EXTERIOR LIGHTS
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER

Multifunction Lever

The multifunction lever controls the operation of the
turn signals, headlight beam selection and passing lights.
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the
instrument panel. This switch controls the operation of the
headlights, parking lights, automatic headlights (if
equipped), instrument panel lights, and interior lights.

Headlight Switch

To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise. When the headlight switch is on, the parking
lights, taillights, license plate light and instrument panel
lights are also turned on.
The headlight switch is equipped with a momentary O (off)
detent. When the vehicle is at a standstill and the
headlight switch is held in the O (off) position, the Daytime
Running Lights (DRLs) will turn on. As soon as the vehicle
starts to move, the O (off) position is disabled and the
DRLs may turn off and low beam headlights may
automatically turn on based on exterior ambient
light levels. From the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise to the first detent for automatic headlights, the
second detent for parking lights and instrument panel
lights operation, or to the third detent for headlights,
parking lights, and instrument panel lights operation.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) (low intensity) come
on automatically whenever the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, and the headlight switch is turned to the
AUTO position, and the dusk sensor detects sufficient
external light.
NOTE:On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may deac -
tivate, 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 towards the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. The headlight
switch must first be turned to the AUTO or on position.
The high beam indicator will illuminate in the instrument
cluster when the high beams are active.
Push the lever forward again to return to low beam
headlights.

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.
 This function can only be activated with the headlight
switch in 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 obstructions 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 AUTO position.
When the system is on, the headlight time delay feature is
also on. This means the headlights will stay on for up to
90 seconds after you place the ignition into the OFF
position. To turn the automatic system off, move the
headlight switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights will
come on in the automatic mode.
HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH
W
IPERS — IF EQUIPPED
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.
NOTE:When your headlights come on during the daytime, the
vehicle will monitor outside brightness and decide if the
instrument panel needs to be dimmed.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a
headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for
approximately 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/RUN position.
NOTE:The headlight delay time is programmable through
Uconnect Settings Úpage 130.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is in the OFF position, a chime will sound to alert the driver
when the driver's door is opened.
CORNERING LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The cornering lights are a feature to improve visibility at
night while turning the vehicle. When activated, a light
incorporated in the headlight assembly will illuminate on
the side of the vehicle the steering wheel is rotated, or that
the turn signal indicator is on. It can be activated through
the Uconnect system
Úpage 130.

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.
Once the turn signal lever is activated, it will return to its
original position. To cancel the turn signal action, the lever
must be moved again or the turn in that direction must be
completed.
NOTE:If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light
bulb.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Lightly push the multifunction lever up or down, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal will flash
three times then automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of the cycle, move
the lever in the opposite direction until the first click
(about half way).
BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
To protect the battery, if the headlight switch is left in the
low beam or parking lights position when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the lights are deactivated after
eight minutes. The lights can also be turned off manually
by rotating the headlight switch to the O (off) position.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 15 minutes after the ignition is placed in the
OFF position, and no other activity in the vehicle has
occurred. This will occur if the interior lights were turned
on manually or are on because a door is open. This
includes the glove compartment light and the cargo area
light. To restore interior light operation, either place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position, or push the light switch on
and then back off.
Front Map Reading Lights
The front map/reading and overhead lights are mounted
in the overhead console. Each light can be turned on by
pushing the corresponding switch on the console. These
switches are backlit for nighttime visibility. To turn the
lights off, push the switch a second time.

Overhead Console

NOTE:
Before exiting the vehicle, ensure that the overhead lights
are off. This will prevent the battery from discharging once
the doors are closed. If a light is left on accidentally, the
overhead lights will turn off automatically approximately
15 minutes after the ignition has been placed in the
OFF position. 1 — Reading/Map Light Switch

indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
display in the instrument cluster display for five seconds
after a single chime has sounded, to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate, dependent upon
your personal driving style.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR (GSI) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The GSI system is enabled on vehicles with a manual
transmission, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The GSI provides
the driver with a visual indication when the recommended gear shift point has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel
consumption. When the up shift indicator is shown on the
instrument cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear. When the down shift indicator is
shown on the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver changes
gears, or the driving conditions return to a situation where
changing gear is not required to improve fuel
consumption.
