When the headlights are turned on, pushing the
multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
will switch from low beams to high beams.
Pulling back to the neutral position returns the
headlights to the low beam operation.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam 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.
NOTE:
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.
To Activate

1. Select “Automatic High Beams — ON” through the Uconnect system. Refer to
"Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.

2. Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the AUTO position.
3. Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch the headlights to the high beam
position. Refer to “Multifunction Lever” in
this section for further information.
NOTE:
This system will not activate until the vehicle is
at, or above 16 mph (25 km/h).
To Deactivate
Perform either of the following steps to
deactivate the Automatic High Beam system.

1. Select “Automatic High Beams — OFF” through the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.

2. Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the headlights from the high beam to
the low beam position. 3. Rotate the headlight switch counter
-
clockwise from the AUTO to the on position.
NOTE:
Once active, the Automatic High Beam system
will stop functioning below 12 mph (20 km/h).
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 Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns your headlights
on or off based on ambient light levels. To turn
the system on, turn the headlight switch to the
extreme clockwise position aligning the
indicator with the AUTO on the headlight switch.

The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch within the wiper lever. Rotate the switch
at the end of the lever upward, to the first detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed

the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation. To turn the windshield wipers off,
rotate the switch within the lever all the way
down to OFF.
Washer And Wiper Controls

NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the off position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle with a
variable pause between cycles desirable. Rotate
the switch at the end of the wiper lever to the first
detent position, and then turn the switch at the
end of the lever to select the desired delay
interval. There are four delay settings, which allow
you to regulate the wipe interval from a minimum
of one cycle every second to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles. The
delay intervals will double in duration when the
vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
