LIGHT CONTROLS
1AUTO: If equipped, rotate the end of the
lever to set your headlights to
automatically turn on or off, depending
on the level of light outside. When in the
“AUTO” position, the headlights will
automatically turn on when the
windshield wipers operate several times.
NOTE: The sensitivity of the automatic
headlights can be adjusted through the
STARLINK
®multimedia display.
2 Parking Lights: Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights.
3 Headlights: Rotate the end of the lever to turn on the headlights, instrument panel
illumination, parking lights, side marker lights, tail lights, and license plate lights. To
flash the headlights, pull the lever toward you, then release. The high beams will stay
on as long as you hold the lever.
4 High Beams: Push the lever forward to change from low beam to high beam. When
set to the “AUTO” position, pushing the lever forward also activates the High Beam
Assist (HBA) system, if equipped. Pull the lever back to center to return to low beam.
5 Fog Lights: If equipped, rotate the dial to turn on the fog lights when the headlights
are on low beams in the “
” or “AUTO” position.
Illumination Brightness
When the light controls are on (in the
,, or “AUTO” position), and
ambient light is low, rotating the
illumination brightness dial on the
instrument panel upward will make
the instrument panel illumination
brighter. When the dial is fully
rotated upward (dots aligned), the
instrument panel illumination stays
at full brightness. Rotating the dial
downward dims the instrument
panel illumination.
When the ambient light is bright, the
illumination brightness is set to the
maximum regardless of the position
of the control dial.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your
Owner’s Manual.
