48GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 ACC position, or
the parking brake is engaged.
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 191.
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 beam.
Pulling the multifunction lever back toward the
steering wheel will turn the low beams back on.
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 camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror
or a windshield mounted camera. These cameras
detect vehicle specific light and automatically
switch 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 Ú page 191, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position.
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 obstruc -
tions on the windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function improperly.
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Head -
lamp Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must
be re-aimed to ensure proper performance. See
a local authorized dealer.
To opt out of the Automatic High-Beam Sensi -
tivity Control (default) and enter Reduced
High-Beam Sensitivity Control (not recom -
mended), toggle the multifunction lever six full
on/off cycles within 10 seconds of ignition ON.
The system will return to the default setting
when the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
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, rotate the headlight switch to the AUTO
position.
When the system is on, the Headlight 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. To turn the automatic
headlights off, turn the headlight switch out of the
AUTO position.
NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights
will come on in the Automatic mode.

DIRECTIONAL LED HEADLAMP
S
YSTEM — IF 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” Ú page 191.
PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument panel
lights, rotate the headlight switch clockwise. To
turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, the first headlight
switch position is the parking lights and instrument
panel lights position (instead of the OFF position).
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch to the AUTO position.
HEADLIGHTS ON WITH WIPERS
If your vehicle is equipped with Automatic
Headlights, it also has this
customer-programmable feature. When your
headlights are in the automatic mode and the
engine is running, they will automatically turn on
when the wiper system is on. This feature is
programmable through the Uconnect system
Úpage 191.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Rain Sensing
Wiper system Ú page 54, and it is activated, the
headlights will automatically turn on after the
wipers complete five wipe cycles within
approximately one minute, and they will turn off
approximately four minutes after the wipers
completely stop.
NOTE:When your headlights come on during the daytime,
the instrument panel lights will automatically dim
to the lower nighttime intensity.
HEADLIGHT DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the headlight
delay feature will leave the headlights on for up to
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:
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system Ú page 191.
The headlight delay feature is automatically
activated if the headlight switch is left in the
AUTO position when the ignition is placed in the
OFF position.
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.

STARTING AND OPERATING113
STARTING FLUIDS
The engine is equipped with an automatic electric
air preheating system. If the instructions in this
manual are followed, the engine should start in all
conditions.
NORMAL OPERATION — DIESEL ENGINE
Observe the following when the engine is
operating.
All message center lights are off.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off.
Engine oil pressure is above 10 psi (69 kPa) at
idle.
Voltmeter operation:
The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at
various engine temperatures. This cycling
operation is caused by the post-heat cycle of the
intake manifold heater system. The number of
cycles and the length of the cycling operation is
controlled by the engine control module. Post-heat
operation can run for several minutes, and then
the electrical system and voltmeter needle will
stabilize.
The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of
the headlamps, interior lamps, and also a
noticeable reduction in blower motor speed.
WARNING!
Starting fluids or flammable liquids must never
be used in the Cummins® diesel engine (see
Warning label). Never pour diesel fuel,
flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the
air cleaner canister, air intake piping, or
turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the
vehicle. This could result in a flash fire and
explosion causing serious personal injury and
engine damage.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key fob and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector. Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle (or in a location accessible to chil -
dren), and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

REFUELING THE VEHICLE— GASOLINE
ENGINE
NOTE:When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel
tank is full.
NOTE:Tighten the gas cap a quarter turn until you hear
one click. This is an indication that the cap is
properly tightened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the
Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure
the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is
refueled.
LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a loose gASCAP indicator will display in
the instrument cluster telltale display area
Ú
page 81. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and
push the RIGHT button to turn off the message. If
the problem continues, the message will appear
the next time the vehicle is started.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — DIESEL ENGINE
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a
“clicking” sound. This is an indication that the
fuel filler cap is properly tightened.
Make sure that the fuel filler cap is tightened
each time the vehicle is refueled.
The inlet for the engine air intake is located
behind the passenger side headlamp and
receives air through the grille.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or emissions
control system could result from using an
improper fuel tank filler tube cap (fuel filler
cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities
into the fuel system. Also, a poorly-fitted after
-
market cap can cause the Malfunction Indi -
cator Light (MIL) to illuminate due to fuel
vapors escaping from the system.
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the
MIL to turn on.
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed
or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine
is running. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may cause
the MIL to turn on.
WARNING!
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place gas containers on
the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
