Auto Comfort Systems — If Equipped
In vehicles equipped with Auto On Comfort, when turning
on the vehicle the heated steering wheel will automatically
turn on when temperatures are below 40° F (4.4° C).
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,
spinal cord injury, 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

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.

Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automat-
ing high beam control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera de-
tects 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 can be
turned on or off using the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
• 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.
Parking Lights
From the O (off) position, rotate the headlight switch to the
first detent (parking position) to turn on the parking lights.
The parking light indicator in the instrument cluster will
illuminate.
Headlight Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination
for up to 90 seconds when leaving your vehicle in an unlit
area.
The time delay of the headlights is programmable between
0, 30, 60 and 90 seconds. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Headlight Delay Activation
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF
position while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off the
headlights within two minutes. The delay interval begins
when the headlight switch is turned off from the “Low-
beam” position.
If the headlight switch is in AUTO position and headlights
were on before the ignition is OFF, the delay interval begins
automatically.
54 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Headlight Delay Disable

headlights will turn off the fog lights. Cornering Lights
The cornering lights are a feature to improve visibility at
night while turning the vehicle. When activated, a light
incorporated in the front fog light will illuminate on the

signal indicator is on. It can be activated through the
Uconnect System.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information.
