EXTERIOR LIGHTS
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel, next to the steering wheel.
The headlight switch controls the operation of the
headlights, parking lights, instrument panel
lights, instrument panel light dimming, interior
lights and rear fog lights. In addition, there are buttons for the ParkSense
system and Engine Stop/Start

Ú
page 81.
Headlight Switch
The instrument panel and the various controls on
the dashboard will be illuminated when the
exterior lights are turned on.
To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. When the headlight switch is
on, the parking lights, taillights, license plate light
and instrument panel lights are also turned on.
To turn off the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) (low intensity)
come on automatically whenever the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position, and the headlight
switch is turned to the position, and the dusk
sensor detects sufficient external light.
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).
The DRL can be activated/deactivated from the
radio system, by selecting the following functions
in sequence on the main MENU:
1. Settings
2. Lights
3. Daytime Running Lights

NOTE:
The Daytime Running Lights cannot be deacti -
vated in Canadian markets.
HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS
Push the multifunction lever towards the
instrument panel to switch the headlights to high
beams. The headlight switch must be turned to
the (AUTO) or (on) position.
The High Beam Indicator on the instrument
panel will illuminate when the high beams are on.
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.

Multifunction Lever
Pulling the multifunction lever back will turn the
low beams on.
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 to the (AUTO) position.

NOTE:
The function can only operate with the ignition
placed in the ON/RUN position.
To turn the automatic headlights off, turn the
headlight switch out of the (AUTO) position.
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 HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlights system
provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of
a 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 radio system,
and can only be activated with the light switch
turned to (AUTO).
If the high beam headlights are on, the blue icon/
indicator light will illuminate in the instrument
panel.
When the speed is higher than 25 mph (40 km/h)
and the function is active, the lights will turn off if
the multifunction lever 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 multifunction lever towards
the instrument panel), the icon/indicator light
will illuminate in the instrument panel, and the
high beam headlights will turn on constantly until
the speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) is
exceeded again, the automatic functioning is
reactivated. If the multifunction lever 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 heavy traffic areas,
the automatic functions remain disabled
independently of the vehicle’s speed.
The Automatic High Beam functionality may
also be influenced by:
• Reflections on road signs
• Dim headlights from oncoming traffic
• Poor weather conditions
• Presence of dirt or other obstructions on
the sensor
• Damage to the windshield
PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, rotate the headlight switch clockwise
to the position. All of the parking lights will turn
on for eight minutes, and opening the door
activates an audible warning.
To leave only the lights on one side (right/left)
illuminated, move the multifunction lever
(located on the left side of the steering wheel) to
the side that you want to remain on. With the
parking lights on, the indicator light on the
instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.

HEADLIGHT OFF DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Headlight
Off Delay” feature will leave the headlights on for
up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the
ignition is placed in the OFF position while the
headlight switch is on, and then the headlight
switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
canceled by either turning on the headlights or
side lights, or by placing the ignition in the ON
position.
The function can be activated from the radio
system by selecting the following functions in
sequence on the main menu:
1. Settings
2. Lights
3. Headlight Off Delay
REAR FOG LIGHT
The rear fog lights may be operated as desired
when visibility is poor due to fog. The rear fog light
button is integrated with the headlight switch.
Push the button to turn the rear fog lights on/
off.
The lights can be turned off by pushing the
button again or by turning the headlight switch to
the O (off) position and holding it there for a few
seconds.

NOTE:
The headlight switch must first be turned to the
parking lights or headlights position before the
rear fog light button can be pushed.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will remain off the next time the
engine is started.
ADAPTIVE FRONTLIGHT SYSTEM
(AFS F
UNCTION) — IF EQUIPPED
This is a system combined with Xenon headlights
(Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp if equipped) which
directs the headlights horizontally, and contin -
uously and automatically adapts them to the
driving conditions around bends or when
cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up the
road in the best way, taking into account the
speed of the vehicle and the bend or corner
angle, as well as the speed at which the steering
wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down to
activate the turn signals. The arrows on each side
of the instrument cluster flash to show proper
operation.
The or turn signal will blink on the
instrument panel.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Lightly push the lever up or down once, without
moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal will
flash five times then 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) — I
F 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 (on) or (auto). The SBL LEDs
activate when the speed is below 25 mph
(40 km/h) and the steering radius is below
0.3 miles (500 m).
This function can be activated/deactivated on
the radio system by selecting the following
functions in sequence on the main menu:
1. Settings
2. Lights
3. Cornering Lights
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control is
rotated to its farthest upward position. The glove
compartment light turns on automatically when
the glove compartment is opened and turn off
when it is closed. The door courtesy lights
illuminate when one of the front doors is opened,
and turn off when it is closed. The trunk courtesy
lights turn on automatically when the trunk is
opened and turn off when it is closed. All of these
lights turn on and off regardless of the ignition
status.
