Rear Seat Power Folding Seatbacks —
If Equipped
If the vehicle is equipped with third row seating, the
second and third rows may be equipped with
power folding seatbacks.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located in
the right rear trim panel inside the cargo area, as
part of a switch bank.
NOTE:
You may need to move the front seats forward to
allow the second row seats to fold properly, as
they may bump into the Rear Seat Entertain -
ment touchscreens (if equipped).
The third row seat belts may interfere with the
power folding of the seat. Place the seat belt
webbing behind the stow clip before stowing or
opening the seat. When the seat is in the
desired position, remove the webbing from the
stow clip so that it is ready for use. Never leave
the seat belt in the stow clip when it is used to
restrain an occupant.
The head restraints will lower automatically as
necessary when the power seat begins to move
when the vehicle is in PARK, and a rear door or
the liftgate is open.
The rear switch bank allows multiple power folding
positions for the second and third row seats. The
second row seats can be folded using these
switches, while the third row can be folded or
unfolded.

Rear Panel Power Switch Bank
There are also power folding switches for the third
row seats located on the C-pillar (just behind the
rear doors on the trim panels).

which are located in the upper outer corner of each
mirror.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal indicators, which
flash with the corresponding turn signal lights in
the front and rear of the vehicle. Turning on the
Hazard Warning flashers will also activate these
LEDs.
The fourth LED supplies illuminated entry lighting,
which turns on in both mirrors when you use the
key fob or open any door. This LED shines outward
to illuminate the front and rear door handles. It
also shines downward to illuminate the area in
front of the doors.
The illuminated entry lighting fades to off after

once the ignition is placed into the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:The approach lighting will not function when the
gear selector is moved out of the PARK position.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside
convex mirror will look smaller and farther away
than they really are. Relying too much on side
convex mirrors could cause you to collide with
another vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in a side convex mirror.

panel to switch the headlights to high beams.
Pulling the multifunction back toward the steering
wheel will turn the low beams back on, or shut the
high beams off.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlight system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of a
digital camera mounted on the inside rearview
mirror. 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 Headlight system can
be turned on or off by selecting or deselecting
“Auto Dim High Beams” within Uconnect
Settings Ú page 204.
The headlight switch must also be turned to the
AUTO position after Automatic High Beams is
enabled within Uconnect Settings for the
feature to activate.
Automatic High Beams will only activate when
the vehicle speed is above 22 mph (35 km/h).
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.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam
Headlight Control mirror is replaced, the mirror
must be re-aimed to ensure proper performance.
See a local authorized dealer.
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
This system automatically turns the headlights on
or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the
system on, rotate the headlight switch
counterclockwise 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. The headlight time delay can be
programmed to 0/30/60/90 seconds within the
Uconnect system Ú
page 204.
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.
PARKING LIGHTS AND PANEL 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: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.

wipers are operated by rotating a switch, located
on the end of the lever.

Multifunction Lever

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch
within the wiper lever. Rotate the switch at the end
of the lever upward, to the first detent past the
intermittent settings for low-speed wiper
operation. Rotate the switch at the end of the lever
upward to the second detent past the intermittent

of the lever to select the desired delay interval.
There are four delay settings, which allow you to
regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every second to a maximum of approximately
36 seconds between cycles. The delay intervals
will double in duration when the vehicle speed is
10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
NOTE:If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward toward
you and hold. If the lever is pulled while on the
intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on and
operate for several wipe cycles after the lever is
released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected. If the lever is pulled
while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers
will operate several cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 20 seconds.
Once the switch is released the pump will
resume normal operation.
If the front window washer feature is activated,
all of the front cameras (if equipped) on the
vehicle will be washed as well.
