light time delay is active. After the ignition switch is
placed in the STOP mode, the headlights will automati-
cally turn off after approximately 90 seconds depending
on the settings of the feature.
The timing of the headlights is adjustable between 0, 30,
60 and 90 seconds. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the head-
