The high beam headlights are turned off
by pushing the left stalk toward the
instrument panel again. The warning
light/icon
will switch off in the
instrument panel when the headlights
are successfully turned off.

headlights manually. The lights will
remain on as long as the stalk is pulled
back; once the stalk is released, the
lights will switch off again.
Automatic High Beam Headlights —
If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlights
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.
This function is enabled with the
Connect system, and can only be
activated with the light switch turned to
(AUTO).
If the high beam headlights are on, the
blue icon/warning light
will illuminate
in the instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 37 mph
(60 km/h) and the function is active, the
lights will switch off if the left stalk is
pushed again. When the speed is lower than 15 mph
(25 km/h) and the function is active, the
function switches the high beam
headlights off.
If the high beam headlights are
operated quickly again (pushing the left
stalk towards the instrument panel), the
warning light/icon
will switch on in
the instrument panel and the main
beam headlights will be switched on
constantly until the speed exceeds
37 mph (60 km/h).
When the speed of 37 mph (60 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic
functioning is reactivated.
If the left stalk is pushed again with the
Automatic High Beam Headlights
activated, the Automatic High Beam
Headlights function deactivates.
To deactivate the automatic headlight
function, rotate the headlight switch to
the
position.
Note: If the system recognizes inner
city travel, the automatic functions
remain disabled independently of the
vehicle’s speed.
Turn Signals
To activate the turn signals function,
move the left lever up or down until it
reaches the detent. Moving the lever
upward flashes the right turn signal and
moving the lever downward will flash
the left turn signal. The
orturn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
The turn signals turn off automatically
when the vehicle is brought back onto a
straight course.
“Lane Change” Function
Tap the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash five times.
Then, the turn signal (right or left) will
automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of
the cycle, move the lever in the
opposite direction until the first click
(about half way).
Static Bending Light
Function (SBL) — If
Equipped
The SBL function utilizes Light Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) in order to better
illuminate the street and increase the
light angle while turning. This function is
enabled by rotating the light switch to
position
or(AUTO). The SBL
LEDs activate when the speed is below
25 mph (40 km/h).
This function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system by
selecting the following functions in
sequence on the main menu:
“Settings”, “Lights” and “Cornering
Lights”.

Homelink — If Equipped
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and
home or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
