From the O (off) position, rotating the head-
light switch clockwise to the first detent will
turn on the vehicle’s parking lights. This
feature will allow one side of the vehicle
parking lights to illuminate when the vehicleis locked depending on the turn signal stalk
position. Rotate the headlight switch clock-
wise from the O (off) position to the second
detent for headlight and instrument panel
light operation.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If
Equipped
The Daytime Running Lights will turn on
when the engine is started and remain on
unless the headlamps are turned on or the
ignition is turned OFF.
NOTE:
If allowed by law in the country in which the
vehicle was purchased the Daytime Running
Lights can be turned on and off using the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further details.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the in-
strument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction lever
back toward the steering wheel will return the
lights to low beams.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will cause the high
beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.
Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the head-
lights on or off according to ambient light
levels. To turn the system on, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise to the last detent
for automatic headlight operation. When the
system is on, the headlight time delay feature
is also on. This means the headlights will stay
on for up to 90 seconds after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.

NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.
Headlight Time 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
ignition, they will turn off in the normal
manner.NOTE:
• The lights must be turned off within
45 seconds of placing the ignition in the
OFF position to activate this feature. If the
headlight switch is in the AUTO position
prior to turning the ignition OFF, there is no
need to turn the headlight switch to off to
activate Headlight Delay.
• The headlight delay time is programmable
using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further details.
Front And Rear Fog Lights — If Equipped
The fog light switches are built into the head-
light switch.
To activate the front fog lights, push the
upper half of the headlight switch. To turn off
the front fog lights, push the upper half of the
headlight switch a second time.
To activate the rear fog lights, push the
lower half of the headlight switch. To turn off
the rear fog lights, push the lower half of the
headlight switch a second time.NOTE:
To turn on the rear fog lamps, the low beam
lamps or front fog lamps must first be active.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the opera-
tion of the turn signals, headlight beam se-
lection and passing lights. 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 display 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.

• A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in
the instrument cluster display and a con-
tinuous chime will sound if the vehicle is
driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with
either turn signal on.
• When the Daytime Running Lights are on
and a turn signal is activated, the Daytime
Running Lamp will turn off on the side of
the vehicle in which the turn signal is
flashing. The Daytime Running Lamp will
turn back on when the turn signal is turned
off.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without mov-
ing beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then
automatically turn off.
Headlight Leveling System — If Equipped
Your vehicle may be equipped with a head-
light leveling system. This system allows the
driver to maintain proper headlight beam
position with the road surface regardless of
vehicle load.
The control switch is located on the instru-
ment panel next to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch until the
appropriate number, which corresponds to
the load listed on the chart, aligns with the
indicator line on the switch.

Blue Indicator Lights
— High Beam Indicator Light
This indicator shows that the high beam
headlights are on. With the low beams acti-
vated, push the multifunction lever forward
(toward the front of the vehicle) to turn on the
high beams. Pull the multifunction lever rear-
ward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to turn
off the high beams. If the high beams are off,
pull the lever toward you for a temporary high
beam on, "flash to pass" scenario.
Gray Indicator Lights
— Electronic Speed Control On Indica-
tor Light
This light will turn on when the electronic
speed control is on.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic transmis-
sion control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as
well as emissions well within current govern-
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag-
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter dam-
age and power loss will soon occur. Im-
mediate service is required.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls.
Authorized service technicians may need to
access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
