The fog lights will operate only when the parking lights are
on, or when the vehicle headlights are on low beam. An
indicator light located in the instrument cluster display will
illuminate when the fog lights are on. The fog lights will
turn off when the button is pushed a second time, when
the headlight switch is rotated to the off position, or the
high beam is selected.
Cornering Lights
The cornering lights are a feature to improve visibility at
night while turning the vehicle. When activated, a light
incorporated in the front fog light will illuminate on the
side of the vehicle the steering wheel is rotated or the turn
signal indicator is on. It can be activated through the
Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster will flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
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 — IF EQUIPPED
Tap the multifunction lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
BATTERY SAVER
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load shedding
is provided for both the interior and exterior lights.
If the ignition is placed in the OFF position and any door is
left ajar for 10 minutes or if the overhead console Dome
ON switch is pressed, and the interior lights are on for
10 minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off.
NOTE:Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition is in the
ON position.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is placed in
the OFF position, the exterior lights will automatically turn
off after eight minutes. If the headlights are turned on and
left on for eight minutes while the ignition is in the OFF
position, the exterior lights will automatically turn off.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
COURTESY LIGHTS
Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or the Dome ON button is pushed on the
overhead console. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote
Keyless Entry and the unlock button is pushed on the key
fob, the courtesy and dome lights will turn on. When a door
is open and the interior lights are on, pressing the Dome
Defeat button on the overhead console will cause all of the
interior lights to turn off. This allows the doors to stay open
for extended periods of time without discharging the
vehicle’s battery.

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.
Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the MIST position and release for a single
wiping cycle.
NOTE:The Mist feature does not activate the washer pump;
therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the wind -
shield. The washer function must be used in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement, see
Úpage 324.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of the
windshield wiper lever to one of the four detent positions
to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system is adjustable from the
windshield wiper lever. Wiper sensitivity position 1 is the
least sensitive, and wiper sensitivity position 4 is the most
sensitive.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when the
wiper switch is in the low or high position.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function properly
when ice or dried saltwater is present on the wind -
shield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone may reduce
rain sensor performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and off
through the Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
The Rain Sensing system has protective features for the
wiper blades and arms. It will not operate under the
following conditions:
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing
feature will not operate when the ignition is first placed
in the ON position, when the vehicle is stationary and
the outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless
the wiper control on the windshield wiper lever is
moved, the vehicle speed becomes greater than 3 mph
(5 km/h) or the outside temperature rises above
freezing.
Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature will not
operate when the ignition is ON, when the transmission
gear selector is in the NEUTRAL position and the
vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h), unless the
wiper control on the windshield wiper lever is moved,
the vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) or
the gear selector is moved out of the NEUTRAL posi -
tion.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped with
the Remote Start system, Rain Sensing wipers are not
operational when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode. Once the operator is in the vehicle and has
placed the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, rain
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the
defroster before and during windshield washer use.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the front climate control
display, and the word “AUTO” will illuminate along
with two temperatures for the driver and front
passenger. The system will then automatically
regulate the amount of airflow.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain, by adjusting the driver, passenger, and rear
temperatures. Once the desired temperature is
displayed, the system will achieve, and automatically
maintain, that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You will
experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing
the system to function automatically.
NOTE:It is not necessary to move the temperature settings. The
system automatically adjusts the temperature, mode, and
fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as possible. To provide you with maximum comfort in the automatic
mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will remain on
low until the engine warms up. The fan will engage
immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by
changing the front blower setting.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The AUTO symbol in the front climate control
display will no longer be illuminated when the system is

“Set the passenger temperature to 70 degrees”
Did You Know: Voice Command for Climate may only be
used to adjust the interior temperature of your vehicle.
Voice Command will not work to adjust the heated seats
or steering wheel if equipped.
OPERATING TIPS
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested
control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against engine overheating. OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling system is
functioning properly and the proper amount, type, and
concentration of coolant is used. Use of the Air
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not
recommended, because it may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control system
when the vehicle is being stored for an extended period of
time, see
Úpage 368.
CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Rear Climate Control system
through an intake grille, located in the right side trim
panel behind the third row seats. The heater outlets are
located in the right side trim panel, just behind the rear
doors. Do not block or place objects directly in front of
the inlet grille or heater outlets. The electrical system
could overload causing damage to the blower motor.
