DRIVER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS —
IF EQUIPPED
The adjustable pedals system is designed to allow
a greater range of driver comfort for steering wheel
tilt and seat position. This feature allows the brake and accelerator pedals to move toward or away
from the driver to provide improved position with
the steering wheel.

side of the steering column.

Adjustable Pedals Switch

The pedals can be adjusted with the ignition in the

the system is locked out, the following messages
will appear (on vehicles equipped with an
instrument cluster display):
Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Cruise Control
Engaged
Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In Reverse
NOTE:
Always adjust the pedals to a position that
allows full movement of the pedal.
Further small adjustments may be necessary to
find the best possible seat/pedal position.
For vehicles equipped with Driver Memory
Settings, you can use your remote keyless entry
key fob or the memory switch on the driver’s
door trim panel to return the adjustable pedals
to saved positions Ú page 29.
WARNING!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head restraints
in a location outside the occupant compart -
ment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in
the vehicle to properly protect the occupants.
Follow the reinstallation instructions above
prior to operating the vehicle or occupying a
seat.

Do not adjust the pedals while the vehicle is
moving. You could lose control and have an
accident. Always adjust the pedals while the
vehicle is parked.
CAUTION!
Do not place any article under the adjustable
pedals or impede its ability to move, as it may
cause damage to the pedal controls. Pedal
travel may become limited if movement is
stopped by an obstruction in the adjustable

DIRECTIONAL LED HEADLAMP
S
YSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This is a system consisting of LED (low/high beam)
headlights that incorporate dynamic cornering with
5-degree inboard/15-degree outboard swivel. The
headlights continuously and automatically adapt
to the driving conditions around bends or when
cornering based on steering wheel angle.
The system directs the headlights to light up the
road in the best way, taking into account the speed
of the vehicle and the bend or corner angle, as well
as the speed of the vehicle while the steering
wheel is being turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is traveling above approximately
5 mph (8 km/h).
This system can be turned on/off through the
Uconnect Settings under “Steering Directed
Lights” Ú page 191.
PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel
lights, rotate the headlight switch clockwise. To
turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, the first headlight
switch position is the parking lights and instrument
panel lights position (instead of the OFF position).
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch to the AUTO position.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic
Headlights, it also has this
customer-programmable feature. When your
headlights are in the automatic mode and the
engine is running, they will automatically turn on
when the wiper system is on. This feature is
programmable through the Uconnect system
Úpage 191.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Rain Sensing
Wiper system Ú page 54, and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within
approximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers
completely stop.
NOTE:When your headlights come on during the daytime,
the instrument panel lights will automatically dim
to the lower nighttime intensity.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight
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 the headlight switch on
then off, or by placing the ignition in the ON
position.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system Ú page 191.
The headlight delay feature is automatically
activated if the headlight switch is left in the
AUTO position when the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are
left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position, a chime will sound and a message will
appear in the instrument cluster display when the
driver’s door is opened.

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Voltmeter
When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the
gauge indicates the electrical system
voltage. The pointer should stay within the
normal range if the battery is charged. If the
pointer moves to either extreme left or right
and remains there during normal driving,
the electrical system should be serviced.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, this
display shows the instrument cluster
display messages Ú page 81.
The display always shows one of the main
menu item after the ignition is placed on.
4. Oil Pressure Gauge
The pointer should always indicate the oil
pressure when the engine is running. A
continuous high or low reading under
normal driving conditions may indicate a
lubrication system malfunction. Immediate
service should be obtained from an autho -
rized dealer. 5. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Temperature Gauge
The gauge pointer shows engine coolant
temperature. The pointer positioned within
the normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, or when
towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal oper -
ating range. 7. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the
fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
 The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel
door is located.WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized
dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. If you
decide to look under the hood yourself, Follow
the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure
Cap paragraph Ú page 354.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the 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
