cylinder.
Door Lock Manual Release Lock Cylinder
2. Turn  the  manual  release  lock  cylinder clockwise for the right door locks or coun -
terclockwise for the left door locks.
3. Remove  the  key/screwdriver  from  the manual release lock.
Proceed in one of the following ways to realign
the  door  lock  device  (only  when  the  battery
charge has been restored):
Push the lock button on the key fob
Push the unlock button on the door panel
Unlock the driver’s door lock with the emer -
gency 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.
Passive Entry System 
The Passive  Entry system  is  an  enhancement
to the vehicle’s key fob. This feature allows you
to  lock  and  unlock  the  vehicle’s  door(s)  and
liftgate without having to push the key fob lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive  Entry  may  be  programmed  on/off
through the radio screen. Refer to the Infor -
mation  and Entertainment  System Owner’s
Manual  Supplement  for  Passive  Entry
settings.
The key fob may not be able to be detected
by  the  vehicle  Passive  Entry  system  if  it  is
located  next  to  a  mobile  phone,  laptop,  or
other  electronic  device;  these  devices  may block  the  key  fob’s  wireless  signal  and
prevent  the  Passive  Entry  system  from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
If  wearing  gloves,  or  if  it  has  been  raining/
snowing  on  the  Passive  Entry  door  handle,
the  unlock  sensitivity  can  be  affected,
resulting in a slower response time.
If  the  vehicle  is  unlocked  by  Passive  Entry
and  no  door  is  opened  within  60  seconds,
the vehicle will re-lock and (if equipped) will
arm the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob close to the
door  handle,  grab  the  handle  to  unlock  the
vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door handle will
unlock the driver door automatically. Grabbing
the  passenger  door  handle  will  unlock  all
doors and the liftgate automatically.

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 -

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  headlight  switch  back  to  the  O  (off)  posi

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.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may  deactivate,  or  reduce  intensity,  on  one
side of  the  vehicle  (when  a turn signal  is  acti -
vated  on  that  side),  or  on  both  sides  of  the
vehicle  (when  the  hazard  warning  lights  are
activated).
If  equipped, the  DRLs can be  activated/deac -
tivated from the radio system, by selecting the
following  functions  in  sequence  on  the  main
MENU:
1. “Settings.”
2. “Lights.”

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:

Adaptive Headlight System (AFS) — 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

cally  when  the  liftgate  is  opened  and  turn  off
when it is closed. All of these lights turn on and
off regardless of the ignition status.
