Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada)

NOTE:Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a head -
light switch with an AUTO and ON detent but
without an OFF detent. Headlights will be deacti -
vated when the headlight switch is placed in the
parking lights position. However, the Daytime
Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along with
the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first
detent for parking lights and instrument panel light
operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second detent for headlights, parking lights, and
instrument panel light operation.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise from the parking lights and
instrument panel light position to the first detent to
turn on headlights, parking lights, and instrument
panel light. Rotate the headlight switch to the
second detent for the AUTO position.

while the vehicle’s transmission is in any position
(automatic transmission), or when the vehicle
begins to move (manual transmission).
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will auto -
matically deactivate when the front fog lights
are turned on.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may deactivate, 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
The High/Low Beam switch is located within the
multifunction lever on the left side of the steering
wheel. High beam headlights can be used for
improved visibility in low lit areas when there is no
oncoming traffic. Otherwise, it is recommended to
use the low beam headlights to reduce glare to
other vehicles.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at night
by automatically controlling the high beams
through the use of a camera mounted on the

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
The Flash-To-Pass feature will illuminate the high
beam headlights temporarily to signal another
vehicle of a passing occurrence. Pull and hold the
Multifunction Lever to activate the Flash-To-Pass
feature. When the lever is released, the
