through the Uconnect system screen. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a “Rain Sensitive Wiper
System” and it is activated, the headlights will automati-
cally turn on after the wipers complete five wipe cycles
within approximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers completely
stop. Refer to “Windshield Wipers And Washers” in this
section for further information.
NOTE:When your headlights come on during the day-
time, the instrument panel lights will automatically dim
to the lower nighttime intensity.
Automatic High Beam — If Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by auto-
mating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This
camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the ap-
proaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
•
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” 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 function improperly.
• To opt out of the Advanced Auto High-Beam Sensitiv-
ity Control (default) and enter Reduced High-Beam

Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed
to ensure proper performance. See your local authorized
dealer.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped

whenever the engine is running, and the transmission is
not in the PARK position. The lights will remain on until
the ignition is switched to the OFF or ACC position or the
parking brake is engaged. NOTE:
•
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the same
side of the vehicle will turn off for the duration of the
turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no longer
active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.
• The DRL function may be disabled through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
