turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto High
Beam” within your Uconnect settings, as well as turning
the headlight switch to the AUTO position. 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.

Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed to
ensure proper performance. See a local authorized dealer.

or above 15 mph (24 km/h).
To Deactivate
1. Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or rearward in vehicle) to manually deactivate the system (normal
operation of low beams).
2. Push back on the multifunction lever to reactivate the system.
The Automatic High Beams can also be deactivated
through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.

You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward you. This

200 SAFETY

Replacing Exterior Bulbs
Front Low/High Beam Headlamp — Models With
Halogen Headlamps
1. Open the hood.
NOTE:Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be
necessary prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp assem-
bly on the driver side of the vehicle.
2. Remove the large dust cap from the headlamp housing by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise, and remove.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil
contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the
bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the
bulb with rubbing alcohol.
4. Disconnect the bulb from the socket assembly and install the replacement bulb.
5. Reinstall the bulb and socket assembly into the head- lamp assembly, and then turn it clockwise.
6. Reinstall the dust cap.
Front Low/High Beam Headlamp — Models With
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps (HID)
The headlamps are a type of high voltage discharge tube.
High voltage can remain in the circuit even with the
headlamp switch off and the key removed. Because of this,
you should not attempt to service a headlamp bulb
yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for service.
WARNING!
A transient high voltage occurs at the bulb sockets of
HID headlamps when the headlamp switch is turned
ON. It may cause serious electrical shock or electrocu-
tion if not serviced properly. See your authorized
dealer for service.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps, when
the headlamps are turned on, there is a blue hue to the
lights. This diminishes and becomes more white after
approximately 10 seconds, as the system charges.
Front/Rear Side Marker Lamp
The Side Markers use LED lamps that are not serviceable
separately. The Side Markers must be replaced as an
assembly, see your authorized dealer.
