WHAT IS AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
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 the high beams off. Low beams
remain on.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted behind
the windshield of your vehicle, continuously
monitors conditions to turn the high beams
on and off.
SWITCHING AUTOMATIC HIGH
BEAM CONTROL ON AND OFF
Switch the system on or off using the
information display. See General
Information (page 110). Activating the Automatic High Beam
Control Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position to activate.
See
Autolamps (page 88).
Note: Automatic high beams are not
available when autolamps are not turned
on.
When active, the high beams turn on if:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of your vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
32 mph (52 km/h).
When active, the high beams turn 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 system detects severe rain, snow or
fog.
• The camera is blocked.
• The vehicle speed falls below
approximately
27 mph (44 km/h). Note:
The deactivation speed is lower on
curves.
Note: High beam reactivation may be
delayed in certain curvy road situations.
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 keyless starting system has three
modes:
•
Off: Turns the ignition off.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once
when the ignition is in the on mode,
or when the vehicle is running but is
not moving.
• On:
All electrical circuits are operational
and the warning lamps and indicators
illuminate.
• Without applying the brake pedal,
press and release the button once.
• Start:
Starts the vehicle. The engine may
not start when the vehicle starts.
• Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button until the vehicle starts. An
indicator light on the button
illuminates when the ignition is on
and when the vehicle starts. STARTING A HYBRID ELECTRIC
VEHICLE SYSTEM
When the engine starts for the first time on
your drive, the idle speed increases, this
helps to warm up the engine. If the engine
idle speed does not slow down automatically,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.
Note:
You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit. A message appears
in the information display alerting you that
you exceeded the cranking time. You
cannot attempt to start the engine for at
least 15 minutes.
Note: After 15 minutes, you are limited to a
15-second engine cranking time. You need
to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again. Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
•
Make sure all occupants have fastened
their seatbelts.
• Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Put the transmission in
P.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
2. Press the button.
Note: The green ready indicator illuminates
letting you know that your vehicle is ready
for driving. Since your vehicle is equipped
with a silent key start, the engine may not
start when your vehicle starts.
See Hybrid
Vehicle Operation (page 173).
The system does not function if:
• The key frequencies are jammed.
• The key battery has no charge.
If you are unable to start your vehicle, do the
following:
