detent for headlight, parking light and
instrument panel light operation.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)
The LED Daytime Running Lights will come on
when the engine starts, headlights are off, and
the parking brake is off. The headlights must be
used for normal nighttime driving.
NOTE:
If allowed, by law, in the country in which the
vehicle was purchased, the DRLs can be
turned on and off using the Uconnect
System, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
"Multimedia" for further information.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam control through
the use of a digital camera mounted to 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.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off by selecting “ON”
under “Auto High Beam” within your
Uconnect settings, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.

Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to
the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc -
tions on the windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function improperly.

If the windshield is replaced, the camera must
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
a local authorized dealer.

TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display 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. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.

instrument cluster display and a continuous
chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more
than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on.

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.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
The interior lights come on when a door is
opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn
off automatically 10 minutes after the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. This will occur if the
interior lights were switched on manually or are
on because a door is open. The Battery
Protection also includes the glove compartment
light and the trunk light. To restore interior light
operation after automatic battery protection is
enabled (lights off), either place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position, or cycle the light switch.
COURTESY LIGHTS
The courtesy lights can be turned on by pushing
