40GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)

NOTE:Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF
detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the headlight
switch is placed in the parking lights position. However,
the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along
with the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
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.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise from the parking lights and instrument panel
lights position to the first detent to turn the headlight
switch to the AUTO position. Rotate to the second detent
to turn on headlights, parking lights, and instrument panel
lights operation.
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.

Multifunction Lever

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights will turn on when the engine
is started and will remain on unless the headlamps are
turned to the on position, the parking brake is applied, or
the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
 For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running
Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog
lights are turned on. 
If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased, the Daytime Running Lights can be turned
on and off using the Uconnect system
Úpage 107.
 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).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. Pulling the
multifunction lever back will turn the low beams on.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — 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 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:
 The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect system
Úpage 107.
 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 obstructions on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function improperly.

2 — Push Fog Light Control
3 — Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
4 — Ambient Light Dimmer Control

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE41
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See a local authorized
dealer.
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.
NOTE:If the multifunction lever is held in the flash-to pass
position for more than 20 seconds, the high beams will
shut off.
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 counterclockwise to the AUTO
position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay feature is
also on. This means the headlights will stay on for up to
90 seconds after you place the ignition into the OFF
position. To turn the automatic headlights off, turn the
headlight switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights will
come on in the automatic mode.
PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel lights,
rotate the headlight switch clockwise. To turn off the
parking lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the O
(off) position.
NOTE:Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF
detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the headlight
switch is placed in the parking lights position. However,
the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along
with the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS WITH WIPERS
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic Headlights, it
also has this customer-programmable feature. When your
headlights are in the automatic mode and the engine is
running, they will automatically turn on when the wiper
system is on. This feature is programmable through the
Uconnect system
Úpage 107.
In addition, the headlights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off if they were turned on by this feature.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight 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 within 45 seconds.
Headlight delay can be canceled by either turning the
headlight switch on then off, or by placing the ignition in
the ON position.
NOTE:
 This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system Úpage 107.
 If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they
will turn off in the normal manner.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is placed in the OFF position, the vehicle will chime when
the driver's door is opened.

Replacing Exterior Bulbs
LOW BEAM HEADLAMP, HIGH BEAM
HEADLAMP — MODELS WITH HALOGEN
HEADLAMPS — IF EQUIPPED
See the following steps to replace:

1. Open the hood.

Headlamp Assembly Dust Cap Location

NOTE:Removal of the air cleaner filter housing may be necessary
prior to replacing bulbs in the headlamp assembly on the
driver side of the vehicle. 2. Remove the large dust cap from the headlamp
housing by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Turn the bulb counterclockwise, and remove.

Headlamp Location

4. Disconnect the bulb from the socket assembly and install the replacement bulb.
5. Reinstall the bulb and socket assembly into the headlamp assembly, and then turn it clockwise. 6. Reinstall the access cap making sure it is seated into
the housing and turn cap clockwise to engage locking
lugs. Visually, you should be unable to see the blue
O-ring gasket. The access cap should be uniformly
seated and you should not be able to pull the access
cap off without turning it counterclockwise.
CAUTION!
Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil
contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb
comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the bulb
with rubbing alcohol.
CAUTION!
If the access cap is not installed correctly after bulb
replacement, the lamp becomes susceptible to dust,
condensation, and water intrusion. This may ultimately
lead to an inoperative lamp. If the access cap cannot
be installed correctly, please return to an authorized
dealer for proper repair or access cap replacement if
necessary.
