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.
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” 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.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the opera-
tion of the turn signals, headlight beam se-
lection and passing lights. The multifunction
lever is located on the left side of the steering
column.
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the right
side of the instrument panel. The switch
controls the operation of headlights, auto-
matic headlights - if equipped, front and rear
fog lights - if equipped, as well as headlight
leveling - if equipped.

3 — Push Front Fog
4 — Rotate Headlight
5 — Push Rear Fog
33

Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the
first detent for parking light and instrument
panel light operation. Rotate the headlight
switch to the second detent for headlight,
parking light and instrument panel light op-
eration.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) —
If Equipped
The Daytime Running Lights will turn on
when the engine is started and remain on
unless the headlamps are turned on or the
ignition is turned OFF.
NOTE:
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. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further details.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the in-
strument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction lever
back toward the steering wheel will return the
lights to low beams.
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
detects vehicle specific light and automati-
cally switches from high beams to low beams
until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
• The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Con-
trol can be turned on or off using the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.• 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 func-
tion improperly.
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
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 after you place the
ignition into the OFF position. To turn the
automatic system off, move the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
34

NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head-
lights will come on in the automatic mode.
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.
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. If the
headlight switch is in the AUTO position
prior to turning the ignition OFF, there is no
need to turn the headlight switch to off to
activate Headlight Delay.
• The headlight delay time is programmable
using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual for further details.
Lights-On Reminder — If Equipped
If the headlights or parking lights are on after
the ignition is in the OFF position, a chime
will sound to alert the driver when the driver's
door is opened.
NOTE:
Leaving the headlights, or parking lights, on
after the ignition is in the OFF position (when
the vehicle is not equipped with the
Lights-On Reminder feature) may result in
vehicle battery discharge.
Front And Rear Fog Lights — If Equipped
The fog light switches are built into the head-
light switch.
To activate the front fog lights, push the
upper half of the headlight switch. To turn off
the front fog lights, push the upper half of the
headlight switch a second time.
NOTE:
To activate the front fog lights, the parking
lights or low beam headlights must first be
activated.
To activate the rear fog lights, push the lower
half of the headlight switch. To turn off the
rear fog lights, push the lower half of the
headlight switch a second time.
NOTE:
To turn on the rear fog lights, the low beam
headlights or front fog lights must first be
active. If the vehicle is only equipped with
rear fog lights, only a single button will be
available in the center of the headlight
switch. Push once to turn the rear fog lights
on, and a second time to turn them off.

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 automatic transmis-
sion control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as
well as 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 drivable
and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
