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.
High Beam Headlights
Push the multifunction lever towards the
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.
Multifunction Lever
Pulling the multifunction lever back will turn
the low beams on.
Automatic Headlights
This system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the (AUTO) position.

To turn the automatic headlights off, turn the
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.

ture, stop the engine immediately and contact
an authorized dealer.
Fuel Level Gauge
The digital fuel gauge monitors the amount of
fuel in the tank.
When the Fuel Level warning light turns on,
a message is displayed, and a chime will
sound when 2.3 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel are left
in the tank.
Proceeding further, the second white notch
will go off and the last one will become red,
together with the indication "E" present at the
bottom of the tank.

Engine Oil Change Required — If Equipped
The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.
NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine
is started the symbol will continue to illumi -
nate as described above until the oil is
changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the
oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by
using the vehicle for short drives, preventing
the engine from reaching operating tempera -
ture.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of engine oil pressure sensor
failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as

possible to have the failure eliminated.
Rain Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of failure of the automatic wind -
shield wiper.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Dusk Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the case
of failure of the automatic low beam
alignment.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Blind Spot Monitoring System Failure — If
Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of a Blind Spot Monitoring
system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Fuel Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the
event of fuel level sensor failure.

possible.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced
as soon as possible after the symbol is
switched on, and never more than
500 miles (805 km) after it first switches
on. Failure to observe the above may result
in severe damage to the engine and
invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. When this symbol comes on, it
does not mean that the level of engine oil is
low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.
