column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering col-
umn. The tilt/telescoping lever is located be-
low the steering wheel at the end of the
steering column.To unlock the steering column, push the
control handle downward (toward the floor).
To tilt the steering column, move the steering
wheel upward or downward as desired. To
lengthen or shorten the steering column, pull
the steering wheel outward or push it inward
as desired. To lock the steering column in
position, push the control handle upward
until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering
column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating ele-
ment that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only
one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel has been turned on, it will stay
on for an average of 80 minutes before auto-
matically shutting off. This time will vary
based on environmental temperatures. The
heated steering wheel can shut off early or
may not turn on when the steering wheel is
already warm.

located within the Uconnect system. You can
gain access to the control button through the
climate screen or the controls screen.

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the heated steering wheel can be pro-
grammed to come on during a remote start
through the Uconnect system. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of
any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.

to switch the headlights to high beam. Pull
the multifunction lever toward you to switch
the headlights back to low beam.
Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
— 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

beam position in order to activate the Au-
tomatic High Beams.

trol can be turned on or off using the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” in your Owner’s

tion lever toward you. This will cause the high
beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.

lights 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 op-
eration. When the system is on, the headlight
time delay feature is also on. This means the

lights will come on in the automatic mode.

position and programmable feature is set to
ON. In addition, the headlights will turn off
when the wipers are turned off if they were
turned on by this feature.

tem.

Discharge Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically swivels the head-
light beam pattern horizontally to provide
increased illumination in the direction the
vehicle is steering.NOTE:
• Each time the Adaptive Headlight System
is turned on, the headlights will initialize by
performing a brief sequence of rotations.
• The Adaptive Headlight System is active
only when the vehicle is moving forward.
The Adaptive Headlight System can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System,
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in the Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.
Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds (program-
mable) when leaving your vehicle in an unlit
area.
To activate the delay feature, place the igni-
tion in the OFF position while the headlights
are still on. Then, turn off the headlights
within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins
when the headlight switch is turned off.NOTE:
The headlight delay feature is automatically
activated if the customer leaves the headlight
switch in the AUTO position while the igni-
tion is placed in the OFF position.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights on,
or place the ignition in ACC or RUN, the
system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the
ignition, they will turn off in the normal
manner.
NOTE:
• The lights must be turned off within 45 sec-
onds of placing the ignition in the OFF
position to activate this feature.
• The headlight delay time is programmable
using the Uconnect System, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further information.

the ignition is in the OFF position, a chime
will sound to alert the driver when the driver's
door is opened.

headlights are turned on and left on for eight
minutes while the ignition is OFF, the exterior
lights will automatically turn off.
NOTE:
The battery saver mode is canceled if the
ignition is OFF and the headlamp switch is in
the park lamp position. The parking lamps
will remain on and drain the vehicle's battery.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are lo-
cated on the windshield wiper/washer lever
on the right side of the steering column. The
front wipers are operated by rotating a switch,
located on the end of the lever. For informa-
tion on the rear wiper/washer, refer to “Rear
Window Wiper/Washer” in this section.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
four detent positions for intermittent set-
tings, the fifth detent for low wiper operation
and the sixth detent for high wiper operation.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and
the blades cannot return to the “park”
position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with the
blades lifted from the windshield.
Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the lever rearward toward you and hold
for as long as spray is desired.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
