The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes disconnected,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain
armed when the battery is reconnected;
the exterior lights will flash, the horn
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation.The system also includes a dual func-
tion intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt
sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle
for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on and the turn signal and
side repeater lights will flash for
34 seconds. The system will repeat
this sequence for up to 8 security
violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.

(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mir-
ror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE:
SmartBeam™ can be turned on or
off using the Uconnect Touch™
System, refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
 Broken, muddy, or obstructed
headlights and taillights of ve-
hicles in the field of view will
cause the high beams to remain
on longer and not automatically
switch to low beams until you
are closer to the approaching ve-
hicle. Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield
or camera lens will cause the
system to function improperly.
