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 165.
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 for automatic headlight operation.
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.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight
delay feature will leave the headlights on for up to
90 seconds.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in
the OFF position while the headlights are still on.
Then, turn off the headlights within 45 seconds.
The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off. Headlight delay can be cancelled by either turning
the headlights or parking lights on, or placing the
ignition in the ON/RUN position.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition,
they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds
of placing the ignition in the OFF position to acti
-
vate this feature. If the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position prior to placing the ignition in the
OFF position, there is no need to turn the head-
light switch to off to activate Headlight Delay.
The headlight delay timing is programmable
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 165.
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.

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

Fog Light Switch
Fog Light Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and push the fog
light button. To turn off the front fog lights, either
push the fog lights button 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 head
-
lights or parking lights on. However, selecting the
high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
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.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defec -
tive outside light bulb.
A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the
instrument cluster display and a continuous
chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more
than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Lightly push the multifunction lever up or down,
without moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal will flash five times then automatically turn
off.
BATTERY SAVER FEATURE
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off
automatically 15 minutes after the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are on
because a door is open.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
INTERIOR COURTESY LIGHTS
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the
front doors are opened, or when the dimmer
control is rotated to its farthest upward position.
The front map/reading lights are turned on by the
switches in the center of the overhead console.

in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If
the light remains on with the vehicle running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an
authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
NOTE:This light may turn on if the accelerator and brake
pedals are pressed at the same time.
If the light continues to flash when the vehicle is
running, immediate service is required and you
may experience reduced performance, an
elevated/rough idle, or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing. The light will come on
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position
and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light

STARTING AND OPERATING105
In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB
system, a yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate. This
may be accompanied by the Brake Warning Light
flashing. In this event, urgent service of the EPB
system is required. Do not rely on the parking
brake to hold the vehicle stationary.
Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied
automatically whenever the vehicle speed is below
1.9 mph (3 km/h) and the transmission is placed
in PARK. Auto Park Brake is enabled and disabled
by customer selection through the Customer
Programmable Features section of the Uconnect
Settings Ú page 165.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be
bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the release
position while the transmission is placed in PARK
and the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that
will engage the parking brake automatically if the
vehicle is left unsecured while the ignition switch is
in ON/RUN. For automatic transmissions, the EPB will
automatically engage if all of the following
conditions are met:
Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
There is no attempt to press the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal.
The seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver’s door is open.
The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing
the EPB switch while the driver’s door is open and
the brake pedal is pressed. Once manually
bypassed, SafeHold will be enabled again once the
vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition
is turned to the OFF position and back to ON/RUN
again.
Auto Hold — If Equipped
Auto Hold is a comfort feature that allows the
driver to remove their foot from the brake pedal
once the vehicle has come to a stop. The vehicle
must be held at a standstill for a predetermined
amount of time by hydraulic braking. The EPB will
then engage and continue to hold the vehicle at a
stop until the driver applies the accelerator pedal. Auto Hold can be activated or deactivated by
pushing the HOLD button located on the switch
bank.

Auto Hold Switch

The following conditions must be met for Auto Hold
to activate:
Driver’s door is closed
Driver's seat belt is fastened
Vehicle is at a standstill
Forward gear is selected
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is not engaged
EPB is not applied
ParkSense Active Park Assist System auto
parking maneuver is not activated
