High Beam Headlights 
Push  the  multifunction  lever  towards  the
instrument  panel  to  switch  the  headlights  to
high beams. The headlight switch must first be
turned to the   (auto) or  (on) position.
With  high  beam  headlights  on,  the    High
Beam  Indicator  on  the  instrument  panel  will
illuminate.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.
NOTE:
The function can only operate with the ignition
position cycled to ON/RUN. 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  func -
tion, rotate the headlight switch to the   posi -
tion.
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

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 
DISPLAY
Instrument Cluster Display Description
This vehicle  is equipped with  a  driver interac -
tive  display  that  is  located  in  the  instrument
cluster.
When  one  or  more  of  the  doors  have  been
opened or closed and the ignition is in the OFF
position, the instrument cluster will display the
vehicle mileage for a few seconds.
Reconfigurable Instrument Cluster Display
During  operation,  the  instrument  cluster
display is divided into multiple sections which
show  driving  data,  warnings,  and  failure  indi -
cations.

temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner  turned  off  until  the  pointer
drops  back  into  the  normal  range.  If  the
pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine
off  immediately  and  call  an  authorized
dealer for service.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC 
SYSTEM
Operation
The Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD) carries
out a continuous diagnosis of the components
of the vehicle related to emissions.
It also alerts the driver of  when these compo -
nents  are  no  longer  in  peak  condition  by
switching  on  the    Engine  Check/Malfunc -
tion  Indicator  warning light  on  the  instrument
panel. The  aim  of  the  OBD  system  (Onboard  Diag
-
nostic) is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate  the  need  to  replace  damaged
components
The  vehicle  also  has  a  connector,  which  can
interface with appropriate tools, that makes it
possible to  read the error codes stored  in the
electronic  control  units  together  with  a  series
of  specific  parameters  for  engine  operation
and  diagnosis.  This  check  can  be  carried  out
by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
After  eliminating  a  fault,  to  check  the  system
completely, an authorized dealer is obliged to
run tests and, if necessary certain road tests.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II) 
Cybersecurity
Your  vehicle  is  required  to  have  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  diagnosis  and  service  of  your  vehicle  and
emissions system.
