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
continuous chime will sound if the vehicle
is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) witheither 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.
Headlight Leveling System — If Equipped
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. Headlight Leveling Control Switch
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.
Battery Saver Feature
To protect the battery, the interior lights will
turn off automatically 15 minutes after the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF/LOCK
position. This will occur if the interior lights
were turned on manually or are on because a
door is open.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are
located on the windshield wiper/washer lever
on the right side of the steering column. The
front wipers are operated by rotating a
switch, located on the end of the lever. For
information on the rear wiper/washer, refer to
“Rear Window Wiper/Washer” in this
section.

Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent
settings. The first intermittent wiper interval
is 10 seconds. The second intermittent wipe
interval is based on vehicle speed. Rotate to
the third detent for low wiper operation and
the fourth detent for high wiper operation.Windshield Wiper Operation NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with
the blades lifted from the windshield.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever
is pulled while in the intermittent setting,
the wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is
released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position
and release for a single wiping cycle. NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snow fall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers for the driver. The feature is espe
-
cially useful for road splash or overspray from
the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
one of two settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position two is the most sensitive.
Place the wiper switch in the O (off) position
when not using the system.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and
the blades cannot return to the “park”
position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate
when the wiper switch is in the low or
high-speed position.
The Rain Sensing feature may not func-
tion properly when ice, or dried salt water
is present on the windshield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone
may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on
and off using the Uconnect System, refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
in the Owner’s Manual for further informa-
tion.
The Rain Sensing system has protection
features for the wiper blades and arms, and
will not operate under the following condi -
tions:
Change In Ignition Position — If the vehicle
is in Rain Sensing mode and the ignition
is cycled from OFF to ON, the auto wiper
will be suppressed until vehicle speed is
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper
switch is moved out of and back into the
Intermittent wipe position.
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — The
Rain Sensing system will not operate if the
NEUTRAL gear is selected at speeds of
3 mph (5 km/h) or less unless the wiper
switch is moved or the gear selector is
moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with Remote Starting system,
Rain Sensing wipers are not operational
when the vehicle is in the remote start
mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle
and has placed the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position, Rain Sensing wiper
operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on
the windshield wiper/washer lever on the
right side of the steering column. The rear
wiper/washer is operated by rotating a
switch, located at the middle of the lever. Rotate the center portion of the lever upward
to the first detent for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous rear
wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever
is pushed while the wiper is in the off posi
-
tion, the wiper will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control System allows you to
regulate the temperature, air flow, and direc -
tion of air circulating throughout the vehicle.
The controls are located on the touchscreen
(if equipped) and on the instrument panel
below the radio.

The gear selection must match vehicle
uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill
is in forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is
in REVERSE gear).
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all
forward gears. The system will not activate
if the transmission is in PARK or
NEUTRAL. For vehicles equipped with a
manual transmission, if the clutch is
pressed, HSA will remain active.
Towing With HSA
HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate
roll back while towing a trailer.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off.
To change the current setting, proceed as
follows:
If disabling HSA using Uconnect Settings,
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi-
media” for further information.
Rain Brake Support (RBS)
Rain Brake Support (RBS) may improve
braking performance in wet conditions. It
will periodically apply a small amount of
brake pressure to remove any water buildup
on the front brake rotors. It functions when
the windshield wipers are in LO or HI speed.
When Rain Brake Support is active, there is
no notification to the driver and no driver
interaction is required.
Ready Alert Braking (RAB)
Ready Alert Braking (RAB) may reduce the
time required to reach full braking during
emergency braking situations. It anticipates
when an emergency braking situation may
occur by monitoring how fast the throttle is
released by the driver. The EBC will prepare
the brake system for a panic stop.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill
Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, such as on minor
hills or with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive to
distance to other vehicles, people, and
objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
WARNING!
If you use a trailer brake controller with
your trailer, the trailer brakes may be
activated and deactivated with the brake
switch. If so, there may not be enough
brake pressure to hold both the vehicle
and the trailer on a hill when the brake
pedal is released. In order to avoid
rolling down an incline while resuming
acceleration, manually activate the
trailer brake or apply more vehicle brake
pressure prior to releasing the brake
pedal.
HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when exiting your
vehicle. Also, be certain to place the
transmission in PARK.
Failure to follow these warnings can
result in a collision or serious personal
injury.

A/C Air Filter
See an authorized dealer for service.
Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades
and the windshield and rear window periodi-
cally with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accu -
mulations of salt, waxes, or road film, and
help reduce streaking and smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using
the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost
or ice from the windshield or rear window.
Make sure that they are not frozen to the
glass before turning them on to avoid
damaging the blade. Keep the wiper blade
out of contact with petroleum products such
as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and
frequency of use. Poor performance of
blades may be present with chattering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system; or if the exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle; or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged;
have an authorized technician inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected
each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication
or oil change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventu
-
ally poison you. To avoid breathing CO,
refer to “Safety Tips” in “Safety” for
further information.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if
you park over materials that can burn.
Such materials might be grass or leaves
coming into contact with your exhaust
system. Do not park or operate your
vehicle in areas where your exhaust
system can contact anything that can
burn.
CAUTION!
The catalytic converter requires the use
of unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline
will destroy the effectiveness of the cata-
lyst as an emissions control device and
may seriously reduce engine perfor -
mance and cause serious damage to the
engine.
