collision. Always adjust the pedals while the vehicle is parked.

TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
Manual Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
• The tilt/telescoping control handle is lo-cated below the steering wheel at the end
of the steering column.
• To unlock the steering column, push the lever downward (toward the floor).
• To tilt the steering column, move the steering wheel upward or downward as
desired.
• To lengthen or shorten the steering col- umn, pull the steering wheel outward or
push it inward as desired.
• To lock the steering column in position, push the lever upward until fully engaged.
Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
• The power tilt/telescoping steering con-trol is located below the turn signal/
wiper/washer/high beam lever on the
steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the power tilt/telescoping control up or down
as desired. To lengthen or shorten the
steering column, pull the control toward
you or push the control away from you as
desired.
WARNING!
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment must
be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without
the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause the driver to lose control of the
vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in you and others being severely
injured or killed.
• Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a
stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.
Adjust the column only while the vehicle is stopped.

Rain Sensing Wipers
• This feature senses moisture on the vehicle's windshield and automatically activates thewipers for the driver when the switch is in the intermittent position. Rotate the end of the
lever to one of four settings to activate this feature and adjust sensitivity.
• Rain Sensing can be turned on and off using the Uconnect® System, refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
High Beam Operation
• Push the lever forward to activate the high beams. Pull the lever toward you for flash topass.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent
headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch, located on the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel, to the first detent from the
off position for parking light
and
to the second detent for headlight
.
• With the parking lights or low beam head- lights on, press the headlight switch for
front fog lights. Pressing the switch a sec-
ond time will deactivate the front fog
lights. Turning the headlight switch off
will also deactivate the front fog lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “AUTO” for AUTO headlights.
• When set to AUTO, the system automati- cally turns the headlights on or off based
on ambient light levels.
Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by auto-
mating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the inside
rearview mirror. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from
high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view. This feature is
programmable through the Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings ” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic or Adaptive Speed Control system on when not in use isdangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you
want. You could lose control and have a collision. Always leave the Electronic or
Adaptive Speed Control system off when you are not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. Pay attention to road, traffic, and weather conditions,
vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in a collision or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (i.e., a
stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited
upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of preceding vehicles and will
not compensate for such changes.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and may not
bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes; and
when towing a trailer.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
• Failure to follow these warnings can result in a collision.
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the vehicle via braking
and steering. Failure to follow this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
