Outside Mirrors With Turn Signal And
Approach Lighting — If Equipped
Driver and passenger outside mirrors with turn signal and
approach lighting contain four LEDs, which are located in
the upper outer corner of each mirror.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal indicators, which flash
with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front and
rear of the vehicle. Turning on the Hazard Warning
flashers will also activate these LEDs.
The fourth LED supplies illuminated entry lighting, which
turns on in both mirrors when you use the key fob or open
any door. This LED shines outward to illuminate the front
and rear door handles. It also shines downward to
illuminate the area in front of the doors.
The illuminated entry lighting fades to off after about 30
seconds or it will fade to off immediately once the ignition
is placed into the ON/RUN position.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
The headlight switch is located on the left side of the
instrument panel, next to the steering wheel. The
headlight switch controls the operation of the headlights,
parking lights, instrument panel lights, and fog lights (if
equipped).

Headlight Switch Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada Only)

NOTE:Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a headlight
switch with an AUTO and ON detent but without an OFF
detent. Headlights will be deactivated when the headlight
switch is placed in the parking lights position. However,
the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along
with the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged. To turn on the headlights, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise. When the headlight switch is on, the parking
lights, taillights, license plate light and instrument panel
lights are also turned on. To turn off the headlights, rotate
the headlight switch back to the O (off) position.
For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight switch
clockwise from the parking lights and instrument panel
lights position to the AUTO position for automatic
headlights. Rotate to the second detent to turn on
headlights, parking lights, and instrument panel lights
operation.
NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog
light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic
is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore
different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
 To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and
reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.

MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the
steering column.

Multifunction Lever

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS)
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) come on whenever the
engine is running, and the low beams are not on. The
lights will remain on until the ignition is placed in the OFF
or ON/RUN position, or the parking brake is engaged. The
headlight switch must be used for normal nighttime
driving.
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 197.
 On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may
deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side of the
vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that side), or
on both sides of the vehicle (when the hazard warning
lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel
to switch the headlights to high beams. Pulling the
multifunction lever back toward the steering wheel will
turn the low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlight 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 automatically switches from high beams
to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
 The Automatic High Beam Headlight system can be
turned on or off by selecting or deselecting “Auto High
Beam” within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
 The headlight switch must also be turned to the AUTO
position after Automatic High Beams is enabled within
Uconnect Settings for the feature to activate.
 Automatic High Beams will only activate when the
vehicle speed is above 22 mph (35 km/h).
 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. If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlight
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed to
ensure proper performance. See a local authorized dealer.
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
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system on,
rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to the AUTO
position. 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. The headlight time delay can be
programmed 0/30/60/90 seconds
Úpage 197.
To turn the automatic system off, move the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights will
come on in the automatic mode.

feature can be turned on/off, and the length of time the
headlights stay on can be programmed for up to
90 seconds within Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
Proximity Wake-Up — If Equipped
This feature is enabled/disabled within the Uconnect
system, and is activated when the operator approaches
the driver’s door, passenger’s door, or liftgate with a valid
key fob on their person. Some exterior and interior lights
will illuminate in order to provide an increased sense of
welcome and security as the operator approaches the
vehicle in the dark. “Headlight Illumination On Approach”
must be selected and set to a time value other than zero
within Uconnect Settings for Proximity Wake-Up to
activate.
The doors may be locked or unlocked for this feature to
activate, as long as the ignition is in the OFF position, or
during a Remote Start event. It will not activate if the doors
are locked and the ignition was placed in the ON/RUN
position.
NOTE:Proximity Wake-Up may not activate under the following
conditions:
 After numerous consecutive activations, in order to
conserve the vehicle’s battery
 After the vehicle’s engine has been off for several days Headlight Animation — If Equipped
When “Headlight Illumination On Approach” is turned on,
and set to a time value above zero, the exterior lights
illuminate in a theatrical manner during approach to the
vehicle. This feature is activated in the following
situations:

Proximity Wake-Up (if equipped) is activated
 Remote Start is activated
 The unlock button on the key fob is pushed
NOTE:For Headlight Animation to activate with Remote Start or
with the push of the unlock button, “Greeting Lights” must
also be selected within the Uconnect system.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a
headlight delay that will leave the headlights on for
approximately 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the
ignition is placed in the OFF position while the headlight
switch is on, and then the headlight switch is cycled off.
Headlight delay can be canceled by either turning the
headlight switch on then off, or by placing the ignition in
the ON position.
NOTE:The headlight delay time is programmable through
Uconnect Settings Úpage 197.

If the ignition is placed in the OFF position and any door is
left ajar for 10 minutes or if the overhead console Dome
ON switch is pressed, and the interior lights are on for
10 minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off.
NOTE:Battery saver mode is canceled if the ignition is in the
