NOTE: Your vehicle may be
equipped with an Active Hood Sys-
tem. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Be-
fore Starting Your Vehicle” for
further information.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Lower the
hood until it is open approximately
15 cm, and then drop it. This
should secure both latches. Never
drive your vehicle unless the hood is
fully closed, with both latches en-
gaged.
WARNING!

hood is not fully latched, it could
open when the vehicle is in motion
and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located
on the left side of the instru-
ment panel. This switch con-
trols the operation of the headlights,
parking lights, instrument panel
lights, instrument panel light dim-
ming, interior lights and fog lights.
NOTE: In certain European
countries, the parking light feature
will only operate with the ignition
OFF, or with either the fog lamps or
headlights also ON. Regardless of
ignition switch position, the park-
ing lights will remain ON as long as
the switch is in this first detent. Rotate the headlight switch clockwise
to the first detent for parking light
and instrument panel light operation.
Rotate the headlight switch to the sec-
ond detent for headlight, parking
light and instrument panel light op-
eration.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to am-
bient light levels. To turn the system
on, rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO position.
When the system is on, the headlight
time delay feature is also on. This
means the headlights will stay on for
up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn
the automatic system off, move the
headlight switch out of the AUTO po-
sition.
NOTE: The engine must be run-
ning before the headlights will
come on in the automatic mode.

HEADLIGHTS ON WITH
WIPERS (Available With
Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the head-
lights will turn on approximately 10
seconds after the wipers are turned on
if the headlight switch is placed in the
AUTO position. In addition, the head-
lights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off if they were turned on by
this feature.
NOTE: The Headlights On with
Wipers feature can be turned on or
off using the Uconnect® System,
refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
This feature provides the safety of
headlight illumination for up to 90
seconds (programmable) when leav-
ing your vehicle in an unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, place
the ignition in the OFF position while
the headlights are still on. Then, turn
off the headlights within 45 seconds.The delay interval begins when the
headlight switch is turned off.
If you turn the headlights or parking
lights on, or place the ignition in ACC
or RUN, the system will cancel the
delay.
If you turn the headlights off before
the ignition, they will turn off in the
normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition in the OFF position to
activate this feature.
The headlight delay time is pro- grammable using the
Uconnect® System, refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Automatic High Beam system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam con-
trol through the use of a digital cam-
era 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.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam sys-
tem can be turned on or off using
the Uconnect® System, refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Un-
derstanding 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.
113

If the windshield or Automatic High
Beam mirror is replaced, the Auto-
matic High Beam 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.
To Deactivate
1. Pull the multifunction lever to-
ward you (or rearward in car) to
manually deactivate the system (nor-
mal operation of low beams).
2. Push back on the multifunction
lever once again to reactivate the sys-
tem.DAYTIME RUNNING

markets, where provided)
DRLs come ON when the vehicle is
running and shifted out of park, the
headlights are OFF and the parking
brake is OFF. The headlight switch
must be used for normal nighttime
driving. If a turn signal is activated,
the DRL lamp on the same side of the
vehicle will turn off for the duration of
the turn signal activation. Once the
turn signal is no longer active, the
DRL lamp will illuminate.
NOTE: Depending on your area's
regulations, DRLs may be able to
be turned on and off. The DRLs
can be turned on and off using the
Uconnect® System, refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
ADAPTIVE BI-XENON

headlight beam pattern horizontallyto provide increased illumination in
the direction the vehicle is steering.

forming a brief sequence of rota-
tions.
The Adaptive Headlight System is active only when the vehicle is
moving forward.
The Adaptive Headlight System
can be turned On or Off using the
Uconnect® System, refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.

An indicator light in the instrument
cluster illuminates when the fog lights
are turned on.
NOTE: The front fog lights will
activate automatically when turn-
ing on the position lights or the low

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 defec-
tive outside light bulb. If an in-
dicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defec-
tive.
A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the EVIC (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided) and a continuous chime
will sound if the vehicle is driven
more than 1.6 km with either
turn signal on.
