Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off according to ambient light
levels. To turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay feature is also on. This means the
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn the ignition switch to the
OFF position. To turn the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight switch out of
the AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the headlights will turn on in the Automatic
Mode.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system provides increased forward
lighting at night by automating 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.
NOTE:
• The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be turned on or off using theUconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” in the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further information.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt,
film, and other obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
• To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-Beam Sensitivity Control (default) and enter Reduced High-Beam Sensitivity Control (not recommended), toggle highbeam
lever 6 full on/off cycles within 10 seconds of ignition ON. System will return to
default setting upon ignition off.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control mirror is replaced, the
mirror must be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See your local authorized
dealer.
Interior Lights
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front doors are opened or when the
dimmer control (rotating wheel on the right side of the headlight switch) is rotated to
its farthest upward position. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and the UNLOCK button is pressed on the RKE transmitter the courtesy and
dome lights will turn on. When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating
the dimmer control all the way down, to the OFF detent, will cause all the interior
lights to go out. This is also known as the “Party” mode because it allows the doors
to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehicle’s battery.
