High/Low Beam Switch
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.
When the system is on, the Headlight Time
Delay feature is also on. This means your
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds
after the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
To turn the Automatic System off, turn the
headlight switch counterclockwise to the O (off)
position.

STARTING AND OPERATING233
If the transmission becomes extremely hot, the
“Transmission Temperature Warning Light” will
illuminate, a warning message will appear in the
instrument cluster, and the transmission may
operate differently until the transmission cools
down.
During cold temperatures, transmission
operation may be modified depending on
engine and transmission temperature as well
as vehicle speed. This feature improves warm
up time of the engine and transmission to
achieve maximum efficiency. Engagement of
the torque converter clutch, and shifts into 8th
or 9th gear, are inhibited until the transmission
fluid is warm refer to the “Note” under “Torque
Converter Clutch” in this section. Normal
operation will resume once the transmission
temperature has risen to a suitable level.
LOW (L)
Use this range for engine braking when
descending very steep grades. In this range, the
transmission will downshift for increased
engine braking. To access the LOW position,
push down on the gear selector and rotate it
fully clockwise.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored
electronically for abnormal conditions. If a
condition is detected that could result in
transmission damage, Transmission Limp
Home Mode is activated. In this mode, the
transmission may operate only in a fixed gear,
or may remain in NEUTRAL. The Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. Limp
Home Mode may allow the vehicle to be driven
to an authorized dealer for service without
damaging the transmission.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK, if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL.
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds. 5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal
operation.
NOTE:
Even if the transmission can be reset, we
recommend that you visit an authorized dealer
at your earliest possible convenience. An autho -
rized dealer has diagnostic equipment to
assess the condition of your transmission. If the
transmission cannot be reset, authorized dealer
service is required.
Torque Converter Clutch
A feature designed to improve fuel economy
has been included in the automatic
transmission on your vehicle. A clutch within the
torque converter engages automatically at
calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly
different feeling or response during normal
operation in the upper gears. When the vehicle
speed drops or during some accelerations, the
clutch automatically disengages.

lightly push on the fuel filler door around the
perimeter to break the ice build up.

Take care to open both flappers with the
funnel to avoid spills.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
fuel containers on the ground while filling.

Replacing Exterior Bulbs
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps —
If Equipped
The headlamps contain a type of high voltage
discharge light source. High voltage can remain
in the circuit even with the headlamp switch off.
Because of this, you should not attempt to
service a HID headlamp light source yourself. If
an HID headlamp light source fails, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with HID headlamps,
when the headlamps are turned on, there is a
blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately 10
seconds, as the system charges.
Halogen Headlamps

1. Reach behind the headlamp housing to
access the headlamp bulb cap.

2. Firmly grasp the headlamp bulb cap and rotate it counterclockwise to unlock it.
