DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch yourheadlamps on in low light situationsor during inclement weather. Thesystem does not activate the tail lampsand may not provide adequate lightingduring these conditions. Failure to activateyour headlamps under these conditionsmay result in a collision.
The system switches the low beamheadlamps on at a reduced intensity indaylight conditions.
To switch the system on, switch theignition on, and switch the lighting controlto the off, autolamp or parking lampposition.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on yourhigh beams if it is dark enough and no othertraffic is present. When it detects theheadlights of an approaching vehicle, thetail lamps of the preceding vehicle or streetlighting, the system will turn off the highbeams before they distract other drivers.The low beams remain on.
Note:If it appears that automatic controlof the high beams is not functioningproperly, check the windshield in front ofthe camera for a blockage. A clear view ofthe road is required for proper systemoperation. Have any windshield damage inthe area of the camera’s field-of-viewrepaired.
Note:If the system detects a blockage suchas bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,and you do not observe changes, the systemwill go into low beam mode until you clearthe blockage. A message may also appearin the instrument cluster display noting thefront camera is blocked.
Note:Typical road dust, dirt and waterspots will not affect the performance of theautomatic high beam system . However, incold or inclement weather conditions, youwill notice a decrease in the availability ofthe high beam system, especially at startup. If you want to change the beam stateindependently of the system, you mayswitch the high beams on or off using themultifunction switch. Automatic control willresume when conditions are correct.
Note:Modification of the vehicle ride heightsuch as using much larger tires, maydegrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mountedbehind the windshield of your vehicle,continuously monitors conditions to decidewhen to switch the high beams off and on.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The headlamps on your vehicle areproperly aimed at the assembly plant. Ifyour vehicle has been in an accident, thealignment of your headlamps should bechecked by your authorized dealer.
Headlamp Aiming Target
8 feet (2.4 meters)A
Center height of lamp to groundB
25 feet (7.6 meters)C
Horizontal reference lineD
Vertical Aim Adjustment Procedure
1.Park the vehicle directly in front of awall or screen on a level surface,approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters)away.
2.Measure the height of the headlampbulb center from the ground and markan 8 foot (2.4 meter) horizontalreference line on the vertical wall orscreen at this height.
Note:To see a clearer light pattern foradjusting, you may want to block the lightfrom one headlamp while adjusting theother.
3.Turn on the low beam headlamps toilluminate the wall or screen and openthe hood.
4.On the wall or screen you will observea flat zone of high intensity lightlocated at the top of the right handportion of the beam pattern. If the topedge of the high intensity light zone isnot at the horizontal reference line, theheadlamp will need to be adjusted.

11.Carefully lift the headlamp andremove it from the vehicle.
12.Disconnect the electrical connector.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented toaccommodate normal changes in pressure.Condensation can be a natural by-productof this design. When moist air enters thelamp assembly through the vents, there isa possibility that condensation can occurwhen the temperature is cold. Whennormal condensation occurs, a thin film ofmist can form on the interior of the lens.The thin mist eventually clears and exitsthrough the vents during normal operation.Clearing time may take as long as 48 hoursunder dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, dripmarks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture(usually caused by a lamp water leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks orstreaks present on the interior of thelens.
Take your vehicle to an authorized dealerfor service if any of the above conditionsof unacceptable moisture are present.
