AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS — 
I
F 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 
automatically 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 function 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 activated, 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 clockwise 
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   indicator light on the 
instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight 
switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHT OFF DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Headlight 
Off Delay” feature will leave the headlights 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. Headlight 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:

In automatic operation, air recirculation will be 
controlled by the system according to outside 
environmental conditions.
NOTE:
With the AQS function active and after the 
internal air recirculation system has been 
functioning for a set amount of time, the 
Climate Control System enables air intake to 
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for 
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during 
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system 
makes it possible to reach the required heating 
or cooling conditions faster. It is, however, 
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it 
can increase the possibility of the windows 
fogging. When the outside temperature is low, 
recirculation is forced off to prevent the 
windows from fogging up.

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 condi -
tions 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.
