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.

The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be regulated by rotating the
dimmer control up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the headlights are on you can
supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead
console by rotating the control to its farthest position up until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when headlights are required
during the day.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
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 defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved,
it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction back toward the steering wheel will turn the
low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.

Windshield Wipers And Washers
The windshield wiper/washer controls are located on the multifunction lever on the
left side of the steering column. The front wipers are operated by rotating a switch,
located on the end of the lever. For information on the rear wiper/washer, refer to
“Rear Window Wiper/Washer” in this section.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first four detent positions for intermittent
settings, the fifth detent for low wiper operation and the sixth detent for high wiper
operation.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the “park” position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off,
and the blades cannot return to the “park” position, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings when weather conditions make a
single wiping cycle, with a variable delay between cycles, desirable. At driving speeds
above 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from a maximum of approxi-
mately 18 seconds between cycles (first detent), to a cycle every one second (fourth
detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, push on the end of the lever (toward the steering wheel) and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while in the intermittent setting, the
wipers will turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after the end of the lever is
released, and then resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the end of the lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers
will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING MIRRORS
The rearview and driver side exterior mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Electronic Speed Control System has
been designed to shut down if multiple
Speed Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System can be re-
activated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and reset-
ting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push the ON/OFF button to activate the
electronic speed control. CRUISE CON-
TROL READY will appear on the instru-
ment cluster to indicate the electronic
speed control is on. To turn the system
off, push the ON/OFF button a second
time. CRUISE CONTROL OFF will appear
on the instrument cluster to indicate the
electronic speed control is off. The sys-
tem should be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not
using it.

AUTOSTICK
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to maximize engine
braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle
performance. This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city
driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other
situations.
Operation
To activate AutoStick mode, move the
gear selector into the MANUAL (M) posi-
tion (beside the DRIVE position), or tap
one of the shift paddles on the steering
wheel. Tapping the (-) shift paddle to
enter AutoStick mode will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear, while
tapping (+) to enter AutoStick mode will retain the current gear. The current
transmission gear will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In AutoStick mode, you
can use the gear selector (in the MANUAL position), or the shift paddles, to manually
shift the transmission. Tapping the gear selector forward (-) while in the MANUAL (M)
position, or tapping the (-) shift paddle on the steering wheel, will downshift the
transmission to the next lower gear. Tapping the lever rearward (+) (or tapping the (+)
shift paddle) will command an upshift.
NOTE:
The shift paddles may be disabled (or re-enabled, as desired) using the Uconnect
Personal Settings.
In AutoStick mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually
selected by the driver (using the gear selector, or the shift paddles), unless an engine
lugging or overspeed condition would result. It will remain in the selected gear until
another upshift or downshift is chosen, except as described below.
• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to preventengine lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle
is accelerated.
• You can start out, from a stop, in first or second gear (or third gear, in 4LO range, Snow mode, or Sand mode). Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second
gear. Starting out in second gear can be helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• If a requested downshift would cause the engine to over-speed, that shift will not occur.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
Shift Paddles
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• Holding the (-) paddle depressed will downshift the transmission to the lowestgear possible at the current speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick is enabled.
• The system may revert to automatic shift mode if a fault or overheat condition is detected.
NOTE:
When Selec-Speed or Hill Descent Control is enabled, AutoStick is not active.
To disengage AutoStick, return the gear selector to the DRIVE position, or press and
hold the (+) shift paddle (if the gear selector is already in DRIVE) until "D" is once
again indicated in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of AutoStick at any
time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive
wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehicle's overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions. Push the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the
instrument panel to activate or disable ECO mode. An amber light on the switch
indicates when ECO mode is disabled.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is
engaged, the vehicle control systems will
change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhibited based on tem-
perature and other factors.
Active Noise Cancellation — Summit
And SRT Models Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active
Noise Cancellation System. This system
uses four microphones embedded in the headliner to detect undesirable exhaust
noise. An onboard frequency generator creates counteracting sound waves through
the audio system to help keep the vehicle quiet.ECO Switch
