GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE51
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic head -
light and fog light (if equipped) lenses that
are lighter and less susceptible to stone
breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not as
scratch resistant as glass and therefore
different lens cleaning procedures must be
followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid
wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt,
wash with a mild soap solution followed by
rinsing.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) come on
whenever the engine is running, and the
transmission is not in the PARK position. The lights will remain on until the ignition is
placed in the OFF or ACC position, or the parking
brake is engaged. The headlight switch must be
used for normal night time driving.
NOTE:
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, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa
-
tion.
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 back
toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
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 on the
inside rearview mirror. 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 or dese -
lecting “Auto High Beam” within your Ucon -
nect settings, as well as turning the headlight
switch to the AUTO position. Refer to “Ucon -
nect 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
obstructions on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function
improperly.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive
materials to clean the lenses.

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 time 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. The headlight
time delay can be programmed 0/30/60/
90 seconds.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.

clockwise. To turn off the parking lights, rotate
the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHTS ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH
W
IPERS
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.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
NOTE:
When your headlights come on during the
daytime, the vehicle will monitor outside bright -
ness and decide if the instrument panel needs
to be dimmed or not. Refer to “Interior Lights” in
this chapter for further information.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 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 the headlight switch on then off, or by
placing the ignition in the ON position.
NOTE:
The headlight delay time is programmable
through the Uconnect System. Refer to “Ucon -
nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor -
mation.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position, a chime will sound when the driver’s

the headlight switch is rotated to the off
position, or the high beam is selected.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster will 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 defec -
tive outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to
light when the lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
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.
BATTERY SAVER
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load
shedding is provided for both the interior and
exterior lights.
If the ignition is placed in the OFF position and
any door is left ajar for 10 minutes or the
dimmer control is rotated all the way up to the
dome on position for 10 minutes, the interior
lights will automatically turn off.
NOTE:
Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition is
in the ON position.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the exterior lights will
automatically turn off after eight minutes. If the
headlights are turned on and left on for eight
minutes while the ignition is in the OFF position,
the exterior lights will automatically turn off.
