High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever, located on the
left side of the steering wheel, away from you
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 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 multifunction lever must be in the
high beam position in order to activate the
Automatic High Beams.
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp
Control can be turned on or off using the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in your Owner’s
Manual for further information.When set to AUTO, the system automatically
turns the headlights on or off based on
ambient light levels.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc
-
tion 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 head -
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
operation. When the system is on, the head -
light time delay feature is also on. This
means the headlights will stay on for up to
90 seconds after the ignition is placed in the
OFF position. To turn the automatic system
off, move the headlight switch out of the
AUTO position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head -
lights will come on in the automatic mode.

must be in the OFF position. Turn the head -
light switch to the “P” position. Then move
the multifunction lever up or down to turn on
the left or right side parking lights.

will turn on after the wipers are turned on if
the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO
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.
NOTE:
The Headlights On with Wipers feature can
be turned on or off using the Uconnect
System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.

Adaptive Bi-Xenon High Intensity
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 “Multi -
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
Headlight Time Delay

This feature provides the safety of headlight illu -
mination for up to 90 seconds (programmable)
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 head
-
light switch in the AUTO position while the
ignition 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 igni -
tion, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE:
The lights must be turned off within 45
seconds 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.

on, and a second time to turn them off.

An indicator light in the instrument cluster illu-
minates when the fog lights are turned on.

Turn Signals

the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper oper -
ation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not

check for a defective LED turn signal in
the headlamp. Please see an authorized
dealer for service.
When the Daytime Running Lights are on
and a turn signal is activated, the Daytime
Running Lamp will turn off on the side of
the vehicle in which the turn signal is
flashing. The Daytime Running Lamp will
turn back on when the turn signal is
turned off.
Automatic Headlight Leveling — HID
Headlights Only
This feature prevents the headlights from
interfering with the vision of oncoming
drivers. Headlight leveling automatically
adjusts the height of the headlight beam in
reaction to changes in vehicle pitch.
Battery Saver
To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery,
load shedding is provided for both the inte -
rior and exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar
for 10 minutes or the dimmer control is
rotated all the way up to the dome on posi -
tion for 10 minutes, the interior lights will
automatically turn off. NOTE:
Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition
is ON.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition
is placed in the OFF position, the exterior
lights will automatically turn off after eight
minutes. If the 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.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current govern -
ment regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag -
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drive -
able and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
