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).
If equipped, the DRLs 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

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/
warning 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 warning light/icon
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.

RAIN SENSING WIPERS
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers. The Rain Sensor is located behind the
interior rearview mirror.Rain Sensor
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of
four settings to activate this feature.
The sensor has an adjustment range that varies
progressively from wiper still (no stroke) when the
windshield is dry, to wiper at continuous speed
(fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3) activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is done
by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while the
switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain Sensing
position (3). The variation in sensitivity during rain sensor
operation is also signaled by a stroke of the wiper.
If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes its
normal automatic operation.

NOTE:
Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the wiper
switch or place the ignition in the OFF position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, whether or
not there is rain on the glass for as long as the
sensor failure is indicated on the display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windshield wiper to continuous mode
(1 or 2). The failure indication remains on for as
long as the sensor is active.
The rain sensor is able to recognize and automat
-
ically adjust itself in the presence of the following
conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface (e.g.
salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
Push the windshield wiper lever downward to
activate/deactivate continuous rear wiper
operation.
Push the windshield wiper lever towards the
instrument panel to activate the rear window
washer (a brief push activates one washing cycle,
keeping the stalk pushed washes continuously
until the stalk is released).
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with the
windshield wiper operating activates a single
cycle of the rear window wiper.
HEADLAMP WASHERS — IF EQUIPPED
The windshield wiper lever operates the headlight
washers when the ignition is in the ON position
and the headlights are turned on. To use the
headlight washers, pull the lever toward you and
release it. The headlight washers will spray a
timed high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the windshield
washers will spray the windshield and the
windshield wipers will cycle.

NOTE:
The headlight washers work on every tenth wash
cycle request.
