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, instru-
ment panel lights, instrument panel light dimming, inte-
rior lights, and fog lights.Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first detent
for parking light and instrument panel light operation.
Turn it to the second detent for headlight, parking light,
and instrument panel light operation.
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 counter-clockwise to the
AUTO (A) position. When the system is ON, the Head-
light Time Delay feature is also ON. This means the
headlights will stay ON for up to 90 seconds after you
turn the ignition switch OFF. To turn the Automatic
System OFF, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO
(A) position.

WARNING!
•Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is
not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the
driver ’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and
weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead, and most importantly brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your com-
plete attention is always required while driving to maintain
safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings
can result in an accident or serious personal injury.
•The ACC system:
Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and station-
ary objects (i.e. a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled
vehicle).
Does not predict the lane curvature or the movement of
preceding vehicles and will not compensate for such changes.
Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account,
and may be limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions,
which can result in wrong or missing distance warnings.
May not detect a vehicle ahead when strong light (for example,
sunrise or sunset) is directly shining on the front of the vehicle.
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking
capability, and will not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
•When driving in fog; heavy rain; heavy snow;
sleet; heavy traffic; and complex driving situa-
tions (i.e. in highway construction zones).
•When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp;
when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or
downhill slopes; and when towing a trailer.
•When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a
constant speed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in an
accident or serious personal injury.

•System off
•Proximity warning
•ACC unavailable/service ACC warning
The EVIC will return to the last display selected
after 5 seconds of no ACC activity.
Display Warnings & Maintenance
ACC Unavailable Warning
The ACC Unavailable Warning will display when condi-
tions temporarily limit system performance. This most
often occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow,
fog, heavy rain, or when driving into direct sunlight
(sunrise or sunset). The ACC system may also become
temporarily unavailable due to obstructions, such as dirt
or ice. In these cases, the EVIC will display “ACC
UNAVAILABLE.”If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. The sensor is located behind the grille,
slightly offset from the center of the grille.
