 Press the mirror dimmer button once to turn the
feature on.
 Press the mirror dimmer button a second time to turn
the feature off.
NOTE:In some cases, there may not be a button. If there is no
power button, the mirror will be in default auto dimming
mode.
ILLUMINATED VANITY MIRRORS
An illuminated vanity mirror is on each sun visor. To use
the mirror, rotate the sun visor down and swing the mirror
cover upward. The lights will turn on automatically. Closing
the mirror cover will turn off the light.

Illuminated Vanity Mirror

Sun Visor Slide-On-Rod Feature
The sun visor Slide-On-Rod feature allows for additional
flexibility in positioning the sun visor to block out the sun.

1. Fold down the sun visor.

2. Unclip the visor from the corner clip.
3. Pull the sun visor toward the inside rearview mirror to
extend it.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s)
to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight
overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror.
NOTE:The passenger side convex outside mirror will give a much
wider view to the rear, and especially of the lane next to
your vehicle.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during cleaning, never
spray any cleaning solution directly onto the mirror.
Apply the solution onto a clean cloth and wipe the
mirror clean.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side convex mirrors
could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex mirror.

is started and remain on unless the headlamps are turned
on, the parking brake is applied, or the ignition is placed in
the OFF position.
NOTE:
 For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running
Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog
lights are turned on.
 If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased, the Daytime Running Lights can be turned
on and off using the Uconnect system
Úpage 126.
 On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automatically controlling the high beams through the use
of a 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 is
enabled through the Uconnect system Úpage 126.
 The multifunction lever must be in the high beam posi -
tion and the low beams must be turned on in order to
activate the Automatic High Beams.
 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 obstructions on the windshield or camera
lens will cause the system to function improperly.
 When set to AUTO, and the low beams are on and the
multifunction lever is in the high beam position, the
system automatically turns the high beams on or off
based on light levels of the approaching vehicles.
 Vehicle speed must be greater than 22 mph (35 km/h)
to activate Automatic High Beams. Once activated,
Automatic High Beams will remain on until the speed
falls below 15 mph (25 km/h).
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 to the AUTO position for
automatic headlight operation. When the system is on, the
headlight time delay feature is also on. This means the
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds (depending on
customer programmable time of 30, 60, or 90 seconds)
after you place the ignition in the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight switch out of the
