Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED, located
on the windshield. It detects changes in light intensity
outside the vehicle, based on the sensitivity of light set by
using the menu on the display or on the Uconnect system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of external
light required for controlling the lighting.

Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automat-
ing high beam control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera de-
tects 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 the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
• 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.
Parking Lights
From the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch to the
first detent (parking position) to turn on the parking lights.
The parking light indicator in the instrument cluster will
illuminate.
Headlight Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for up to 90 seconds when leaving your vehicle in an unlit
area.
The time delay of the headlights is programmable between
0, 30, 60 and 90 seconds. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Headlight Delay Activation
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF
position while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off the
headlights within two minutes. The delay interval begins
when the headlight switch is turned off from the “Low-
beam” position.
If the headlight switch is in AUTO position and headlights
were on before the ignition is OFF, the delay interval begins
automatically.

NOTE:If the end of the multifunction lever rotates from off
to the first intermittent setting or from the first intermittent
setting to the second intermittent setting, the wipers will
perform a round up to clean the windshield.
This function can be activated or deactivated by the
Uconnect Settings through the radio. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in the “Multimedia” for further information.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position two is the most sensi-
tive. Place the wiper switch in the off position when not
using the system.
Rain Sensing Wipers – Inhibition
When the user switches the ignition to OFF, leaving the
lever in intermittent positions, no wipe cycle is performed
for safety reasons. This temporary inhibition avoids acci-
dental activations of the wiping (e.g during the hand
washing of the windscreen, blocking the blades in ice/
snow conditions). The user can activate the Rain Sensing
Wipers in three ways:
•
Moving the level in off position and then in Intermittent
positions.
• One MIST command actuation.
• The vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) and the rain
sensor detects the presence of rain.
NOTE:
• The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high-speed position.
• The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice, or dried salt water is present on the wind-
shield.
