You can enable or disable these
features in the information display or
your authorized dealer can do it for
you. See General Information (page

Locks

Note:If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low
beam headlamps will illuminate
automatically when the rain sensor
activates the windshield wipers
continuously.
Note: Wet or winter driving conditions
with ice, snow or salty road mist can
cause inconsistent and unexpected
wiping or smearing.
In these conditions, you can do the
following to help keep your windshield
clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount
of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off.
A

E169315
Highest sensitivity
A
OnB
Lowest sensitivity
C The autowipers feature uses a rain
sensor. You will find it in the area
around the interior mirror. The rain
sensor monitors the amount of
moisture on the windshield and
automatically turns on the wipers. It
will adjust the wiper speed by the
amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield. You can
turn this feature on and off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 101).
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the
control to low sensitivity, and the
wipers will turn on when the rain
sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. Set the
control to high sensitivity, and the
wipers will turn on when the rain
sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive.
If the area around the mirror is dirty,
then the wipers may operate if dirt,
mist or insects hit the windshield.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:
Do not operate the washers
when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to
overheat.

(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch your

weather. The system does not
activate the tail lamps and may not
provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions
may result in a collision.
The system switches the signature
lamps on in day light conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting
control to the off, autolamp, or
parking lamp position.

Lighting

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on
your high beams if it is dark enough
and no other traffic is present. When
it detects the headlights of an
approaching vehicle, the tail lamps of
the preceding vehicle or street lighting,
the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other
drivers. The low beams remain on.
Note:If it appears that automatic
control of the high beams is not
functioning properly, check the
windshield in front of the camera for a
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Have any windshield damage in the
area of the camera’s field-of-view
repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage
such as bird droppings, bug splatter,
snow or ice, and you do not observe
changes, the system will go into low
beam mode until you clear the
blockage. A message may also appear
in the instrument cluster display noting
the front camera is blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the performance
of the automatic high beam system .
However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, you will notice a decrease
in the availability of the high beam
system, especially at start up. If you
want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
switch the high beams on or off using
the multifunction switch. Automatic
control will resume when conditions
are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires,
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to
decide when to switch the high beams
off and on.
Once the system is active, the high
beams will switch on if:
• the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph (40 km/h)
The high beams will switch off if:
• the system detects the headlamps of an approaching vehicle or the
tail lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below 16 mph (25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high enough that high beams are not
required

• the system detects severe rain,snow or fog

Manually Overriding the
System
E169254

malfunction. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch

Note: Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being

will sound to remind you to
fasten your safety belt. See
