GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE49

Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first
detent for parking light and instrument panel
light operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the
second detent for headlight, parking light, and
instrument panel light operation.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) — IF
E
QUIPPED
The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate
when the engine is started and the
transmission is in any gear except PARK. This
provides a constant "lights on" condition until
the ignition is placed in the OFF position. The
lights illuminate at less than half of normal
intensity. If the parking brake is applied, the
Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) will turn off.
Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp
on the same side of the vehicle may turn off for
the duration of the turn signal activation. Once
the turn signal is no longer active, the DRL lamp
will illuminate.
NOTE:
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 Ucon -
nect system, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever toward the
instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beam. Pulling the multifunction lever back
toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — IF EQUIPPED

The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
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 or forward facing camera. 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 Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off by selecting “ON”
under “Auto Dim High Beams” within your
Uconnect settings, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer
to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” 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 func -
tion improperly.

To opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam
Sensitivity Control (default) and enter
Reduced High Beam Sensitivity Control (not
recommended), on vehicles equipped with
mirror controlled automatic high beams and
without the forward facing camera, toggle the
high beam lever six full on/off cycles within
10 seconds of placing the ignition in the ON
position. The system will return to the default
setting when the ignition is OFF.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam
Headlamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror
must be re-aimed to ensure proper
performance. See a local authorized dealer.

Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
for further information.
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 — IF EQUIPPED
This system automatically turns your headlights
on or off based on ambient light levels. To turn
the system on, turn the headlight switch to the
extreme clockwise position aligning the
indicator with the AUTO on the headlight switch.
When the system is on, the Headlight Time
Delay feature is also on. This means your
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds
after the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
To turn the Automatic System off, turn the
headlight switch counterclockwise to the O (off)
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before the head -
lights will come on in the Automatic mode.
DIRECTIONAL LED HEADLAMP SYSTEM
— I
F EQUIPPED
This is a system consisting of LED (low/high
beam) headlights that incorporate dynamic
cornering with 5-degree inboard/15-degree
outboard swivel. The headlights continuously
and automatically adapt to the driving
conditions around bends or when cornering
based on steering wheel angle.
The system directs the headlights to light up the
road in the best way, taking into account the
speed of the vehicle and the bend or corner
angle, as well as the speed of the vehicle while
the steering wheel is being turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is traveling above
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
This system can be turned on/off through the
Uconnect Settings under “Steering Directed
Lights”. Refer to Uconnect Settings in
“Multimedia” for further information.

PARKING LIGHTS AND PANEL LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, from the O (off) position, rotate the
headlight switch clockwise to the first detent. To
turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS
(A
VAILABLE WITH AUTOMATIC
H
EADLIGHTS ONLY)
When this feature is active, the headlights will
turn on approximately 10 seconds after the
wipers are turned on if the headlight switch is
placed in the AUTO position. In addition, the
headlights will turn off when the wipers are
turned off, if they were turned on by this feature.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated
when the ignition is turned off 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/
RUN position.
NOTE:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” for further information.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is placed in the OFF
position, a chime will sound and a message will
appear in the instrument cluster display when
the driver’s door is opened.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the
parking lights or low beam headlights and push
in the center of the headlight switch control
knob. Pushing the headlight switch control knob
a second time will turn the front fog lights off.

Front Fog Light Switch

TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster display will flash to show proper
operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defec
-
tive outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to
light when the lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This
system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and transmission control
systems. When these systems are operating
properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as
engine emissions well within current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD
II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other information to assist your service
technician in making repairs. Although your
vehicle will usually be drivable and not need
towing, see an authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(OBD II) C
YBERSECURITY
Your vehicle is required to have an Onboard
Diagnostic system (OBD II) and a connection
port to allow access to information related to
the performance of your emissions controls. Authorized service technicians may need to
access this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
For further information, refer to “Cybersecurity”
in “Multimedia”.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions tests can
be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
WARNING!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected to
the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could
be impaired or a loss of vehicle control
could occur that may result in an acci
-
dent involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access, infor -
mation stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
