers will spray for as long as
you pull the lever toward you. When
you release the lever, the wipers will
operate for a short time.

Wipers and WashersE144497 E144498

A wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing to clear any remaining
washer fluid. This feature can be
switched on or off in the information
display. See General Information

Wipers and Washers

The headlamps will remain on for a
period of time after you switch the
ignition off. You can adjust the time
delay using the information display
controls. See Information Displays
(page ?).
Note: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, low beam
headlamps will illuminate
automatically when the rain sensor
activates the windshield wipers
continuously.

B HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY
After you switch the ignition off, you
can switch the headlamps on by
pulling the direction indicator lever
toward you. You will hear a short tone.
The headlamps will switch off
automatically after three minutes with
any door open or 30 seconds after the
last door has been closed. You can
cancel this feature by pulling the
direction indicator toward you again
or switching the ignition on.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light
situations or during inclement
weather. The system does not
activate the tail lamps and may not
provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions
may result in a collision. The system switches the signature
lamps on in day light conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting
control to the off, autolamp, or
parking lamp position.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on
your high beams if it is dark enough
and no other traffic is present. When
it detects an approaching vehicle ’s
headlights, a preceding vehicle ’s tail
lamps or street lighting, the system
will turn off the high beams before
they distract other drivers. The low
beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic
control of the high beams is not
functioning properly, check the
windshield in front of the camera for
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Any windshield damage in the area of
the camera field-of-view should be
repaired.
Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g.
bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or
ice) and no changes are observed, the
system will go into low beam mode
until the blockage is cleared. A
message may also appear in the
instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system ’s performance. However,
in cold or inclement weather
conditions, the automatic high beam
system's availability may be decreased.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
turn the high beams ON or OFF using
the multifunction switch lever.
Automatic control will resume when
conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height (e.g. using much larger tires)
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle,
and monitors conditions continuously
to decide when to switch the high
beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high
beams will switch on if:
• The ambient light level is low
enough that high beams are
needed.
• There is no traffic in front of the
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
.
The high beams will switch off if:
• An approaching vehicle's
headlights or a preceding vehicle's
tail lamps are detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high
enough that high beams are not
required.

See Information Displays (page ?).
See Autolamps (page 82). Turn the lighting control to the
autolamps position.
Manually Overriding the
System
Use the lever to switch between the
high beams and the low beams. Note:
This is a temporary override and
the system will return to automatic
operation after a short period.
To permanently deactivate the
system, use the information display
menu or turn the lighting control
switch from autolamps to headlamps.
DIRECTION INDICATORS Push the lever up or down to use the
direction indicators.
Note:
Tap the lever up or down to

the following conditions have been
met:
• You open any door.
• You press a remote control button.
• You touch switch A on the front
interior lamp.

start your vehicle to make sure they
work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for
further information.
Note:
Some warning indicators appear
in the information display and function
the same as a warning lamp but do not
display when you start your vehicle.
