AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — 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 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:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off through Uconnect
Settings Ú page 123.
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.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights
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 HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns the headlights on
or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the
system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to
the last detent (AUTO position) for automatic
headlight operation. To turn the automatic system
off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO
position.
NOTE:The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START
position before the headlights will come on in the
automatic mode.
Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED,
located on the windshield. It detects changes in
light intensity outside the vehicle, based on the
sensitivity of light set by using the menu on the
display or on the Uconnect system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of
external light required for controlling the lighting.
PARKING LIGHTS
Rotate the headlight switch to the first position to
turn on the parking lights. The parking light
indicator in the cluster will illuminate.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds when leaving
your vehicle in an unlit area.
The time delay of the headlights is programmable
between 0, 30, 60 and 90 seconds within
Uconnect Settings Ú page 123.
Headlight Delay Activation
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in
the OFF position while the headlights are still on.
Then, turn off the headlights within two minutes.
The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off.
Headlight Delay Deactivation
The feature is disabled by turning on the
headlights, the parking lights or by placing the
ignition in the ON/RUN position.
If you shut off the lights before the ignition is
turned on, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:The lights must be turned off within two minutes of
placing the ignition in the OFF position to activate
this feature.

FRONT FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The front fog light switch is built into the headlight
switch.

Front Fog Light Switch

To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and push the fog
light button on the headlight switch. To turn off the
front fog lights, push the headlight switch a second
time or turn off the headlight switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
NOTE:
The fog lights will operate with the low beam
headlights or parking lights on. Selecting the
high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
The fog lights also function as cornering lights.
Therefore there will be times when only one light
is on.
If the ignition is placed in the OFF position with
the fog lights on, they will remain on when the
ignition is placed back in the ON/RUN position.
For vehicles sold in Canada, if the selector is
moved to the parking lights position and the
front fog lights are activated, the DRL will be
deactivated and the front parking lights will be
activated. Once the front fog lights are deacti -
vated, the DRL will be activated again.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down to
activate the turn signals. The arrows on each side
of the instrument cluster display flash to show
proper operation.

without moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal will flash five times then automatically turn
off.
COURTESY LIGHTS/APPROACHING
L
IGHTS

PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD
M
AKE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven
wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or
other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall.
Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the
lug nuts/bolt torque for tightness. Check the tires
(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight
parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.
Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should
be located and corrected immediately.
EXHAUST GAS
ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the
driver’s side floor area. To check for interfer -
ence, with the vehicle properly parked with the
engine off, fully depress the accelerator, the
brake, and the clutch pedal (if present) to
check for interference. If your floor mat inter -
feres with the operation of any pedal, or is not
secure to the floor, remove the floor mat from
the vehicle and place the floor mat in your
trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on
the passenger’s side floor area.
ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide
into the driver’s side floor area when the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become
trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch
pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle
control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor mat
(e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects could
change the position of the floor mat and may
cause interference with the accelerator,
brake, or clutch pedals.
WARNING!
If the vehicle carpet has been removed and
re-installed, always properly attach carpet to
the floor and check the floor mat fasteners are
secure to the vehicle carpet. Fully depress
each pedal to check for interference with the
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals then
re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap and
water to clean your floor mats. After cleaning,
always check your floor mat has been properly
installed and is secured to your vehicle using
the floor mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually poison you. To
avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined areas any longer than needed to
move your vehicle in or out of the area.
