Multifunction Lever
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)  
The Daytime Running Lights will turn on when the 
engine is started and will remain on unless the 
headlights are turned to the on position, the 
parking brake is applied, or the ignition is placed in 
the OFF position.
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime 
Running Lights will automatically deactivate 
when the front fog lights are turned on.
If allowed by law in the country in which the 
vehicle was purchased, the Daytime Running 
Lights can be turned on and off using the 
Uconnect system  Ú page 129.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights 
may deactivate or reduce intensity on one side 
of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on 
that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when 
the hazard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH  
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument 
panel to switch the headlights to high beams. 
Pulling the multifunction lever back will turn the 
low beams on.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM — IF EQUIPPED 
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control 
system provides increased forward lighting at night 
by automating high beam control through the use 
of a digital camera mounted on the inside rearview 
mirror. This camera detects vehicle specific light 
and automatically switches from high beams to low 
beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control 
can be turned on or off by selecting or dese -
lecting “Auto High Beam” within Uconnect 
Settings  Ú page 129, as well as turning the 
headlight switch to the AUTO position.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and 
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will 
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to 
the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc -
tions on the windshield or camera lens will 
cause the system to function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head -
lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must 
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See 
a local authorized dealer.

ignition is placed in the OFF position while the 
headlight switch is on, and then the headlight 
switch is cycled off within 45 seconds. Headlight 
delay can be canceled by either turning the 
headlight switch on then off, or by placing the
