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 or winter driving conditions with
ice, snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.
In these conditions, you can do the
following to help keep your windshield
clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off. Highest sensitivity
A

Lowest sensitivity
C The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor.
You will find it in the area around the
interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors
the amount of moisture on the windshield
and automatically turns on the wipers. It
will adjust the wiper speed by the amount
of moisture that the sensor detects on the
windshield. You can turn this feature on
and off in the information display. See
General Information (page 97).
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the
control to low sensitivity, and the wipers
will turn on when the rain sensor detects
a large amount of moisture on the
windshield. Set the control to high
sensitivity, and the wipers will turn on
when the rain sensor detects a small
amount of moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area
around the mirror is dirty, then the wipers
may operate if dirt, mist or insects 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. 75

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 the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the
tail lamps of the preceding vehicle 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 a blockage. A clear view
of the road is required for proper system
operation. Have any windshield damage
in the area of the camera ’s field-of-view
repaired. Note:
If the system detects a blockage
such as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, and you do not observe changes,
the system will go into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. 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 performance of
the automatic high beam system .
However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, you will notice a decrease in
the availability of the high beam system,
especially at start up. If you want to
change the beam state independently of
the system, you may switch the high
beams on or off using the multifunction
switch. Automatic control will resume
when conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires,
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions 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
• 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:
• the system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the tail
lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h)

display and autolamps. See Information
Displays (page 97). See Autolamps
(page 77). Switch the lighting control to the

Manually Overriding the System When the automatic control has activated
the high beams, pushing or pulling the
stalk will provide a temporary override to
low beam.

permanently deactivate the system, or turn
the lighting control switch from autolamps
to headlamps.

ADAPTIVE HEADLAMPS
The headlamp beams move in the same
direction as the steering wheel. This
provides more visibility when driving
around curves.
