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.

The function can be activated from the radio
system by selecting the following functions in
sequence on the main menu:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Lights.”
3. “Headlight Off Delay.”
Rear Fog Light
The rear fog lights may be operated as desired
when visibility is poor due to fog. The rear fog
light button is integrated with the headlight
switch.
Push the button to turn the rear fog lights
on/off.
The lights can be turned off by pushing the
button again or by turning the headlight switch
to the O (off) position and holding it there for a
few seconds.

NOTE:

The headlight switch must first be turned to
the parking lights or headlights position before
the rear fog light button can be pushed.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will remain off the next time the
engine is started.

Adaptive Frontlight System (AFS Function) —
If Equipped

This is a system combined with Xenon head-
lights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp if equipped)
which directs the headlights horizontally, and
continuously and automatically adapts them
to the driving conditions around bends or
when cornering.
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 at which the
steering wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down to
activate the turn signals. The arrows on each
side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation.
The or turn signal will blink on the instru -
ment panel.
Lane Change Assist
Lightly push the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
will flash five times then automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of the
cycle, move the lever in the opposite direction
until the first click (about half way).
Static Bending Light Function (SBL) — If
Equipped
The SBL function utilizes Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) in order to better illuminate the street
and increase the light angle while turning. This
function is enabled by rotating the light switch
to position (on) or (auto). The SBL LEDs
activate when the speed is below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the steering radius is below
0.3 miles (500 m).
This function can be activated/deactivated on
the radio system by selecting the following
functions in sequence on the main menu:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Lights.”
3. “Cornering Lights.”
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control
is rotated to its farthest upward position. The
glove compartment light turns on automati -
cally when the glove compartment is opened
and turn off when it is closed. The door cour -
tesy lights illuminate when one of the front
doors is opened, and turn off when it is closed.
The trunk courtesy lights turn on automatically
when the trunk is opened and turn off when it
is closed. All of these lights turn on and off
regardless of the ignition status.

HOOD
Opening
To open the hood, two latches must be
released.
1. Pull the release lever located underneaththe driver’s side of the instrument panel.
Hood Release Lever 2. Lift the hood slightly. Move the underhood
latch from right to left to release the hood.
Release Hood Latch To The Left
3. Raise the hood completely. The operation is assisted by the addition of two gas props
which hold it in the open position.
NOTE:

Do not tamper with the props and assist the
hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood. Before
lifting, check that the windshield wiper arms
are not raised from the windshield or in
operation, that the vehicle is stationary and
that the Electric Park Brake is engaged.
Closing
To close, lower the hood to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine compart
-
ment then let it drop. Make sure that the hood
is completely closed and fully latched.

NOTE:

Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, check that
it is closed on both its side ends.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
