EXTERIOR LIGHTS
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of
the instrument panel. The headlight switch
controls the operation of the headlights, parking
lights, daytime running lights, fog lights and the
dimming of the instrument cluster and interior
lighting.

Headlight Switch
Turning on the headlights will illuminate the
instrument cluster and the controls located on the
instrument panel.NOTE:On vehicles sold in Canada, both the rear position
lights and Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn
on when the headlight switch is rotated to the
O (off) position.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), if enabled
through Uconnect Settings, will turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position and the
park brake is not applied.
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime
Running Lights will automatically deactivate
when the front fog lights are turned on.
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 BEAMS
To activate the high beam headlights, push the
multifunction lever forward (toward the front of the
vehicle), and an indicator will illuminate in the
instrument cluster display.
To deactivate the high beam headlights, pull the
multifunction lever rearward (toward the rear of
the vehicle).

High Beam And Turn Signal Controls

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 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:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off through Uconnect
Settings Ú page 123.
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.
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 the headlights on
or off according to ambient light levels. To turn the
system on, rotate the headlight switch clockwise to
the last detent (AUTO position) for automatic
headlight operation. To turn the automatic system
off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO
position.
NOTE:The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START
position before the headlights will come on in the
automatic mode.
Light Sensor
The light sensor is equipped with an infrared LED,
located on the windshield. It detects changes in
light intensity outside the vehicle, based on the
sensitivity of light set by using the menu on the
display or on the Uconnect system.
The higher the sensitivity, the lesser the amount of
external light required for controlling the lighting.
PARKING LIGHTS
Rotate the headlight switch to the first position to
turn on the parking lights. The parking light
indicator in the cluster will illuminate.
HEADLIGHT TIME DELAY
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds when leaving
your vehicle in an unlit area.
The time delay of the headlights is programmable
between 0, 30, 60 and 90 seconds within
Uconnect Settings Ú page 123.
Headlight Delay Activation
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in
the OFF position while the headlights are still on.
Then, turn off the headlights within two minutes.
The delay interval begins when the headlight
switch is turned off.
Headlight Delay Deactivation
The feature is disabled by turning on the
headlights, the parking lights or by placing the
ignition in the ON/RUN position.
If you shut off the lights before the ignition is
turned on, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:The lights must be turned off within two minutes of
placing the ignition in the OFF position to activate
this feature.

To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and push the fog
light button on the headlight switch. To turn off the
front fog lights, push the headlight switch a second
time or turn off the headlight switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
NOTE:
The fog lights will operate with the low beam
headlights or parking lights on. Selecting the
high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
The fog lights also function as cornering lights.
Therefore there will be times when only one light
is on.
If the ignition is placed in the OFF position with
the fog lights on, they will remain on when the
ignition is placed back in the ON/RUN position.
For vehicles sold in Canada, if the selector is
moved to the parking lights position and the
front fog lights are activated, the DRL will be
deactivated and the front parking lights will be
activated. Once the front fog lights are deacti -
vated, the DRL will be activated again.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down to
activate the turn signals. The arrows on each side
of the instrument cluster display flash to show
proper operation.
LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Lightly push the multifunction lever up or down,
without moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal will flash five times then automatically turn
off.
COURTESY LIGHTS/APPROACHING
L

the low beam, parking lights, and side marker lights for 25 seconds when the vehicle is unlocked.
The courtesy lights feature can be activated or
deactivated through the Uconnect Settings. When

activation of the lights is extended for 10 seconds.
The feature is disabled when the vehicle is locked
or when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position.

following conditions:
The dome light is disabled when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
The dome lights will turn off automatically when
the doors are locked.
The dome lights will automatically turn off after
approximately 15 minutes of inactivity to
