INFORMATION DISPLAY CONTROL
See Information Displays (page 112).
Note: The
HUD button replaces the DISP
button on vehicles that have a head up
display (HUD). HEATED STEERING WHEEL
(IF
EQUIPPED)
The heated steering wheel button is on the
climate controls. Press the button to switch the
heated steering wheel on and off.
Note: You can use the heated steering
wheel only when the engine is running.
Note: The system uses a sensor and is
designed to control the temperature of the
steering wheel and to prevent it from
overheating.
Note: In warm temperatures, the steering
wheel quickly reaches its maximum
temperature and the system reduces the
current to the heating element. This could
cause you to think that the system has
stopped working but it has not. This is
normal.

AUTOWIPERS
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,
snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.
Autowipers On.
A
High sensitivity.
B
Low sensitivity.
C Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you select low sensitivity, the wipers
operate when the sensor detects a large
amount of water on the windshield. When
you select high sensitivity, the wipers
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit
the windshield.
In these conditions, you can do the following:
•
Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on the
windshield.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch autowipers off.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades. Note:
If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when
the windshield wipers continuously operate.
Autowipers Settings
This setting defaults to on and remains on
until you switch it off in the information
display.
When you switch off autowipers, the wipers
operate in intermittent mode.
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit (If Equipped)
The rain sensing feature will not operate
immediately after starting your vehicle when
it is in park (P) and the outside temperature
is below
32°F (0°C). You can switch on the
wipers by adjusting the rain sensor sensitivity
or adjusting the wiper speed.
This prevents damage to the wiper blades
from ice and snow on the windshield.

fluid.
Note: You can switch courtesy wipe on or
off in the information display. See General
Information (page 112). Note:
Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This could cause
the washer pump to overheat.
Front Camera Washer

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL WARNING:
The system does not
relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. You may need
to override the system if it does not turn
the high beams on or off. The system turns on high beams if it is dark
enough and no other traffic is present. If it
detects an approaching vehicle
’s headlamps
or tail lamps, or street lighting ahead, the
system turns off high beams before they can
distract other road users. Low beams remain
on.
Note: The system may not operate properly
if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield
free from obstruction or damage.
Note: The system may not operate properly
in cold or inclement conditions. You can
switch on the high beams by overriding the
system.
Note: If the system detects a blockage, for
example bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, the system goes into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message may
appear in the information display if the
camera is blocked.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

The system turns the high beams off if:
• The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or tail lamps.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately
27 mph (44 km/h).
• The system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.
• The camera is blocked. Switching the System On and Off
