Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera mounted
on the vehicle’s header. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control can be 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 and
placing the multifunction lever in the high
beam position. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further information.
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 wind-
shield or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
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.

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:
