Safety mode is a feature that is triggered after acollision if there is potential damage to an impor-tant function in the vehicle, such as the fuellines, sensors for one of the safety systems, thebrake system, etc.
If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, thetext Safety mode See Owner's manual mayappear in the instrument panel along with thewarning symbol if the panel is undamaged andthe vehicle's electrical system is intact. The mes-sage indicates that one or more of the vehicle'sfunctions may be reduced.

Ambient temperature sensor
The ambient temperature is shown in the instru-ment panel.
The sensor detects the temperature outside thevehicle.
Location of the ambient temperature sensor in 12" and8" instrument panels.
If the vehicle has been stationary, the sensorreading may be higher than the actual tempera-ture.
When the ambient temperature isbetween –5 °C and +2 °C (23 °F and36 °F), a snowflake symbol will be dis-played in the instrument panel as awarning for possible slippery conditions.
The snowflake symbol is also temporarily lit in thehead-up display if the vehicle is equipped withone.

Turn the lighting ring to the position toturn on the parking lights (the license plate light-ing will also illuminate).
Canadian models: If the ignition is in the II posi-tion, the daytime running lights will illuminateinstead of the front parking lights. With the light-ing ring in this position, the parking lights willremain on regardless of what position the ignitionis in.
US models: When mode is selected, thedaytime running lights can be deactivated in thecenter display. The parking lights will also be
deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-nated.
In dark conditions, the rear parking lights alsoilluminate when the tailgate is opened to alert fol-lowing traffic. This happens regardless of whatposition the lighting ring or ignition is in.

Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam-era sensors in the upper edge of the windshieldto detect the headlights of approaching vehiclesor the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.When either of these is detected, the vehicle'sheadlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams.
Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring
on the steering wheel lever to .
The function can also detect street lighting.When the camera sensor no longer detects anapproaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-lights will return to high beams.
This function can be used in dark conditionswhen the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h(approx. 12 mph) or higher.
If active high beams are deactivated when thehigh beams are on, the headlights will automati-cally switch to low beams.
When active high beams are activated, a white
symbol will be displayed in the instrumentpanel.
When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue.For LED headlights, this applies even if the highbeams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlightsare illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with LED 3
headlights *
If the active high beams are equipped with the
auto on/off function4, the headlights will return tohigh beams a second or so after the camera sen-sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function isbased has limitations.
If this symbol and the message ActiveHigh Beam Temporarilyunavailable is displayed in the instru-ment panel, switching between highand low beams must be done manually. The light-ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in
the position. The symbol will go outwhen the message is displayed.
The same applies if this symbol alongwith the message Windscreensensor Sensor blocked, seeOwner's manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailablein certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. Whenactive high beams become available again, or thewindshield sensors are no longer blocked, the
message will disappear and the symbol willbe displayed.
WARNING
Automatic high beam is an aid in using thebest possible light based on prevailing condi-tions.
The driver is always responsible for manuallyswitching between high and low beam whentraffic situations or weather conditions requirethis.

Adjusting the rearview mirrordimming function
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g.from the headlights of following vehicles, couldreflect in the rearview mirror and door mirrorsand cause a glare. Use the dimming functionwhen light from behind is distracting.
Auto-dim
If bright light enters the vehicle from behind, thedoor mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim isalways active when the engine is running, exceptwhen reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not benoticeable immediately but will instead takeeffect after a short period of time.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect boththe rearview mirror and door mirrors.
To change the dimming sensitivity level:
1.Tap Settings in the Top view in the centerdisplay.
2.Tap My CarMirrors and Convenience.
3.Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming,select Normal, Dark or Light.
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors -one pointing forward and one pointing rearward -
which work together to identify and eliminateglare. The forward-pointing sensor monitorsambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensormonitors light from the headlights of followingvehicles.
For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto-dim, the rearview mirror must also be equippedwith auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parkingpermit, transponder, sunshade or objects onthe seats or in the cargo compartment in away that prevents light from reaching the sen-sors, the auto-dim function in the door andrearview mirrors will be reduced.
