GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes
in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. LIGHTING CONTROL

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
WARNING: The system does not
relieve you of your responsibility to drive
with due care and attention. You may
need to override the system if it does not
turn the high beams on or off. WARNING:
You may need to
override the system when approaching
other road users. WARNING:
You may need to
override the system during inclement
weather. WARNING:
Do not use the system
in poor visibility, for example fog, heavy
rain, spray or snow. WARNING:
The system may not
switch the high beams off if the lights of
oncoming vehicles are hidden by
obstacles, for example guard rails. WARNING: Inspect and replace the
windshield wiper blades regularly to
make sure the camera sensor has a clear
view. The windshield wiper blades must
be the correct length. The system is designed to turn the high
beams on if all of the following occur:
•
You switched the system on in the
information display.
• You set the lighting control to the
autolamps position.
• The ambient light level is low enough
that high beams are required.
• There is no traffic in front of your
vehicle.
• Your vehicle speed is greater than
approximately
32 mph (51 km/h).
The system is designed to turn the high
beams off if any of the following occur:
• You switch the system off in the
information display.
• You set the lighting control to any
position except autolamps.
• The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
• The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps or rear lamps.
• The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
• The system detects street lighting.
• The camera has reduced visibility.
• Your vehicle speed falls below
approximately
27 mph (44 km/h).
Note: High beam reactivation may be
delayed in certain curvy road situations.
Note: Using much larger tires or equipping
vehicle accessories such as snowplows can
modify your vehicle's ride height and
degrade automatic high beam control
performance.

Note:
You can only attempt to start the
engine for a limited amount of time before
the starting system temporarily disables. If
you exceed the starting time limit, a
message may appear and you cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least 15
minutes.
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
• Make sure the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure the parking brake is on.
• Make sure the transmission is in park
(P).
Starting the Engine
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
2. Turn the key to position III.
Note: The engine may continue cranking
for up to 15 seconds or until it starts.
Note: The engine takes longer to start at
lower temperatures. It may crank for several
seconds when very cold.
Failure to Start
If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Shift into park (P).
4. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.

0.
3. Apply the parking brake.
Stopping the Engine When Your
Vehicle is Moving WARNING:
Switching off the
engine when your vehicle is still moving
results in a significant decrease in
braking assistance. Higher effort is
required to apply the brakes and to stop
your vehicle. A significant decrease in
steering assistance could also occur. The
steering does not lock, but higher effort
could be required to steer your vehicle.
When you switch the ignition off, some
electrical circuits, for example airbags,
also turn off. If you unintentionally switch
the ignition off, shift into neutral (N) and
restart the engine.
1. Shift into neutral and use the brakes to
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
2. Shift into park (P).
3. Turn the key to position
0.
4. Apply the parking brake.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes WARNING:
Exhaust leaks may
