grammed to come on during a remote start
through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods.

High Beams
Push the multifunction lever toward the in-
strument 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.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will cause the
headlights to turn on at high beam and re-
main on until the lever is released.
Automatic Lighting
The Automatic High Beams system provides
increased forward lighting at night by auto-
mating high beam control through the use of
a digital camera mounted above 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. This fea-
ture is activated by selecting “ON” under
“Auto High Beam” within your Uconnect set-tings, as well as turning the headlight switch
to the AUTO position. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.

To operate the parking lighting, the ignition
must be in the OFF position. Rotate the
headlight switch counterclockwise to the “P”
position. Then move the multifunction lever
up or down to turn on the left or right side
parking lights.
Headlight Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds (program-
mable) when leaving your vehicle in an unlit
area.To activate the delay feature, place the igni-
tion in the OFF position while the headlights
are still on. Then, turn off the headlights
within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins
when the headlight switch is turned off.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights on,
or place the ignition in ACC or RUN, the
system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the igni-
tion, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
• The lights must be turned off within 45 sec-
onds of placing the ignition in the OFF
position to activate this feature.

controlling vehicle speed when driving in
off road conditions. The driver must re-
main attentive to the driving conditions
and is responsible for maintaining a safe
vehicle speed.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, mo-
torcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones
from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
The BSM detection zone covers approxi-
mately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle 12 ft (3.8 m). The zone length starts
at the outside rear view mirror and extends
approximately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear
bumper of the vehicle. The BSM system
monitors the detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle when the vehicle speed reaches
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and
will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
79

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both out-
side rear view mirrors to let the driver know
that the system is operational. The BSM
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM warning light, located in the out-
side mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle
moves into a blind spot zone.The BSM system can also be configured to
sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have en-
tered the detection zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is in-
tended to aid the driver when backing out of
parking spaces where the vision of oncoming
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and
cautiously out of the parking space until the
rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP
system will then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is de-
tected, will alert the driver. When RCP is on
and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the driver is
alerted using both the visual and audible
alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Safety”
in the Owner's Manual for further informa-
tion.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner's Manual for further details.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the
system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is requested,
the radio is muted.Rear Detection ZonesBSM Warning Light
SAFETY

Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror
based on a detected object. If the turn signal
is then activated, and it corresponds to an
alert present on that side of the vehicle, an
audible chime will also be sounded. When-
ever a turn signal and detected object are
present on the same side at the same time,
both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert, the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever
an audible alert is requested, the radio is also
muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored;
the RCP state always requests the chime.Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off, there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and used.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system
provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings within the instrument cluster display
to warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react,
avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the for-
ward looking sensors, as well as the Elec-
tronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate
the probability of a forward collision. When
the system determines that a forward colli-
sion is probable, the driver will be provided
with audible and visual warnings.Turning FCW On Or Off
The FCW button is located on the switch
panel below the Uconnect display.
• To turn the FCW system off, push the for-
ward collision button once to turn the sys-
tem OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back on, push the forward collision button again to turn the
system on.
NOTE:
• The default status of FCW is “on”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW status to “off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front of you. If
FCW is set to off, “FCW OFF” will appear in
the instrument cluster display.
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has two settings and can be
changed within the Uconnect System
