Unlock the driver’s door lock cylinder with
the emergency key
Operate the internal door handle
NOTE:
For the rear doors, if the Child Safety Locks are
engaged, and the previously described locking
procedure is carried out, operating the internal
handle will not open the door. Instead, it will
only realign the lock release device. To open
the door, the outside handle must be used.
The door central locking/unlocking buttons
are not deactivated when the emergency lock
is engaged.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil -
dren. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock
all of the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the left side
of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel. The headlight switch controls the oper-
ation of the headlights, parking lights, instru -
ment panel lights, instrument panel light
dimming, interior lights and rear fog lights.
In addition, there are buttons for the Park -
Sense system and Engine Stop/Start
Ú
page 86.
Headlight Switch The instrument panel and the various controls
on the dashboard will be illuminated when the
exterior lights are turned on.
To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. When the headlight switch is
on, the parking lights, taillights, license plate
light and instrument panel lights are also turned
on. To turn off the headlights, rotate the head
-
light switch back to the O (off) position.
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) (low inten -
sity) come on automatically whenever the igni -
tion is placed in the ON/RUN position, and the
headlight switch is turned to the position,
and the dusk sensor detects sufficient
external light.
If the turn signals are operated, the brightness
of the corresponding Daytime Running Lights
will be decreased as long as the turn signals
are on.
The DRL can be activated/deactivated from
the radio system, by selecting the following
functions in sequence on the main MENU:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Lights.”
3. “Daytime Running Lights.”
NOTE:
The Daytime Running Lights cannot be deacti -
vated in Canadian markets.

instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. The headlight switch must be
turned to the (auto) or (on) position.
The High Beam Indicator on the instrument
panel will illuminate when the high beams are
on.

headlight switch out of the (AUTO) position.
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
headlights to turn on, and remain on, until the
lever is released.
Automatic High Beam Headlights — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use
of a camera mounted on the windshield. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and auto -
matically switches from high beams to low
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
This function is enabled with the radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (auto).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue
icon/warning light will illuminate in the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the function is active, the lights
will turn off if the multifunction lever is pushed
again. When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the func
-
tion switches the high beam headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are operated
quickly again (pushing the multifunction lever
towards the instrument panel), the warning
light/icon will illuminate in the instrument
panel, and the high beam headlights will turn
on constantly until the speed exceeds 25 mph
(40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated.
If the multifunction lever is pushed again with
the Automatic High Beam Headlights acti -
vated, the Automatic High Beam Headlights
function deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight function,
rotate the headlight switch to the position.
NOTE:
If the system recognizes heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
• Reflections on road signs
• Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
• Poor weather conditions •
Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
• Damage to the windshield
Parking Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, rotate the headlight switch clock -
wise to the position. All of the parking lights
will turn on for eight minutes, and opening the
door activates an audible warning.
To leave only the lights on one side (right/left)
illuminated, move the multifunction lever
(located on the left side of the steering wheel)
to the side that you want to remain on. With
the parking lights on, the warning light on
the instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the head -
light switch back to the O (off) position.
Headlight Off Delay
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Head -
light Off Delay” feature will leave the head -
lights on for up to 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is placed in the OFF
position while the headlight switch is on, and
then the headlight switch is cycled off. Head -
light delay can be canceled by either turning
on the headlights or side lights, or by placing
the ignition in the ON position.

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel to ventilate the
chest and face. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct
the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort
conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. This setting heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents and side/central dashboard
vents. This setting allows air to flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.
