DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The headlights or LED light bars on your vehicle will 
illuminate when the engine is started. This 
provides a constant lights on condition until the 
ignition is placed in the OFF position. If the parking 
brake is applied, the Daytime Running Lights 
(DRLs) will turn off.
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 Ucon -
nect system  Ú page 188.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights

controlling the high beams 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.
NOTE:Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and tail -
lights of vehicles in the field of view will cause 
headlights to remain on longer (closer to the 
vehicle). Also, dirt, film and other obstructions on 
the windshield or camera lens will cause the 
system to function improperly.

OPERATING TIPS 
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for 
suggested control settings for various weather 
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with 
a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper 
corrosion protection and to protect against engine 
overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to 
MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster 
performance, make sure the engine cooling 
system is functioning properly and the proper  amount, type, and concentration of coolant is 
used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode during 
Winter months is not recommended, because it 
may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage  
For information on maintaining the Climate Control 
system when the vehicle is being stored for an 
extended period of time, see  Ú
page 357.
Window Fogging 
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, 
rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the 
windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and increase 
the front blower speed. Do not use the 
Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods, 
as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of 
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as 
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may 
reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution 
box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter 
months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice, 
slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter  
The Climate Control system filters out dust and 
pollen from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to 
service your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced 
when needed.
Stop/Start System — If Equipped
While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system 
may automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin 
comfort. Customer settings will be maintained 
upon return to an engine running condition.
