GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE45
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate
when the engine is started and the transmis -
sion is in any gear except PARK. This provides a
constant "lights on" condition until the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. The lights illuminate
at less than half of normal intensity. If the
parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running
Lights (DRLs) will turn off. Also, if a turn signal is
activated, the DRL lamp on the same side of the
vehicle may turn off for the duration of the turn
signal activation. Once the turn signal is no
longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.
NOTE:
If allowed by law in the country in which the
vehicle was purchased, the Daytime Running
Lights can be turned on and off using the
Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instru-
ment panel to switch the headlights to high
beam. Pulling the multifunction lever back
toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control —
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
inside rearview mirror or forward facing camera.
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 Dim High Beams” within your
Uconnect settings, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” 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 windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function improp -
erly.
To opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam
Sensitivity Control (default) and enter
Reduced High Beam Sensitivity Control (not
recommended), on vehicles equipped with
mirror controlled automatic high beams and
without the forward facing camera, toggle the
high beam lever six full on/off cycles within
10 seconds of placing the ignition in the ON
position. The system will return to the default
setting when the ignition is OFF.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head -
lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
a local authorized dealer.
To Activate

1. The Automatic High Beams are enabled through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.

2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO head -
light position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you (toward front of vehicle) to engage the high
beam mode.

46GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beams will not activate until
the vehicle is at or above 12 mph (20 km/h).
To Deactivate

1. Pull the multifunction lever toward you (or
rearward in vehicle) to manually deactivate
the system (normal operation of low
beams).

2. Push back on the multifunction lever to reactivate the system.
The Automatic High Beams can also be deacti -
vated through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your head -
lights by lightly pulling the multifunction lever
toward you. This will cause the high beam head -
lights to turn on, and remain on, until the lever
is released.
Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns your headlights
on or off based on ambient light levels. To turn
the system on, turn the headlight switch clock-
wise, aligning the indicator with the AUTO on the
headlight switch. When the system is on, the
Headlight Time Delay feature is also on. This
means your headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition switch in
the OFF position. To turn the Automatic System
off, turn the headlight switch counterclockwise
to the O (off) position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head -
lights will come on in the Automatic mode.
Parking Lights And Panel Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, from the O (off) position, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise to the first detent. To
turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
Directional LED Headlamp System — If
Equipped
This is a system consisting of LED (low/high
beam) headlights that incorporate dynamic
cornering with 5-degree inboard/15-degree
outboard swivel. The headlights continuously
and automatically adapt to the driving condi -
tions around bends or when cornering based on
steering wheel angle.
The system directs the headlights to light up the
road in the best way, taking into account the
speed of the vehicle and the bend or corner
angle, as well as the speed of steering.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is traveling above approxi -
mately 5 mph (8 km/h).
Headlights On With Wipers (Available With
Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will
turn on approximately 10 seconds after the
wipers are turned on if the headlight switch is
placed in the AUTO position. In addition, the
headlights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off, if they were turned on by this feature.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE47
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
Headlight Delay
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately up to 90 seconds. This
delay is initiated when the ignition is turned off
while the headlight switch is on, and then the
headlight switch is cycled off. Headlight delay
can be canceled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by placing the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position, a chime will sound when the driver’s
door is opened.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the
parking lights or low beam headlights and push
in the center of the headlight switch control
knob. Pushing the headlight switch control knob
a second time will turn the front fog lights off.

Front Fog Light Switch

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper opera -
tion of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defec -
tive outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist — If Equipped
Tap the multifunction lever up or down once,
without moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash three times then
automatically turn off.
Cargo Lights/Trailer Spotter Lights — If

Blue Indicator Lights
High Beam Indicator Light
This indicator light will illuminate to
indicate that the high beam head -
lights are on. With the low beams acti -
vated, push the multifunction lever
forward (toward the front of the vehicle) to turn
on the high beams. Pull the multifunction lever
rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to turn

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This
system monitors the performance of the emis -
sions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current govern -
ment regulations. If any of these systems require service, the OBD
II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes
and other information to assist your service
technician in making repairs. Although your
vehicle will usually be drivable and not need
towing, see an authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls.
Authorized service technicians may need to access this information to assist with the diag
-
nosis and service of your vehicle and emissions
system.
For further information, refer to “Cybersecurity”
in “Multimedia”.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions tests can
be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected to
the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems, including safety related systems, could
be impaired or a loss of vehicle control
could occur that may result in an acci -
dent involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access, infor -
mation stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
