Easy Entry and Exit Feature
When you switch the ignition off, the
steering column will move to the full up
position to allow extra room to exit your
vehicle. The column will return to the
previous setting when you switch the
ignition on. You can enable or disable this
feature in the information display. See
Information Displays (page 97).
Memory Feature
You can save and recall the steering
column position with the memory function.
See
Memory Function (page 133).
Pressing the adjustment control during
memory recall cancels the operation. The
column responds to the adjustment
control.
The steering column sets a stopping
position just short of the end of the column
position to prevent damage to the steering
column. A new stopping position sets if
the steering column encounters an object
when tilting or telescoping.
To reset the steering column to its normal
stopping position:
1. Press the steering column control again after encountering the new
stopping position.
2. Continue pressing the control until it reaches the end of the column
position.
A new stopping position is set. The next
time you tilt or telescope the steering
column, it will stop just short of the end of
the column position. AUDIO CONTROL

autowipers switched on the low beam
headlamps will turn on automatically when
the windshield wipers operate
continuously.
Note: You may have to manually switch

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)

Retractable Panoramic Roof (If Equipped)
The moonroof controls on the overhead
console operate the same except the
moonroof will open fully when you touch
the open control.
Automatic Glass Movement
When the retractable panoramic roof is
open, it will automatically move to a
position less than full open under certain
vehicle conditions. This helps to reduce
wind noise. If the glass is between this
position and full open and your vehicle
reaches a high speed, the glass will
automatically move to the defined position.
You can override automatic movement by
touching the moonroof open or close
control. The feature will remain overridden
until you switch the ignition off and then

panoramic roof glass. The sunscreen
control is in the overhead console. The sunscreen has a one-touch open and
close feature. Push the control to move
the sunscreen. To stop motion, press the
control a second time. The sunscreen must be open before
opening the moonroof. If you press the
control while the sunscreen is in its closed
position, the sunscreen will open first
followed by the moonroof. If both the
sunscreen and moonroof are open and
you touch the moonroof close control, the
moonroof will close first followed by the
sunscreen.
